I watched from afar, present but not present at the same
time, as the thick black smog weaved through the air as if a fish swimming
through water. It twisted towards the nearest male; lean but muscular body with
short, dark hair and even tanned skin. He walked with a small group of his
friend until the smog struck him from the back, knocking him down and being
absorbed into his body.
He lifted himself up slightly with one arm, and turned his
head in my direction. I watch as his face deformed into this hideous creature.
His eyes disappeared into black voids that grew far too large for his face. No
color was shown in the eyes, no pupils just black. His face thinned out until
it was bony and his mouth became a similar black void. Just a hideous, frozen
face before the face morphed back into the original features. The smog
continued through his friends that tried escaping, possessing them, and
controlling them to its will.
Suddenly I’m in a dormitory room knowing that these now
possessed males were out in the same halls. My enemy or rival, a blond woman
with curly hair, was within the room threatening to kill me as normal. But I
warned her we had to work together for what was to come or else we would die,
and she wouldn’t see Henry, a young child that she held dear to.
The door started to shake. The creature knew we were inside
the room, I just knew that it knew. I could feel my heart beat increase but
felt no true fear. Suddenly it was like reality was warped into having another
realm or world overlapping it. There were strands of gold that would flicker
through my vision. Things would become unfocused and focused, the males
themselves would become focused and unfocused.
It shifted, the world was just one again and the colors of
gold disappeared. The first possessed male was in front of me, his back towards
me as he faced the blonde woman. He had no shirt and his body was covered with
lacerations, blood seeping out through them. The blonde yelled at me, “Finish
him!”
I glanced to my right hand. My fingers were wrapped tightly
around a dagger. Peering back up, I knew this creature had to die. Aiming, I jabbed the knife all the way into
the body right down to the hilt, along the dip of muscle to indicate where the
spine was, and pulled down a few inches before pulling out the dagger. Blood
dripped from the body, unnaturally slow instead of pouring out of the serious
wound.
Slowly the head turned towards my direction as if unaffected
by what attack. The eyes were dark, black amongst the white of the eyes. Seeing
the exposed neck, I threw a slash slicing the thin flesh. Finally he went down,
blood gushing from the neck wound. The black smog exited out the body and the
other males retreated for now.
