Chapter 8: Vision 1.3

I looked up as I embraced the smell of blood.

The wind became stronger, the waves became bigger.

I looked down and I saw my mom holding the arrow of the air bow.

"Are you sure you want to fight?" I ask.

"Yeah. I will not let you kill my kids" mom answered.

"But you just sit there and watch as your kids and husband died earlier. Are you sure you can protect those kids behind you? You see mom I don't want to hurt you. You're the only one who understands me in this family, well that's because Christian is dead, but please just let the kids die, and let's forget all about what happened. Okay?" I ask.

"Let's forget all that happened? Are you insane!? You killed your father and the twins, and I'm done with you killing my family!" said as she dashes towards me.

She tries to stab the arrow at me but she's too weak, she's so lumpy to the point that if I just kick her in the leg she will scream as if her leg was cut off.

I grab her hand and stab it with my knife.

I grab her head and knee her which makes her fell to the ground, I drag her to Cody and Carol.

"Look, because of how pathetic and useless you both are mom gets hurt. Because of how pathetic and useless you both are people died. Christian, Christa, Dad, and now Mom was hurt, why are you both still alive!?" I said as I throw mom aside.

I grab my knife and said.

"Goodbye you kiddos"

The knife was about to cut Carol's neck but, mom blocked me.

My knife was stabbed in mom's chest, blood starts gushing out from the stab, she tries to pull out the knife I was about to stop her but I can't.

I rushed towards mom to put pressure on the stab but she grabs my hand and said.

"Mark, it's fine I will surely die from this wound you can't save me anymore."

"No! Mom let me-" I couldn't finish what I'm saying as mom grabs my cheeks and said.

"Mark, stop. The only thing you could do now is to stop the killing. Don't kill the kids 'kay?"

"But why?! They're the cause why everyone died! Why would I show mercy to them?! They deserve to die!" I said as I grab my knife.

I stand up and was about to walk towards the kids but mom grabs my hand.

I looked back and I saw how terrible mom looked.

She starts coughing blood, her face was pale, and her body was starting to get cold.

Mom grabs my cheeks, looked into my eyes, and said.

"Please forgive me, Mark"

The only one who can understand me died.

The only one who knows what I love.

What I like.

What I dislike.

What my favorite food is.

She knows everything about me...

and now she's... dead.

And I'm the one... I'm the one who kills her.

It's all my fault.

No... No! It's not my fault.

Its... their fault!

Because of how weak they are Mom had to sacrifice herself.

Yeah... it's all their fault.

They take everything away from me.

They take Christian away from

I grab my knife and dash towards them. I threw my knife and it was about to hit Carol but the creature blocks it.

"WHY! WHY WOULD EVERYONE TRY TO PROTECT THEM!"

I pick up my shoe and throw it at the creature.

As soon as the creature's attention was at the shoe I garb my knife and I slide behind it and Cut its achilles, making the creature kneel.

I jump behind the creature's back and stab its back as many as I can.

I was able to stab the creature 7 times but that wasn't enough.

The creature grabbed my back and threw me.

My back full-on fall on the floor making a loud sound and making my knife flew.

My head fills dizzy, and my back felt like it was broken.

I looked up and I saw the creature walking towards me.

Subconsciously I dash towards Mom and grab my knife, the creature tried to attack me but somehow I was able to dodge it.

My body feels as light as ever, as if I was never thrown by that thing.

I grab my other knife and dash towards the creature throwing the other knife as a decoy, then as the creature blocked the knife I cut its other achilles making it fell down the ground.

I stabbed the creature's left eye making it scream in pain.

The creature attacked me but I was able to dodge it as if it was nothing.

I grab my other knife and tried to stab its chest but, I was too confident.

The creature punched me in the stomach making me flew back, but somehow I was still able to stand.

Maybe this is adrenaline.

I rush towards the mom to grab my knife.

As soon as I grab the creature tries to attack me with its tail.

As the tail was about to hit me, something happened.

The tail slowed down.

The waves slowed down.

Everything slowed down.

Maybe this happened when someone is in a near-death situation.

Because of that, I was able to dodge the tail.

I run behind the creature's back to conceal my presence and I thought I successfully escaped the creature's attack but, the creature turns back faster than I anticipated.

The creature attacks me with its right fist but luckily I was able to dodge it.

I tried to attack the creature but the creature sees through my attack and made a counter with its tail.

The creature's absurdly powerful tail strikes my body making me flew away.

As soon as I hit my body on the edge of the boat the creature lunch another attack but luckily I was able to dodge it in time.

"Only if I had my other knife in me..." I said as I catch my breath for all of this dodging and running.

I stared at the creature's feet as I get up and I noticed that there's blood dripping from it.

I then looked up and saw my knife still stabbed in its eye.

Then I realized that the creature didn't have any ears and it only relied upon its eyes.

"So if I just messed up its vision I'll win this fight huh?"

No... that would be too easy if I just need to mess up its eyes to win... what else is this creature using for sensing its enemy...
