Struggle - Final

A loud bang from above me woke me up, i immediately sit up with a flinch looking around trying to remember where am i before another loud came from above the tree trunks.

"You got to be kidding me!" I said while looking at the tiny gap between the tree trunks and there it is, two pair of eyes meet each others one i fear and the other in mocking amusement, the same fucker that chase me around. I don't know how he can find me here, if it's the blood from my scars or i'm pretty sure i'm coughing in my sleep and it's doesn't help that the rain already stop.

I don't know how many time i have been panicking this days, whatever bring me seems have sadistic tendency of putting me in shitty situation.

I look around trying to look for a way out of here, since the gap where i got in got closed by another tree trunks its extremely dark in here with only few light from sun came from the few small gaps.

"...! The water-" I noticed that since the rain is pretty heavy when i fall asleep, it's a miracle i'm not drowning to my death since this place is pretty much a massive hole on the ground.

I start trying my best looking at where the water flowing, while trying my best to ignore the loud sound of that thing smashing the tree trunks and the sound of cracking.

With each bang make heart beat faster, i finally find where the water flowing. I don't know because its dark or the panic attacks that i didn't notice it before until now, but there's a hole where if i can fit in. Without too much thinking i immediately go to that hole, put the bag infront of me since i can't afford to lose any of my stuff right now.

With only one arm while pushing a bag infront of me making it harder i start crawling my way out of this situation. Few seconds later, i heard one of the tree trunks shattered before a massive roar followed with heavy thing got pushed and rolling which seems on the tree trunks.

The thing that finally find it's prey, with final smash with it arms finally shattered the tree trunk that separates it with it's prey and push the other one away before it gave out triumph roar that immediately stop when its see it's prey crawling inside a hole.

The thing immediately use it's massive one of its scythe-like limb trying to drag it's prey out only to feel it scratching it's prey while hearing a pained scream. The thing pull it's limb out only to see there's blood on the tips of its limb, after giving a frustrated roar it bring it's scythe-like limb to the front of it's face and lick it.

It seems to like the taste of it's runaway prey and can't wait for finally finish this little game of theirs, it's roar shake the whole forest and scared alot of creatures.

"Aahhhh!! FUCK!!!" I scream after feeling extreme pain from my left calf that feels like it was tore open. I try to crawling as fast as i can with all my power while ignoring all the pain my body suffered.

I keep crawling and crawling, not knowing for how long i have been crawling, i don't know if it's because of the pain and the stress but all i feel like there's whisperers telling me to keep moving forward and don't stop.

Before long my mind felt empty and calmness claim me, the stress, pain, sadness, anxiety, fear all gone. I keep crawling and crawling, no matter if it's straightforward, upwards or descending.

Even when my finger tips bleeding, even when my lips and throat feel dry, the only thing in my mind is crawl.

"A little bit more..." Words came out of my mouth, i don't know why or how do i know. But before long i feel myself falling down.

There for a moment i see it, an underground lake that is glowing with a small island on the middle with a big tree surrounded by glowing crystals and glowing blue flowers.

When i felt myself hit the water, i saw there's alot of crystals inside the lake, and some glowing mold/fungus around the bottom and walls.

I feel some of the waters come unto my mouth making my throat satisfied with the wet and cold sensation. I should be panicking or trying to get out of here before i'm drowning, but all i feel right now

'How beautiful...'

Is tranquility.
