One second, I was still where I was. Next, I was right in front of the entourage, as I grabbed its forehead and dunked its entire head into concrete. Dust and debris flew everywhere, and I looked at its lifeless body...

Huehuehue...

Up close, its design was much more attractive than I could imagine.

Fleshhhhhhhh...

I licked my lips.

Halelelelee....

"Nothinnnn personaaaallll..." Just when my devilish grasp was an inch away from its body, its hand came alive and gripped my wrist with a surprising force.

"New danger level determined. Danger level extremely high, eliminate on spot." As it got me into arm lock, with her foot stamped on my shoulder while she pulls my hands towards her...It was ripping my arm off literally. I did everything I could and the effort looks like a fish jumping on land.

"AGHHHH!!!" I screamed as it rolled sideways on the ground while keeping hold of my arm. Then it did some sort of jiu-jitsu move that involved sitting on of me and pulling my other good arm at a disturbing angle. I made a risky choice, though far better than the option of every single bone inside me broken. I clamped its neck with my ankles, then I rolled myself upside on the ground. And backed up as far as possible.

I watched in silence as it stood up, and turned to face me. Its face remained impassive, but I could just imagine its human expression doing a: "That's the best you got?" face. It just stood there and continued to give an icy stare. There was a kind of solid tension in the air, finally unable to stand it, I surged forward and decide a put a fist through its face for once and for all. I was fast, but it was faster. It side stepped my fist and did a move so fast I was unable to interoperate it, aside from the fact I was literally 3 inches deep into the ceiling. Then my body peeled of the ceiling and smashed right back onto the ground. I tried getting up on my knees, but it didn't like that idea. Before I could get to my feet, it came right up in my face, with a move way faster than my eye could catch. My skull caved in. For a brief moment my conscious literally blurred out, and my vision went completely black. A moment later I recovered. And found the strength to stand up again. Wiping the blood from my face I smirked. It stood there and studied me with the same pair of cold eyes.

"ARAHHH! ARAHHH!!" I cried like a dying animal, but I didn't care. All I wanted was to grab it. AGRGHRGHRHGR!!! I was at the verge of insanity, I might as well give in. But somehow I still managed to preserve logic, under all the chaos my mind been through. And after seeing her moves, my mind came to one single logical conclusion; I need to GTFO here.

Midway through planning a brilliant escape plan I realized I was already running away, deeper into the complex... It didn't matter, I just had to get away from it and fast. I ran like the wind, but every time I turned a corner, I caught a glimpse of it right up my tail. What? I literally did have a tail long and with a spear tipped end...

As thoughts circulated my mind, I realized I was running laps inside the complex; with that little fat gargoyle sitting there... the staircase I thought would get me to the surface was getting close only around a few more corners. A plan quickly formulated in my mind...

I was running so fast I literally had to drift to a stop while making the zigzag turns. When I did I stood at the base of the staircase and waited for my pursuer to appear. And it appeared. For a moment I caught a glimpse of it in perfect stillness, beautiful and unmoving, like an elegant statue. But true beauty only lasts for a moment, and it gave me no time to awe. There was no pain when it happened, just a sense of lightness. Next thing I knew, I was looking at everything from the height of a rat and judging from the pain, I would say she separated my lower half of my body from my upper half of the body, literally.

It turned away and begin to take its leave, just when I made sure I was out of sight. I began to shuffle on my stomach. At first it felt numb, then I felt the ground below become squishy, and no doubt it was my innards, which were spilled everywhere on the ground. But the pain wasn't bad compared to dragging myself up the staircase. The experience was like crawling on a staircase made of daggers, each step cutting you away little by little, till there is nothing left. During the process my innards begin to fall out. The most irritating part was my unnatural regrowth ability, one moment I felt as light as nothing, with all my blood and innards drained out. Next moment I found like dragging a building as I felt the lower the half of my body regenerating and without the strength to walk.

AGRHHH!!!

As I climbed begin to think: After I get out, I am going to kill Iu for this...that's if I ever get my hands on it... that's when I felt something was wrong. I managed to awkwardly turn my head around and caught a glimpse of it standing at the base to the stairs. I hoped it would it wouldn't notice me, just half a bloody corpse dragging himself up the stairs, totally not obvious. It spotted me.

Fkfkfkfkf...

The meaning of hope is no more than its virtue, but the true power of hope is not in the belief, but in the motivation. But at this current moment, no amount of hope could save me, the only thing that would save me would be...

A fking miracle.
