Chapter 20(Holocaust)

(Running footsteps).... Phew! Phew! Phew!

The sword cut through the thick thorns of the forest.

*Panting heavily...

Haha! I got you.The armed man said.

(Clashing of swords)

Arrgg!!! The fight went on for more minutes until he eventually got weary and ran further into the forest, the agile fighter ran after the weary one to subdue him.

Swoosh.... An arrow flew through and hit the one running into the forest as the arrow passed through his body hereby forcing it out of his chest,he dropped dead with blood gushing out of him.

Bloody fool....I got you first.

Catherine went further and cut off his head.

She cleaned her sword and was about continuing her journey in the forest when she heard a close growl of an animal. She turned backward slowly to see what animal it is, Catherine couldn't believe her eyes as she saw a two-head leopard growling angrily at her.

What in the name of God!!! ....she stuttered frighteningly.

The two-head leopard growled once more and this time leaped forward to pounce on her but she swiftly swayed by and took to her heels as the animal chased after her.

(Ominous sound)...

With all might and strength,she ran. 

(She ran fast until she came across a grassy valley and chose to glide down... The leopard growled angrily and changed its route. With the force she glided down the grassy valley;she made a stop with a rock she hit)

Arggghhh!!!.... Damn it, my ankle.

She got up slowly and found out she couldn't walk perfectly... Limping gently towards a rock to sit,Catherine was terrified to hear the animal growl again... She looked back and saw the animal once again and chose to accept her fate. 

As the animal leaped forward one more time to get it's prey,Catherine cuddled up herself in fear waiting for the animal to have its way but soon enough discovered nothing happened only to open her eyes and saw the animal lying lifeless in front of her with an arrow right through its ribs. She staggered as she tried to get on her feet (quick thoughts ran through her mind....."Who shot this arrow) she limped quickly to a nearby rock that could hid her from the unseen shooter and waited patiently to see who would come pick the animal. 

Few minutes later..... A man in his late 50's is seen walking towards the animal corpse, Catherine kept mute all through and waited till the man was done butchering the animal and putting the remains in his sack bag, he left as soon as he was done and didn't even notice if someone was nearby.

Catherine slowly got up after the man left and walked straight into the forest.

(Wind howling heavily).....

A female voice shouted in the woods "Help !!! Help me !!! She shouted from a long distance. Catherine,who is badly injured limped further to where she thinks the voice is coming from, she got nearer and saw that there is a ditch and the voice is coming from the inside. The ditch is so dark and it has this stench from the inside, Catherine had to take out a torch from her bag, put it on and pointed it into the ditch;she got the shock of her life when she saw Francis, Percy torn to pieces lying on dead bodies and Perry having her two eyes gushed out.

Catherine in a terrified state couldn't believe her eyes screamed with fear....Haaaaaaaa!!! 

(The rest of the team dashed into Catherine's room upon hearing her scream )...

What happened ? Percy asked frighteningly.

Catherine opened her eyes and saw it was all a dream.

It's just a dream,it's just a dream....Francis said pulling her close to his chest.

I-i... Stammering... I saw you and Percy torn apart and Perry's two eyes gushed out from it's socket and you were all thrown into a dark ditch. I fought a armed man and killed him and that wasn't the last as I did encounter a two headed leopard....this place is cursed, she said glumly.

Hey!!! We pulled through and said we are not giving up till we got your parents out of this place, remember grandma told us we are walking into a mysterious forest,I guess you are the seer for this journey as that's a sign to let us know the dangers ahead of us if we don't plan it out before embarking on the journey....Francis responded calming the terrifying atmosphere down.

I'll go make some tea....Ying said. I'll go with you said Perry.

We need a plan !!!

Let's make contact with Grandma,don't you think ? Requested Percy.

I guess it will grant us a clear edge over that kind of dream Catherine had.

Let's get her laid to rest and have ourselves freshened for the day before embarking on that inquisitive ideology of yours,Francis rejoinders.

That dream Cathy had is actually a real one, Ying remarked. I have been to that place before I was walking along that route one day looking for dry woods to use and make fire when I heard a heavy thud nearby,I ran quickly towards the direction of the sound only to see some armed men wheel dead bodies down and throw them one by one into the ditch,when they left I went closer to the ditch looked down but couldn't see through. I had to quietly make fire and knelt down to see through but got sick with the odour that came out of it,still I chose to saw what was in it only to see pile of dead bodies lying waste in it...they were all gruesomely murdered,it wasn't a natural death..it was month's later I discovered that the villagers I ran from we're the ones who murdered them and feed to the Yeti who in turn kept them all safe from far and nearby enemies.

OMG !!! Exclaimed Perry....this people are barbaric,what pride do they find in killing innocent humans and using them as sacrifices to a non-human eating animal?

"You know about the animal ? Asked Ying.

Yes,I do. The Yeti isn't a human eater rather it's an animal that feeds on non-predator animals like sheep's and other wise if necessary plants. How it's now made to eat humans and drink their blood is questionable.

That's magical if I will comment on that....Francis said.
