My Four Other Selves Chapter 8

"Wahhh."
Just as he heard that he started to shiver badly. He slowly turned his head, trying his best to stop himself from falling down there.
As soon as he turned around he saw a giant scary monster with red and blue skin, big horns on his head and two of his tusks growing out making him look more ugly.
"OH MY GOD! AN ONIIIIIIIII."
Before he could even react the oni started to run towards him. His one step was long enough that Zhang Yong felt his death getting closer and closer.
"Ahhhhh. Run you idiot." He yelled out loud when he realized that he was now just some steps away from him.
"Oni chan please leave me. I am a poor soul."
He was running now like a mad person and that oni was after him. His voice was making him weak, he felt his legs getting numb but he was still running hoping that he would stop but as he was getting fast that oni was getting fast too.
"Bad dream! Bad dream! Wake up Zhang. Wake up now. This dream will end soon, don't worry. "
Zhang Yong was running when all of a sudden his eyes fell on a big tree that was probably bigger than that oni.
He turned around but this time saw the oni really close to him. "Ohh. nooooooo." The oni had a big shaft in his hand which he twirled in the air.
His eyes widened when he saw that shaft coming towards him and then it hit him with so much force that he went flying to the other side. His back hit the tree which he was seeing a minute ago.
That oni started to come close to him but before he could realize where Zhang yong was, he went over and hid behind that tree. Zhang Yong was breathing heavily, his one hand was on his chest, trying to calm himself down while the other hand was clutching the side.

"Huh? Why did it decrease. Wahahah."
"Am I going to die today like this?"
The rustling of leaves, wind whistling around trunks and his low growls were only adding more fear to him. Even the slightest noise was enough for him to feel scared.
Just then he heard feet shuffling from a distance. His heart beat immediately fastened and he realized that oni was still looking for him.
"What should I do now?" He asked himself as he felt those steps getting closer and closer.
He was panting hard like he had just run a big marathon and it felt like he would just fall down on the floor any minute.
At first he just hid behind that big tree which was enough to hide his petite body behind it but now he knew he can't stay there any longer.
He checked through the corner to see if that oni was still there or not.
"Oh no he is still there and looks scary. Wahah."
"Mommy save me."
His heart felt like it would just jump out of his chest any minute and he felt the urge to just run away from there but he knew if he were to run away he would definitely get killed by that oni.
"I should climb on this tree."
Soon he put his right foot up as he started to climb up the tree. He made sure that he climbed up in a straight line so that he wouldn't get seen by oni.
"Oh my god he is looking more scary from here. When will this dream even end?"
He just kept his body there for some time before climbing up again but this time his eyes went to the left side and he saw a black lizard just beside him.

He was really scared of lizards and these types of animals. He saw the lizard coming towards him slowly.
He was just about to scream when suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth wide but then closed it immediately after realizing his state.
'No! Calm yourself down Zhang.'
He tried to breathe to calm himself down
He was looking at the lizard with wide eyes waiting impatiently for that lizard's next move.
The lizard was taking some slow steps towards him while Zhang Yong was looking at it from the corner of his eyes.
Suddenly he heard the growl of that oni when he wasn't able to find Zhang Yong.
He was looking at everything from the corner of the tree. At once he was looking at her left to see that oni and once he was looking at the lizard behind her.
All of a sudden the lizard fell down from the tree. It looked really ugly when it fell down and Zhang Yong just wanted to turn around and run away from there but he clearly knew that he was helpless at that time and couldn't do anything but stood there, hoping for everything to get okay soon.
Zhang Yong was lucky this time and the lizard finally left from there. He heaved a big sigh of relief as his one fear was now over and now he just had to deal with that oni. He shuddered with just the thought.
He again leaned a little to see if that oni was still there or not.....
Zhang Yong again leaned a little to see if Oni was still there or not and to his bad luck he was still standing there looking around.
"What the? Why can't he just go?" As soon as he said those words to himself, he saw Oni taking a step towards the tree.
"No! No!"
With that he hurriedly started to climb up the tree. Oni took some steps towards the tree, he was now just beside it, his neck went around the tree to see if Zhang Yong was there or not.
He looked here and there but to his bad luck Zhang Yong wasn't there any more.
"Ahhhhh."..... .
