《Re:Immortal》5. Immortal sacrifice

The horror of being chased by someone who wants to kill you - who wants to eat you alive. It’s hard to describe it.
Every step is important, because you won’t get another chance. Every second takes so much time, making it seem as if the world stopped only for you. Your legs tremble, and eyes begin to water, as your breathing gets louder, and louder. You finally look back.
Where are they!? Where are they!? Did I run away? Am I safe?!
You are not safe. Stupid wishes like this don’t come true.
Your heart begin to pound faster, as you take another look. After that you take another one. You need to see. You need to know, where they are. You need to make sure. It’s too scary, not to know.
This is your last mistake. You get slower, and you don’t even look where you are running. It’s so easy to trip over. It’s so easy to miss a rock, or a small hole in the ground.
You try to get up, but you know it… You know it in your heart…
You are going to die.
“Adam!” Anna shouted, when she looked at me. She didn’t stop… She didn’t hesitate even for a moment. Why would she?
She needed to survive. People don’t live for others, nor they need to die for them. We don’t live in a fantasy world… I think we don’t.
When I turned around, I saw it...
I looked at the wolf. I looked at his teeth, and I looked at his mouth. I could see it so clearly. His tongue, and beautiful fur. It was so close. So close…
I screamed in pain, as he bit my hand. So much blood. There is so much blood. I didn’t know, that I could bleed so much…

I tried to kick him, but it didn’t help. As I fought with him, I saw the others running towards us.
I was going to die...
Anna, help me! Please, help me! Come here! Why are you running!? Please! Help!
It didn’t take them long, to get to me. They must have been really hungry, because they didn’t wait at all. One of them bit my leg, growling angrily. I tried to fight, but there wasn’t much I could do. I hit one of them in the nose, but it only made him madder.
Yeah, he got so mad, that he attacked my throat, and he tore it open…
So much blood. There is so much blood. Their mouths, teeth, fur… All covered in my blood...
I couldn’t breathe… It was a first time in my life that I felt so helpless. He kept my neck in his mouth, looking at me with anger.
I felt that my stomach was getting teared open. It seemed that one of them decided to use his claws. This pain couldn’t be described with words, but getting eaten alive… This was even worse.
I wanted to scream. I really did, but I couldn’t.
That’s why I just looked in the sky, waiting for the pain to go away. I looked at the clouds, thinking that I will die…
How wrong I was…
I started screaming when the wolf let go of my neck. My throat healed almost instantly. I didn’t understand it, but there was something far more important right now.
I wasn’t dying...
No! Help! H-Help! Please! Someone!
I looked around the village with pain, but I couldn’t see anyone. It seemed that they hid in their houses. I could only scream. I wanted to call them, but words wouldn’t escape my mouth. I could only scream...

Don’t leave me! Please! Don’t leave me! Help me! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to be here! Please! Help me!
My hand! Don’t! No!
I screamed once again, when one of them ripped my hand away. It grew back… It grew back in the same moment!
Why?! Why is this happening?! Someone, please! Help me! Save me! Please!
I grabbed some sand from the ground, and I threw it at them. Of course it didn’t help much, because once more it only angered them.
It angered them so much, that one of them decided to rip my head off.
