Chapter 5 The Forest
~Atlas~
I made back to camp. I can feel something following me but I don't know what. I walked straight to the place where we are having our fire.
"Atlas, are you alright?" Bade asked.
"Yeah, of course. I'm fine like nothing is following and watching me. What make you think that?" I said quickly.
"Atlas, tell us now," I hear Griffin said. I turn to face him.
I shook my head, "It's nothing really,"
"If you say so," Griffin said, walking off to get the rest of his things. I looking behind me, really quickly. I could feel a present behind me, staring and watching my movements. I feel like I was going to break. I won't let it get to me. I have to hide this from them unless it will attack us.
A few moments passed, I still can feel it staring at me. I looked behind me to try to find out it is. There was nothing but trees. I could feel Griffin and the other knights stare. I shook my head and continued on what I was doing. I started to hear movements again; I quickly turn my head towards the sound. Its sound like human but not. I really don't how to explain it.
Griffin stood up and walked front of me. He looked at the tees and bushes. Something came out of the trees and it was covered in blood. The thing has a human figure in it mouth. I remember what Dane called them. It was an anthropophagus. It's like cannibalism.
"Griffin, we should go now," I said, placing my hand on his shoulder.
"Why?" he asked, glancing back at me.
"That an anthropophagus," I stated, hearing metal moving.
"What's that?"
"Cannibal," I said, backing up slowly. We heard it moan.
"Tasty flesh," it said, moving closer. Griffin pulled out his sword," Too fat but you'll do nicely," It said, pointing at me.
"Griffin, I really think we should go," I said, trying to remain calm.
"I got this," Griffin said, swing his sword at the man.
"YOUR TOO FAT!" The man yelled, pushing Griffin to the ground. The man came running towards me. The knight intercepted the man's path, "Too fat," He said again, pushing passed the other knights. I picked up a sword knowing that I have to use it. The man came to a dead run at me and stopped,"You'll do nicely," He said, moving closer. I saw Griffin was having trouble moving. The anthropophagus inch closer to me. I swung the sword but missed. I kept at until tripped over some roots. I hit my head on a rock. Everything is becoming blurry. I don't want to die, yet.
"AHHHHHH!" I screamed. I looked down and saw the man sliced a small piece of skin off of my left leg. I felt light headed. I tried to focus on something. I saw movement behind him. My eyes begin to close but I forced them open to see what is happening.
"Atlas! Hey, Atlas. Stay with me buddy. We're going to get you back to Dane's," I heard a voice.
"G-G-Griffin?" I said, slowly trying to see if it was him.
"Yeah, I'm here. Don't talk. You'll be fine," He said, lifting me up. I slowly closed my eyes.
