Nad's POV
I can feel my body move backward as I push my blade forward, deflecting her long claws. Her eyes are shining red as she tries to bite my skin. I try to move and attack her but she's stronger than me. I struggle to keep my posture solid but no vail, I can feel my feet touch the water again. I grunt in agony as she forcefully shoves me closer to the water.
If this keeps up, my wrist is going to break. I need to move fast since this beast is clearly going to m******e me. I quickly bent down and step aside with my left hand, I punch her in the stomach, earning a grunt from the beast. It removes its claws from my blade.
So I use this moment to kick its knee before stabbing its neck. A green liquid starts oozing out of its mouth, I plunge the blade deeper into its throat making the creature shriek, loud enough to almost damage my hearing.
Seconds later, one by one the creature's claws start falling off, the flesh begins to rot. The then beautiful face it has turned into a horrid one, its eyes, teeth, even her hair start falling off. It starts to smell, I put my left foot on its neck and push it to retrieve my blade, that is now rust-covered.
Frustrated I threw it to the ground, few seconds past, I can feel my hand sting.
''F-ck! My hands, Ishma!''
''Wash them! Its blood acts as an acid.''
''Ack!'' I groan as my flesh continue to burn. I put them under the water, It was worse than the acid itself. It burned a hundred times more. Moments later burning subsided considerably. But the pain didn't go away.
''What was that thing?'' I ask Ishma as I continue on dipping my hands into the water.
''I don't know, It's my first time seeing one.''
Minutes later I pull up my hand, the parts where the skin had contacted the acid had turned dark blue/black. I simply touched it, it was a bad idea, it hurts, so much. I close my eyes as I shout a couple of profanities. But once I open them, a lot of black skin came out, seconds later I can see my skin regenerating.
I can hear Ishma at the back of my head, asking the same question: ''How is it possible?''
I look at my hands again and it's like it never happened.
I was relieved but at the same time questioning my whole being.
The skin regenerates faster than a normal human, and what happened now never happened before.
And my eyes were never like this cat like one, sharp. And I never colored my hair but looking at it now, from the tips it's silver, it's like my hair is slowly turning into a silver colored one.
Why are these changes happening now?
Like I told you before, Nad. I too don't have any idea why these changes started.
Ever since we came into this world, a lot of things happened.
Well in this world is where you killed someone for the first time. And in this world, you get to watch your classmate kill each ot-
Okay, enough. I don't need to remember those sh-t faces.
But you just acknowledge that Ja-
Ishma! Can you shut up!
And with that, she finally shut up - I thought wrong.
As we continue on our journey, she keeps on flipping me off. I swear if she's physically right beside me, I would sew her lips together so she could stop annoying me.
To be continued.
