Diamond blue

The secret

I grasp my arm in pain but I try not to touch the wound especially since I’m coverEd in disgusting slime and I would prefer to not have slime in it thank you.  but regardless of my injury I have to see what the creature is it could help me escape or it could kill me with my arm the way it is I can’t weld any weapons. I slowly approach the burnt bear but a bony hand wraps around the bear and with one quick push it pushes the bear out of the way and lunches at me. I stubble back as the thing jumps into me knocking me to the ground. I open my eye and I finally get a good look at it. The creature is a skeleton with white hair and a blue cloak the skeleton open it jaw and breaths heavily on me I struggle to free my self but it over powers me. It lunches it head towards me and chops down on my neck I scream in pain. It bites down harder and punctures my skin like it was bite it into a steak. It tears a chunks out of my neck and swallows the pieces. 

Bleeding from my neck my breathing becomes difficult and painful knowing that I could die I try my best to wriggle from its grasp but I just can’t seem to free my self. “get off me!” I shout to my surprise the skeleton jumps off me. Thinking that I scared it off I approach it carefully trying to get it to back off. But not surprising to me it grabs a blade from the table and slashes at me I dodge as best as I can. I can’t fight with a injured neck and with a bone sticking out of my arm. Oh and I’m unarmed so with little choice I decide to painfully rip my bone from my arm and use it a club at least or maybe a shank. I grip the bone and pull with intense pain I tear it from my arm. The bone at the tip is jagged and broken perfect for a shank so with little choice I swiftly stab the skeleton by swiftly I mean very awkwardly due to the pain at least I landed a blow on it. The jagged bone that I ripped from my arm shatters the skeletons spine preventing it from moving.

Unfortunate even thought I shattered its spine the last of my strength leaves my body as I collapse to the ground from the pain my boneless arm flops onto the ground. Breathing heavily I feel my conscious slipping away from me. Tears flow and my eye slowly slip until they shut for what seems like centuries but unknown to me it was like only two seconds. A deep voice calls out to me “ha ha ha I like your style mortal. That display was magnificent ha ha ha I will grant you your power be grateful” the booming voice laughs. I open my eye and a blurry figure loams over me speaking weird rhymes that I can’t decipher. All in one quick second my arm the boneless one fills up with a weird liquid and solidifies and the cells of my body accelerate closing my wounds leaving me fatigued. “When you awake you won’t remember that any of this happened he he he” the voice laughs.

When my eyes open again I’m back in the hotel with the sun shinning through the windows but to me I feel like I got no sleep at all. then I remember what happened last night so look down at my arm checking to see if the bone was there and luckily it was. “It must have been a dream there’s no way my bone grew back” I think. then a knock on the door spooked me and I fell out of the bed onto the ground. “Alica you ok it’s late we need to leave soon” Throst says from the other side of the door. Ah. Crap i slept in i start to freak out I scurry about gathering my things and quick changing into my outfit after being mostly dressed like I got my shirt, pants and one boot on before I tripped onto the other boot and knocked over the rack on top of me. Throst charges in “Alica you ok?!” Throst shouts. I look at him throw all the junk piled on top of me. “Ah I’m a little stuck” I respond, Throst sighs in relief and helps pull me out of the pile I’m a little embarrassed so I quietly Finnish changing and I grab my back pack. I meet Throst in the hotel lobby and we set out to the spider queens castle.  Travelling is the best there’s always so much to see. On our way we stopped by a beautiful waterfall the drops that escape sparkle in the sky and the beautiful trees, grass and flowers. I pick up a beautiful crimson rose and I smell the wonderful aroma emoting from it. At that moment Throst holds out one of the crimson rose to me but if I look closely theirs a super thin layer of ice keeping it from decaying. “As long as I live this rose will never die” Throst says I take the rose I place in my shirt pocket. Haven’t this rose gives me happiness.

(Throst) red roses are said to mean love so as long as my love is strong that rose will never melt even after I physically die. I will protect her with my life. most don’t believe in love at first sight neither do I but after reading that journal and spending time with her I’ve fallen for her. “Alicia we should get going” I ask but to my surprise alica seem to be spaced out and her face is kind off red I hope she isn’t sick. I decided it’s best to wait it out. When she finally came to sense it was dark she spaced out for about 4 hours during that time I decided to gather food from the wild. I manage to gather up some apples, brown mushrooms and deer meat. I cook them up and dish it out unevenly - I got the least- alica seemed to enjoy the meal but she still space out smiling the entire time and holding the rose I gave her. I not sure what to think but I decide to give her some a lot of things have happened to her and in such a short amount of time it’s probably best to let her rest. Eventually she drift of to sleep and I use my cloak as a blanket and I give it to her. I end up sleeping through  the entire chilling night.
