IMP: Terror and Love

Merindinlogun

"Hut to a brun fi ta kor?"

He was already by the boat. He was skeptical about what to do in precise. He was so confused that he felt like he should return to his trunk or at least the top of the tree. Nope! He wouldn't. He should go to village of that creature. Of that lady.

He looked around again. There was no one there. He was sure that the owner of the boat would be around and had gone to get something.

He was confused the more. How about if the lady was the person who had returned to the place, what would he go the village for. Wasn't he going there for her?

He didn't want confusion to have the best of him. He could manage the moment. He jumped into the boat and was confused the more.

It seemed as though he would make confusion a hut where he would stay. Or make a robe of it which he would be draped in. He hated the feeling of confusion.

Back in the underground, he didn't do well with it. Like he had never felt confused. He always had whatever he wanted until an odd was supplanted. Aside that, he had been great.

Even after the odds, he hadn't thought twice. He had hopped on the thought of absconding. And that was what had brought him to earth.

But getting to earth, it seemed to be tougher than what he had envisaged. He didn't want to be an experiment. He should be more than that.

Confusion had started when he had wanted a place to stay. He had been held in sundry thoughts till he chopped them into two.

Even the two, he couldn't choose appropriately. The choice he had made was sleeping on a tree and he did regret it.

When he wanted to eat too, he had been confused. He had thought that the fruit and the snake would be best meal compared to other creatures, but he ended upsetting his stomach after the turns of both.

He was wasting his time. He heard crunching of the leaves from the forest. He wanted to think twas the four legged creatures or the long, thin and curvy creature. But they wouldn't come that far. Would they?

Yup! Some of them had done crazy things. Like those which attacked him few whiles ago.

Then as though a ray hit his gloomy consciousness, it occurred to him. How could he be that forgetful?

Of course twould be the creatures which looked like him. Those who would walk on their two. Or it could even be the lady. The owner of the boat.

He should act quickly. He had no time to waste. He had wasted enough and was feeling already jumpy. He was hoping dearly that he wouldn't mess all the things up. He wouldn't afford doing that of course.

Confusion popped up again. He should steer the boat. He should make it move. He could see two long wood on the sides of the boat at the other end. He didn't know what to do with them.

He heard voices then. Damn! He shouldn't be told anymore. Twas that creature which looked like the lady. Probably the lady had told them about him. Probably they had come there to meet him. He couldn't be so sure.

He hopped off the boat and came to the tip. He began to push it into the the water. He didn't know if what he was doing was right. He couldn't think of anything else. He was more than confused.

He kept on it till he pushed it inside the water and hopped on it.

The boat started to move on the water but in the wrong direction. He fell in the boat. He didn't know how to walk in it while in motion. Not a stabilised motion though.

He tried standing again but he fell. He didn't make an attempt anymore. He decided to crawl towards the two long woods. He would figure out what to do.

He got there. The boat was tilting on both sides, for he was not in the middle, he was by a side of the boat.

He held onto the two woods and stood. Then he saw two of the creatures which looked at him as he turned. They were way better than he was.

The lady he had seen wasn't with them. He wouldn't want to hurt them. He only wanted to talk to them but as they were looking at him, they obviously seemed not to be interested in whatever he had to say. That was pretty demeaning.

They were speaking to him. Like more of shouting. He had no idea what the problem was. Aside the fact that he had stolen their boats, they seemed to be concerned about something else.

One of them was with what looked like the woods he was holding unto. But that one had a pointed mouth and he could see a hole in the mouth.

The fellow pointed it at him. He had no idea what it was. Then he saw the fellow did something to it. Something left the tool the man was holding and made a noise towards the Imp.

He bent down and covered his ear, he hated the sound.

As he stood up, he was surprised to see a thin metal drop inside the water far ahead of him. He guessed that thing would had hit him.

He lost his hold on one of the woods as the boat tilted again owed to the fact that he had covered his ears.

He fell inside the water. His leg wasn't touching the base like it did when he was in the other water where he had seen the lady.

He went deep down inside the water and couldn't breathe. He felt like the water was fighting its way into his nose, ears and everywhere there was a hole in his body.

He should fight it back. He was an Imp. He shouldn't be a coward. He made up his mind.

Then at once, he felt a wave toss him up. Very high that he popped outta the water and went very high that he thought he would touch the mist which he had longed to.

Then he came down again, and as he dropped, he could stand on the water. He was skeptical of what was happening.

He tried walking. He could. Hell he could walk on the water.

He began walking. Then he turned back but twas quite late for him. The fellow had aimed the tool at him again and the metal hit him at the moment.

He felt something ripping off some organs in him and he felt weak, but he didn't drop.

He started running towards the village with all his strength. He was sure that he would get there before he would collapse.

The imp was running on the water.
