Chapter 2 - Runaway

The door was opened, slowly revealing the true shape of the mysterious shadow figure that has been waiting behind the door.

*squekk..

He quickly altered his glance into that man as he step in menacely

*step.. step.. step.

His physique is an absolute unit. A massive biceps, large visible back muscle along with the man-size lats, thick neck suited up with some traps on left and right sides, super trained chest, enourmous obliques and last but not least.. he's 6ft tall.

All those body features are easily to be noticed as he seems to be wearing a plain white t-shirt half covered with old green long classic coat.

"...."

This man is born with 100% pure testosterone.

*step

His face slowly revealed by the moonlight as he keep walking in, to the point where he finally be fully observeable. It wouldn't be seem so intimidating if he doesn't have a sharp eyes, long-short slight curly hair behind his back and a stubble beard carved on his face.

Bit by bit, he turned down his glance into the boy as he just fell down right into the floor after being struck down by that man's aura. The atmosphere in that door hall dropped into a real dead silence with both of them holding their stares at each other. The main difference between their stares are one showing dominant while other look like a stare of a poor lamb that about to get eaten by a warewolf. The boy trying to spit out some word as his lips starts to quivering.

"You finally awake huh?"

"...."

"6 days"

"h-huh?"

"6 days i spent down there.... not very pleasing to endure" said that man while he took off his hat.

"what do you mean?"

"all u have to do is just pull that switch on"

"...."

"but i guess some people are just slow". Said that man while he proceed to take off his coat and his leather boots.

That man's voice are quite deep as his spoke some words to that boy. That boy was done clueless by that man's words. But slowly he tries to process it.

"Down there? down there u mean the lands?"

"... by what you mean the l-"

"TAKE ME DOWN THERE !!" said that boy spontaneously.

"..."

"TAKE ME DOWN THERE WITH U A-AND THE BROOM YOU JUST USED EARLIER..!!"

"Y ou put me up here RIGHTT?!"NOW PUT ME BACK EXACTLY WHERE YOU FOUND M-!!"

"Low your tone..." said that man while he take a one heavy step directly into that boy.

"!!?..!"

"Low your tone at my place.."

"..."

"You have no idea where the hell i found you

"Or in what state u were..."

"You really that desparate wanted to go back? Sure, lets go down there right now using my broom but let me tell you a fact, if we switch places.. i would rather stab a knife in my neck and bleed here than spend 10 second in there"

"....." the boy turned from rage into completely silent as he just heard what the man said to him.

"Sigh... Listen, i don't blame you for pouring your rage at me.. i know you can't remember anything right after you wake"

"But atleast, u need to hear my words first"

"...."

That boy was frightened by that man's words.

"Grab the bag at the yard after that we'll talk about it"

"And if u wanna go back inside..., don't you ever think aopen it.."

that man commanding the boy to do what he just said as he walk passed him. The man entered the near bathroom inside the house. He took off his leather glove and wash his hands. The water slowly turned from clear into a red and more darker as he keep washing it.

Meanwhile, at the door hall the boy slowly standing. Althought he still shocked from the previous situation but the man's words were moving his body as he walked out from the front door. There, he found the bag the man was referred at the right side of the yard, below the tree.

The bag seems to be large and hella heavy to be carry on. It also radiating an unknown scent. The scent entered his nose which forced him to quickly maintain a distance.

"Gaghh, what is this smell!!"

His intrusive thought telling him to open the bag twist and ignoring the man's warning.

*gulp

"...."

"im just... gonna open it a little and take quick look... this is also for my safety

i wanted to know what kind of man im dealing right now"

He turned his head to checking if the man still in sight. However, no sign of that man's apperance. His hands already trembling when its already close to the twist. He pinched his nose so hard to avoid the smell. Then he carefully open the twist.

" !!!?!!!!?!!..?!"

he covered his mouth spontaneously as he saw what the bag contained. Truly a gruesome scenery have just simply be made by just opening a single twist.

Inside of the bag contains a huge amount of human dead bodies. Men, woman, even a kid. Tons of them lies inside that bag, rotten.. decayed.. their limbs have been torn apart from their body. Even some of them isn't look like a human anymore. Maggots has overtaken their corpse. Their last facial expression before their uninevitable fate are showing how ruthless the way they've been killed.

The boy fell to the ground and vomit into the grass. He can't believe of what he just saw, doubting his own eyes. His head is buzzing aswell with his eyes, He put his palm in his mouth.

"I need to get outta here now !!"

He rushed to snatch the man's broom and goes into the edge of the yard. Quickly he put the broom stick between his crotch, closer and closer he moved his feet where he finally standing on the edge.

His face started to drowned in cold sweats along with his hand as he dare to look down below.

*gulp..

The scene of the sky below his feet are the complete opposite of the above. It was terrifyingly dark, even the white clouds aren't visible anymore. The flashing disturbing images inside the bag flashed in my mind.

"Agh !!"

"I can't end up like them poor people!"

"The important thing is to get out of here and the rest i'll think about it down there..."

He took a deep breath before he finally made his final decision. While closing both of his eyes he jumped into the dark abyss with the broom he stole.

At first, he was doing well with the broom mechanism. However, not long after, he easily lose his balance in mid-air. The broom going up, up and down frequently. The situation became more out of hand as he keep trying to control it. He screams at the top of his lungs while holding the broom tightly.

Suddenly, the broom stopped for a second before falling into the sky with him. He falls tragically at high speed. The broom were separated from him in the air. He tries to reach it by moving his body closer to it but the air velocity impact on him make it harder than it looks.

In a middle of chaos and panic, suddenly he feels something, something in the air that make him recall it. The quick image in his mind showing a simillar experience like what happen right now but the only difference is it was showing a bright looking skies. Is it past? A future? Or it's merely his own halucination before facing his death? He himself can't tell.

He shocked for a couple of second by what his brain just leaked but sort after he snapped back into the reality. However, the broom is already falling a hundred meters below him. Despite the distance, he keep his effort to trying to reach it because its the only thing that can help him get away from this life and death situation.

Out of nowhere, the wind pierced by something that approaching from above him. And right now, its coming fast.

*whooshh...!!

It was the man who just jumped from the house after heard his scream. At a full speed the man's silhoutte passed him. Falling in a technique and heading towards the broom. With that kind of speed, he manage to reach the broom in short time. While still falling down, the man change his position as he put the broom on.

The boy continue to falling but his eyes catch that man's appearance getting bigger and bigger toward him from below.

*Catch!

The boy chocked after being harshly picked up by the man's hand.

"Gah!"

They goes up until landed back safely in the yard. The man let off the boy from his hand while still few centimeters in the air. After a traumatizing experience like that, The boy started to feel the realization that he's almost die. He grab his chest while try to control his heavy breath. Quickly, he lifted his head up and look into the man's eyes. He gives his gratitude for saving his life.

"Im sorry you must seen that, i already gave u warning but u break it" Said that man.

The boy suddenly remember the moment when he open that bag by hearing the man's words. He quickly back off a centimeters from that man. Freaked out by what he was saw, he asking aggresively to him.

"YOU, WHY YOU CARRYING THAT BAG?!"

The boy stared madly at the man's back as the man turned awau from him. He rather stay silence againts the boy's question. While the boy is still waiting for his answer. The man make a move towards the bag and carrying it into the house. Before he entered the door, he asked the boy to get inside with him.

"I have a reason, im not what you think.. If you trust me, i'll give a understandable explanation."

He then entered the house with the heavy bag in his right shoulder, the door was left open widely by him. The boy stood with a tense expression. He can't fully trust that man after the bag incident. But he still find a logical thoughts of why he should give the man a chance. After a couple of seconds, he entered the house nervously.

When he entered the house there are a difference that he knew instantly. All the lights in the house are working. The whole room are filled with warm orange light color. Lamps and chandeliers worked perfectly as it should.

He keep walked in from the door hall while lost in the wonderfulness of the house interiors that have been changed from the first time he was being there. But he quickly pulled back the slightest of enjoyment as his feet reached the area of the living room where there the man sit by. A bottle of beer glass spotted in the man's hand. The man took a sip of the beer, his legs on the table and his hands stuck behind the sofa.

After drinking, the man turned his head and stared at the boy. He asked him to sit down infront of him.

"Sit down, make yourself at home, you've been here for days"

The boy walked into the sofa and sit down, he watch the man took another chugs, the boy's sitting posture was really showing how discomfort he is right now. The boy's braving himself to uttering some words.

"Would you mind explaining what happened to me"

The man stop drinking as he heard the boy's question. He put down his beer and drop it on the table. He took off his legs from the table and his hands from the sofa.

"You don't wanna know the reason those people can fit inside my bag?"

"Tch!..."

As he hearing the man's respond the boy were quickly annoyed by it, He slam the table with his palm.

"....!!!!"

"ALRIGHT, STARTS FROM THAT BAG!!" Said that boy while staring directly at the bag in the corner.

The boy became so aggresively, triggered by the respond he got. He turned the rage switch into the man while the man himself leave without no pressure from the loud shout the boy gives. Its showing by how he just grab the beer from the table and start to drink it again, that way, the boy feel more irritated.

"The things you saw in that bag..."

"Isn't really what your eyes captured"

Said that man in a chilling tone.

The boy slightly confused by the man's words as he just seeing a dozen of human dead bodies inside the man's bag.

"What...? what the hell do you mean, its clearly a dead bodies right!!? a human dead bodies!! How else it could be?!!"

Said the boy's pushing back the man's words againts him. He still believe of what he saw, a bunch of bodies similar like him. A human.

"It is a human bodies"

"... How did you get that?" The boy asked nervously.

"i killed them."

"!!!"

The boy stood up shocked from the man's reply. He took a step back quickly but fall into the sofa. The boy grab the edge of the sofa and put a defensive posture toward the man. Meanwhile, the man still holding his undisturbed tone.

"All those people?!.... You killed them??" The boy shaken while asking that obvious question.

"Indeed.., man, woman, kid, im telling the truth that i killed them with my own hands " Said that man.

"You lier... you lying right?? you just jumped into the sky to save me, you're not the same man that killed those people, old man!!"

The boy respond back to that man's words in pure disbelieve, he can't fully accept that the gruesome scenery he just saw is the man's action.

"I did what i had to do kid, i can save you so i save you, it simple as that."

"No way, no!!.... what's now huh? You.. You gonna kill me? Just like you killed them!?" Said that boy.

The man reply to the boy. As his truthfully words he says what in his mind. There's no scent of lie in his words. Its just a simple truth, truth that the boy struggle to accept.

"Fortunately, i have no intention to do that... "

(Gulp..)

*... he killed them.. he said he killed them all..his face is not showing a single signs of lie.. he's really a killer..!!*

"Listen man., i promise i will forgetting all of this, everything !! just take me back to where you found me!! "Said that boy.

"I can't do that kid, i can drop you a miles before the destination, but the journey u will take is just death awaiting for every step you take

"And yeah, im also haven't explain to you what's exist below us am i?"

"What exist below us? What... is it..." Said the boy curiously.

"Them."

The man said that words while pointing his finger into the bag in the corner, same bag from the yard.

"A bag of human?"

"...." The man choose to silent from the while staring at the boy.

"Them... them...?"

"Yeah.." Said the man while take another sip of his beer

"What? So you're just a maniac that likes to kill people like me? FOR GOD'S SAKE, THERE'S A CHILDRENS DEAD BODIES DECAYING INSIDE YOUR BAG!! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH THING?!"

The man suddenly stand up from his sofa, the boy quickly shut his mouth spontaneously seeing his sudden act. He forgot the man was the one in power in the room. He was planned to just simply negociate with him without creating any conflict. The man without any single word walked passed the boy and heading toward the bag in the corner of the room. He lifted up the bag and open the bag twist.

His right hand deeply entering inside. From the motion, it seems his hand were searching for something as he keep moving it. But the boy knew there's nothing in that bag except a dead bodies. Suddenly he stopped, slowly he pulled his hand off.

"Is this the children u mean?"

A head of a uncanny figure revealed after the man pull it outside. It shape was different from the head of the human he saw before. It skin were pale blue, the eyes were pitch black, and the skull structure were really not human-like. The man grab it by the hair as he staring the boy in his proofness. He dropped the head and start to roaming around inside the bag with his hand once again. He pulled another head one by one.

"Or this one? How about This one? ... This one?? Or perhaps this one? Hey kid, can you desribe to me what children's head looks like"

"What.... w-what's is you holding ...?" Said the boy

"Its them, believe or not its same thing u found inside this bag.., lately they grow an ability to learn how to fly. So.. every 4 days, i fly down there and killed them to prevent them set their feets in here"

The man dropped the bag and throw the head back inside the bag. He lean into the wall while still holding his glass of beer.

"But what i saw is a human" Said the confused boy.

"They are a shapeshifter, their shapeshifting mechanism is so complex as they can replicate any last part of organ that any living being has, even their voices.."

"A shape... shifter?"

"Yeah a shapeshifter, you don't know what shapeshifter is?"

"I... i don't quite familiar with these things.. "

"What do you mean?" Said the man.

"Uh, Where do i begin? Your house is floating, your lamp switchtail are floating aswell, wizard are real... what else? shapeshifters?! And the fact you hunt them?"

"..., you said you lost your memories right?"

"Uhh, yeah.."

"Tell me things you can remember in your past..."

"That's the problem old man, i can't remember any. Not even my name or where i was before"

"...."

The man mysteriously became silent after heard what the boy says, its clearly he seems to be pondering something. The boy seen it in a slight of worry, he try to break the silence with a question.

"Uhhh.. that thing, why they transform into a human body?"

"Transforming into a human body is their cunning ways to trick people..., You wouldn't expect a human kid can killed u before you realized right?

"So they are not originally a human?" Said the boy asking to the man.

"Yeah, naturally.. 3 hour after their death, their bodies will goes back into their true form. That's the reason why im telling you to not open this bag

"At least not until 3 hours has passed by...." Said the man while sipping his beer

"So i can't go down there?"

"This creature is just belong in one of the weakest categorize of all the unspoken things u will found down there, the more far you go the more you shorting your distance between death, experience tells the truth.

"...." The boy silenced by the man's words but not long after he ask an important question to the man.

"Hey old man.."

"Huh...?"

"Can you tell me what kind of place where you found me...?" Said the boy.

"...."

The man stopped drinking and turned his head into the window while looking at the skies, he seems trying to remember something in past that were related to the question. He then starts to speak.

"I found you in my farthest point of my journey..., it was the first time i embrace myself to go throught thousand of miles in a search of a place"

"6 months has passed by, i fly to the north above the deadland.., i planned to go back with nothing but failure, but suddenly something was wrong with my broom, i've been ride it for my whole life but for the first time i cannot able to control it. It was my broom then followed with my compass, i fell down after trying so desperately to maintain the balance"

"I was uncouncious...can't tell how long.. until i finally wake up.."

"I open my eyes slowly, then i look around.."

"Luckly my broom is beside me same as with my compass"

"I grab both of them and when i lifted up my head.., ahh.. i thought i was in a middle of dream.. or.. heaven, and i thought all of my journey i did was just a big dreadful of nightmare"

"Hey kid, you know what i saw..? A beautiful bright garden filled with flowers, plants, bushes, trees that i never saw before.. There's a giant waterfall too, far from the garden!! The water looks so clean and safe. There.. i really thought i was finally found it, the place..."

6 months passed by, i flied to the north above the deadland, i planned to go back with nothing but failure

"But suddenly something was wrong with my broom, i've been ride it for my whole life but for the first time i cannot able control it. It was my broom then followed with my compass, i fell down after trying so hard to maintain it"

"I was uncouncious.. can't tell how long, then i finally wake up.."

"I look around slowly, my head was foggy.. hard for me to examinate where i landed as all i see was nothing but a blur"

"Just took a couple of second for regaining my eyesight, my mind turned back to normal too.."

"Luckly my broom was near me along with my compass"

"I grab both of them and i lifted up my head.. Ah! I thought i was in a middle of dream.. or even better, in heaven"

"And i thought all the journey i did was just a big part of long dreadful nightmare"

"Hey kid, you know what i saw? A beautiful bright garden filled with flowers, plants, bushes, trees.. i nevet seen a green green grass so far like that before, there's a giant waterfall too far from the garden!! The water looks so clean and safe. There.. i really thought i was finally found it, the place"

"I thought i could finally rest.."

"I walked throught that garden. I completely lost in the beautifulness of it and ended up lowing all my guard

"i keep walking endlessly, until i found a boy sleeping peacefully on a grass.. it was you.. i wondered how anyone could be able to sleep like that !! I walked heading toward you impatiently with a big smile carved on my face"

*grabs..

"But suddenly, everything went dark in my point of view ... let me remember.. it was.. it was very disturbingly dark.. very dark, some kind of pitch black, the atmosphere turned down 180°degrees quickly for me.

"Not long after, i sense something was coming, something so evil approaching with a indescribeable intention.. enough to make a grown man like me trembling in fear"

"Everytime it gets closer i keep tasting the bitterness of it's evil"

"With a little guts left on me, i quickly grab you before i made my retreat

" i thought if i leave you laying there it will be the end of you too"

"....."

"That thing... spared me some little of time for letting me go... but the moment when i grab you up, i sense that it gets closer furiously."

"But luckly i managed to escape with you"

"I flying in the highest speed i could reach while carrying you"

"Im sure, i make the right decision to take you"

"How'd you know that.." Said that kid.

"I don't know, just a strong feeling" Said that man while back acting strong.

"You think how long i've been sleeping there?"

"In that garden?"

"Yeah"

"... Few days, maybe.."

"What make you said that?"

"Just a strong feeling"

"Again?"

"Yeah..."

"You are a straight headed person old man"

"Thanks"

"...."

"...Old man, i should come back"

"No"

"Then what should i do now?"

"Stay here"

"What if turns out you was kidnapped me from that place?"

".... That's the other part that i also be worrying about.."

"You think about that too..?" Ask the boy.

"Yeah, but im not quite sure.. it's the best to avoid the risk kid, just stay here.. trust me, avoiding a risk is how i survive in this world, take a notes"

"....."

"... No, take me back old man...right back into that garden.."

"Did you hear what i just said....?!! Listen, i cant do tha-"

"Its not what you can do or what you cannot do right now, its about taking your responsibilites for your action"

"....."

"I will ask for one more time, take me back into that garden, please... bring me here was a wrong decision"

"Yeah? Did you forget something? That thing is still lurking in there.." Said the man

"I didn't forget bout it.... infact, from what i heard from your story, isn't that thing just trying to protect me?

"It saw you as an intruder and it tried to get rid off you away, also.. why it didn't attack me first?? It only mean one thing, i belong in that place"

"the moment when you took your step and approached me and then grabbed me.., you triggered it old man" Said the kid.

"...."

"That thing comes with killing intention, do you mind telling me how i escape from it?"

"... You was carried me in your back right? It chased after us but it didn't attack cause i cover your back while you carrying me.."

"So you're saying if i was didn't carried you in my back, i woulda been killed?"

"Yes, that's my point"

"... So you do have a slight memories of that thing right?"

"Unfortunately i don't, but im really-really sure it just trying to genuinely protect me"

"....."

"So.. old man, what do you say?"

"... I think you will regret this"

"... right now, its better for me to take the risk

"I need an answer.., and it's located right at that place.. not here"

"An answer.. of your lost memories?

"Right, i feel like i left something in that garden"

"Like what? Family? Friends..?"

"Im not sure, that's why i must find out" Said the boy.

"Crap..!!"

The feelings of emphathize and guilt start growing inside that man. He took a chugs of his beer before he finally made his decision.

"....Alright, if that what you want, we start going in the next 3 weeks. You will help me to prepare everything that we need kid..."

"Will do..!"

(Drinking )

"Get your head some sleep first, and go check out your wounds.., it didn't healed fully yet right?"

*I hope i didn't regret this*. Said the man in his mind

"Ah.. my wound, right.. Thanks old man...

Wait i haven't ask this before !! How i get this wound?!"

"When i take you i was in a great hurry, we crashed some of the rocks and a trees.. i was easily tanked it but your body apparently does not.

"I did my best to heal your wounds.. just take a rest and you'll be fine"

Said the man.

"So that's what happen, okay.., im understand.."

"Kid..., I didn't mean to kidnapped you away from that garden..., everything goes so fast, i can't think clearly at that moment.

"You and me are my only main priorities... i just wanted to save you"

"...."

"I understand... no need to think about it old man"

Somehow, the situation became more silent as they can't say anything after to each other. The boy melt the tension while he stopped in the stairs.

"Your house are looking quite wonderful old man" Said the boy

"Mm..? This place? (Chuckles..) Thanks, this place belong to me and.., someone who was very special to me.."

"... dare i ask who, old man?"

"Nah.., just go get some sleep"

"Eh...?Okay.."

*step

"Good night ..."

".... "

Good night too old man.."

*BLASTTTTT !!!

All of a sudden, the wall beside the staircase right behind the boy were completely destroyed. The debris flew everywhere. Smoke of dust emerge from the wall that has turned into a giant hole.

"AGHH- WHAT'S GOING ON!!"

"...." The man quickly stand on his feet, making a stance while trying to identify the presence behind the wall hole.

At the same time, the boy still standing shocked. His left ears

was buzzing, he hold it with his hand while in pain. They both stay quiet, the boy is shaken up after what just happen while the man still rising his guard. Slowly, it finally coming out of the hole. The claw came out first, one by one. Strongly holding the edge of the hole. Sweats coming from both of them as they watching it trying to make an appareance.

In just matter of second, they both feel the change in the air.

The flavor of evil coming directly behind the hole, it hurtly sting and it forced them to close their eyes. But, the moment they open their eyes, it already enter the house.

*This killing sensation... It can't be! Seriously?!*

(Glance )

*Its the thing from that garden !! Sh*t!

*HOW IT TRAVELLED HERE!!?*

By grasp the sensation, the man knew it was the same creature that he encounter at the garden. It traveled hundred of miles by only following the scent of the man's ripped shirt from the garden.

"Ol-ol-old man..??"

"KID..!!! THIS CREATURE IS THE THING FROM THE GARDEN"

*what.. ?!?... this thing..l?!!?*

"GO UPSTAIRS KID, RUN!!"

"WHAT YOU GONNA DO OLD MAN?!"

"im gonna buy you some time, just go now!"

The creature gaze is focusing forward, he looking confused. His eyes twitching twice and he moved his head down left into the man. At the same time, the boy is already upstairs, he rushed to find a safe room among any door he came across. The last door is finally on sight, he enter and closed the door. Meanwhile at the downstairs, the creature still holding his gaze into the small being. His head nearly reach the ceiling. Nobody in that room making the first movement.

The man is prepared while the creature is observing. Every single sweats keep dripping into the dry wooden floor. The room is too silence for this kind of situation. The man's hand is already too stiffy along with his legs. He planned to run but the gaze that the creature give was pressing him and making he froze in place.

"Are you come here to take him?" Said the man.

"....."

The creature was silence and keep looking at him with his soulless black eyes.

"You can take him back, i didn't meant to take him away that day..!! You make a bad entrance there, but that's okay i can fix it"

*Why he's not making a movement?! If he still not for the next second, i will run immediately. At now im sure that boy already found a safe place*

"So? How it gon be huh? Or do you prefer to stay for the dinner before you take him away?"

Suddenly the creature was finally moving, but he doesn't moving directly into that man. Instead, he was moving to up floor. Slow and steady he keep walked, following the same step as the boy earlier. The man doesn't lowering his guard yet, he follows the creature from his back carefully.

*This creature, is he really wanted to take the boy back ? I can't tell !! For now i have to follow where this thing go*

The creature walked throught the hall followed by the man. His intention was still a mysteries for that man, is he good? is he evil? Did he really want to took him back? Those unrevealed mysteries were the reason why the man following him.

The creature stop infront of the door at the end of the hall. He switch down his gaze into the door handle.

*He's hiding here* . Thought the man

The man walked fast to the front of the creature, he showed his sharp glaze before turned his body to open the door handle.

"Kid, this is your pick-up.. come out"

The boy slowly putting down his hands from his stance. With the creature being with them in the same place, the sensation doesn't feel safe yet for both of them. The man feel it the most rather than the boy.

Step by step, he moved his feets out from the room which turns out to be a closet. Both of the man and the boy stares at each other in hidden way.

"You want to take me back?" Said the boy

"....."

Still silence.

"Okay, im coming with you"

As he finally walked out from that closet, for the first time.., the creature was making a movement. It happened in a blitz, when the boy can finally realized, the creature's massive claw already hanging infront of hia face after being stopped by the man's arm. His hairs were blown away. His eyes became round. His body was still. And now, he's just staring like a baby struck by a lightning. The event that just happened was able to show it true purpose in this place. From the beginning, the creature's intention is too kill him.

"BOY, RUN!!!"

*GROWLLL..!!!

Heard the man's scream the boy spontaneously run away throught both of them. His hairs got slightly cutted by the sharpness of the creature's claw. He ran throught the hall while keep looking back. He saw the man still holding the creature's huge arm with his hand. However, he get thrown easily and slammed into the wall. The boy reach the stairs but when he looked back the creature already running to him. He almost get crushed by the arms. The boy heading fast to downfloor with the creature behind him
