2028 Words
As the massive figure showed itself, Dimitri did not waste time and immediately ordered the others to open fire.
Gunfire echoed again in the place, rifles were actually dealing damage to the giant figure, but not much it was only enough to give it multiple wounds.
The creature was covering its head with its arms from the storm of bullets. The guns needed to reload making the barrage of fire stop. The creature who did not move noticed this, so it used this opportunity to retaliate.
Dimitri noticed this so he immediately pushed John along with himself to the other side. The creature suddenly dashed to their direction with incredible speed, good thing Dimitri saw this coming.
An unfortunate guard who was at the rear didn't make he was hit by the speeding creature. Because of the impact of the creature, the unfortunate guard body was almost destroyed in John's eyes it was like a speeding truck hit the body.
Dimitri immediately composed himself and immediately gave his order to the other two who were in shock.
Hearing Dimitri the two immediately composed themselves, but they were very enraged that one of their comrades met a bitter end.
One of them even shouted, " You mother****** I will kill you. "
Dimitri gave his orders, " Open fire and don't stay in one position, and go for the fu**ing eyes.
They started to shoot at the creature again, but this creature noticed where the guns were pointed. He immediately covered his eyes and used his nose to look for his enemies.
F*ck! this thing has brains this is harder than I thought. Shouted Dimitri with an angry voice.
Dimitri looks at John and told him, " Sir this might be the end for the three of us. So, please run away from here while we distract this creature. "
No, I am not leaving you here Dimitri, shouted John.
Dimitri smiled at john and spoke, " You have already saved me and my mother from death sir. I haven't been able to repay you, sir, the jobs you gave were not enough to repay your kindness, sir. I felt that I can not repay you, sir, a boy, and his mother about to die being helped by someone of your status sir is almost a fairy tale to me, even though I am that boy. I have valued your life more than my own sir since that day, so please just this once you have to follow my order."
John was hesitant to do about it, but he saw Dimitri's eyes have the determination to save him.
John stood up and also said his order to Dimitri, " Dimitri I order you to come back alive. "
Dimitri showed a smile and replied, " The cold weather in the streets in Moscow, is harder than this motherf**ker. "
John started to run towards the cave, but the body, of the dead guard, was thrown. This caused John a shock and started to run towards the opposite direction into the forest.
The creature noticed John and started chasing him. But Dimitri fired full auto at the creature angering it.
I'm your enemy here you ugly bastard, I'm gonna kill you as brutally as I can, shouted Dimitri.
The creature roared at Dimitri and charge towards him.
Dimitri dropped his gun and pulled his machete, and charge towards the creature while shouting. " Cyka blyat!"
As John was running he only heard the sound of gunfire and shouting of his bodyguards. John runs as fast as possible leaving the dangerous place.
After five minutes, of running deep into the forest John realizes that he just got himself lost.
Fuck this is the worst, I can't believe I'm going to lose my most trusted man because of my idiocy.
John punched the tree and broked his knuckles, this causes him to scream in pain.
John felt something was looking at him and he looked behind him, it was a huge bear with horns.
John felt fear and started to run again as fast as he can. The bear started to chase after him with incredible speed.
John tripped over by one of the roots of the trees causing him to fell down. But his biggest challenge just caught up to him, John started to run but the bear showed its claws and scratched the back of John.
John's blood was scattered throughout the trees near him, John felt a massive pain that he almost felt paralyzed.
But he tried to stand and run away the bear was not going to let John die easily, the bear wanted to play with its food.
John realizes that he will suffer a painful death. He tried to crawl away from the bear, but his back was stepped on by the bear making it hard to breathe because of the weight.
The bear slowly moved its mouth near John's head and opened his mouth, showing its sharp teeth to John.
The bear was gonna chomp John's head, but the bear was playing with its food, so it has bitten John in his left shoulder instead of his head. John felt the worst pain he ever had, this was the time John wanted to die swiftly.
The bear released his bite from John who was losing so much blood.
John saw his life flash before his eyes, he looked up and saw a hooded man carrying a scythe. John looks at this hooded man and asked, " Death is that you?"
The hooded figure did not answer but stretched his arms towards John and was like offering a hand.
John started to stretch his arms, as his hands, got close to the hooded man he immediately flicks his arm and shouts.
I refuse to die like this you f*ck*ng jobless loser.
John snaps out of his hallucination and sees a sharp stick near his right hands. The bear had enough fun and was ready to chomp John's head off.
John immediately grabbed the stick, as the bear's head comes near John's head. John immediately stabs the bear's eyes with the stick. The bear screamed in agony, John immediately pulls out the stick from the bear.
Because of this, the bear backs away from John a little. John immediately stood up and used the stick to stab the bear at its throat.
The bear roared in agony, seeing this John immediately runs away from the bear but his slower than before as his body was already weak, because of the injuries he got.
As he was running away from the bear John notices that the brushes were getting thicker that you could almost hide in it. But John would rather run away from the bear than the hiding from it.
Not noticing John fell from a cliff which he didn't notice because of the brush blocking his sight.
As John was falling he had thought that this was a better way to die than being slowly eaten by a bear.
John's body finally reached its limit and lost consciousness. John fell into a deep river with a strong current pulling his body.

At a river where a girl was washing vegetables, this girl had blond long hair, blue eyes, and a petite body. She was wearing clothes which showed its age meaning, it was the clothes she wore her entire life.
As this girl was washing vegetables she noticed that something was weird about the water. There were some parts that were some parts that turned red but as time goes by the red color of the water became thicker. The girl immediately stopped washing vegetables and looked for its source.
As she looked for it he noticed something in the water and was in shock to see a body floating.
The girl immediately went near the body, when she inspects the body, she was surprised that the body was still breathing.
She immediately carried the body and put it in her cart. She started to pull the cart by her self to bring the body to her village.

John opened his eyes and noticed an unfamiliar ceiling that is made of wood and some kind of grass. He arranged himself in a sitting position he suddenly, felt a massive pain in his body.
He looked at his self and noticed that his wounds were covered with leaves and bandage.
John then looked at the place and notices that he is sleeping hay covered with a sheet. He finally realized that he escaped death, and he was inside an almost rotting wooden house.
A girl then entered the house carrying a bowl. Oh, you're awake said the girl.
Here I brought you breakfast, you must be hungry sleeping for three days.
John asked the girl, " Where I am, and what is this place?
The girl answered, "You are in Artin village the poorest village in the country of Balmor."
John raised his eyebrows and asked, "Country of Balmor?"
The girl was shocked by his question and presumed that John was a tourist, who got robbed by bandits.
Before you ask any more question you must be hungry so eat up. It is my specialty so make sure to finish it.
As John received the bowl and opened the lid he was shocked to see live bugs, that are still crawling.
The girl was looking at John, this made John uncomfortable to not eat it. The girl sat beside John, as John pulled a bug and was slowly gonna put it in his mouth, a loud sound of someone's stomach echoed.
John was surprised by this and searched for the source of the sound. When he looked at the girl he noticed the girl blushing in embarrassment.
John then asked the girl, " Are you hungry do you want this? "
The girl answered, "No, you must eat it you haven't eaten anything for the past few days."
Well, I can share it with you said John with a smile. The girl finally accepts the food and starts chomping on it. John was surprised that this girl was able to eat moving bugs.
John was also hungry so he had no choice but to eat it. After biting one he immediately says, "hmm, this isn't bad at all."
The girl then spoke, " Thank you I just pick up these bugs near the graveyard."
John stopped chewing for a few seconds and spoke, " I wish I hadn't heard that. "
John tried to stand up but the girl stopped him. John then asked the girl, " Why are you stopping me from standing up."
The girl replied, " Because you are not wearing any clothes and I might see the sword."
When John looks under his blanket he was really naked. This made John embarrassed, even though a lot of girls had already seen his body, especially in bed.
John immediately apologizes to the girl if she might be able to see something vulgar. John immediately asked the girl.
Were you the one who removed my clothes patch up my wounds.
The girl answered, " No, it was my father who treated you. I only carried you here, I saw you almost dying in the river."
So you basically saved me from death, I would look at this as a debt. I promise I will pay you back for saving my life. John said these things while lowering his head to the girl.
John felt someone pat his head, the girl was head patting John. When John looked at the girl she looked beautiful in his eyes, it was like an angel dressed in tattered clothes.
John immediately went to sleep while blushing, the girl was surprised by this.
The girl thought that he offended John, and said sorry.
John spoke, " I should be the who is saying sorry for troubling you and your father."
John then asked the girl for his name.
What is your name?
The girl replied, " Its Jeanne."
Jeanne, it's a beautiful name, I think it truly suits you. Where is your mother if you don't mind.
Well, my mother has died when I was still a little girl answered Jeanne.
John felt sorry for even asking.
