A Journey Into The Unknown - Angel (ebook reader 8 inch .txt) 📗

knocked my head off when I opened the door,after gagging for a moment I proceeded inside.

As soon as I walked through the front door I tripped and fell face first into a pile of dead bodies, that explained the smell. Being so close all I noticed was that the bodies wore bite marks, but the flesh hadn't been torn away. And they were very pale as if all the blood had been drained from them. I became a little concerned about what might show up so I grabbed a handful of candy from a shelf and ran out of the store. I ran to the corner of the store and cut down beside it following along the wall.I hesitated for a second when the wall ended but thinking of what this place held within I kept going.

Here I was again alone in this haze wandering aimlessly. Clueless of what I may encounter,or where I was goingor what I would do when I got there. I was almost certain that there was no happiness ahead, not after I had lost so much.

What seemed like several hours had passed and I knew I had to sleep sooner or later. All I could do was keep walking and hope to come across a safe place to sleep. Just keep walking that's all I can do. Keep alert who knows what's lurking about.So far I've seen zombies, fairies, dragons, what's next vampires? Maybe I'll wake up from this nightmare soon and head straight for the psych ward. Even dreaming this can't be normal.

Seeing how I wasn't going to wake anytime soon I pushed on through the dense haze. I was grateful that I had experience some bad things in my life so I hadn't had a meltdown yet. I was taking it all in stride, handling things very well considering. I finally came upon another building.The signs had all been destroyed so I wasn't sure what kind of business resided here.I was standing in front of another building terrified to go in after what I had found in the last one. I walked over to the door but couldn't see anything inside it was so dark. I took a deep breath and pulled the door open I couldn't just pass it by I was too tired and I didn't know when I'd come across another place. I let my eyes wander acroos the floor before I stepped inside the last thing I wanted to do was fall on anther pile of bodies. Once I was certain the floor was clear I proceeded inside.

As I walked further into the building the darker it got and I started kicking myself for not searching for a flashlight while I was at the grocery store, but I was in a hurry to get away from that place. I didn't go into the pitch blackness instead I sat down where the light just faded.I couldn't be seen, but I could see where the light touched. This fog was crazy nothing got any brighter or darker it just stayed the same all the time. It made no sense at all but neither had anything else I had encountered.

Confident that I was safe for now I let myself drift off. It was never a peaceful sleep for fear of what may find me. I never slept very long. when I woke I didn't rush to leave instead I decided to sit here for a while. It felt nice not having to look over my shoulder for the moment.For half a second I thought that maybe I should have let the zombies kill me when this mess started but was thankful to still be alive. Enjoying my momentarily safe place I let myself sit there and relax. What seemed like several hours had passed and I decided I had been there way too long and it was time to get moving. I took my sweet time going back to the entrance,grabbed the door, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. I walked out into the fog and started making my way down the side of the building. I decided after the last one that it was best to follow along the wall to ensure that I didn't get turned around and wind up at the same building. I wanted to keep moving foward. When I reached the end of the wall I wandered aimlessly into the unknown again. I walked until I could barely drag my feet. I didn't want to stop,I hadn't come across any houses or buildings lately. I'd settle for a barn but hadn't found any of those either. Barely moving refusing to stop I finally collapsed.
Him

I opened my eyes and the smell of food,real food flooded my nose. I almost thought that I had finally woke from the nightmare, but after taking a look around I hadn't. I thought I was alone until I moved, suddenly someone was standing beside the bed. Wait I'm in a bed, how did I get here? Anyways there is someone here with me,I'm not alone! I carefully looked toward them to see a man standing there looking at me with a peculiar look on his face. Holding a bowl with something hot in it and it smells really good, lord knows I haven't had much luck in the food department. And again it hit me I'm not alone, the idea thrilled me so much I could hardly contain myself. He held the bowl out to me so I reached up and took it. When I took the bowl from him he turned and walked to the other side of the room. Almost as if he was putting as much space as the room would allow between us. I pushed all suspicion from my mind and started scarfing down the food. It was really hot but I didn't care I was starving, I couldn't remember when the last time I ate was. Upon putting the last spoonful in my mouth I found myself to be very full and sleepy. To tired to care about anything else I sat the bowl on the floor and laid my head on the pillow, before I knew it I was out again. Memories or dreams swirled through my head as I slept. I wasn't sure how long I slept. but I was happy to find myself in the same place when I woke. I looked around to see the same man from before still standing on the far side of the room like he hadn't moved still looking at me the same way.

After taking a moment to gather myself I finally said,"Thank you.". He didn't speak, he just nodded. Realizing that he wasn't going to say anything I decided to try again and asked ,"Where am i?". This time he spoke, but it was so harsh," Why are you wandering around out there, Don't you know it's dangerous?". I felt the sting of tears trying to come forth but I pushed them back, " I was trying to find my way out of this fog.". Surprisingly he let out a chuckle. That made my blood boil after what I had seen I found nothing humorous about this situation. Scared to upset him I didn't say anything I just kept my mouth shut.

I sat on the bed and contemplated my next move. I wasn't ready to venture out alone again, not just yet. But I wasn't sure what to expect from this stranger either.For all I knew he was planning to kill me, even though he seemed harmless enough at the moment.I guess about a half hour or so of silence had passed before it started eating at me,"Why did u bring me here?". Just to make my blood boil again he laughed,"Should I have left you out there with the other creatures?". "I guess not.",I muttered in defeat. I thought about what was said and the peculiar look he kept giving me and decided that it would be best for me to be on my way. I started pulling myself up to my feet when he placed a hand on my shoulder and pushed me back down on the bed,"It's not safe out there, I'll move you later.". That caught me by surprise and a giggle slipped out, " I don't think it has been safe since this fog rolled in.".He laughed with me and agreed, since the mood had been lightened I thought it would be a good time to ask my questions again he may just answer now. "How did you find me?", "Nevermind the how, just be thankful I found you before the others.","They have been tracking you since you found their dumpsite.". As what he said sank in my forehead creased and to shock me even more he was suddenly knelt beside the bed smoothing the crease with his thumb,"Don't worry I hid you well, they won't find you here.". "What did you mean that you'd move me later?", I continued with the questions thankful that he was making an effort to answer them. "Well for obvious reasons we can't stay here permanently, so I figured I'd move you while everything is resting.", I could tell that he had chosen his words carefully. Satisfied to have gotten any answers at all I let the questioning drop off there. He had gooten another bowl of food and was holding it out for me to take anyways,"You should eat and rest we have a long journey ahead of us.". I didn't argue I ate and laid my head back down for a nap.

I was waken by a gentle shake a while later. I had barely wiped the sleep from my eyes when he spoke,"It's time to move now.". I almost asked where we were going, but he had a look on his face as if he were very pleased with himself. For some reason it made me feel very comfortable about going with him. I pulled myself together and stood beside him. I followed as he led the way leaving my safe house behind. He led me into the fog and after all I had experienced I was waiting for him to vanish into the haze.

Trusting

To my surprise he held out his hand for me took take and led the way. I
