The Darkworld Chronicles Chapter 9: The Man In Green

The drums grew closer
And closer

And my heart beat begins to excellerate.

I can hear marching feet behind the drums green clad men begin to come out from behind trees, I cling to onyx as he holds his hand out, trying to protect me as the men in green begin to get closer, and closer, and closer.

Then out of the crowd a man, dressed in a pinstripe green suit jacket, black trousers and a tall black hat. His smile could tear through thin air, his teeth have a sort if sharp gleam that goes hand in hand with his almost mocking smile.

"Hello Onyx, We meet again"

Onyx sneers at him, eyes ablaze and flicks his wrist at the man.

With his usual mocking smile increasing he continues.

"so, what have we here, who is she, your girlfriend?"

Onyx glares at the man again

"Oh, what is that! What a pretty bracelet, I wonder ho-"

Then the man stopped, and slowly lifted his arm, then snapped

"Get her"

Onyx then grabs me by the hand and begins to run, dragging me with him through a gap.

Whoosh
The snow and scenery flash past me
As we run through the tall pine trees
Past the rent complex, now up in flames, marking the sky with a dark smudge.

We run, and we run
The green clad men are fast behind us as we go, losing all sense of direction, just running and running because there's no use in stopping.

And we will run and run and r-

CRACK
SNAP
SNAP
CRACK

the ground underneath us falls through, sending us plummeting down into the darkest dark of all.
