Cherreads

Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 : Sacrifice

*Creak* *Thud*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

In a dark jungle full of huge trees and weird shrubs a painful scream could be heard. The jungle had gigantic trees that looked pretty weird. The trees looked as if they possessed sentiment. A huge red full moon hung over the cloudy sky.

A lot of people wearing golden white hoodies holding some source of light could be seen in the forest. They were mummering something amongst themselves. They were trying to find the creature that was the source of the scream.

The creature of the scream was a beautiful fairy. She was a creature of magic. She had 4 wings but 3 of them were brutally torn and golden blood was flowing through them. She had beautiful eyes and a short nose. She was a night fairy and had a black colored skin. She also had shining white hair.

She had a lot of injuries on her body like she had just fought. She was thrown to a huge tree making it creak. She looked like she had no energy left. She suddenly looked down and smiled. She held a beautiful little boy, probably a few months old, covered in a bundle made of special material.

The boy was sleeping peacefully. He also had white hair and a light brown skin. The boy suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. One of his pupils was golden while the other was pure black. He looked at the familiar face and chuckled. He waved his hands at her trying to reach her cheeks.

"My litt- little boy is awake n- now hun?"

The fairy whispered her voice breaking and her eyes moist. She touched his cheeks and pressed them. She smiled at him. The boy sensing something wrong stopped smiling and made some noises as it asking her something.

"Ye- yes, mama is alright? No- nothing is wrong. Shhh..."

She suddenly winced with pain. She then tried to stand up and took some deep breaths. A sond like that of a broken twig sounded beside her and she looked back.

"Capture that bitch. She has gone down the path of darkness. In the name of Goddess."

A voice suddenly screamed and rushed towards her. It was one of the people who were tracking her. The voice attracted his comrades towards her.

She was startled. She started to run but she could only go so far. She was injured and was limping. Suddenly the child in her arms also started crying. She was frustrated. She was exhausted, her powers were unable to work.

"Also kill that child of darkness. The wench. Burn her. In the name of the GO-"

The voice screamed one again. This time before he could finish a shadow rushed past him and only a headless corpse could be seen.

"Wha- what was that?!"

Another voice sounded as he saw his comrades headless body. The blood gushed out of his neck. Suddenly more shrieks came from around him. He looked around and his blood froze.

There were ten more headless corpses just trying to move. The gushing blood created a scenery of scary beauty. The commotion had also attracted the other members who rushed towards their location, but it was too late.

The other members were terrified beyond reasoning. When they reached the scene they could only see a injured fairy playing with a baby. There were 50 dead bodies of their comrades without heads. The blood had turned the ground red. 

Suddenly the moonlight fell from between the trees. The source of light from a few of the people fell. Some backed away. Their eyes full of shock. They saw a creature 3 meter tall. It had skinny hands and long fingers and sharp nails with blood dripping from them. 

The creature had the skulls of their comrades skewered in it's horns.

It's also had two long long sharp branched red horns. It's body was covered in some kind of fur but the most shocking part was that it had no face. It had a face but unlike any normal creature. It looked as it it was a skull. It did not have any eyes, in it's place two crimson dots glowed. The skull looked as if it belonged to a goat?

"A- A- A WENDIGO!!!!"

A person suddenly screamed and fell down. His comrades looked at him but only a headless corpse could be seen now. They were totally terrified they could not even tell when he was killed.

"You people come to MY forest, HURT MY WIFE, try to kill MY CHILD and think I will allow you to do so? AHAHAHAHAHAH"

A maniacal laughter suddenly echoed through the forest.

"DO YOU BELEIVE THAT I A CREATURE OF DARKNESS WOULD ALLOW YOU TO DO AS YOU WISH?" He screamed and suddenly rushed in killing ten more people. The creature laughed once again striking fear in their hearts.

"Stop your torture you creature of the night."

A calm voice suddenly sounded. The wendigo looked towards the voice. It was a elder person. He wore same clothes as the other but he also had a wand in his hand. He raised his wand and spoke in a calm voice.

"By the Goddess. Grand Light Of Purification."

The wendigo suddenly punched the ground beneath him and a veil of darkness appeared around him. A dazzling white light emerged from the wand trying to get inside the veil formed.

"It is of no use you filthy creature. You do not have the power to compete with me. Now perish with your family." The voice spoke with the same calmness.

The wendigo paid no heed to the man. He transformed into a handsome man. He was still tall 2.3 meters tall. He walked towards the fairy. He smiled at her and kissed her. The veil was getting thinner every second. 

He then looked at the little child. A child that did not know what was happening and kept smiling and laughing. The man looked at his wife and cut one of his fingers. A dark drop of glistening black blood appeared on his finger.

His wife seeing his action also cut her finger and a dazzling drop of white blood appeared on her finger. The man nodded at her and dropped the blood drop at the center of his son's chest. The blood started to sizzle and the child started to cry.

His mother quickly dropped the blood on top and the blood intertwined. The blood was absorbed. The child continued to cry. The blood was absorbed by his body but the pain was still there. A birthmark was formed on his chest.

Two black horn like structures guarded a white full moon in between. The birthmark was a memorial of them. The wendigo suddenly mumbled something and the a veil covered the child and he disappeared with the darkness.

 The wendigo then looked at his wife who smiled at him. Cracking sounds of reached their ears. The veil showed cracks as light threatened to get inside. The wendigo once again transformed back. He shouted,

"YOU MAY BE ABLE TO KILL ME BUT YOU WILL ALSO NOT LEAVE ALIVE!" He shouted.

The veil suddenly cracked and he rushed out. The light started to burn him and his wife as black fumes arose but he mercilessly rushed out. He started to kill everyone with brutality. His wife quickly followed.

The husband and wife duo's laughs while the screams of the others echoed throughout the forest scaring anybody in the vicinity of the forest. The bloody massacre continued throughout the night in the cost of their own lives...
