Stiffness ringed his throat, making it hard to swallow as he stared face to face with the creature that spoke to him; despite the absence of a mouth. Whether this was real or not did little to stop the feeling of fear that resonated deep inside his chest. Just the gaze of this mimic sent shivers through his bones. The air between the two felt lifeless, cold, and tense. Though the beast had saved him from a relentless beating, no compassion for his well-being resonated from this monster. It hopped down, trotting towards a gaggle of bushes to their left. Not once did its wide red eyes leave him, right up to the moment it sat down; waiting for the befuddled soul to follow. So many thoughts begged to surface within his mind, but he was drawing blanks. Stunned into silence, all he could do was take in the world around him. Cicadas sang their nightly lullaby hidden within the confines of the woodland that stretched from all sides of the lake bed before them. Its waters sat still, unmoving. Raising himself from the muck, instincts took over as he shuffled over to the headless corpse just a few feet away. Gnats and flies had already begun circling the torn and rotting corpse that reeked of iron and death. Such a sight made his jaw clench in nausea as he quickly searched through the stranger's pockets. Hoping for something to protect himself with.
Aha! At last he felt the metal handle of a pocket knife, and a quality one at that. Flicking it to make sure it was still in use, he continued to quickly scavenge the man's jacket to find a wallet and a pair of keys. Not much money was found in the fold, a few bucks and a credit. An expired driver's license, conjoined with various other IDs stashed away. Though one in particular stood out to him. Sliding it from the deck, the face was none other than his own. Puffy bags around his eye, and a half cracked yet annoyed smile for the camera. It felt like this had been taken so long ago, when he had just graduated highschool. His face wasn't quite as emaciated then as it was now. Straight into the workforce he went after that. And while he couldn't recall most of it he knew a lot of his income from that time was money under the table. Did it ever really change?
His eyes continued to gloss over the piece of plastic. Eden Beckett, that's me right? Yeah… yeah that was his name. Next to it, his address looked like it had been gashed out. Turning it over he found another address scribbled in ink: 121 Hemmings Park. He studied the writing closely, it vaguely resembled his own but messier; chicken scratch. Perhaps this was a friend's address? Or a job offer? He did have a tendency to forget things, so whatever could be used as a note nearby was free game in a hurry. But not his license… Uneasiness stirred about in Eden’s gut, what was this neckbeard doing with it then? Wind drifted from across the reservoir, and tugged him from his thoughts. The bramble rustled, and from the thorny branches he saw the ominous companion's crooked tail disappear into the darkness. Slowly his near death experience came flooding back to him, the blank room… the coldness… and that thing. Definitely wasn't a dog. Eden looked at his skin which was strangely gray and dull, running his fingers over the odd black stitches that circled his arm and legs.
Rubbing his neck nervously he found there was stitching there as well. Like he had been torn apart and put back together again. What was capable of such a thing? Wasn't particularly something he wanted to put a lot of thought towards at the moment. Stumbling forward towards the bramble, it was a wonder how he didn't feel the ice cold ground sink below his toes with each step he took. Nor the twigs that snapped as he forced his way through, trying to follow the sound of the mysterious mutt marching ahead of him effortlessly. As the land inclined, he was forced to dig his nails into the dirt and climb upward. Pushing past the undergrowth towards the top. Finally he saw the steel railing of the street, and grabbed onto the lower bar to yank himself up. Grunting in frustration along the way.
Emerging, he was covered with all sorts of shit from his crawl through the brush.
No telling if the micro tears on his ragged tank top was from the branches or the bashing. Ahead he saw the canine on their hind legs, peering into one of the two abandoned cars that had been parked in a hast on the roadside. Empty; they probably belonged to that group of backward hicks. Checking, he was relieved he still had that pair of keys and it hadn't dropped somewhere on that hillside. It had to be one of these cars…
Shoving it into the closet locked car near him, he tried wearly to turn it a few times. But atlas, it wouldn't budge. On to the next, a little beat up suburban. A long time ago it was probably a vibrant shade of red, now sun bleached with peeling paint accompanied by dents and dings gathered over a lifetime. The driver's side was parked by the railing, perhaps the driver just jumped out and over. Once more, he shoved the key into the lock. Rewarded this time with a click, open! But thoughts of his predicament haunted his mind, spiraling about in his head as he stood still in hesitation. Did that mean whoever was standing there before? The silhouette that lingered over head of him; as he struggled to find his footing by the lakeside came to mind. A scout... They were driving around, looking for him. Had he been chased here? Down into the lake?
“Phew boy! You fellas back already? Didn't take you long!” A loud yodeling voice tore him from his thoughts, and instinctively he crouched down below the door. Keys still dangling from the lock. Shit! Twigs snapped as the man emerged from the woods from the far side of the car, though he was shielded from view at this angle. “What did this dude do to piss West off anyway? I mean guy was-" He cut himself short, must have noticed no one was actually there. An unearthly growl sent a shiver up Eden's spine, and to his right by the bumper there he spotted the devilish hound. Baring its wicked fangs and inching closer to who he could only guess was this unexpected visitor. The click of a pistol made his stomach drop as the crunch of worn cement twisted under a pair of boots that creeped closer towards the two. Not good. “Hey stupid, get outta here befo-" Panicked hisses when unheard as the canine shot forward, followed by two gunshots. He covered his ears in surprise, cursing under his breath as his shaky fingers tried to grab hold of the car door handle. Tearing at it, desperate to get inside. Beyond the vehicle, he could hear the two fighting it out. But he wasn't about to wait up to face the winner, and quickly jerked open the door and clambered inside. Once in the driver's seat he saw the two writhing violently, mud and dirt scattering on the passenger window as they did so.
What the fuck, seriously what the fuck! Over and over he nervously muttered through gritted teeth as he jittered his hand outside the door, fearfully trying to tear the keys from the lock. Eden wasted no time once he got a grip on them, ripping them out and clanking them about until finally they found the ignition. To his right, he could hear the muffled moans of desperation from a dying man. Don't look, just don't. And then silence. Not a snap, nor a meaty rip of flesh. Just silence. He sternly and regretfully turned to the right, and rolled the window down to see past the grime plastered against the glass. Against the gray pavement, there was a trail of blood smeared. Leading to the bushes past the street, and not a soul in sight.
The shadowed mutt then dashed out of the woodland's cover, and promptly hopped through the window into the passenger seat effortlessly. Eden recoiled back against the driver's door. Eyes wide with fright, staring into the callus pupils of the beast. A loud thud caused him to flinch. In the cupholder between the two, dropped a bloody pistol. Covered in crimson and fresh. “Jesus fuck.." Breathlessly, he snatched it up, thumbling to make sure the safety was on. "Don't just drop a loaded gun like that, could have blown my head off!” Narrow red eyes leered back at him. “Your flesh would have merely been put back together mortal. Death is nothing new to you.” As if this was common knowledge. Yet he wasn't entirely convinced it was a lie either. Just put back together again then huh? Like he was just some puppet to be broken and slapped back into existence by some cursed force beyond his comprehension. None of this still seemed real to him, Eden was half convinced he was still dead. And all this was his brain going haywire before it came to a close.
He studied the creature's face for any hint of life, of emotion, of something there that could reassure him that he was not in fact crazy. But there was nothing. A defeated chuckle escaped him as he deflated into the seat, tilting his head back to look at the ragged ceiling of the car. A bothersome pressure had built up behind his eyes, his head throbbed. “This isn't real." He groaned to no one in particular. The voice that escaped him sounded so strained, so depleted of energy. “Hm? You think so?" Amusement rang in the monster's tone. Glad this freak thought it was funny. “Why do you still hide in the metal beast? It would be wise to escape this area before any more unexpected visitors show."
What an irritating voice. He didn't bother to hide the disdain, “Working on it." He grunted as he put the car into drive. The faster they could leave this horrid place, the better. Tires screeched as he sped off down the road, leaving the massacre behind them. The movement of the car didn't even seem to phase the hound as it simply moved to the back seat, laying itself down just in eyeshot of the rearview mirror. As soon as he could ditch this thing… “Separating yourself from me will only bring about a second painful death." His hands tightened on the wheel in shock. A cold sweat started on the nap of his neck, “Heh, and how do I know you're not lying?" This was a first for him, being read first before he had a chance to evaluate someone. Something.
"How indeed?" The streetlights ahead illuminated the road in a warm orange shade, showing its age. His hands, though firm on the peeling leather wheel, were numb. A sort of daze seemed to drape over him as he mindlessly sped forward, taking care to slow down between sharp curbs. His eyes kept darting back and forth between the street, and the dog in the back. Now laying its head down as if it was resting, paying him no mind. “So what am I supposed to call you, huh?” Eden spat, finger rapping anxiously.
“Titles are a human concept. I have no need for such things, but if you must… call me Xil."
Xil? Sounded kind of medieval to him. "Alright Xil… What do you want?" The mutt picked its head up once more to look at him through the rearview. “Do you not recall our deal?" Everytime it spoke there was this uncanniness carried within, it curled his gut. “Care to refresh my memory?" Eden had a tendency to be sarcastic and more mouthy than normal when he found himself in stressful situations. A habit that brought him nothing but trouble. “We track down the one whom is responsible for your death, and in exchange for their life I will return your own.” For a moment, he considered the morality of all this. To take a life... Why shouldn't I? After all, whoever had sent those men after him were obviously to blame for the pain he had suffered under the cruel cold weight of the lakebed. And frankly, he wasn't ready to throw in the towel. But where was he to start? Hell, he couldn't even recall the events leading up to that awful memory.
Up ahead he spotted a gas station, the inside dark. Only lit up by the single overhead light, shining from the doorway. No houses stood around it, only wide open fields covered in twilight. Good. An empty space to catch his breath. Xil was still studying him from the backseat, their eyes burning into the back of his skull. “Well…” He trailed off, pulling the car into the lot. “That is going to be kind of hard. Considering I'm not even sure who is responsible." Once the car was in park and the engine was off, he delved into his still damp shorts pocket for the wallet. Shuffling through the collection of IDs yet again until he finally landed on his own, flipping it to the back where the address had been scribbled. 121 Hemmings Park. Perhaps this wasn't just some hastily copied down building. It could hold some sort of idea as to why these hillbillies had beef with him in the first place, more importantly; who West was. That poor fool who emerged from the woods at a rather unfortunate time mentioned that name. That could be who gave them orders, and who Eden needed to track down.
Only one other problem, where on god's green earth was Hemmings Park? This car held no GPS, he had no phone nor a map to go off of. If he could even read it properly that is. Hopeful, he shoved the wallet back into his pocket and began rummaging through the vehicle for anything and everything helpful. All the while, Xil’s gaze bore deep into his cold skin. Opening the gloves department, a sense of elation washed over him as he spotted shoved towards the back, a smart phone. Snatching it, he clicked the power button to find it was completely dead. Fuck. Scowling, his attention turned towards the gas station. There might be a charger in there, but how to get in…
“How convenient." He almost jumped at the uncanny voice of Xil, lifting a purple and blue jacket that had been tossed towards the back to reveal a worn old metal bat underneath. Perfect. Hesitantly, Eden reached over the seat to grab both, and exited. Not waiting for the mimic in the slightest, but accompanied by the beast whom followed close behind nonetheless. Zipping up the hoodie, he tightened his grip on the weapon. Willing himself the strength for one good swing. As soon as the glass was shattered and the alarm came on, there was only a limited amount of time they had before escaping further down the road to avoid any unwanted attention.
With one forceful pop of his bat, the glass door broke apart on impact. What a surprisingly… strong swing? He took a look at his hands, rough and scrawny wrapped around the handle. “We share partial strength mortal, how else would you be able to hunt down those who seek to do you harm?" So, this was their power. How unnerving, unearthly. A sly smirk managed to escape his lips. How useful. “Would have been nice to know back at the lakebed." He muttered, stepping over the glass strewn across the floor. A bell rang out from above as he quickly started looking around for a charger and anything else of use. There, smack dab in the front of the register! He grabbed a handful, never sure about these things. A few lighters from the counter top, a swiss knife, any auto or medical supplies he could spot in a hurry within his grasp; and back out the screeching building he fled. Dumping all that was in his hands in the passenger seat as he practically flung himself into the driver side. The motor of the suburban purred, despite its outward appearance its parts sounded in superb condition. Figures, most rednecks he knew doubled as car junkies. Kicking up gravel as he quickly exited the parking lot, it came as no surprise to see Xil once more in the backseat. Staring at him from the rearview mirror. I really am stuck with you.
death, gore and violence described in this chapter
Peace never seemed to last long for him. Most of his life could be described as brief windows of happiness, only to be followed by yet another fuckin' problem. Whatever. That's how life went right? Yeah, as long as you weren't alone it was fine. Wait, was he alone? Picking away at his own memories like an ant to a crumb. No, he wasn't alone. Who could it be? His mother? No, she was too busy looking down the end of the vodka bottle to give a damn about anyone outside of her own existence. Dad? Hell no…. He hardly knew him, no it was someone else. Who? The question itched at his mind like scab begging to be ripped at. Who had he forgotten?
Suddenly he was jerked back to reality, cold water twisted itself around him like a python. Rushing into his mouth and nose. He could feel the sting of it in his bones, his lungs flooded. Any air within them was pushed out, into bubbles that floated to the world above him. Desperately he screamed out for help, but his voice didn’t make a sound. No one could hear him. Shock trembled through his limbs, slack and weak. Nothing was clear anymore, not even the moonlight. Please help me.. Who was it that he expected to come? Legs now stiffened, it was done. He could fight no more. His flailing arms stopped, no more strength in them. Nothing left lay behind his panicked eyes, still wide with grief. Sinking, ever so farther into the lake.
He didn't expect he would ever open his eyes again. But when he did, the watery grave that imprisoned him was gone. Where he was now…. Where exactly was he now? Sitting somewhere empty, a room. The walls and floor were white, clean and lifeless. It was so cold, but he didn’t shiver. Perhaps he was already cold to begin with. Despite being freed, he still felt empty. Devoid of any energy or willpower. Arms dangled down, resting on his legs. Like a doll with no puppeteer. Jaw slacked open wide, though he breathed no air. His eyes rested on the floor below him, blankly. If not for the figure that stood before him, he might have stayed that way until the end of time. A dog, with black fur. No, that wasn’t fur. It was just skin, which caused an uneasiness to stir in his stomach. Almost like when you look at something that by all means looks real, but something about it is still off. Whatever it was troubled you, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it. Some vague yet menacing detail that escaped you gave it all away. Nothing but a mimic, a trick of the eyes.
This dog, no, this thing. Its shape was quite similar to that of a dog, true. But it had no details on its face. No snout, just a pointed muzzle. Sharp ears with no inside. Despite the lack of pupils, he could still feel its threatening gaze fixed on him. Though he could not feel his heart beat, dread draped over him and crawled along his skin. Fingers twitched with anticipation, every cell in his body crying out for him to flee. Afraid, like that of a mouse spotted by a hawk.
“What brought you here?”
While this creature's mouth didn’t move, he knew it was the one that spoke. As he contemplated his answer, his urge to escape died away. The real question was who had brought him here? Had he really found his way to this strange place alone? Maybe this place wasn’t even real. Let's see, there was the lake… but what about before? He hadn't the faintest idea. Within his chest, a spark of aggression flashed. Fight. Yes, he fought back against that sorry excuse of a human being. His hand gently hovered over his jawline, it ached where he had been punched.
“I think somebody murdered me.” Finally, the words rolled out of his mouth. Everything was still fuzzy, but he remembered now. This person, who he couldn't recall. Yes, they were responsible! Just the thought of it spurred a fury in his chest.
“Was it fair?”
Ripping his life away, what justified this asshole to do so? That awful feeling of being smothered below the reservoir, all caused by them. They did this, they were to blame. “No…” His voice strained with resentment. The creature that stood before him had drawn closer, lowering its head. Studying him. “What are you going to do about it?” This question felt more like a reminder of his helplessness, rather than genuine curiosity. Like this thing was mocking him. At a loss, he scoffed, "Nothing, I lost. I'm useless now."
“What if you could?”
The mimic now had his full undivided attention. “I would make them hurt like I did.” Maybe even worse... He was numb to the feeling of his lip curling, teeth clenched and fists tightened into a ball. Just the thought of it burned his pride. Ate away at him, greedily gnawing at what little there was. “Would it bring you peace?” Fuck peace, he didn't want peace. There was no morality in murder. No, he wanted revenge. He was stolen from, what was his was torn away without mercy and it would forever be gone. There was no 'right' here. There was just some asshole who took everything from him, and got away with it.
"I don't want to die."
This is what he wanted. Rid the world of those who were responsible, and take back what was his. He wanted it back.
An eerie growl of satisfaction echoed off the walls, as the mimic finally revealed its fangs. And a twisted smile split across its face. "So it is a deal then? We seek out this vile wretch, and in exchange you give me their flesh and soul in exchange for your new life?" Gratification flourished through his veins, a passion that brought feeling to their empty soul. A reason to continue. It felt euphoric, forcing a chuckle from his lips. What a wonderful dream! The power to take back what was his. "Who the hell wouldn't say yes to an offer like that?"
As he uttered those last words, everything went dark. Once again, he was at rest. No fear, no delight, and no pain… He finally was able to disappear. But this didn't last long. Nothing nice for him ever does. Gradually those earthly sensations made their way back to him. He felt his throat close once more, the air squeezed from his insides. And that horrid panic ignited in his chest once more. The fight for survival swarmed his thoughts and composed his movements. Through blurred vision he started to make out a light above. Clawing for the surface, he screamed and flailed desperately trying to race towards it. Ringing had begun to infect his ears, and stifled the noises around him even as he broke free to the world above. Freezing night air hit his skin, and various curses spewed from his mouth in shock. Struggling just to keep his breath, he kept his head afloat the best he could. Lake water still lapped at his brow as he blindly swam forward. This god awful ringing in his ears refused to let up.
Just keep fighting, eventually he had to reach land. And soon enough; his feet though numb from their endeavors, scraped against rock and sand. Finally! Using the last of his strength, he crawled through the dirt. Enervated, it was all that he could do to lean forward as water rose in his throat. Burning as all that suppressed his insides came gushing out forcefully. Finished, he flopped over onto the ground, and tried to catch his breath. Time passed, he wasn't sure how long. But the ringing had finally stopped, and was replaced by the gentle hum or the crickets. He lay there by the lakebed, staring up at the sky above. What happened?
Nothing seemed real to him. Not the chill that clung to his hands and knees, nor the stars as they glimmered like tiny pieces of glass scattered across the night sky. That dream from before, there was a dog. They talked, talked about such bittersweet ideas like vengeance and life. Was that a near death experience? His brain just giving him the satisfaction he craved before it all came to a stop? But then… What woke him? At the bottom of the lake, by all means he should be dead. So why wasn't he? It just seemed so absurd he simply couldn't believe it. Nearby, twigs cracked from the weight of a foot. Jolting from his spot, he twisted his neck upward to see the silhouette of a stranger looking at him from some railing above on the hilltop behind. The atmosphere was unnervingly quiet as they stared, trying to make out the face of the other. From their figure, he guessed it was a man. Broad shouldered. But he could only see so well from down here. Tree branches rustled, leafs breaking away with the breeze. Raining across the grimy wet mud he gripped at, slowly moving himself further on land. “Hey.” Words came weakly, and steady came the strength to hoist himself to his knees.
“You… There…”
Then shakily to his legs, using a nearby log for support. The world seemed to sway and he wobbled forward like a drunk to the steep incline before him. “Call. Call someone. Please. I think I.. I might need a…” Their visitor abruptly turned around, gazing at something behind them as if startled. “A… Hey. Can you hear…” Between coughs, and groans of pain he tried to regain the man’s attention. But he could see the interloper backing away from the railing. “Listen to me… What are-” One wrong step sent him falling face first into the soil. Spitting grains of earth from his tongue, agitated and exhausted he wiped the muck from his eyes. “God damnit… Just give me a chance to…” Trailing off, he heard the fleeing of footsteps on concrete pavement. Haphazardly reclaiming his footing, he was just in time to see the interloper taking their leave. No! No, no wait! Waving his hand about as one last resort to be seen, he watched as the figure vanished. Are you fucking serious? Defeated, he sank back down to his knees. What now? Perhaps it was better to wait here and rest, get the stability to climb up. Just as he leaned back, white lights shined up above. And with it, muffled voices. A group of folks from the sounds of it. Could it be, had that guy returned with help? Relief washed over him as a flashlight illuminated the environment below. Thank god! Scrambling down, he could just barely see them heaving themselves over the railing and through the bushes towards him. Holding his hand to shield the light from his clouded vision, once more he yanked himself from the ground. The voices drew closer now, garbled and alarmed. Thank god… He could almost cry. As the blinding light was waved away, he unshielded his eyes only to be greeted by a fist. Within seconds, he was back down on the ground. The taste of mud was replaced with blood, his head bounced as he fell backwards. Stunned he laid there, dumbfounded. What just happened? The collar of his soaked and filthy tank was lurched back up, facing a rather ugly shit of a human being. Nose and teeth crooked, a ting of yellow stained them as the man shouted insults that went unheard. His face peach and sunburnt, scarring decorated his rough leathery skin. The ringing from before had come back, and drowned out the group of thugs that surrounded him. A revolting stench came from his attacker’s breath, nauseating him. Tossed to the side, he collided with a rotted log and before he knew it a flurry of stomps came from every direction.
What did he do to deserve this? Trying to block his face as they aimed for his limbs and torso, one individual swiftly landing a blow to his head and gut. One right after the other, they pelted him with their boots. And then it all came to a halt. Was he dead? No, all over his body throbbed in agony. But he was still alive. But how? Trembling, through his garbled hearing came petrified howls and wails. People dashing about in the shrubbery. Peeking under his elbow, he saw as the men scurried about. Running from something vicious. Beastly snarls followed the cries of distress. Lowering his arms, he sat upright and watched as the men threw themselves into the lake to escape. But were suddenly dragged under by some unseen force. And crimson levitated to the surface where they had been seconds ago. It was an uncanny sight, seeing them one by one disappear under the lake’s abyss. He watched as the last one frantically splashed about and hollered for his mother before he too was silenced. A path of gore stained the water, still and calm. For a few minutes, everything stood frozen in place. As if the forest itself was in awe of what had occurred.
Jerked backward, he was lifted nose to nose with yet another brute. Sweat dripped from the man’s forehead, his teeth clenched and his eyes wide with fear. “You think you're funny? Huh? We tried to make it real easy for your scrawny ass, and you're just digging your grave deeper boy! What the fuck is that? Speak up!” The odor of cigarette smoke and gasoline was overwhelming. He wasn’t even sure how to respond, much less had the energy to. What thing? What was he raging on about? Pupils darting about, the man suddenly wrapped his cumbersome arm around his victims throat and started to lug him away. Gripping at the forearm that trapped him in a headlock, the weakened man feebly tried to break loose. But to no avail. This roughneck huffed as he feverishly ducked them both behind a nearby patch of underwood. “You messed with the wrong family, you know that? The Blackwood family ain’t no yobbo fuckwits, you hear me? Even if I die here, your dead meat!” Hissing into his ear as the hefty man tightened his stranglehold. “You hear me boy, dead-” Snap. The crack of bones and the sickly guishing of muscle being torn. Iron polluted the aroma around them, and warm liquid drenched his back as the grip around his neck loosened. Gasping, he freed himself from his foe’s headlock. Dead weight started to compress upon him, with the last of his strength he wiggled himself out from underneath the heavy body. Strings of blood slithered from his back as he slid out, digging his fingers deep into the mud to tug himself forward. Halfway out, he dared not to look behind him.
Unfortunately, curiosity got the better of him. Biting his lip, he glanced over his shoulder and saw a meaty stump of a neck. Still spurting little sprinkles of blood about. Holding back the urge to puke, he continued to wither his way from under the corpse. Kicking himself off of it as he scooted away, backed against a gaunt dogwood tree. Gawking at it, the lifeless flesh just lay there. Coated in sandy mud and gravel. The otherworldly canine that stood behind it stepped up upon the headless body, planting its paws on top of the man as if it’s stage. And yet again the two stood before each other. “Come... Sunlight is soon, and you look pathetic.”
