“Who the hell is this woman, anyway?” he growled, flinching as a tiny bird with razor-sharp teeth took a hunk of skin off his face. Followed by another, and then another.
He swatted them away and ran a hand down his face, cursing as he stared down at his fingers that were now heavily stained with blood.
“How much blood loss can a powerless Sentinel sustain before he can’t go any further?” Hunter wondered aloud, angry that he was stuck here. Shit, he was angry all the time. It was a normal state of being for him, but he was even more irate and irritated than his usual pissed-off self.
Kill. Kill. Kill.
The slamming force of being compelled to dust Evils was worse than it had ever been. And he wasn’t sure how long he could ignore it. He became more feral every moment that he wasn’t lopping off the heads of the Evils.
Hunter swayed as he plowed through more foliage, knowing he wasn’t going to last much longer.
There was no way out.
There was no way in.
Was he going to end up stuck here forever?
Kill. Kill. Kill.
The hammering in his head turned to a loud buzz, and he stumbled over a fallen tree, landing on his knees. He could see his own blood starting to cover the ground, falling in rivulets from his broken body.
Gotta keep going. Keep moving, asshole, or you’re toast. You’ll be lost in this never-ending bad horror flick forever.
The thought of staying there, with hairy beasts with lethal teeth pecking at his body, nearly got him on his feet, but not quite. He stumbled again, landing in a mass of gel that he’d fought before and won. Now, he wasn’t sure if he still had enough strength to get out of it this time.
“I’m not going to die this way,” he growled, wondering if he’d really ever die, or just live in this continual nightmare. He was immortal. Or was he human again?
Hunter fought the deathtrap he was mired in, but eventually lost the fight, sinking into darkness as the clear gel turned red from his blood.
