BRYCE P.O.V

Ahh! My head!
Urgh...
This shit really is painful.

I slowly tried to open my eyes,
Aish....shoot I can't open 'em.
It's too bright...
Nevermind, I'll try again. I tried opening 'em again...and this time I succeeded.

When I opened my eyes I found myself in an unfamiliar place. It looks like a forest area though..
Am I in that Forest? Crap!
I looked at my left and then my right,
I think I really am.

'idiot move your butt out from this forest' My conscience warned me.
Okay...okay..

But first lemme atleast stand up.
I stand on my two and look around.
Dead leaves are lying around everywhere. I took a few steps ahead.

As I walk, my feet shuffling through detritus.
Dark and creepy branches of trees,
Spine-chilling shadows of trees.
There are barely visible black trails snacking through the undergrowth.
Wind whistling around trunks and disturbing the leaves.

The more I walk forward the more I can hear the cracking of dry leaves.
I trailed my fingers on the dark tree trunks.
This feels so amazing.
It's so peaceful here.
One could totally forget about all of their problems.

While I was lost in my own thoughts, I heard loud stomps.
From the sound, I can tell it's not a human being.

Foot stomps were getting louder and louder and footsteps were getting closure and closure.
I was still facing a dark and tall tree.

So, I turned around.
Fuck!
C-Creature! T-TheC-Creature is here.
I-its infront of me. It's right infront of me!
Just meters away.
But I didn't even made any sort of sound!
'You made the leaf cracking sounds' my conscience reminded me.
Aishh... except for that.
'You can't make it exceptional. So, accept it'
Okay...

But what should I do now?
'Don't make any noise. Just stay where you are'
Okay..thanks for the advice.

I just stay where I'm...?
The Creature is sniffing around, well...I can smell something bad too. It walks forward, still sniffing.
Well...atleast something good is happening, he is going far away from me.

But I feel like he's searching for somone.
Did someone died?
Or shout while I fainted?
Why is he searching for something?

He's looking at my direction.
But why?
I stood still. I didn't move, not even a bit, nor made a sound.
Then why he's looking at me?
He opened his mouth which was basically his whole face. I can see it's teeth, they are similar to those of the leatherback sea turtle.

You can basically call that Creature as 'Corpse Flower'He opened his mouth, and made that hiss and roaring sounds

He opened his mouth, and made that hiss and roaring sounds.
This sound is really high-pitched.

I think my ears will burst out.

So, to prevent that from happening, I immediately covered my ears with my whole palm.
But that too didn't block the sound nor did it minimise it.

I can't bear this anymore. I think I'll faint for sure.

Geez! I can't even scream.
That corpse flower didn't lower it's vocal, rather It increased it, and made really loud hissing sounds.

Dad, help me!

I might lose my hearing power, if this continues.
After a good three to two minutes, that Creature stopped hissing and walked further away.

While me,
I removed my hands from my ears and when I bought it infront of my eyes.

Both of my palms were covered in blood.
Like lot of blood.
I started to feel light-headed,
And then the next thing I see is all black.
