The Great War (A Dark Universe)

Chapter 2

Back with John, he is in the middle of the streets walking, trying to reach his parents house that is at the end of the city and he still hasn't forgotten about that mysterious man that he met back on the public carriage and it bothers him a lot not knowing who he was. John then stops by a market and at his left was the old gift shop. He enters the place and approaches to the gift shop seller. "So, what can I do for you, sir?" Ask the Gift Shop Seller. He was this very fat man and very tall too, he had a very long beard like he hasn't shaved in years and he had blue eyes.

"Hi, UhmI want to buy the watch that I order you to make me. You know the one that has a name printed on it." Says John tired.

"Oh, of course! Just give me a moment." The gift shop seller went looking for the watch.

"Hopefully I can get back right in time before..." (John, talking in his head but before he could finish talking in his head, the gift shop seller interrupts his thoughts and give him the watch). The watch was a little rusty, but John like it.

"Here you go sir, that will be fifty-five gold coins."

"Sure." Says John giving him the fifty-five gold coins that he had.

"Anything else?" Asked the gift shop seller.

"Thanks and no am good." He was finally happy that he could get this present for his sister in time.

John gets out of the gift shop and starts walking to the house of his parents, then John hears a voice calling him from behind, he looks behind and found no one there, just some people in the other side of the street having a good time so late. There where some women fooling around with some drunk men and they were laughing. Then he hears it behind him again and he turns around but still no one there. The torch woods that were on the street began to burn out and one by one start to drop, until just four of them were left exactly where John is. The people that were in the street got concerned and start leaving to their homes or finding a safe place to stay, and some old men passing John where talking about how unsafe is it, being walking around in the streets alone in the night because of the attacks that have been of some kind of a beast that only attacks on the night, then he hears the same voices calling him in a very dark alleyway that is on his right side. John's concern speaks nervously and asking if someone is there.

"Hello!? It's anyone in there?" Said John very nervous.

Then he hears the voice calling him again.

"John! Come John, over here, I need your help." Said the Voice in the Alleyway.

"Who are you? Are you ok?" Replied John.

Suddenly he hears a scream.

"Aaaaahh!!!!!" It was from the Voice in the Alleyway.

John rapidly goes to the very dark alleyway without a second thought leaving behind his bag and then when John arrives in there, he barely could see anything, so he asks again.

"Hello!? Are you ok!? Where are you? Am a doctor I can help you?" John asks again very concern as if this person could be injured or in danger.

Then John sees a dark shadow of a man looking at him at the end of the alleyway; that dark shadow starts approaching him slowly and John's concern ask.

"Hello, are you ok? I am a doctor, I can help you! Are you injure?" Said Doctor John's concern.

Finally, this shadow got in front of John and from one second to another sudden John screams.

"Aaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!" He yells in a lot of pain and everything for him went black.
