Chapter Two: Lester Vs Beasts

  Lester wakes up. He was on the ground and he wakes in the middle of the woods in broad daylight. He sits up "Where am I? Wait, I was just in the Book Fair, how did I get here?" He stands up and looking around he heads into the fields to find civilization. "What is lying against that tree... wait... is that a corpse?!" Lester finds a tree with a corpse lying against it. The corpse is in a skeleton state, unrecognizable.

  The corpse seemed to be hugging an item, it seemed to be a small scythe. Lester began to hear growls around him. "What was that?" He looks around and in the tall grass he spots a pack of wolves. They begin to circle around him "Oh shit they're coming for me!" He grabs the small scythe to defend himself.

  One of them lunges at him, Lester evades but drops into the ground. He's desperate to get on his footing again but another wolf lunges again and Lester barely blocks the attack. "Shit!" He's trapped in a power struggle against the wolf as he blocks it off. The other wolves were getting closer to encircling him.

  "Guess I have no choice but to do this!" Lester forces the wolf slightly back with all of his strength and then goes for a slash. He manages to to blind the wolf in one of its eyes. It backs off and groans in pain. "Now to finish it off" but before he goes for another attack a wolf charges at him, this time he was prepared.

  "(Get the timing down!)" Lester goes for a head/crown strike at the wolf in the right moment and impales the wolf in its head. "Nice, those Arnis lessons (or weapons martial arts) weren't for just show! Four more to go!"

  Two wolves lunge at him from the front and back. He evades and then runs to reposition. The wolves chase him. He turns a 60° angle and runs towards the wolves. One of the wolves lunges at him and he evades and goes for the wolf in the back. "(I have to get this right!) The wolf pounces on him and Lester slashes at the stomach.

  He gets it right and the wolf pukes blood, with its innards now exiting its body. The wolf lies down in its pool of blood. "Next!" The three wolves come at him at once and Lester makes a run for it again. He makes a 60° angle to the right and evades the first wolf, but this time the wolf in the back goes for a downward attack, unexpected for Lester.

  The wolf then bites his leg. "Fuck!" Lester yells in pain. He was about to go for an impalement but a wolf lunges at him from behind. Lester then grabs a hold of the wolf munching on his leg and then throws it at the wolf coming at him. He manages to hit the wolves against each other and send them into the ground.

  "This hurts like hell!" Lester groans in pain. "I can't run anymore, how am I supposed to fight them?" Lester readies his small scythe again in a last stand. Two of the wolves charges at him from two different directions and he manages to slash one of them in the neck and then he evades the other wolf.

  "Just two of those damned wolves left!!" Lester tries to ready himself, but he begins to weaken and he crouches down. "I'm bleeding out!" The two last remaining wolves encircle him. "But if I don't make this count I'll die". So he musters the strength to stand up again and anticipate the next move.

  "(This might be a dumb idea, this is something straight out of the movies or anime, but if I don't gamble it all in this one last move I'll die!)" The two wolves come at him from his sides. "RAAAAAAGH!" Lester yells out a warcry and slashes at a 180° angle and then, somehow, gets both the wolves in the necks. They all fall to the ground, Lester included.

  "I fucking did it!" Lester yells out in celebration. The wolves were bathing in their blood. But he overhears one of them grumbling. "No way... I thought I got him, was my slash too weak for the second wolf?" The wolf crawls its way to Lester. "Stay the hell away!!" He crawls away from the wolf leaving a blood trail but the wolf was faster.

  The wolf eventually catches up to him and pounces on him. Lester blocks its fangs with his small scythe. "(Shit! Shit! Shit! This is bad!)" The wolf slowly overpowers him and pushes Lester down. He bites into his arm. "Shit!" Lester yells in pain. "I don't have any strength left! But it's come to this... if you want a brutal way out I'll give it to you!!" Lester grabs the wolf by its neck wound and digs deep into it.

  The wolf recoils in pain. Lester pushes it down and goes for the killing blow and slashes at its neck one last time. Lester was breathing heavily, tired from his battle. "Finally I got them all" He lies down beside the dead wolf and rests for a moment. "This is not good, I've been bleeding out alot of blood, if I don't find a hospital I might die"
