Chapter 240 240 I Got You
The rushing wind flapped hair up and down- she jerked and jerked midair- fighting to break free of the curled flesh around her waist.
Just as her feet was about to come crashing down- just as she expected to hear the sickening crunch of her legs breaking from the fifteen feet fall, Stacy instead felt the warm, strong grip of two human hands beneath her.
"It's alright. . ." was the voice she heard: "I got you. . ."
Stacy burst into a fresh bout of hot tears- sobbing and sobbing, as Nexus patted down her hair- whispering into her ears;
"It's alright. . .it's alright. . ." he echoed; "You're safe now. . .you're okay. . ."
It was only when she stopped crying, and opened her eyes- that she heard it.
From the top of the hill, the splitting howling of the monster screeched through the sky. Pain echoed in every piercing note- blasting across the hills, valleys, and coves in waves and waves of blood curdling reverberations.
Stacy, still trembling, clung to Nexus' shoulders- sobbing, and sobbing. Her eyes glistened, and her mascara muddied- sending black lines falling down her cheeks. Slowly, she felt Nexus (Master Ni Yang) lower her body to the ground- gradually letting her go, letting her stand on her own.
Sniffling, she wiped her eyes with the edge of her sleeves, while the octopus raged in the distance.
"I know that was hard," Nexus whispered softly- "But we REALLY can't stay here much longer."
"Yeah," she nodded urgently; "Let's not do that again. . ."
Nexus might have smiled- under different circumstances.
"Here," he gave her his hand; "Let's roll."
As she took his hand, she suddenly froze. Her eyes suddenly flared open in shock- and the air around her suddenly went stiff. Mouth hanging low and open, her blood drained face gazed right past Nexus' shoulders- at the sight behind him.
Swifly, Nexus' instincts kicked in. On the balls of the soles of his feet, he wheeled a one eighty- turning around in a low crouch- fists clenched at his sides, whistling for his flying sword.
His eyes returned to the giant blob above him.
And blood immediately rushed to his head.
About fifty yards out, traveling in horizontal formations, were four slimy tentacles- raging towards him with lightning speed!! Perpendicular to each other, they tore through the air, silently roaring though the stillness of the night- hurtling down the hill towards Nexus and Stacy!
Stacy began to scream.
Nexus grunted- searching his consciousness for the link to his sword.
Immediately, he found it- hovering in the stratosphere above- lingering like a metal sentinel. Nexus closed his fists in anger. And the massive sword surged forward. Tip facing west, and hilt following, there was a flicker of slivery steel in the air, followed by a high pitched whistling. It happened two blinks of an eye- but Nexus watched it all in slow motion..
Blood thumping wildly in his skull, he estimated the distance at thirty yards- and closing in fast!! He refused to take his eyes of the tentacles. But the sight of his sword shooting across the sky- like a comet- lined up the edges of his vision.
Nexus' breath STOPPED.
A hundred feet in the air, the massive blade screeched as it approached the host of thick tentacles.Three feet away, it arched upwards- slightly tilting its angle upwards for an execution.
Nexus exhaled.
And the biting coldness of the sharp blade sank its metal teeth into the warm flesh. In a fiery gash, the sword sliced through skin, membrane, and fiber. Its sharpness sliced through everything- down to the molecular level- dividing cells, and cells.
In the fraction of a second, the first tentacle came crashing down the earth.
Nexus' eyes twitched in that moment- and darted upwards- to the round bald head of the monster. Just as he had expected, its boneless body shuddered violently. Just as the sword began to slice through the third tentacle, a spine-tingling roar erupted into the air;
ARGHH*#%HH*#%!!!!!!!!!!!!
The creature's bulbous head jerked backwards- quaking violently- filling the air with gut wrenching screams. By the time the flying sword emerged, the fourth tentacle- thick as a pregnant human- fell to the ground- crumbling in the dust- rolling until it rammed into the other three.
Nexus felt a tingle of satisfaction as his sword emerged from the chaos- soaked from tip to hilt in the slimy entrails of the tentacles.
In the background, standing on two of its remaining three, the massive octopus swayed and swayed- thrashing like a petulant child- sending tremors rippling through the rocky grounds of the hill- wailing loudly into the cloudless night.
Under Nexus and Stacy's feet, the vibrations thundered- violently echoing in inconsistent rythms. Nexus allowed himself the pleasure of letting the roars seep into his ears. He watched - eyes sparkling in excitement- as it lifted its half shredded tentacles- curling them into the air- waving them hysterically. The bleeding butts of the tentacles were were so thick, the sounds of the spluttering blood sounded like the gushing of open faucets.
Eyeing the pile of decapitated tentacles on the ground, Nexus whipped around- facing Stacy:
"Come on. . ." he tugged her on her arm this time/ "Let's get outta here. . . I think big boy's going to be busy for a minute or two."
——————————-
But Nexus was wrong.
A few moments later, dashing down the hill, with the crescent moon hovering over them, and the blackness of the night sky stretched out like an inverted sea above them, Nexus and Stacy tore down the hill- hoping they had gotten a little reprieve.
Nexus' coat flapped behind him- rumbling like low thunder.
Stacy's curls danced in the wind, fluttering softly.
Swinging their arms, and faces contorted, they surged forward with all their might- leaping over obstacles as they dashed towards the base of the hill. One thought echoed through both their minds:
THAT MOTHERFU**ER BETTER BLEED OUT AND DIE.
But the hope was killed when a guttural scream exploded behind them. It was so loud, it rattled through their bones- echoing in powerful reverberations. Legs thumping, Stacy jerked her head in Nexus' direction- eyes bulging, and tongue panting.
'That's not good!' her eyes screamed silently; 'That's not good at all!!'
Nexus howled in frustration.
Still sprinting- not daring to stop, he spun his head around- trying to steal a glance. Immediately, Nexus' eyes dimmed! The hollows of his cheeks sunk in as he opened his mouth- gazing in shock.
From the corner of Stacy's eyes, Nexus' flabbergasted look came into the line of her sight. She swallowed- triggering the rise and fall of the ball on her throat. Shit. More bad news?!
"Master!" she called out against the rushing wind: "What is IT?!"
But Nexus' face immediately smoothened into a flat- emotionless face.
"It's not good," he called back: "Just keep going!"
The cold night breeze had been constantly blasting against the nakedness of her thighs. Her lungs were burning from running all fuckin' night. The fatigue was starting to get to her. And now, from the look on her master's face, she sensed that somehow, things had gotten worse?
'Uh uh,' she told herself: 'I need to know. . .'
She tilted slightly to the right, purposely decelerating- and whipped her head back.
