1 Escape: Chapter 1

A boy only twelve years old is being dragged along with a Tribal group: The Akai. The forest that surrounds them is silent. Night falls soon as the rest of the creatures, and animals flee home from hearing the spiritual chants of the tribe. The chants filled the boy's head, his head swaying, hanging low, and eyes closed. He is dragged into a dark tent, a red wild flower is placed under his nose waking him from his slumber, his breathing becoming heavier as he looks around unaware of his surroundings. His tattered shirt is torn off leaving him in his shorts, a necklace with shells around his neck. The chanting grows louder as he is thrown to the ground in front of what seems to be a table. A tall figure steps up to him and speaks in a Native language. "Today shall be your greatest yet, depending on how the spirits want. You will be given a trial. Failure brings death, sacrifice, or torture if you disobey the sacrifice." He motions for one of the tribesmen to stand the boy up, the tribesman stands the boy up abruptly and hands him a bow with one arrow seeped in poison. "Do you see the flower my boy? That flower is a danger to us." The boy's vision starts to slowly fade, his vision getting blurry from the fumes of the poison. "Get rid of it, and the antidote is yours. As well as your wonderful reward. If not." He motions for his men to aim their weapons at the boy. The boy sways a bit pulling the arrow back catching a stronger scent of the poison almost falling back. The boy recovers and sees more than one flower "Mm.." he groans a bit letting the arrow go missing the flower. "Tsk '' the leader sighs and points his finger up, the tribesmen pulling the boy up. The tribesmen pull the boy away, his feet dragging on the ground. The boy gains a bit of consciousness and grunts standing on his two feet grabbing the two tribes men's arms flipping backwards twisting his arms as well as theirs with a pained yell. While moving back he holds their arms kicking them forward pulling their arms off. The boy pants heavily, his arms recovering slowly and starts running away. A horn is blown alerting the warriors, the rest running out with their weapons and archers arriving setting up their spots. The boy sniffs a green flower catching its sweet scent then stops in his tracks. The leader motions for the tribesmen to put their weapons down and stops behind the boy. The boy's body starts to change, his body getting hairier, nails turning into claws, his teeth sharpening, a tail appears and his ears grows longer. Now looking like a wolf hybrid, the boy's head twitches a bit as he turns slowly towards the tribe, their eyes showing fear as if they've seen the devil himself. "Get back!!" The leader steps back, within a second the boy punches a hole through the leader's head digging both hands down ripping him in half. The other warriors start running away, the boy rips through each and every one of them causing a forest massacre. A figure sits behind watching the event in silence. The archers shoot at him with numerous arrows piercing his body, a warrior knocks him off the cliff setting his staff down. The men listen closely, silently taking over for a second before loud panting and growling is heard again. The boy climbs up at a fast speed grabbing the warriors head impaling him on a large branch then finishing his kills. "Holy shit kid". The boy looks around panting heavily catching the scent of another flower, purple this time, he walks towards it catching a healing calm scent and falls back off the cliff into a stream.
