3- Flies

A couple of feet away from the hole I stood there waiting for the person to come up. Finally they pulled themselves up and I was able to see them fully. He was a tall guy maybe four-five inches taller than me, dressed up in all black with shirt without sleeves over an actual shirt.

Once he got up he brushed his clothes from the dust that accumulated up from the climb. He looked up and must've saw me glaring at him.

"What?"

I took a step backwards before addressing his question.

"Who are you?"

"I was meaning to ask the same thing about you. Where even are we?"

He didn't know either. I looked around again, I was able to see the view at least a few hundred feet away from all sides, I should've been able to see the village from here but it wasn't anywhere. I looked back.

"Im not sure, I just climbed from the hole and got here."

"Guess we're in the same situation then, name's Colt"

"Bellamy"

He looked around and caught eye of the group of people down the hill. He looked at me as if asking if he could move. I nodded and stepped to the side. He walked up next to where I was and stared at them for a while.

"Reckon we should go down there and see what's going on"

I still wasn't sure what to do. It was better now having one more person to walk down with but I still didn't know him or the people down there. What if this was all a trap to lure me down there. I decided to take my chances.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Sure, you lead"

If I was going to head down, I was at least going to have him in front of me. This was the safest way incase something wrong did happen. He started walking down and I followed. As we were walking down the hill I remembered how I didn't feel any pain coming from my heels or palm. I looked down at my hand and heels and saw how they looked as if nothing had happened to them. I touched over them just incase and just how they looked they felt normal. Should I be happy, how did this happen. Just As I was in thought, Colt turned around.

"Hey it looks like they spotted us, maybe you should put away that knife"

He was right, I hadn't paid attention to it but a couple of people from the group in front of us were now looking over at us all while I was tightly holding on to the knife I had in the open. I needed to hide it. I started patting myself down looking for a place to hide it in, Damn this stupid gown. There was no where to hide it.

"Don't ya have a belt"

A belt? What was he talking about. I looked at him as he was grabbing something around his waist. Is that a belt?

"No"

He looked at me perplexed.

"Here just hand it over"

I looked him over, I wasn't about to just hand over the only weapon I had.

"Im gonna keep it"

He looked at me and smiled.

"Suit yourself"

It was better this way, even if the people were wary of me that would make it even better. He turned back around and started walking. I followed. As we were getting closer I could over hear a girl talking.

"Here two people just got here now its 25, tell us what's happening."

I looked at who she was talking to. It was a cloaked man with what looked like a blindfold on. Just as I was looking over him he made a smile that seemed to reach across his whole face, he had flies coming out of his mouth, hundreds of them. A swarm of flies had came out of him, he was no longer standing up instead his skin was on the ground. It looked like an animal that had just gotten its guts and bones taken from its body. The people around him backed away. The swarm of flies started to form shape next to him. Then it solidified. What the hell. It looked like wood. It was like a stump of wood with a sign on it. How was that even possible. I looked at Colt who had his mouth open.

"Fucks sake, what was that?"
