Chapter five

What ever it was, it had crashed through the front door. But what was it, exactly?? Needless to say, Jamie was less than thrilled to see the giant red worm, which had disturbingly human bones and organs beneath its translucent, bulbous body. Its mouth opened up to reveal a heinous row of teeth like a lamprey, but if a lamprey’s mouth was cut up to make it look like a disgusting mockery of a flower. Another blood curdling shriek was released from its maw before it smashed its face on the ground, wolfing down the old woman’s corpse. Jamie stared in disgust.

“WHAT THE FUCK.” No. Just… no! Ew…

He turned to Sata, who was furiously shaking her comrades. “What the HELL IS THAT THING??” he asked, frequently turning back to the feasting creature. What the hell was he getting into with this world?? WHY DID THAT THING EXIST??

Sata looked up, as bewildered as she was filled with fear. “You’ve never heard of a blood worm?? WAKE UP, guys. COME THE FUCK ON, GUYS!”

Jamie ran to get his axe, turned back to her once it was firmly in his grasp. “I’m new here, remember?” He remembered having bloodworms in his dimension, but needless to say they were a lot smaller. Well, maybe he could gut it while it was distracted. Yeah, that could work!

Ajak scrambled to his hooves, screaming. “A BLOOD WORM?? Seriously?? Guys, wake the HELL UP- JAMIE NO.” As everyone else got up, scared out of their minds, Jamie was, while also terrified, rushing as fast as his stat of forty five allowed to the blood worm, jumping, and then slashing its stomach open. Jamie didn’t stick the landing in the slightest, but managed to get up and get the hell away from the blood worm, which was screaming in pain, spewing a rancid looking red goo from its gash. He was almost going to celebrate. Yes, maybe he wouldn’t die a second time! Then it stopped writhing, its rupture sealing over in a mere five seconds. Wonderful. Sata winced, turning to Jamie.

“Blood worms can regenerate. That’s why these things are basically unable to be killed.”

“Oh, that’s no good. So… are we going to die-” He broke off, ducking under a tentacle that came shooting out of the blood worm at the speed of a bullet. He took this as a “yes”. Kalia, the cat girl, shook her head, ducking under a tendril and punching it, which caused a small burn.

“No, not me. I’m immortal.”

Sata nodded. “Yup. She can regenerate any part of her body, even if she’s rendered a bloody paste-” She narrowly dodged becoming one herself, as a tentacle came flying at her. Well this thing sucked. This thing sucked very hard and Jamie hated it. Soon, everyone was backing away.

Sata groaned. “So, we’re going to have to run. Dorvow, you think you can break through the wall?”

“I don’t know, I’m really tired.”

Sata groaned, smacking her brow. “You know what? FUCK YOU, MAN!” She was lucky she didn’t accidentally cut herself with her knife fingers.

The bird man grunted, his possible demise not enough to get him to even try. Jamie turned to Kalia, panting, an idea entering his head. Yes, maybe he could poison it! “Hey-”

Damn tentacles. “Do you mind cutting off your arm-”

She did not. She cared so little that she actually snatched the axe out of his hands and cut it herself. Well, tried to. It only went half way through, stopping at the bone. The blood worm let out a weird clicking sound, focusing on the two. Everyone was HORRIFIED. Especially Sata.

“KALIA! WHAT THE-” She was interrupted by a tentacle, which she sliced with her bladed fingers.

Jamie himself wasn’t all too calm about this. “Hey, you should have let me do it!” He snatched the axe. “I have axe wielder!” He cut it clean off, and rushed away, using the blood worm’s distraction as a means to escape.

Ajak stared, the distraction causing him to get entangled by a tentacle. “I mean, that guy is insa- AAAHHHHH-”
