Snippet #2498682

And with that, Jona rose.

He claws at the ground in pain, then at his eyes as he saw nothing but darkness. He roared into the forest, feeling nothing around him but the air and the trees. "Help! Help me!" He yelled in his distorted voice, letting out an undesirable cry that'd make the animals near him scurry away in the utmost hurry. He then lashed his head out into the sky, roaring so loud that the trees near him shook. With that, his eyesight came slowly, starting from the center of his view outer. "No, NO!" He yelped again, crying as he dug into the ground weakly, his bloodied eyes tearing up and releasing red tears into the dirt. "Brother!" He cried out loud, smashing at the ground limply, then laid there crying.

After a few sniffles and the rest of his sob, he rose. He looked all around him. "Alone." He said. "All alone." He scurried towards the forest now, trying to find Joshua. He checked in every tree, every log, and every stump that'd be the size of a human. But it'd be no use. There was no sign of his existence.

And that's when he heard the worst sound his ears ever noticed.

He dashed towards where it was, curiosity filling his brain. "Where?" He said weakly, then noticing a monster surrounded by dark monkey-like figures. "Brother!" He yelped, but couldn't be heard over the noise of the roars. He knew it was him, his life source easily seen. But Joshua turned towards him, and showed no expression. No joy in his face, no heart rate increasing. He only stared, his mouth shut and his chest pumped stirnly.

When Joshua trotted away, Jona cried. He bawled now, slamming his body into trees to keep him up. "Br- Brother!" He yelled to himself as he limply walked away from the sight. "Why!?" He yelled, slashing a young tree to watch it fall, relieving no pain at all. "WHY!?" He roared once more, yelping as he gripped for his throat as it hurt for him to cry and shout at the same time. He curled up into a ball now, his body covering the monstrous noise of his sorrow as he cried solemnly.

After a rough hour of sobbing, he rose. He looked towards the sky, to see the darkened world's atmosphere. "I-I will end you." He vowed, looking at something which others wouldn't be able to see. "And I will save my brother."

With that, he dashed into the forest, hoping something or someone would be able to help him.
