I ran, following the stranger in front of me as best as I was able. then  the deafening roar of an explosion came from behind me, it spurned me onwards. I only hoped the girl that had saved us, in some small way, was at peace. I checked behind myself to see if the three others were keeping up and caught the rapidly fading glow of blue light where we had fled from. I noticed the blood running down one of the three, and then the shades were on one of the others in a sudden frenzy.

One shade had swiped and ripped a gaping wound in her torso, I screamed. The other shades ignored me in a frenzy to eat the dripping flesh. they tore into themselves to get to it and I screamed again at the violence. i fell to my knees and just looked on as the hoard slowly turned to face us.

Suddenly, a panicked and distressed voice rang out in the minds of all the girls gathered: [i][color=ed145b]"If you want to live eat the remains of the shade in front of you! [b]HURRY![/b]"[/color][/i] 

Of course I wanted to live, but at what cost?

I made my decision and hugged the last possessions I had tighly. I would not fall to to these creatures depths, I would not succumb to barbarism, I would remain civilised in this unnatural world whereever it was. "[color=f49ac2][b]I will [i]NOT.[/i][/b][/color]"

I held my bag tightly and gritted my teeth for whatever was to come.
