CHAPTER 16 - 16: THE DAILY STRUGGLE'S OF A RAT 5

"Yawn"

"I miss my fur" Vice stood under the stones shivering lemanting his fur as he looked at the rain

"Achoo!"

"Sniff"

"Damn now I have the flu, let just get this day horrible over with" Vice left his rock as he was heading to the lake to study the that creature.

"Those damn birds will never come out in the rain I need a new plan" Vice ran throw the rain

He could now see the lake but also the pantig resting under a tree guarding the lake.

"is this it damn terrotry"he mumbled as he watched the pantig

"Oh bait you still have three day's" the pantig spoke with a smile on it face.

"I came to drink some water my lord" Vice spoke with a fake smile on his face

"Good then we can hunt today go on drink" it kept smiling as it looked at Vice

"What if it doesn't come?" He looked at the lake as he spoke

"Let's hope it does" it spoke a it licked it's lips

Vice understood he went to the lake and drank but nothing happened he looked back to see the pantig encouraging gaze

He took on step into the water this time he was trembling.

'Goddamn it's raining why did I come here?' He took another step and nothing happened.

He looked back but this time not at the pantig but for shade but he found nothing.

His heart beat faster, as he took another step, nothing happened.

"Stop wasting my time bait" the pantig spoke

Vice looked back and nodded

***********

Vice put every stat point he had into agility, what he needed was speed to survive this. He had submerged half of his body into the water.

He could feel a small ripples in the water.

'Why is it even taking the bait Im only as big as its canines' Vice wandered as he's remembered the creatures body.

He took another step as he clenched his jaw 'why am even doing this?'

He took another step his muscles tightened 'have I became this weak that I can be bullied by anything stronger than me?'

He took another step his vain bulged 'I'm a fucking coward'

He took another step with stern look 'my enemy isn't this it that fucking cat thats using me'

He stopped moving 'No my enemy is myself, I lack the resolve to face it head on, at anytime I felt in danger I bargain for another second,a minute,an hour or a day. I've given up on my freedom for a life where I'm constantly at someone's mercy'

'I can't live like this, this is not life, it's nothing but a slow death.'

He stood there just thinking about how his life.

'Fuck that cat I'd rather die fighting for my life than be a pawn' he turned back he was now going to face the pantig, but It was too late.

When Vice turned his back to the lake the creature lunged its self at Vice it swallowed him hole.

The creature body landed near the shore but as it was about to return into the water the pantig was already on top of it.

Just like last time it only put up a fight for a few seconds before dying with the creature dead the pantig ate it went for the belly first

"Munch..munch..munch"

It had a smile on its face it seemed to be enjoying it food.

"Munch"

"HUFF.." someone was grasping for ear

"Your still alive little guy" the pantig spoke as it looked at Vice who was gasping for air.

He simply looked at the pantig and said nothing.

He stepped out of the creatures body and walked to his stones letting the rain clean him as he walked home.

He arrived home and took out a blue sphere out of his shadow space

"So this is it mana core, impressive" Vice put the mana core that was the size of a football on the ground.

"The damn thing is as big as me" he looked at the mana core and meditated.

It took a while for him to dry all the mana in the core

"It seems when the monster died it was considered a team effort, giving me some exp" Vice smiled seeing the extra levels but what made him happy was the mana boost and skill boost he got from the mana core.

"Ok time to sleep" seeing that it was night Vice went to sleep

.....

...

.

"Yawn"

Vice got up and ate his leaves he was watching the rain.

"When is this rain going to stop" Vice wandered as he ate

He left his stone home heading for the lake

"Time to leave this place and find a place with human I'll deal with those wolves when im stronger" Vice was planning on leaving the core region before it kills him.

"But how did I even come here the last thing I remember before coming here is those damn wolves and the river" Vice was now near the lake trying to find a way out of here.

"I'm not swimming up stream" Vice looked at the river as a death trap that he wouldn't touch.

"Do the gorillas know?" He was now walking to the gorilla habitat.

After a while Vice arrived to gorilla habitat

'Holy fuck actually here' Vice was expecting the gorillas to be hiding or sheltering them self's from the rain.

"Hello" Vice spoke

"What?" the gorilla was to busy eating its food to turn it head

"I was wandering if there's any way to leave the forest" Vice spoke not expecting much but anything will do.

"Top of the tree has an exit" the gorilla pointed toward the giant tree and then returned to eating

'How the fuck does that tree have an exit?' Vice doubted what the gorilla said but didn't have other options

"Thank you" Vice left for the tree he once tried to climb
