Primal Impulse
by Matthew Torres
"Oh dear what could have happened here…I gotta get you home.'' a calm pleasant voice was all I could hear but it was fading away more and more until, I fell unconscious.
I woke up in a small house that by the looks of it seemed near vacant with the exception of me. suddenly a beast like woman appeared through a hallway in the corner of the room I was in. she was much taller me had white hair, dark skin and had yellow eyes with sharp pupils. she formed a muscular build but looked wolfish because of what seemed to be fangs, claws and pointed ears. scared thoughts were clouding my mind but then she noticed me and her mean looking facial expression changed to a surprised yet straight face. The thoughts were now swarming my head "is she going to kill me"? after at least a moment of nothing the woman started changing, she was getting smaller, her muscles were contracting, her wolfish features were subsiding and her pupils returned to a close to normal shape. her reversion was now complete and she started to approach me, her eyes were tearing up as if she were to cry. now she was standing in front of me and she kneeled on one knee, her yellow eyes met mine and before I could say a word she hugged me. her tears traveled down my shoulder and she cleared her throat "you’re here at last."
She finally let go of me and wiped off the wet expressions on her face. Baffled at what just happened I forced myself to make a sound " um who are you?"
"its me Zaila, do you remember me?
'' I shook my head as her expression changed from hopeful and excited to disappointed. Zaila got up from kneeling and walked to a nearby door but before she could get to it, it opened. In came a pleasant looking teenage girl who had red-pink hair, red eyes, sharp teeth and a medium muscle build. "Oh he’s awake" said the girl excitingly but Zaila just walked glumly past her saying "he's not the one." The other girls face went from happy to sad hearing that but she pressed on towards me anyway. after she was in a good conversational distance she started to speak "I'm sorry for what just happened we thought you where someone else.'' her voice was so familiar yet the memory of it escaped my mind. "my name is Melli by the way" she continued
"where am I?" I inquired.
"this is a shack that Zaila and I made and if you want you can stay here, at least until you get back on your feet."
"thank you, Melli."
Nightfall had come and Melli and I had set up beds in the shack. diner was in silence except for Melli "so do you remember anything like your name or where you came from?"
"its faint like a fog covering up something I need to know.'' zaila was silent for all of the night except for when we were getting ready for bed "good night" we all said to each other as we all drifted into sleep.
"hey wake up" a familiar voice was speaking to me "Zaila?" my eyes were opened only to see that everything was white
"where am I?" I asked.
"we're in your dreams" she replied
"so your in my head!"
She nodded "I'm here to show you your memories"
I gasped "my memories?"
"yeah from the first time I saw you I was able to connect with your mind so I searched for your memories, and now I found them so you can see them" she replied.
Images flashed before my eyes, showing battles with me and these beasts that looked much like Zaila when I first saw her fighting side by side against armies of soldiers. Suddenly the flashes stopped and Zaila walked towards me "I need your help because there are many people in danger."
"I'm just an ordinary boy I can't possibly be able to help you!"
after I finished that sentence Zaila turned back and disappeared into the white fog and one last image was shown. It had Zaila, Melli and I on it and a short phrase was spoken "your our only hope."
I woke up to a pleasant morning. Melli made breakfast and we all ate together. "so do you remember anything?'' Melli asked. I looked at Zaila then my food and kept eating without saying a single word. "SHE ASKED YOU A QUESTION" Zaila shouted standing up and putting her hands on the table and by that time I was done with my breakfast. "yeah I got something" I answered calmly and both of there faces lit up with smiles. I smiled and said "I'm ready."
Days had passed from that fateful phrase and I'll never forget the moment I said it. living with Zaila and Melli isn’t as bad as I thought it be for example we spend most of the time training or running errands that were quite trivial. today feels different, dangerous like some kind of darkness is in the work, something is coming.
I woke up to the rather pleasant smell of Melli's cooking for she was making breakfast for all of us. I had a long and fierce battle with my laziness but after it was done I finally got up. entering the kitchen I noticed many utensils spread on the table, Melli cooking and Zaila sitting at the table. "Always sluggish in the morning" said Zaila and I forced a nod agreeing with what she said. when Melli was done cooking we all sat down at the table and started eating "so Zaila" I said and she turned towards me. "From what you told me you have this thing, what was it called primal impact?"
"Its called primal impulse and its what you saw when you first saw me."
I understandingly nodded and with that breakfast ended and we all started to get ready for the day. Today we are going to stop "the great hunter", his plans are to kill every primal then the humans then everything living! The thought of such intentions sickens me and the more I think about it the more I want to stop him.
Melli and I were cautiously walking through a secret entrance to the great hunters hideout until suddenly I heard a small click "it’s a trap" I shouted! One of the walls in the entrance shifted and opened but then nothing happened and Melli looked at me "I just was being careful" I said with guilt. We pressed on through the door and through some more caves until we met with Zaila who was in her primal form "he's so close I can sense him maybe I can break through this part of the wall" she said. With that she started to charge into the wall making very minimal damage "she's going to need help" I said looking at Melli who was shaking. "Are you okay?" Melli looked at me and I saw her face changing, her hair was growing, teeth were sharpening and her eyes changed to what Zaila's looked like. "No way" I said as Melli's body started changing, her muscles were growing, she was getting taller and her nails turned into claws… she had a primal impulse. Once her transformation was done Melli started charging against wall with Zaila and eventually it broke down revealing a chamber that was emitting light. We quickly entered the room and there he was in shining black armor…"the great hunter."
"Ha you finally made it" said the great hunter. I could feel some sort of energy emitting from somewhere on him that made me feel weak "your going to die here" I said gripping my sword with more strength. He let out another evil laugh "oh really, your not even strong enough to kill me what makes you so sure?" he asked.
"I'm never going to let you carry out your plan even if it kills me" I shouted!
I charged at him with all my might and in a split second he pulled up his shield and deflected my attack with ease then pulled out his sword which was glowing red and I felt more power being drained from me. "That sword is what's making me feel weak" I thought and Zaila and Melli started to charge at the great hunter who was ready to counterattack. First Zaila came and the great hunter swung his sword and she dodged it then disarmed him of his weapons. Then came Melli and the great hunter's hands started to glow charging up some sort of dark magic. The great hunter grabbed Zaila and threw her into Melli causing them both to crash into the wall "he's too powerful" I thought as he turned towards me and started to approach.
Fear was growing inside of me and as he got closer his magic was now fully charged and ready to fire. now he was standing parallel from me and I got up uncontrollably shaking "I told you that you couldn’t stop me and yet you foolishly attempted anyway." He stuck out his hand ready to fire his dark magic at me and I pulled up my shield in fear but suddenly Melli came and tackled him causing him to miss. The great hunter got up and picked up Melli by her neck choking her and he also picked up his sword and said "foolish weak beasts there's no need for you anymore!"
The great hunter clenched his sword and stuck it through Melli's heart killing her "NO" I screamed rage was filling my body causing me feel more and more powerful. Zaila let out a loud roar and started charging again at the great hunter so he turned dropping Melli on the floor and I ran to her. I grabbed Melli into my arms and her body was changing into its original form "everything is going to be okay" I said as Melli coughed up some blood. "I didn't tell you about me because I love you" Melli said as she took her last breath. I started to cry the rage inside of me was at its peak and I started to feel different like I was changing and I was. I felt my body grow bigger, stronger and faster. I gained the primal impulse.
My change was complete and I was ready to fight the great hunter so I zoomed towards him with my newly acquired speed ready to attack. Zaila had been injured while fending off the great hunter so she was vulnerable but before he could get any closer to her I caught him by surprise and tackled him damaging his armor to a breaking point. The great hunter staggered to get up and when he did some of his armor broke off revealing a weak point so I quickly grabbed his sword and stuck it into his chest killing him. The great hunter fell down in defeat as I went to check on Zaila who now in her human form. "Are you alright?" I asked.
"Yeah I can stand at least" replied Zaila
"we need to get out of here" I exclaimed and Zaila nodded standing up. We started to move towards an exit at the other end of the chamber Zaila exited first but before I could I stopped. Zaila turned back and looked at me asking "what's wrong?"
"I'm a primal now and we beat the great hunter so what do we do now?" I replied.
"Your not thinking of just staying here are you?"
"I don’t know what to do now and I don’t think I want to carry on after what just happened"
"listen I miss Melli too but I don’t think she would want you to just sit here and do nothing"
I nodded and continued towards the exit but before I could get through it a dark magic barrier covered the exit preventing me from leaving. "I'm not letting you escape" shouted a dreadful voice as I turned to see only that the great hunter was still alive! I tried breaking the barrier but I was too weak and I had reverted back into a human. Zaila was on the other side also trying break the barrier but was failing. The great hunter was now a dark shadow version of himself approaching me with dark magic charging up energy. Just as he was going to attack a light magic shield blocked the attack and an angel had appeared from the shield. "Go now I will hold him off" said the angel and I turned only to see that the barrier was gone so I quickly rushed though the exit escaping the cave.
Zaila and I had finally emerged from underground and traveled back to our home safely. When we arrived we settled in and recovered from our recent battle.
One year had past from that fatal day and life had been peaceful. I woke up this morning to a pleasant smell of cooking coming from the other room so I instantly got up and rushed toward the kitchen. Zaila was cooking Melli's favorite breakfast which was eggs with bread and a cinnamon roll on the side. Once she was done cooking we both sat down and ate while having a conversation. "I can't believe it's been a whole year without her" I said Zaila frowned and replied "yeah she would have loved to sit and eat here with us also do you know who found you?"
"no but now that I think about it I want to know, who was it?"
"It was Melli who brought you in and took care of you."
I looked up and thought about what Melli said to me before she took her last breath. "you know life is precious for all and you never ever should want to take away life" I said and Zaila nodded understandingly and with that breakfast was over and the days continued but I never forgot about Melli because I was going to bring her back some day.
