Chapter 2 - Midnight Hunt

Down a path of darkness stood a lamp

A lamp of light 

A lit lamp in a path of darkness

The lamp brought light in the path

However the lamp was unreachable

An unreachable lamp in a path of darkness

I walked down the path

The path of darkness

I avoided the light however

I was in a hunt

A hunt in the dark

If I revealed my position, a bullet would be greeting me 

If I revealed my position, a grave would be away from me

If I revealed my position, my body would betray me

If I revealed my position, darkness will be my forever embrace

If I reveal my position, light shall be no more

Away from the path of darkness I went

Figuring if I stayed on path, the path would betray me

Figuring if I stayed on path, the path would lead to my demise

Figuring if I stayed on path, there'd be no grave for me, merely a resting ground

Away from the path of darkness, I went into the bushes

The bushes stood near the path lit by a lamp

The bushes provided cover

Cover from the thirsting man

The man thirsting for my flesh

Once upon a time

I went down this path during the sunset

A pleasant stroll is what I intended to take

And a pleasant stroll is what I got

Once upon a time

I went down this path during the sunset

A pleasant stroll is what I intended to take

And a pleasant stroll is wasn't

Steps can be heard behind me

"On an abandoned path, someone dares to come down with me"

With the intent of no malice

I went to look

With the intent in malice, I was forced to run

Sounds of gun fire rang my ears

Sights of bullets went past my ears

Run run run

Breathe Breathe Breathe

Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back

Escape Escape Escape

The moon has cloaked the sun

The sounds of gunfire had stopped

The sounds of footsteps stopped

Or so I had hopped

Crumbled leaves can be heard breaking ruining stealth

Escape Escape Escape

That I did

Down a dark path I ran

I used the darkness as my cloak

Down a path of darkness stood a lamp

A lamp of light 

A lit lamp in a path of darkness

The lamp brought light in the path

However the lamp was unreachable

An unreachable lamp in a path of darkness

I walked down the path

The path of darkness

I avoided the light however

I was in a hunt

A hunt in the dark

If I revealed my position, a bullet would be greeting me 

If I revealed my position, a grave would be away from me

If I revealed my position, my body would betray me

If I revealed my position, darkness will be my forever embrace

If I reveal my position, light shall be no more

Away from the path of darkness I went

Figuring if I stayed on path, the path would betray me

Figuring if I stayed on path, the path would lead to my demise

Figuring if I stayed on path, there'd be no grave for me, merely a resting ground

Away from the path of darkness, I went into the bushes

The bushes stood near the path lit by a lamp

The bushes provided cover

Cover from the thirsting man

The man thirsting for my flesh

10 minutes go by

"Did I lose him?"

There before me stood the hunter

Fully covered by gear

Covered by gear yet uncovered by the lamp's light

As he left the light

He drew near me

"I shall run no more," I muttered to myself

As he drew near me, my gaze was set on him

As he unknowingly went directly infront of me

I jumped out the bushes and pushed him onto the ground

A tussle erupted

A tussle commenced

Back and forth we grasped each others shirts and punched

Punch punch punch

A glimmer of light hit the corner of my eye

From the night sky shun the moons rays

Little it was however an object reflected it

What could it be

The hunters gun

Tussle tussle tussle

Wrestle wrestle wrestle

I purposely rolled the both of us over to draw near to the gun

Once done I quickly went atop him and grabbed the gun 

To his head I aimed and said "Reveal yourself"

In aw I was left

The one staring down the barrel is my friend
