Bl4ckjack: Encountering Gojé
Continued from the story; Bl4ckjack: lost in the Netherland.

The plane hurtling down made Malik dizzy, such that he lost his balance and tripped, hitting his head on a seat and subsequently passing out.
When he finally came to, he was in the plane wreckage, surrounded by flames and metal scraps. He crawled to safety as his hands, belly and legs were being burned by the extreme heat. He felt as if he was being boiled alive. After struggling for some minutes, he finally made to a stream of water. But there was nothing to be happy about because, he didn't know where he was or how even survived the crash. To add salt to the injury, the stream was polluted with the dark thick fluid. He decided to hike away even though he knew not where he was going; he might as well be heading to his certain doom.
Malik had never seen a forest like that he was in. It was dark and the deadly Vines he saw in the plane grew all over. There was deafening silence that he could almost hear his heart pounding hard like metal in his chest. His head throbbed with awful pain, making him slightly dizzy. He staggered as he walked down a path. Seeing a path gave him hope there was civilization nearby. What he did not know was that even wild animals made paths as such.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he thought about the certain death of his uncle. He felt that he was not meant to be brought up as he brought death to everyone near him. As he was sobbing while remembering the past, a sharp twig stabbed him in the foot making him let out a loud yelp. He pulled out the twig whilst crying loud. Blood squirted all over making him cry even more. Then he heard something next to him.
He turned to look and saw a seven foot humanoid vine monster; the Gojé.
