CHASE
The wind whipped my hair back as my feet pounded on the dirt floor. My
heart pounded in my ears, all erratic and out of control. Panic rippled through
my body, fear bleeding from every pore. A snarl echoed through the air,
making the nesting birds scatter into the night sky.
No. No. No!
I ran harder. Faster. Couldn’t stop. Had to move.
Leaves snapped against my face and body with my carelessness. The forest
was dark, haunting almost, but the full moon gave me enough light to find my
way. Not that I cared about direction. That didn’t matter when all my instincts
screamed at me to escape.
A part of me wanted to look back. To see what was coming after me. But
every other part was crying, desperate never to face the monster snapping at
my feet.
Maybe I should have listened when they told me things lurk in these woods.
Things that only existed in myths and legends. There were no apex predators
in this country. They’d been hunted to extinction hundreds of years ago.
I was mistaken in my scepticism. In my disbelief. I should’ve known better
than to ignore the warnings. And now, I regretted my hastiness in coming out
here alone without a soul to hear me scream.
The growl ringing through the canopy had me twisting to the left, dashing
into the part of the forest where the trees were denser. I wound my way
through them, hating that they slowed my progress. That they caused me to
lose ground.
Keep going. You have to keep going. There’s no other way out.
If I let that thing catch me, I’d be dead. It would eat me alive.
My ears pricked up, listening to the footfall behind me. It wasn’t human. It
moved on four legs. And it was big. Fucking massive.
When I glanced at it through the trees, its amber eyes staring at me in the
dark, I thought I was seeing things. I knew it was real only when its face came
into view with all that fur and the growl that reverberated through me, sending
terror streaking down my back.
Fight or flight.
I chose the latter. Running for my life through a forest I’d never been in
before. That would teach me to think debunking myths was a great way to
spend my time off from my career in finance. Going to spooky places and
proving none of it was real was all fun and games until you’re met with a
monster that shouldn’t exist.
