บท 184: His Sacrifice

[Elise’s POV]

I watch in horror as the strange creature in front of me rises higher and higher until it is standing at its full height.

“Fuck.” Marty, who stands behind me, whistles. “That thing…”

He doesn’t finish his words as the creature moves, rushing toward us with the intent to kill.

“Time to move!” He announces, jumping to one side while I jump to the other.

Straightening myself out, I take in the thing's body, trying to find a weak spot, but its scale-like skin seems almost impenetrable.

‘How the hell did they get ahold of this thing?’ I hiss.

‘Who knows.’ Anna responds. ‘But where doesn’t matter.’

She was right. The only thing that mattered in this situation was killing this damn thing, but was that possible?

As this thought hits, the creature whirls around and moves to attack again, but stops as Jose and Warren move, wrapping their teeth around its ankles.
