Truth be told, I was contemplating if I should proceed with the journey or not because I was very scared, “** what if I come across dangerous animals? what if I get lost and couldn’t trace my way out again?, what if their are dangerous traps that has been la!d down by some hunters inside the forest”**
my mind was filled with different types of rhetorical questions produced because of fear.

As I was still standing there thinking if I should go or not, two guys conversing with each other passed by my side and their conversation goes thus
*
*
*
1ST GUY : I am relocating out of this goddamn place tomorrow
*
2ND GUY : where are you relocating to?
*
1ST GUY : anywhere that its spelling doesn’t start with M
*
2ND GUY : you’re very funny, does it means that every place that its spelling start with M also have heart plucking beast?
*
1ST GUY : yes and no, I don’t wanna know . All I know right now is that I don’t want to have anything to do with places that start with M, it is better if I donate my heart and all the organs in my body to save people’s life than have a beast savoring its delicacy .
*
2ND GUY : I agree with you.
*

Tho they were already fat gone but I was able to snitch on their conversation because of what I am.
What they were discussing really hit me and I was filled with the instinct that I must protect them and my courage was filtered from this instinct without thinking twice again, I made my way into the forest.

I almost ran back when I saw a large ecdysis *(snake shedding)*, it looks like it was shed by an Anaconda because of its size and it also looked new which made my fear to increase, but with the wit that I must liberate my people from the beast, I kept on going.
*
Howling of wolves inside the forest and hooting sounds which I don’t know the animal producing it also increased my fear.

My respect for Nina kept on increasing as I was walking alone inside the forest without knowing the exact place am heading to.
*

Then it happened, I first thought it was my ear that made the sound nearer so I didn’t care about it. But it was getting clearer and nearer, I became vigilant at once, **”what could that be”**?, I asked myself stupidly because I knew that the only animal that can hiss loudly is snake and with how loud the hissing was,, I’m very sure it’s a bid one,maybe the one I saw it ecdysis before,

I stopped abruptly thinking of where it might be,
I don’t know but my intuitions just told me to look up on a tree beside me, **”there it was, its body coiled against a branch of the tree, and it head dangling left and right flicking its forked tongue at the process.

I forgot that I was even a supernatural be I as I started running away, I’ve deviated from the path I was going through before and I wasn’t stopping, I ran till I got to a place where I thought am safe not knowing that my Usain Bolt mode just started.

I was gasping for breath when I heard sound of something coming towards me,
without even checking what it was, I have already resigned to fate. I don’t have any energy left for me to run again, so what ever it is, it should quickly come out and carry on with its business.

Then I felt like the creature coming towards me is more than 1, I was surprised when I saw a pack of huge wolves trooping to where I was, they were up to 6 in numbers,
I didn’t know where I got the strength I used to run from, as i ran even faster than before, but they were coming after me with their sharp claws and huge teeth, they were catching up with me and ready to devour me.

As I was running, I remembered that I am also a beast, I change to my Beast form stopping abruptly to face them and roared loudly, they got scared and I could see them scattering away with their tail tucked in as they ran away for their safety.

I think I scared all the creatures in the forest as many birds of different species were flying away for safety, how I roared echoed throughout the forest and I prayed it gets to Chris and Nina.
I picked a path at random and started walking in its direction.

I was walking absence minded that I didn’t noticed the trap before me.

I have placed my leg in it before I noticed it and it was too late to escape as the trap………………
