Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14
********
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 laid 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………………
