Carrying the Alpha's Heir novel Chapter 8

Chapter 6: Human Touch Part 1

I don’t know how I managed to think a lot in such a short time. My mind is working so fast as memories keeps on flashbacking on me. Is this the sign that my life will end like this?

My knees were painful because I tripped on a rock, even though I am feeling extremely cold, I tried to stand up and run. I never look back, I never checked on the thing who is chasing me right now. I refuse to die in this moment.

I run again; I don’t know which way, but I continue running. I don’t want to face it. I’m scared.

The growls that I can hear from behind me is making me imagine that it’s a savage animal. My heart seems like it wanted to get out because of its loud beating. My breathing hitched when I sighted a tight shrub, I run there and hide myself- gambling every chance of survival.

My skin hurts a little because of the force that I did to make me fit in the shrubs. I endured it and stayed silent.

My tears are falling on my cheeks now. I am breathing hoarsely when I sighted an animal. It’s not a normal animal, it’s a beast!

I can’t see the color properly because it’s dark. But the sparkle of its eyes reflects the full moon. It’s huge, I don’t know if I could survive if it caught me.

It continue running forward, leaving the area where I am hiding. I don’t want to move but this is my chance. If that beast finds out that I am here, it will kill me right away.

I slowly removed myself from the shrubs and run again. I made a run as silent as possible to prevent if from noticing me. Since I fell earlier and it injured my ankle, I couldn’t run properly. I wanted to scream in pain from every step that I make, but I can’t even make a noise.

When I officially run a distance, I stopped on a group of trees and held to it.

“Ugh..” I groaned while massaging my ankles that I think got fractured.

Some part of me was praying that Miho would come and save me. but I don’t want her to come here either because I don’t want her to be in the same situation with mine.

My hands were trembling as I breath slowly, it’s freaking cold and dark. I don’t know what that thing is but I am sure it will eat me or kill me.

Tears stream down my face as I try my best to be positive. Relax, Pyress, relax.

I closed my eyes and uttered a prayer, that’s the best thing that I can do in this situation. I am in the middle of praying when I heard the steps coming closer and the crunch of the dead leaves.

I held my breath and stood up. I held on a tree and look at every direction. I pulled my sweater down and covered my shaking hands. My knees were jelly, but I managed.

It’s silent, but faintly, I can hear it coming but I don’t know in which direction.

I am busy looking at everywhere but when it suddenly landed in front of me, I froze in fear.

“AAAAHHHHH!!!!!” My loud screams probably reached the camp. But I can hear fear with my own voice.
