The arrogant mate of mine

Chapter three - the unfated encounter with the unknown

Grrrrhhhh!!! Is the only thing that keeps echoing in the forest. I'm at the extreme end of the crowd, so I can't really tell what's making that sound. 

"Stay back!!!" one of the instructors shouts. 

Grhhh!!! Echoes again. 

What the hell is making that sound. It sounds like a wolf or something. I push in between people to go to the front and have a clear view of what's making that growl. Thanks to my tiny little body, it was easy to snuggle in between the crowd. 

Just before I could reach the front, guns starts shooting and people start scattering in million directions. Even the air in this creepy forest knows that something's definitely wrong. Only the growl of some feisty beasts and the screams of terrified human beings. I want to run just like the others but I can't. This usually happens to me when I'm scared or terrified. The only thing that could make me move is something more terrifying than the first. As if on cue, a dead body falls right in front of me. The body's face is extremely disfigured. It's like as if some animal has eaten through it. Just before I could even think of inspecting the dead body, I see some form of animal-human figure charging at me. All the nerves and muscles in my body comes back to life. I run the opposite direction without even looking at the dying colleagues of mine. I run and run like a cheetah in the middle of a desert. When hope was already gone from my mind, all I'm waiting for right now is for the beasts to come and eat me too. Even though I'm really good at running but this time it's of no use. Out of no where, I see a cave in front of me. I quickly run into the cave and hide. Breath in, breath out, that's the only thing I'm capable of doing. What exactly are those things that is attacking us. They are more of beasts than humans. Is it possible that the story that that girl's telling us is true. Well, I don't believe that. There is no such things as werewolves nor any supernatural beings. 

Grrrhhh!!! I hear directly in front of me. We stare directly into each others eyes. She's definitely a female from her features but it is definitely not of humans. She looks really pale as if she has just been brought up from the dead. That's the answer to all my silly questions, I guess. They are real but what are they?. I guess I'll have to find out after I'm dead. I just close my eyes and wait for my death to strike me. My only regret is that I'll die young. 

One! Two!! Three!!! I open my eyes to face my death but to my own huge surprise, there's nobody in the cave a part from silly me. Well, I guess I just imagined it or it just let me go. But it seems so real. 

After about half an hour, the forest is now silent as a graveyard not like earlier. I silently crawl out of the small cave to see what's happening in the outside world. The first thing that greeted my eyes is a dead figure. I silently walk to the body to see who's the victim of the attack. I turn the body because it's laying on it's face. 

"Ahhhhh!!!" I shout. 

It's a human but it's body is full of furs all over. I gently start walking backwards and as soon as I see that I've created a quite distance between us I turn and start running helter skelter.
