Chapter 30

'Sh*t!' Without thinking twice, I ran towards the other end of the cave where I had seen cracks in the walls which I could only hope would have been large enough for me to fit through.

*Thump* *Thump*

Its footsteps were getting closer...

The dreaded feeling was now overcoming me like no other.

I could feel it...

It was imminent death standing barely a few dozen meters away from me.

Looking up, I saw that the crack would have probably been big enough for me to fit through if I were to squeeze myself in, but there was one problem that I had to face before reaching it.

It was too far away.

My heart was now racing, pumping adrenaline throughout my entire body.

If I were to fail this task, it would mean the end for me.

Not daring to look back at the monstrosity that was about to enter its cave, the same cave I had accidentally infiltrated, I quickly jumped towards the edge of one rock before swiftly catapulting myself to the other.

*Thump Thump* *Thump Thump*

That was no longer the sound of the footsteps getting closer. That was the sound of my heart beating loudly like a drum.

In the split second where I had jumped, my hand had moved with lighting reflex and had gripped onto the thin ledge.

*ROAR!*

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

I could hear the thing get closer...

My heart was now beating loudly, to the point where it had almost deafened my ears from the skin-crawling roar that the thing had released.
