Chapter 32

Lunging myself toward the crack, I found myself barely fitting inside it, but it seemed like I had done enough to survive.

The keyword in this sentence being 'seemed'.

*Crunch*

I thought that I had stopped hearing the footsteps of the creature, and I was right.

I thought that I had escaped from the monstrosity that had been following me, and I would have been right to think so.

The footsteps had stopped... That should have been a good sign, right? The fact that it might have just stopped and simply given up on me... It made me feel a sense of relief.

Who would have known that not looking back would have been my biggest mistake so far?

Right the crunching sound had reached my ears, I felt a warm steamy sensation envelop my arm from the elbow down.

I could almost feel the moisture within the air that had enveloped it.

It was cool, yet at the same time hot and steamy.

It was wet and even felt bad to be around, yet at the same time, it felt comfortable.

Of course, that was only the case until the pain had kicked in.

Within a split second, before the pain had hit, I stepped back and out of range and simultaneously out of the cave.

It was only then that I was given the chance to look down because, for some strange reason, my arm felt light, almost too light.

A warm sensation pulsed out of it while I could almost feel my heart rate through the pulsing heat that came from it.

When I had finally taken a proper look at my arm, I could immediately see what was wrong. It made me almost question why I hadn't thought of the possibility earlier...

Of course, that was only until the pain had kicked in.
