CHAPTER 1
Kelvin stood gasping for breath. His muscles ached and all he could see around was dark woods filled with dark fogs and huge thick trees with envelope branches , branching out in all directions. He winced and took a knee. The ache in his side felt like a stab wound. His heart pounded against his rib cage as if it would burst from his chest at any moment. How long had he been running? The cold air stung his throat when he swallowed; he needed water. Kelvin looked back to see if he had out ran his predator. Kelvin knew for certain that wherever he was, it was far from home.
He heard a noise in the woods, he knew for sure that it was his predator.
kelvin looked for a weapon, a stick or rock—something to protect himself—but it was getting too dark to see anything clearly. Luckily he was able to get hold of a stick.
Blackbirds scattered from the treetops, fleeing their nests. The footsteps were moving closer. It was circling him; he could hear it moving from all directions. His eyes shifted from side to side trying to catch a glimpse of his pursuer. Kelvin's heartbeat hammered his insides. The sound was deafening. His feet scuffled over the ground, failing him, causing him to stumble and stop. He stood frozen as he watched the last glimmer of moonlight vanish, stifled by a sea of dark clouds.
Despair seeped through his veins like a slow-moving poison, choking out any hope from within. The darkness had become so impenetrable he could not see his own hands in front of him. Loud stomping, like a gallop, came ever closer, striking the ground with a deadly force.
It was just beyond the tree line now. He could feel it; he could feel its presence closing in on him, and that’s when he saw it.
Kelvin stopped breathing and his whole body felt numb on seeing the beast in shadows. The beast was huge and looked like a lion. The area around them was bathed in a pale red hue that glowed in the moonlight.
Kelvin tried to swallow, but his tongue felt too rough like sandpaper. He wanted to back away, run, but could not move. Frozen like one of those silver or golden statue trophy given to athletes on tv, As the beast emerged from the shadows, It no longer looked like a like a lion rather it looked like a lion with horns and four eyes. It had unnaturally long fangs and height which a lion doesn't have. The beast moved swiftly and smooth like a cheetah timing its prey, The beast jumped high into the air coming to eat him, kelvin being unable to move from fear which overwhelmed him screamed aloud and woke up to actually discover he had been in a dream all along.
His mother looking worried rushed into his room, seeing him panting and sweating.
