Suddenly a monster emerged from the depths of the purple poison. Burbling and bubbling the thing came from the "waters" covered in what looked like viscous slime, dripping off like acid and reveling a dark wolf underneath. A rattling replaced everything the river was doing and Glitch instantly felt cold and frozen, fear and anxiety overtook him and he couldn't move, his teeth chattered and clicked together as he shuddered with fear.

Silver saucers stared at him with yellowed fangs bearing a smile that shook him to the core, it riveled anything the scientists had ever thrown at him, his voice dripped with malice and playful dangers as he spoke in an unknown language that forced his fur to stand on end and tingle.

In the direction he felt the pull he felt warmth radiating towards his chilly core. He felt like whatever was pulling his could protect him, so the boy started slowly scootching his way towards the feeling way, never taking his eyes off the demon wolf.

You can’t let him beat you there. Run. Echoed in his brain and he hopped to his toes, whipping his head around as if searching for the voice as if his life depended on it, then he focused back on the demon chain thing...

Before he could see the snapping jowls of the beast he had turned to run...

And he ran...

The boy ran as if his life depended on it, which it seemed too, and he took off in the direction of the warmth. Not daring to turn his head and look behind him he ran faster than he ever had before in his life, faster than he had from the scientists...

His chest burned, it ached and pulled as he panted, his tongue lolling as he continued to race towards the radiating heat of the unknown.
