The Beast

Although it was quiet all around, I felt that the owner of the silver light was still there.

If the other party didn't want me to die, they must ensure that I lived.

I thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

I was still wandering around the trees, seemingly looking for a way out.

Creak! I stepped on a dead branch, making a loud sound in the quiet forest.

"Ah!"

I screamed as if I was frightened by the sound. I took two quick steps and accidentally tripped over a stone, falling directly to a tree on the side.

My head suddenly hit the thick tree trunk, making a muffled sound, and I fell straight down.

My face was stuck to a pile of dead leaves, and I could smell the wet and musky smell of the soil. My hands were limply hanging on both sides of my body as if I had fainted and died.

One, two, three, ten, eleven...

I counted in my heart. Finally, I heard light footsteps from the ground.

There was indeed someone!
