Take It Back

Alex stayed stunned for a moment. He looked around, trying to think of what to do. The panic he was feeling didn't help much in thinking either.

'Should I run? Should I hide? Or should I stay?' Alex thought.

He was perhaps in the best location he could be in if he didn't want people to get hurt in the process. 

It wasn't just the saint beasts that were going to be a problem, but the other beasts that would come attack too.

Especially in the direction where he was in.

'I can't go back to mother. I will only implicate her in all of this,' Alex thought.

Finally, he decided to stay. Neither running, nor hiding would ever get him out of trouble if a Saint beast was dead set on finding you.

He could've escaped if the beast didn't know his face, but they clearly knew who to look for this time around.

'No running,' he thought to himself and put on a resolute face to wait for whoever came to him.
