Breakthrough

"Fuck!"

I cursed, seeing one of Grimm turning toward me and a moment later, the other two with the grin on their faces.

I was really unlucky, I had been near a formation, that was releasing the energy, which was to reduce the power of the stealth. They were also less than a mile away from me.

They looked at me, and I looked at them. We looked at each other for a couple of seconds. 

Four and a half seconds later, they moved toward me, and I also moved, but instead of moving forward, I retreated.

There are now two options in front of me. 

Either retreat all the way and I could do that. Unlike them, I had already crossed the way and quickly moved through it, despite being weaker and slower than them.

Though the option comes with obvious risks; I may be able to leave it behind. If they followed me all the way back, the I would be in deep trouble, despite the lead I have.
