He quickly grabbed her waist with one hand to stop her from running ahead and put another on her mouth preventing her from making any sound.
"Mmff..." Leticia was startled being grabbed by him so suddenly and let out some muffled sounds.
"Quiet! There is a beast near the waterfall." Max warned in a low voice.
They were around two hundred meters away from the waterfall. Although they couldn't see it because there were many tall and thick trees blocking their sight, Max could still hear another sound of some animal drinking water apart from the sound of water falling thanks to his hightened senses and his cautious nature.
Hearing this Leticia held her breath and stopped making any sound.
*Snarl*
"Fuck!" Max cursed when he heard the beast snarling in their direction. He knew that they have been discovered.
He quickly carried Leticia in his arms and ran in opposite direction.
