A Deadly Trap (3)

Shi Rong clicked her tongue as she lunged from the tree tackling Xia Lingxiao away from the small baby horse.

It turned in their direction wagging its tail as it beamed and wailed happily at Shi Rong and Xia Lingxiao. It began running in their direction but clumsily tripped over its front legs rolling onto the ground landing on its face.

Xia Lingxiao's heart clenched as he stared at the small creature. He tried his hardest to wrestle from Shi Rongs grip but proved to be of no avail.

The small creature looked in their direction turning its small ears to the side. It's ears drooped in an adorable manner as it smiled happily. Its giant teeth extending under its small lips as it neighed and waield happily.

It sneezed rustling its mane.

Xia Lingxiao tried to scramble free once more but stopped once he heard the creature sneeze. He turned his attention towards the small horse to see the same black residue dripping and bubbling from its nose.

It neighed loudly as it crawled to its feet as its body grew.

Its small and cute stature became large and rugid. The creatures body extended into a giant dark brown horse. His small face stretched and morphed into that of a dark grey dragons head. His mouth stretched and opened wide as drool dripped from its mouth over its sharp teeth and forked tongue. Large whiskers extended from its face extending down towards its front legs. Large horned ears stretched from its head as a long snake tail extended from its back. Large dark red horns protruded from its back and hind legs giving the creature and even more frightening look.

It lowered its head down towards Xia Lingxiao staring him in the ear. Xia Lingxiao looked up in horror as the creatures eye was larger than his entire head.

He watched as its large pupil moved around in a circle before finally landing on him and shrinking slightly.

It growled pulling its large scaly lips back over its sharp teeth as fresh drool and black venom dripped from its mouth.

Shi Rong and Xia Lingxiao both screamed as they rolled away from the large creature. It growled loudly nearly shaking the forest with every step as it chased after the rolling siblings threatening to crush them beneath its feet as they desperately tried to roll faster and further away.

Shi Rong slumped her body closer to Xia Lingxiao as she pulled him closed to her body with every roll. She extended and broadened her shoulders to absorb the impact from the rocks and sticks emerging from the ground as they rolled allowing small cuts and bruises to appear on her arms as her blood red robes slipped from her body leaving her in a short white sleeveless dress.

The bumped into the bottom of a tree quickly separating from each other. She grabbed Xia Lingxiao by his shoulder throwing him into the tree.
