36. Cave

I was caught and crashed on the floor. I thought the monster got me, and real terror gripped me. But when I turned around, I realized it was Henry who had latched onto me, and to my horror, I saw that it was Henry's leg that was enclosed in the monster's elongated snout.

He kicked the strange, gigantic deer with all his might, but it did neither let go of him nor did he let go of me.

"Let go!" I kicked him as well while we were dragged away by the monster.

The next moment, I felt a knife slicing through one of my calves, and I nearly screamed out in pain. Looking back at Henry, I noticed that he had rammed a knife into my leg.

"You are coming with me!" He yelled at me while the monster took on speed, galloping backward.

Fuck! I thrashed around and hit Henry on the head a few times before my second leg was punctured by him. All the while, rocks and roots got me injured as well.
