Chapter 14: Die or die
Noctis ran aimlessly through the woods. Knocking into shrubs and scrunching on dry leaves unable to keep his composure under the stress.
No matter how hard he tried to lose the pack by changing direction and blending in, they caught up.
It wasn’t the smell that they were tracking as he had just came out of the water, so what was it?
While running he suddenly noticed a hound coming from his sides.
’Shit’
He rolled to evade the bite. Standing up he changed his direction and started running once again.
The whole pack was so well co-ordinated Noctis didn’t get any chances to break their formations and maybe intimidate them into scattering.
But the chances looked bleak.
Large number also meant they could just starve him if took camp on a tall tree as he still needed to get down if he needed to eat anything.
Noctis was panting heavily now. His feet hurt from the constant running and jumping. Since he hadn’t eaten in the whole day, his energy reserves were also bottomed out.
’I’m dead.’
