Everything went abruptly silent. Sounds of the monsters wrestling stopped.830Please respect copyright.PENANAappapU88Yl
'Shit.' Rat thought.830Please respect copyright.PENANAUICx2AbFfh
'They heard me!'.830Please respect copyright.PENANAQI8Gz3y7Lb
A few seconds passed and now he could hear the creatures sniffing. They're going to follow his scent. Of course some fresh human boy meat is more important than whatever was going on between them.830Please respect copyright.PENANAOfKnGS0kNI
The boy is frozen in fear. There is no way out.830Please respect copyright.PENANAupsbnGfNP8
He looks around frantically, eyes searching frantically for something. Anything.830Please respect copyright.PENANAOeBk0WZycV
It's no use. Only rubble surrounding him.830Please respect copyright.PENANALCXKPlUqU6
The only thing separating him from a violent end is a decaying concrete wall, and Rat already witnessed the effectiveness of those against the monsters' brute force.830Please respect copyright.PENANAY7S0OQYrvq
The brutish snarling behemoths are closings the gap. Their pace surprisingly slow, their steps freakishly quiet. They went from berserk-wrestling mode to full on predator mode.830Please respect copyright.PENANAxN2KVtQ0nG
From a distance Rat wasn't able to determine exactly how big they were, but as they closed in on the other side of the wall that sheltered him, the shadows of their monstrous heads, necks and shoulders started to fall over Rat, until eventually the shade of their muscly torsos loomed on front of Rat.830Please respect copyright.PENANAjkcAVnrVwm
'They must be more than three meter tall.' Rat choked a little. A step forward and they will be able to just look down and see him.830Please respect copyright.PENANAu4BaTB8bAz
The shadow stopped moving. The creature that cast it sniffing for a moment and then makes a blood curdling guttural noise. It's volume low, but just as foreboding.830Please respect copyright.PENANAXxcNa1hpNN
It was then that the other creature answered.830Please respect copyright.PENANAh18bvyuUxf
A sharp shiver climbed up Rat's spine as he looked to the side.830Please respect copyright.PENANAAmRl3UqgbW
The head of the other monster peeked from the side of the wall.830Please respect copyright.PENANAisrLhVYVee
He couldn't help but breath in sharply at the sight.830Please respect copyright.PENANAvgfbYkzj0r
The head turned sharply to him.830Please respect copyright.PENANAt6uhAUMFuz
Bloodshot glowing yellow eyes stared at him as the creature growled.
