Chapter 7
A twig snapped in the woods behind Zimed and Claira. They both stopped and Zimed turned around to inspect what made the noise. He had this feeling of being watched recently and this only increased his suspicions. He looked around, but saw nothing in the dark shadows of the woods. Deciding nothing was there he turned back around and they continued walking.
"What was that?" Claira asked, getting a bit worried.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it," Zimed said, trying not to worry Claira.
Zimed just knew something was up. He couldn't stop thinking about. He wondered why there was this feeling of being watched? What was this about? If someone was following him why? Questions like these filled his head.
There was another twig snap. Zimed immediately turn around. But this time he saw a shadow move quickly behind a tree. He was able to tell that it was from a human. It was almost as tall as him... Maybe taller. Zimed's eyes turned yellow then red.
"Claira! Run home! Now!" Zimed yelled, still staring at the tree the shadow went behind with his red eyes. She hesitated a moment. "Now!" Zimed yelled, not wanting a chance for Claira to get hurt. She looked at Zimed and then took off toward her house.
"Alright come out who ever you are. Stop playing this game. It's not funny," Zimed said, his anger growing.
Another twig snap. He glared at the tree. Deciding the best idea was to make sure Claira was safe, he darted into the direction Claira went.
