I end up following it all the way to a cave and follow it in, stalking it like a lion would a zebra. I follow it to the back of the cave as it tries to nurture its tail and hide from me but it could feel my blood drive and desire to kill, knowing it's end was inevitable, it came out to challenge me. "Good, you aren't a coward. Now it's time for one of us to die." It clicks in response and rushes me, losing it's fear of the knife and only hoping to get away alive as I rush it, aiming to plunge the blade into its chest. It pushed the blade away and tackled me to the ground, starting to crush my throat and pinning my knife hand to the ground with its foot. I twirl the blade in my hand and stab it, along with a little of myself, as it screeches once more as it jumps off of me and I quickly stand up, lunging at it. I successfully slash its chest but it wasn't a deep cut, allowing the creature to continue to fight. It's claws come out and slashes my chest as I gasp and cough up some blood, but in slashing my chest it made a grave mistake as I noticed it became dazed. I take the chance to walk up to it and stab its side causing it to squeal and move away to the wall. I walk up to it and stare at it, "Time for you to die," was the final cold phrase it heard as I plunged the knife into its head and, in turn, killing it. I drop to the floor as the adrenaline in my body started to die down and the real pain kicked in. Realizing I've lost a lot of blood and soon end up passing out.

After some time I start coming too again, my body felt heavy and beaten as I start sitting up and hear a familiar voice, "Take it easy... you might hurt yourself more," it was Jewlian's voice.

With an internal groan I keep my eyes shut and respond promptly, "How long was I out?"

"About six hours, it's dawn now."

"And the creature?"

"What creature?"

I curse myself, not realizing that something else had to have raised it, that being its mother. Jewlian tilts her head confused, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, just... forget what I said."

"O-okay... hey... listen about-"

"Jewlian, I don't want to hear it."

"You're right... sorry." I had felt a little bad for shutting her down like that but I really didn't want to hear her excuses and what she had to say, I just wanted silence, I wanted to die.
