CHAPTER 14: The Intruder ...... (Your review here)
As Nick slept under his cover of leaves, the monkeys kept their silent vigil.
It was about two hours later that one of their lookouts spotted the intruder, slowly making its way to where Nick had concealed himself. Whatever it was, it moved like a killer. That's what the monkeys feared the most. The jungle was full of various hunters—each one able to kill in so many horrible ways.
Well hidden, at this particular point in time the furthest thing from Nick's mind was any kind of trouble. This is why he had allowed himself to fall asleep.
Regardless of whatever plan Nick had in mind, or how many branches he had piled on top of himself, quietly the intruder moved forward—closer and closer to where Nick slept. Several of the monkeys climbed higher to escape what was about to happen.
Stopping just an arm's length away, the intruder slowly reached out until contact was made.
Faster than the speed of light, from the very core of his most inner being a bolt of terror raced through Nick's soul, almost killing him from fright—right then and there.
The intruder quickly spoke, "Nick, it's me, Rama. Hurry, wake up—don't make any noise—you're in danger!"
