Jordan, what is it?” “We have to get out of here!” He replied breathlessly. “It’s not safe sitting on all of these flowers.” “Why n-“ I paused mid sentence as I noticed there was a giant ten foot worm sliding it’s way towards us. It was huge. “Um, Jordan-“ I felt his shoulders tense up as he started to run faster. “Please tell me you just forgot what you were about to say? And that there’s not a monster running after us right now.” “I can’t exactly say yes to both of those things.” I heard him curse under his breath. I looked over to where he was running to. We were almost there, it was just half a yard between us now. “Are we gonna be safe over there?” I referred to the open space. “The flowers are like a power source for the worm. The longer we’re over here the stronger he gets, more dangerously the longer he can sit and wait for an opportunity.” “Of what exactly?” “To prey on us Hayden. A few moments more and he could’ve bitten your legs off.” I felt him tense up again. “Fuck! I hope we make it. How close is it?” I looked back and saw the worm inching closer in steps but it was still far away. “Getting pretty damn close, but still too far to bite my head off.” “There’s not a way in hell I’d let that happen!” “Jordan! JORDAN!!”
