Harvey POV I didn't trust my balance way up in the trees, so I climbed down to the bottom and sat on a low branch. I scooped water into my canteen and added iodine. I swung my feet in the water and nibbled dried fruit while I waited for the water to be ready. Suddenly the water exploded. I jerked backwards as a horrible gray shape holding together rows and rows of teeth snapped at my feet. I barely knew to grab my canteen as I fled up the branch and climbed the trunk. I wrapped my arms around the tree and sat frozen as I looked down. The monster sank back into the water but kept its head above the surface. It had to be a crocodile, but it looked more like a horrible dragon. Its gray scales were thick and jagged, and its eyes were solid black. Worst of all, I saw something in those eyes.
