"Fuck this." Leon stumbled back, the gravel beneath his boots threatening to give way and deliver him to the creatures.
"There has to be another way…" His muffled voice echoed like a blast in his ears.
The more creatures crowded his front, occupying the space, the more the echo of his voice vibrated through the walls and sent dust drifting down to the ground.
Before he could figure out the path he wished for, two of the ironhide turned toward the direction where he stood, their teeth grinding.
'No! No!! No!!!' His eyes blazed as the temperature in his body increased, a tiny gold light moving across his eyeballs, glittering.
With lightning speed, the two creatures detached themselves from the pack, their tails whipping the air.
Leon ran back, his boots slamming hard against the ground, without knowing where he was heading.
He stumbled, hit the ground, and rolled like a ball, then crashed against a thick wall that hadn't been there at first.
