That Destined Day
Chapter: 02

She turned around at the sound of the water splashing behind her but there was nothing in sight. She resumed her search. She didn't want anyone to see her without her mask.

She again heard the splashing but before she could turn around, something wrapped around her leg dragging her through the water.

She yelped and tried to hold onto something to balance herself and clearly see what was dragging her. She grabbed the root of a tree when she got near enough to the corner of the pond. She turned her head, to see a hideous creature baring it's crooked teeth with its long slithering tongue twirling around her ankle.

Her eyes widened in shock. She had never seen anything like that. It didn't looked like any of the animals she had seen.

She knew she had to get out of its grip or she wouldn't get to see the sun of the next day. She held the root as tightly as she could then used her free leg to kick the tongue holding her.

She did it multiple time with all her might but the creature wouldn't let go. It started letting out weird noises when she hit the tongue but it still wouldn't loose it's vice grip on her leg.

That creature had four legs, however, it was crouching by the shore on its hind legs with the front ones raised. It looked uncomfortably unusual but the creature somehow managed to do it.

She tried pulling the tongue so that the creature would let go or loose it's grip a little but it didn't. It again produced a weird sound and the next second, it exerted a large amount of force and pulled. The root snapped.

She was again being dragged closer to the hideous mouth of the creature with every single second that passed. Her mind was running around to come up with anything that could save her life at the moment but the situation didn't look to be in her favor.

Then just as she reached the creature and it was about to bite her leg off, she remembered the broken root in her hand. She closed her eyes and pointed the sharp tip at the creature's head. She made use of the speed at which she was being dragged at to pierce it in the creature's head as hard as she could.

CRACK.

The twig broke into two.
