just before reaching it that same scream came from right behind me before something crashed into me from behind sending me flying through the tree-line on to my face i slowly and wearily pushed myself off the ground and turned over looking at where i had come from

what i saw was something that can't be explained by any scientific or rational means a mouth that housed rows of knife-like teeth below a jaw covered in grey skin littered with scars with what looked like both dried and fresh drops of blood running down from the teeth I instinctively grabbed the rifle, which was resting on my stomach due to the sling keeping it attached to me.

Without hesitation, the rifle was raised and aimed, center of mass. Though I could only see this mouth, I knew roughly where its body would be. Part of me wanted to shoot at where I suspected the rest of the face would be. However, I knew my training wasn't useless, more surface area on the body rather than the head.

i placed my finger on the trigger however as if something were whispering in my ear an outside force told me that pulling the trigger back would be a mistake i looked up from the scope at a pair of now visible black holes i believed were its eyes and shouted What the hell are you? A smile crept across the creature's face before it spoke, death. I fired. I fired three rounds, center of mass.

I looked up from the scope and saw nothing. The face that had been less than 15 meters away was gone, which gave me more fear than relief. I got to my feet, and with my rifle raised, I slowly walked towards where I thought I'd find a corpse. I moved the branches of the trees and saw a black fluid on the leaves, but no body.

As I realized the worst-case scenario was a reality, it wasn't dead, another scream from the creature came from deeper in the woods, followed by the snapping of branches and heavy, spaced-apart footsteps. The sounds were all around me, as if it was running circles around the clearing, waiting for the opportunity to ambush and kill me.

I blindly fired at points where I thought the creature would be, only to hear, K, help me, followed by the scream. I realized that in this situation, I had no chance of survival. Panic set in. Slowly, I began to look around. I saw where I originally came from and started moving towards it in a sprint, adrenaline pumping and heart racing.

I ran through shrubs, allowing the branches of trees to attack my body. I smashed my shoulder into a tree. Pain engulfed my shoulder, but I didn't care. I focused on survival, and adrenaline kept me running. Once I reached the overturned tree, I made contact with something solid. I felt it shift and shuffled away in panic before realizing it was Jess.

She was holding her head and slowly sitting up. "'Jesus, what's wrong with you?' she groaned.
