Alex slumped onto the ground once he saw the wolf die. As soon as he sat, he started to vomit out blood. It didn't look as bad on the outside, but the attack on his chest had left a hemorrhage inside.
His head was burning with intense pain, and he could barely move his left arm. The blood from his head had once more covered his eyes, but he didn't have the strength to wipe it off this time.
"Thank You," he heard a voice in his head.
'Am I hallucinating?' he thought. 'Is this what being close to death feels like? Full of pain and hallucinations.'
"Thank you for saving my child." He heard the voice once more.
His eyes immediately opened as he looked towards the cat monster. Its eyes had lost their clarity and started to get groggy, but it was still very much looking at him.
"Did you just talk?" he asked, biting through his pain.
