Clementine:
I had almost stopped breathing. I watched the creature come out the same way as the other one, head down and sniffing across the ground. This time, it was headed straight toward me. I knew I had to move, but I had a terrible feeling that the moment I did, it would know I was there.
Carefully, I shifted my weight. My leg was half-raised, and I was balanced on the tip of my foot. I slowly placed it down, but the rough ground made a faint sound under the pressure. I held my breath. The creature lifted its head, as if trying to locate where the noise had come from.
I began to slide my front foot back, hoping to step away as quietly as possible. But it was getting harder, because the creature was moving fast, and I was trying not to make a sound.
That's when someone came to the rescue.
