The bullet flew right past my ear, and I turned and ran to the edge of the ravine, preparing to jump into the waters below, when something slammed into me from the side.
The impact knocked all the air from my lungs. I felt my feet leave the ground, and suddenly I was flying through the air like a rag doll. I crashed into a thick thicket of bushes, branches scratching my arms and face as I tumbled through them.
I groaned and tried to sit up, tangled in the thorny branches, to see what had happened to me. When I finally managed to turn my head, I froze when I saw it.
The monster from yesterday stood there. The same terrifying creature that had flung a man across the room like it was nothing was now standing a few feet away. Its amber eyes glowed like fire under the early morning sun, and it was looking at me.
The gunmen had stopped moving. All three of them just stood there, staring at the creature with their mouths hanging open. Their guns hung loose in their hands, forgotten.
