Chapter 387: 387-Lost The Key

Clementine:

His thin, tall body leaned forward, his head stretched up like a long pole with empty lines where his face should have been.

His arms hung low, but I could tell, even without his face, that he was looking at me.

I was sprinting toward him, and he was moving toward me with long strides.

His steps began to grow quicker, and the vibrations struck me harder.

He lurched forward suddenly. One long arm swung down toward me.

I ducked fast, his fingers brushing the back of my head, barely scraping my hair, but I felt it.

If I had not been quick, even by a second, he would have knocked me down or grabbed me in his fist.

The force of the swing pushed me farther, almost knocking me off balance, but I stayed up.

I kept moving, running hard. He bent low as if he wanted to pick me off the road.

I slid between his long legs before he could reach me.

Soon, I was running between his legs and coming out behind him.

Taking a short pause would have meant getting struck by him.

So I kept running, pushing myself forward until I finally felt like I could turn around.

After five minutes of sprinting, I stopped and turned back.

I saw that the tall monster was still coming after me. However, he was far behind because he could not sprint.

At this point, I realized that if I wanted to leave him behind, I needed to step out of his path.

Once I disappeared, I did not think he would look for me. So I did just that.

I began to move ahead at a quick pace and planned to search for the woods.

I did not have to think long. I spotted the outline of the trees in the distance and relief washed over me.

I turned left and hurried toward them. When I reached them, I hid behind a tree.

I noticed that the tall monster stopped briefly before he turned around and wandered away.

Relief filled me and I stepped out from behind the tree. Now I had to find the exact place where a gate to the other side would open.

Before I could pull out my map, I heard a chittering echo around me.

Something large flew above the trees. I saw one of them through the leaves.

It looked like a huge bat with long arms. I crouched low under a fallen log.

The bat swooped over me and vanished into the darkness.

"What the fuck is that now?" I groaned, complaining.

It felt as if the dark side of the north was filled with these things.

I began to wonder if this was where they all lived and sometimes slipped through the opening and reached the other side of the north.
