The+Hunter(8)

The hunter thought that searching for salvation would be smarter. He could still feel the dizziness of hunger gripping him. Also, the hill might not even be dry enough for him to climb yet. He turned right, and ran deeper into the woods.

The fire must have gone out by now, and the hunter didn't know if the animal had any kind of tracking skills. After all, it was a creature he had never heard about before. Its horns were rough, almost jagged. No animal had razor-sharp horns...At least, not that he knew about. The way they were curved meant guaranteed sturdiness. There was no way he could break them. He needed food, a weapon, and shelter.

The hunter had been running for about 5 minutes straight into darker and thicker trees...He hadn't heard any signs of the monster following him. Yet.

As he stopped to take a break, he looked around. He couldnt even remember where he came from. The ground was dry, and there was a large amount of grass obscuring his footsteps. The hunter was satisfied. He'd rather die wandering around the forest than in the jaws of that monster.

================================================= fter setting up my position, and thinking that there was no way it would get up here without me seeing it, i realized there was a small cave behind me, i didnt know where it led to, but it could potentially be a spot for it to get behind me. i didnt want that to happen, so i covered it with branches, which probably wouldnt do much against it, but it was all i could find to block off the entrance to the cave. and now all i could do was wait for it to find me, unless it already had found me. then i would have to get in the right position to shoot it. and if it got to close, i would stand no chance because i was using a rifle, it was no good at close range, so the shot had to be made right when it entered the clearing. the clearing was about 400 meters wide, so i would have some time to line up my shot. it was getting dark and i was afraid i would fall asleep. if that happened i would miss my only chance to finish this thing off. just as i was about to fall asleep, i saw something come running into the clearing, i aimed down my sights, and held my breath. i was just waiting for the right time to shoot....
