Alex saw the creatures ignoring the bunched up, bloody tape he had thrown. He grunted as he began to quicken his pace, “Either these things go on movement of they have some type of intelligence. Either way f I don’t shake these creatures I’m going to be dinner.” Alex began to swerve and weave through the trees to see if the creatures would follow. Maybe some will get confused and hit a few of the trees. Alex thought.

It might have been only a few seconds, but to Alex it felt like hours before he reached the castle. To his surprise there were others in the forest and to his horror they too were also being chased by these creatures. He looked up at the castle and the eerie silence coming from it. He took a deep breath and screamed, “Hey! Whoever is in the castle? Could you lend a hand please? Some of us can’t use magic yet! Maybe send down your elemental or something!” he hoped it would work; if not he’d be seeing his grandmother and little brother very soon.
