Avery’s pov

Kaylee grips my arm, her hold firm as if to tell me to keep quiet without having to say it out loud. I nod, silently telling her that I understand and look around frantically for a weapon or something to use against the bastard that loomed at the entrance of the cave.

I could spot nothing in this kind of darkness and could only spot rocks and dirt.

The man’s shadow looms like a damn bully as he steps forward into the cave and my heart pounds into my chest.

He whistles low, the air whipping inside the cave tauntingly. Shivers of fear race on my skin, revealing themselves as goosebumps on my flesh.

“Come out, come out wherever you are,” he taunts, his hand going behind him and pulling out an arrow from behind him.

His childish taunting got on my nerves and I fisted my hands. We couldn’t stay here forever, he’d find us sooner than later. Eventually, he will spot us if he keeps walking further into the cave.
