Chapter 14

For a few minutes, I ran through the forest, enjoying the one thing my life had been building up to. I closed my eyes, as I felt the breeze blow against my face. Finally, it had happened. I was in the outside world.

I quickly stopped running, as a thought had entered my mind.

The tracking implant. It was still in my body, and the humans could find me at any moment unless I somehow figured out how to remove it.

I didn't need to think through this one, or come up with a genius plan. You don't have to be smart to know the only way to remove the tracking device is not a very nice one.

I remembered where they had injected it in. I twisted my neck around, trying to see the location it was put in.

It was on my left side, in the middle of three scutes. Nervously, I raised up my arm, and gently placed my claws onto my torso, feeling the cold tips on my scales. I felt a huge lump form in my throat, as I grimaced, preparing myself for the impending pain I was about to suffer.

Make it quick. You won't suffer if you do it fast.

In a flash, I dug my nails into my white skin. I felt blood quickly bubble out, and I snarled as I curled my fingers around inside my body, grabbing a chunk of flesh with a cold metal device in the mix. I ripped of the chunk out of my huge body, and let it fall to the floor. A slightly painful sensation pulsed around my torso, but I ignored it.

I can attract more humans with this tracker. They'll walk right into my jaws...

I went into the trees, peering through them so I'd have a good view of the piece of flesh.

5 minutes later

A large group of humans appeared, looking around fearfully. I moved in towards them, slowly.

One of them was looking at its wrist, were tiny drops of blood were dripping onto. They must have gotten onto the leaves of a tree as it brushed past my wound, and were now falling onto his arm.

I finally revealed myself, glaring at the group as they all looked up horror.

'It can camouflage!' One exclaimed.

It began to run from me, but without even moving towards it, I grabbed it in my hand and lifted it from the ground.

The others immediately raised their weapons and began shooting these unnatural objects at me. In my fury, I threw the man I was holding to the ground, onto a small puddle of water. I stomped my foot onto it, and crushed it without mercy.

As the others carried on their attack, one foolishly walked too close to me. I slammed my tail against his torso, and he flew into a tree, breaking his delicate back.

I grabbed another of the humans by the head and threw him up into the air.

When you are attacked by multiple humans killing them becomes so much more fun.

I roared in victory, but without warning, another one of them shot a net at me. It wrapped around my mouth, and I stumbled around, snorting in annoyance. The humans moved away from me instinctively.

I used my arms and ripped off the net. I opened my jaws as wide as I could, and screeched ear-piercingly loud. I grabbed an unlucky human in my jaws, raised my head above some branches, and shook it apart. A myriad of small droplets of blood fell onto the forest floor.

I felt sharp pain on my head. I turned to see another human shooting me, and I ran towards him, my jaws gaping open. I shut my jaws around his torso, and tore him in half, enjoying the sound of his muscles and bones being ripped.

I saw two humans desperately trying to drag one of their wounded away from me.

I grinned at them, and their eyes widened in fear, knowing they stood no chance.

I raised my foot, and crushed them all under it. As I raised it up away from their bodies, I saw nothing but the smashed bodies of three unrecognizable creatures.

Proud of my work, I turned away, and lumbered further into the forest.
