Chapter 4

When I awoke, the campfire already burnt out. I destroyed the fireplace to make sure nobody would suspect me being around here. Then I started to walk around the island, thinking of a plan to eradicade these creatures more quickly and finish the mission. I stopped when I heard a rumble and the ground began to shake.
Earthquake, move to an open area!

I hurried out of the forest and to the beach.
Dammit, now there are footprints now. So much for not being noticed.

The rumble got stronger, as if the earthquake was chasing me. I let adrenaline flow through my body and watched my surroundings carefully, especially the ground. Suddenly the Sand under me sunk, I quickly jumped away from it and landed flat on the beach. There seemed to be a muffled roar. After getting up, I noticed that the earthquake had stopped.

Later that day I found some more creatures. They were really small and therefore easy to hunt down. Their corpses had noting worth using for me, so I used them as food supply. Since I hadn't found a way to make a fire or roast them on a hot stone I was left no choice but to eat them raw.
Bah, they tasted bad. But at least they fill the stomach.

I had just finished the last one of these creatures when I heard the rumble again.
Whatever it is, it's coming for me. Again.

I once more ran to a more or less open field and waited for the beast to show up. I knelt down, trying to use the vibrations in the ground and my hearing to locate this thing. After a few moments it turned up right in front of me. It looked like an orb with a tail. It had some tiny wings that I could barely see, but hear by the flapping. It's eyes were grey. Most likely it's blind. It's tail was much longer than the one I had stolen.

The beast screamed at me.
That thing had multiple rows of teeth. It uses them to dig.
I quickly fired a spine into it's throat. It didn't even touch the teeth and made first contact in the tail, where it entered the flesh and created a really deep wound. Crying out in pain only made it worse for this beast. It spat blood on me and began descending to the ground where I already waited. With a vicous, yet majestic swing I split it in half, ending it's torment.

I inspected the body, searching for anything that I could use. The tail was too long and there for not practical. The wings were small, but still able to lift that thing into the air. Then again there was hardly any weight to it. The eyes - why am I even thinking about this? That only left the teeth.

I pulled out one of the smaller circles of teeth and placed them behind my own ones. Then I picked up a boulder that just lied around, most likely from the thing erupting out of the ground. I shoved the rock into my mouth and chewed on it a while. Then I spat out some pebbles.
Does that thing eat rocks? How does it build tunnels that fast? where does the earth that it eats go?

I went back to the corpse and took a closer look. I noticed that it had two slits on the left and right side of the back of it's head.
Hmm... That is indeed interesting.

Today I slept in the tunnels that the beast created. It wasn't as warm as the campfire the last time but at least I got some kind of roof over my head.
