Clementine:
The creature threw its head back and shrieked. The sound was extremely loud.
I kept staring at it, and then it hit me again, the north, the tapes, everything.
Rage built inside me as I remembered all the crusaders we had lost and the terrible deaths the ringleaders and pack members had watched.
They could have sent help, but they did not. And now they were asking us to save them.
Something snapped in me. If they wanted a show, I would give them a show.
I grabbed my sword and ran.
"What are you doing, Clementine?" Joshua yelled after me, but I had already jumped into the water again.
I did hear him jump in after me.
This time I swam straight toward the monster.
The creature roared when it saw me coming. It moved around, then opened its mouth wide to swallow me.
If it thought that would stop me, it was wrong. I reached the opening, and Joshua came right behind me.
That was when we entered the monster's mouth.
