CAGED

EPISODE SIX

The beast started towards him, reaching out to lay its heavy fist on Jade. Just before the beast crashed into him, he got a hold of himself and swiftly moved to the left, narrowly missing the fatal blow. A fat heavy tail followed up what the fist had missed, swiping him off the floor and dashing him against the wall.

"Auch!" Jade whimpered in pain. He collapsed to the floor, his arms wrapped around his aching ribs.

He could hear the beast approaching him again and he looked up just in time to miss a blow targeted right at his face. The big fist went crashing into the wall, making a big hole in it. The beast growled in anger, green saliva drooling down his open mouth, exposing sharp fangs ready to rip his heart out of him. At this point, he knew he had to defend himself. It was now or never!.

Since this beast said it was his greatest fear, then he had to overcome it and now was the time. He stood up with determination in his eyes, he was going to fight and try as much as possible to survive, even if his chances were slim.
