Guest had been running for a while now, taking sharp turns, slamming doors behind him, trying to shake off whatever thing was currently chasing him through this dilapidated building.

He should've known better than respond to those damned letters. Now some river monster was hot on his tail.

And despite it's panting and heaving, it showed no signs of stopping or slowing.

And before he knew it, Guest had run himself right into a dead end.

He looked around the dusty bedroom for anything to defend himself with, seeing nothing but the dusty bed and the night stand next to it.

It was already in the doorway, blocking it while it caught it's breath.

Hah... Hah...

Bluudud heaved, chest rising and falling as he did his best to regain his breath.

You sure can run, can't you...?

He said after a moment, squeezing himself through the doorway, ducking as not to snag his horns on the doorframe.

He took a few steps forward, hands outstretched towards the shorter man in front of him. Poor little Guest looked so scared. It was making him increasingly excited.

Lucky you, ending up right where I wanted you to...
