Thump. Thump. Thump. My heart went.
"Well well well, what do we have here" a voice erupted from the serpent's mouth.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Over and over again as shock froze me.
"Swift... run!" He called as a grimace passed through his face.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
He's hurt... He's in pain....
Thump. Thump. Thump

"Swift! Go!" Barnes gasped as he head lolled back. The crunch of bones filled the air.
Thump. Thump. Thump
