A sound of shuffling met their ears, Philip but Tim carefully listened again. A stick cracked. Who or what could it be? He gazed in horror as Tim unlike him walked cautiously towards the the thick,small bush the noise was coming from he didn’t seem to feel the risk he felt in walking towards an unknown creature. Suddenly he made a giant lunge towards the creature.
But a menacing growl made him regret his decision immediately. A small beast scuttled towards them without a trace of fear , it had long,dirty spikes pointing like daggers at all angles across his back. With horns as sharp as knives, his red,fiery eyes glared up at them with anger. Philip’s heart skipped a beat. Tim stood still, not wanting to annoy the creature further.
“ Stand still,” Tim said but that couldn’t stop Philip shaking .
“ Do you know what it is?” Philip managed to stutter a few moments later.
“ I never seen it before,” he answered in a low whisper.
“ When it calms down should we take it in?” Tim said.
“Only after we know he is not dangerous.” Philip said.
