The people ran to where the scream came from. It was actually the city entrance. The man who was asking for help happened to be someone the people there knew well. However, what made Thomas curious was why he was screaming for help.
He didn't look injured. Nor did he look like someone chasing him.
Thomas squeezed himself into the crowd and listened to what that man was going to say.
"Agh! That monster! That- monster!"
He pointed in the direction he came from and tried to say something but he choked in his words because he was panting.
"You mean the monster in the dark forest?"
The man next to him asked him, thinking it might help them to find things quickly.
"Yes! I escaped from it! I can't believe it. But I really escaped!"
He grabbed that man, screamed, and laughed. He looked around and kept repeating the same thing to everyone.
Henry could see people looking at each other and murmuring.
Then he saw another man come forward and ask him questions.
"How did you escape?"
