Hunter and the Silent Wolf
I could feel her eyes rolling, mane unfurling in irritation.
But I did have an idea. An idiotic, ridiculous idea… but it was better than waiting to get caught. The walls narrowed as the dead end met.
I lacked the strength I needed but with my body withered down to bones, this might just work. I propped one leg on the side of the wall as my forearm and shoulder braced the opposite wall. I shimmied myself up and placed my right leg against the concrete wall, spreading my arms between the two slats. I maneuvered up again and as my bare foot moved to propel myself upward, it slipped, throwing me back into the waste below with a deafening splash.
