Stay Underground

My mind goes blank, I can’t believe what I am hearing, nothing this creature is saying makes a shred of sense. It continues to speak, but I’m not listening, instead I’m thinking if I’m in danger or not. Does this creature have a weapon? Does it even need one to hurt me? Will it attack me if I run? My eyes dart around looking for a potential escape route. It’s still droning on and on, but I think it’s starting to realize that I’m not paying attention. I have to make my move soon, I don’t want to even know where this thing wants to take me. It asks if I am listening, in response I hit the creature in what I think is its face. It releases my arm and stumbles back in a daze. I take this opportunity to get as far away from it as possible. I dash into a narrow corridor with various bits of debris scattered throughout, which I knock over to block the path. I think the creature tried to pursue me but was unable to do so, but I’m not entirely sure since I never looked back. I eventually reach a rather busy street, my lungs are on fire, but I think I’m safe now. I’m still not entirely sure who that was or how they knew me, but I know I’d much rather stay here and maybe even try to improve the underground city than go wherever they wanted me to go.
