She paused, wondering if she should interrupt, but then decided to push the door open and step inside.Inside, she found Dr. Chen and Dr. Singh deep in conversation.

They parked their car a few blocks away and approached on foot, being cautious not to draw any attention to themselves.As they got closer, they could see a group of armed men guarding the entrance. "We need a plan," David whispered to the group. "We can't just charge in there.""I agree," replied Sarah.

The group scrambled for cover, diving behind boulders and trees.Jared pulled out his sword, his heart pounding with fear and adrenaline. He couldn't see the attackers, but he could hear the clatter of armour and the snarling of beasts."Stay down!" he shouted to the others. "We need to find out where they're coming from!"He peered over the top of his boulder, scanning the area for any sign of movement. A movement caught his eye, and he caught a glimpse of a figure darting between trees. He narrowed his eyes, trying to get a better look, but it was gone."We need to move," he said to the others. "I think I saw one of them."They rose from their hiding spots, weapons at the ready, and followed Jared as he moved forward. The ground shook again, and a huge creature burst out of the trees, charging straight for them.Jared raised his
