Run away!

Jake stared a Tariq for a second. Then, he recovered from your shock enough to think. The teeth gleamed in the darkness. With teeth that sharp, Tariq probably wanted to eat him, Jake reason. He gulped nervously. Tariq tried to look comforting, but just managed to look creepier than before.

Before Tariq had a chance to make Jake his dinner, Jake leapt past him. Jake heard Tariq yell something at him, but he didn't listen. Anything Tariq said was probably a way to trap him. Jake sprinted through the door, and slammed it behind him. He stood in the hallway, the door at his back, and panted. There was no sound from the room. To Jake's relief, Tariq didn't try to knock down the door so that he could eat him.

After a few minutes had passed, Jake managed to catch his breath, and his heart finally stopped racing. There hadn't been any sound from the room, which meant that either Tariq wasn't trying to catch Jake... or he was just biding his time.
