Safe Room Turned Panic Room

I began to get this buzzing feeling in my stomach. It didn’t exactly hurt but it was very uncomfortable and I knew instictively that we were still in danger.
“Sir, is this room outside the castle?” I asked the King.
“Well no-”
“We have to get out of the castle now!” I insisted.
“James we’re perfectly safe in here, I assure you.” said the King.
No. We have to get out of here!” I began to panic. The feeling in my stomach had gotten worse, it felt as if my entire body were vibrating.
Anna was beginning to look afraid, she was feeling my fear.
“Father, maybe we should trust-”
Too late.” I said, more calmly then I felt.
It crashed through the wall. I knew it wasn’t a Cyke, the name of the huge pantherlike creature came to mind. It was a Kemio.
Don’t let it touch you!” Anna shrieked, diving out of the way. “It will burn any part of you it touches!
I grabbed Angela who was standing in a daze, staring at the giant creature. “Its not possible.“she whispered.
GO NOW !” I roared.
