As luck would have it, the two people countered on Zroff's island and hunted together. Rainsford , flattering himself and feeling quite different and superior to game, was in the position to be hunted this time. Within the three days of the dangerous game that Zroff played with him, Rinsford felt the feeling of hunted game-fear, the fear for pain, the fear for death.
