This seems interesting enough but it was confusing at the start, when he or she talks to themselves. It would be good if there were speech marks or it is in italics to shows thought. I would have liked some more description across the chapter. A few more on the building, possible the main character's appearance, and a little more on the creatures.
A general description on the weather and the night would be nice as well. I sort of get this really chilly exciting feeling about the scene but it would be helped along with more description to aid to the atmosphere that you intend to create.
Now onto the good stuff. The pace is very good, I like how enough detail is given whilst at the same time the plot moves on at a good pace. Further more, you have already given a good insight into the character's personality such as how he seems almost arrogant and how he ultimately decides to label the creatures cowards regardless of realising their intelligent manoeuvre. Also there seems to be a confidence which they display that seems a bit over the top. This not only helps understand the character but it displays their flaws which may come in handy for plot development in the future.
This can be very interesting for a story but only thing is, I cannot bring myself to sympathise with protagonists who are just plain stupid and who get into trouble because of stupid things which they do. Oh well, I guess I just have to find another character to favour. Onto the next chapter..............
