The narrator may not understand the threat, but they really should know some basic information.


 * Who they are
 * Where they are
 * What the threat has done to others
 * What their emotional state is
 * What their physical state is

Since you don't want to give us a clear idea what they are afraid of, you should give us enough information that we become invested in the character. Right now, we don't have ANY information on the protagonist.
