Mariana:
It was a strange being. It did not look old, yet it was not young either.
"What the fuck are you?" I whispered to myself, watching that beastly thing stare me down as if it would eat me alive.
It lifted its claw and lunged at me. I threw my hands in front of my body and shut my eyes tight.
I did not feel any impact. Instead, I heard scuffling nearby.
When I opened my eyes, Yorick had tackled the monster and rolled with it across the ground.
"Mariana, get away from here! Run for your safety!" Yorick yelled while still fighting off the monster.
I was frozen in place. And honestly, I did not want to run. I wanted to stay and make sure Yorick was okay.
But at the same time, I heard scuffling from the side and noticed someone moving toward me. I took a few steps back, and then I fell down on my ass again.
Panic shot through me, and I scrambled to my feet. I looked around again and saw that Yorick's parents had arrived as well.
