Call out to the beast

Without thinking, Jessica let out a cry, a wordless noise, between a whimper and shout, so caught up in her terror, she had let loose a sound without thinking. The beast's shaggy head hung still, but it's glowing eyes shone through the darkness boring holes into Jessica even at their slight distance.
The beast dropped back on to fours and slowly padded toward her. Its breath making cloud of mist as it approached her. Jessica has its attention.
