“Mari, Ceri! Run!”

I saw my brother in front of us desperately clutching his sword. Taking a deep breath, he readied himself for a strike.

He managed to dodge the first attack and retaliated but his sword didn’t even nick the thick hide of the beast.

Then the white monstrosity effortlessly swatted him aside.

With a grunt of pain Zachs crushed into a tree. His leg made a hideous sound upon impact.

N-No!

Ignoring my brother, the Monster moved closer, his breath visible in the cold winter air.

I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do anything.

Ceri looked back to me.

“M-Mari…”, she pleaded. “I...”

And then the monster brought his club down on her.

Time froze.

“AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
