The monster was quite terrifying, even more so than any of the demonic children. So
this is what was controlling them! Ally's heart pounded harder than it had ever before. Blood pumped through her veins, slightly muffling her hearing. What could she do against a huge demon like this? Punch it?
Then Liz began to shoot at the monster. It seemed unphased by these arrows. Its heavy footsteps sped towards Kurt, picking the largest target out of all of the teens to attack. Ally was frozen in place, unable to help her newfound friend out of cowardice. Each step seemed to shake the ground upon impact.
Please let this be another simulation! was all she could think in the seconds it took for Kurt to make his move. Finally, Kurt was hit by the terrifying monster and knocked down.
"Dragon!" Ally shouted and began to race to help. Her skin shifted from soft flesh to hardened metal. She didn't know what she could do, but she had to act fast!
The closer she got to the monster, the more terrified she felt. The blood dripping from the living tree demon was now visible and her heart sank. Was this the blood of children? She didn't want to think about it. Her heart continued to pump as she raced through the forest. She finally had herself placed between Kurt and the monster. "Come on!" she shouted. At least if she couldn't directly damage the monster she could buy Kurt a few seconds to recover. How easily could this demon damage titanium anyway?
