Arthur's POV:
The creature's head started to open like a flower blossoming in spring. It's head split into 12 different sections and each had a blade like weapon at the end. Which looked like bone.
Before I could even react 1 of the tendrils came flying towards me. I barely able to duck in order to avoid the attack.
After I had dodge there was another tendril sent towards me. This one much faster than the last.
This one I didn't completely dodge. I jumped back but it was a still able to land a clean cut on my left arm.
"This is gonna be harder than I prepared for" I thought to myself.
The monster ceased its attack as all 12 of its tendrils were floating in the air directly connected to the part of the head that was split.
Each tendril made from flesh and blood from a victim this MONSTER murdered.
I couldn't just back down knowing that this poor girls body wouldn't be able to rest.
But I needed to be smart about this.
I was done being on the defensive. I swayed my right arm towards the monster as I released my flames.
It tried to counter using one of its tendrils but it caught on fire. The monster Released a loud Screech. Which left my ears ringing.
The flames started to spread from the base of its tendril downward But just before it was going to engulf it fully the monster forcefully ripped it off.
"Shit" I accidentally said out loud
I looked down to the limb it ripped off but my flames burnt it to a crisp. Not even ashes were left behind.
The monster faced me and let out a Roar filled with pure animosity.
And with that roar I knew exactly what was coming next.
"I bit off more than I could chew I have to retreat and call for backup." I thought as I turned Around and sprinted the other way
Elijah's POV:
After dinner I went back to my room. I dropped on my bed and looked for my phone and then the realization dawned upon me...I left it at school.
"No no no no This can't be happening" I ran down the stairs with speeds faster than humanly possible.
Well at least in my book. But before I could reach the door a suddenly stopped and my father was holding my wrist
"Slow down there buddy this is the fastest I've seen you run" he said comedically
"Father this is a serious situation" I said with a determined look on my face and for a split second my father looked serious as well.
"I left my phone at school" after I said that the entire house went quiet. The background noise that Was there was completely off.
"I see" my father said grimly.
"Don't make fun of me" I replied. To which my Father laughed.
