Harry had sprung in the air, his posture dark and poise, he was as swift as a blade once he flew towards the beast. It seethed and chittered in its place as it stared at the blinking eye of Harry's weapon. It soon crawled swiftly from his weapon, climbing the walls with its clawed feet. The beast howled at him, it's words strange and cluttered. Harry fell gracefully on the floor, his stance tall and unruffled. Once I began stepping back from the scene, the creature from the decaying wall slitted my way. It's eyes were dark as tunnels, it's teeth heaping like razor sharp knifes. Abruptly, it growled viciously and advanced towards me.

Dark as a knight, Harry dashed across the room and slashed the scaly creature with the circular object he held within his grasp. The monster screeched and bellowed as black, thick liquid began to pour from its wound.

Harry turned towards me, his eyes arcane and powered. He opened his lips as if to say something, but he had been too late. The creature launched at him with its tale and sent him flying across the room. Harry's back hit the thin wall, causing the concrete to crack from the powerful blow. He laid crumpled on the ground.

I shouted his name and sprinted towards him, but the slimy creature had pounced in front of me before I had the chance. It's claws slid down the squealing wooden floor, like it had been a powerful bull preparing for its attack. My sneakers skid to a stop and a short cry escaped from my lips. It's tail sprung in the air as droplets of clear acid fell from its tip. Thin as a needle, the beast's tail approached me.

Quickly, I swerved away from the poisonous venom and nearly hurled myself into the lonely counter. It hollered in agitation and repeated its advance, but my adrenaline was too high. I darted down the aisle and towards the rusty doors. Immediately, I could feel its claws pull at my hoodie, wrenching me down the rocky floor. It crouched on top of me with wicked eyes and a depraved smile. I struggled to sit up; the creature's hold on me was like iron chains secured at my wrists.

It shrilled in my wake. "Daughter of Adramelechk." It had spoke. Acid fell from the creature's lips, burning my skin and throat. "We've been looking for you..."

I wiggled in its hold. "Let me go!"

It continued to seethe. "Your time has come, Lailah, the protection from Shakinah does not bound you any  longer."

It's needle-like tail twirled in the air, striking down with a swift attack. Suddenly, a glowing cerise powered through the air with flashing grace. It sliced the tip of the monster's tail, and slowly slicked away from the thick muscle. The creature cried out in pain and slid off of me, it's venom spurting in numerous directions. The detached tail fell heavily on my chest; thick acid burned the fabric of my hoodie. I quickly shook off the scaly tail and hoodie before the acid could sink into my chest. I peered up to see Harry shine down on me with powerful light protruding from his hands.
