Distant sirens were coming closer.

What now?

Alison held up both her hands, opening her palms towards the alien, but it was not looking at her, it was staring up to its companion still hanging from the window high above.

Alison looked. That alien was clearly dead.

Yet the other called aloud, loud echoing hopeful calls of a woodland creature. As if it was trying to rouse its fallen companion. Up above, nothing moved. Again the creature shouted, its tone more insistent, more urgent, and when the other still did not move, it threw back its head and hollered.

As the cry ended, so the distant sirens could be heard louder now, a call of incoming menace.

Alison watched as the creature weighed up the odds. She noticed now how leather straps bounds its lower legs, and the claws of its feet were clean, clipped and painted silver. It was looking for an escape.

With some trepidation, Alison realised she and Lenny as they crouched in the stone entrance archway, were all that stood between the Alien and freedom across the playing fields beyond the chapel.

Alison could hear the trundle of tires on tarmac so knew the police could not be far.

She dare not look back.

For the alien had bent down onto all fours. Transformed into a raging bull, he raced the last few steps towards her.

Alison stood firm, handbag-less, short and fat, at the centre of a 14th-century archway, one woman facing the beast.

I will hold my ground, she told herself, I will make my stand.
