Tessa

The beast was running toward us again, its ugly rocky hide looking like shadows as it moved between the glowing spots on the ceiling. It was huge and I had no idea how it could move so fast.

We hadn't had the chance to regroup since the gate slid shut behind us, but we were all looking equally terrified. That was about the only thing I was sure of at that moment. It was somewhat reassuring that they were both as confused and scared as I was.

"Does anyone know what that is?" I gasped as we hid behind one of the pillars for a moment.

"Not a clue, but I think it's rather hungry," Finn panted.

"Time to move," Griff chimed in. I peeked around the corner only to find that the beast was getting too close once again.

We sprinted to the next pillar, and in a small moment of pause I was able to see to the back of the room. A weapons rack lay propped up against the wall, although who knew how old they were. "Look," I said as I pointed to it.

"Finn, you run with Tessa, I'll run and grab some weapons."

The floor shook as the monster came closer. We didn't have any time for debate, so we followed Griff's orders.

Finn and I ran to the next pillar, but when we turned we saw that instead of following us as we'd hoped. The beast had gone after Griff instead, who was now stuck hiding in a crevice between the weapon rack and the wall.

If everything hadn't been carved out of stone then we could have had a problem, but as it was there was no way for it to remove the weapons rack and get to Griff. It was a waiting game, or at least that's what I thought.

It turned out that Finn had other ideas.

With a roar unlike any other sound I'd heard him make, the Atlantean took off toward the monster making me yelp in surprise. I couldn't tell what he was going to do until I saw the rock in his hand.

As soon as he was close enough, he hurled it at the beast's head. It bounced off the thing's skin and landed somewhere off to the side. It was enough to distract it though, as it began to run toward Finn. As I watched and felt helpless, Griff grabbed a couple weapons before he took off in my direction.

I ran toward him and was beyond thankful when I thought he was going to hand me a weapon. When he tossed a whip in my direction, I wasn't sure whether to laugh or actually be offended.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to be either as the ground started shaking once again. Finn was running toward us, and I knew the few minutes rest I'd had were over. As soon as he was within reach, Griff tossed a sword his way and the three of us took off once more.

The beast was following us all again, and as we rounded the pillar close to the weapons rack once more, I made an executive decision.
