*Sang was about to send another flirtatious comment Trenton’s way when a shrill scream cut through the air like a knife. His blood froze in an instant, and he looked at the others to see if they felt the same dread.
Seok: *Already doing a mental headcount. What was that?!
Myung: *Taking a full step back from the woods where it had originated. Sounds like another five years of therapy to me.
Pierce: *Tensing for a fight. Remind me whose stupid idea it was to go camping?
*A thunderous roar bellowed out moments later as two newcomers burst into the clearing, the older woman taking up the rear skidding to a halt. Panic flashed across her pale blue eyes as she recognized the group. The younger one, however, dove behind the nearest adult—Adam.
???: Sam, what are you doing?! Run!
Sam: *Still frozen. (Clearing full of people, children, monster closing in…shit! Shit, shit, shit! Why are they here?! Whose stupid idea was it to go camping?!)
Sang: H-Hey, what’s going on?! What was that?! I didn’t sign up to get murdered today!
Sam: *Composing herself enough to grab the twin blades at her sides. Keep Waverly safe. And you- *Points the tip of one blade at Pierce. Stand back, close your eyes, and do nothing. Got it?
Pierce: *Nods, even though she still wasn’t sure.
Sam: *Turns back towards the sound of the heavy footsteps, hearing one of the nearby pines splintering apart. (There’s still time. I could lead it away if I just-)
*The fallen trunk hurtled out from within the deep woods with a hardly a sound. Pierce watched helplessly as the base of the trunk struck the older woman, the force carrying her with it until they both came to a halt against a row of trees on the far side of the camp.
Waverly: SAM!!!
*The monster, a towering fifteen-foot beast, burst into the clearing only a moment later, and Pierce, without a moment’s hesitation, raced forward to take up the weapons her older counterpart had dropped.
