Before Sandy realizes what she's doing she's running as well. Axe clenched tightly in her stone fingers the sound of cement feet pounding on the ground is like rocks being skipped down the sidewalk.

With her jaw set in a firm clench she swings the axe hard and it sinks into the middle of the creature with a wet thunk! Her momentum and extra weight from the strike pushes the handle till the Axe twists about inside the beast and pops free. The girl stumbles forward empty handed as the Axe has landed nearby on the ground.

The gash in the creatures gut is deep and dark.
