Shannon was staring dumbly at the girl who had suddenly appeared and helped him. About a second after she yelled at him to help with the monster his body began moving on autopilot.
He stood up quickly and took the sword in both of his hands. He wasn't sure what he should do but he just let his body move on its own, and a terrified yell escaped his throat as he charged at the cat creature.

The cat snarled at him and leaped towards him with its claws beared. Shannon closed his eyes as he swung his sword blindly. He heard a gurgled growl and opened his eyes to see that he had somehow managed to slice open the cat creature before it did the same to him.
He just stared, shocked, at the bloodied monster, not believing that he could have been so lucky.
His breath was coming short and quick now; the panic from the nights' events thus far rising up in his chest.
Shannon looked up at the girl who had rescued him and blinked his eyes quickly so that she wouldn't see that he was about to burst into tears.

Maddison had managed to stab the horse several more times. One had punctured pretty deep into its' side, but the wounds didn't seem t be having much effect on the beast whatsoever. Maddison however, was running out of breath and had suffered a hard hit to her side, which she was now clenching with her free hand.
The horse was studying her from afar, probably deciding on its next move just like she was. This creature seemed to have more sense than most. Instead of constantly charging forward with no real plan except KILL it seemed as though it was always thinking about the best next move. Just like a human being.

This must be one of the tougher monsters the Game could think up. A "Boss" level creature that would be very difficult to defeat. Maddison was realising just what a dumb decision she had made by trying to face this thing again. She didn't think that she could beat it alone.
She glared at the monster which was still studying her. It wasn't going to have the satisfaction of taking her out without a fight.
"C'mon you piece of shit! I haven't got all night!" she yelled to it, readying her spear and clenching her teeth against the pain in her side.
