you scream.
you scream with every fibre within you. so loud the carnivore pauses for just a moment, thrown off by both the volume of your cry and the way you've stopped struggling under it.
you could swear time slows as the teeth descend toward your body, the final bite to end you. it is only a force that erupts toward you that saves you.
your Demon, your wonderful, powerful, beautiful Demon has heard your cry and come to you.
your kicked away from the fight. a battle of titans. the carnivore is too large for the Demon to drag into the lake. but its jaws are strong and holds fast, pulling and shaking with earth shattering violence.
the carnivore claws and struggles free. blood rains down from both beasts and after what feels like an eternity condensed into seconds, they break free from each other.
the Demon snaps its jaws, a bellow from its throat and it crawls itself further onto land.
the carnivore will not risk a second fight. will not risk more injury than what it has gained in its midnight hunt.
it runs away.
Your Demon as won this battle. it has saved you from a sudden death.

you try to stand and find you cant. you try again, blood running freely from your leg and it simply wont obey your will. you cant get up..
