The child looked around confused.
"Mommy" she cried hearing her own name being called out. Unaware she was just saved.
Ella had began following the direction of her mothers voice, her feet slapping the cold floor as she raced through the darkness towards safety, when the monster slammed down only meters away from the young girl. 
The impact and surprise took her off her feet. Stunned she sat shocked in the dirt.
The giant tendril recoiled and looked as though it would slam down again right on top of the child!!!
