Crunching gravel and dirt grew closer as Evee could hear the Mechanical monstrosity approach behind her. Stains and scuffs painted the front of her blouse as she threw herself up the craters steep side. The loose earth crumbled between her fingers, preventing a firm grip. However sure enough, either through adrenaline or sheer force of will, she clawed her way up out of the crater and onto the grassy surface. Just as the sounds were right on here heels, the rest of her body heaved up out of the hole, and Evee pulled herself up. Leaping into the air, the monster landed with a trembling thud behind the fleeing blonde, silently observing as her glimmering hair flailed in the wind. Desperately sprinting toward the dark candle lit house, the girl could still hear the heavy footsteps following not too far behind her.
