The Tartok was forced backwards again, though Hazel just barely had beaten it. Courtney had already vanished at the top of the stairs. A crash came from the kitchen, way off to the right. The Tartok's head snapped around on hearing the sound. It dashed forward in the direction of the kitchen and passed through the door, another loud metallic crash could be heard followed by a loud screech, undoubtedly from Courtney. "Damn!"Amos hissed on hearing her scream, he rushed forward with his rifle in his left hand.
