Nevenka swallowed hard and pulled her aching arm closer to her chest. There were a few other people from the cirque gathered around now, drawn by her yelling but keeping back to give her distance. None of them were friends though, so she was glad she was holding onto Danny instead of any of them.
She took a deep breath. "I was coming back from V&V when this...thing jumped out from between two of the tents. I couldn't- it was hard to see what it was. Large, dog-like... or cat-like... or... it was a quadruped of some sort and it knocked me down onto the ground, trying to claw at me. I threw up vines from the earth to try and hold it and then- and then I just ran, Danny. I ran but..." She looked back over towards the door with a frown of confusion. "It should be here by now. Those vines couldn't have stopped it for more than a few moments and if it kept chasing me... it should already be here."
