Jessica took that moment to catch her jagged breath, bones still rattling from the collision, and the rip in her side gushing out. the adrenaline pumping through her veins got her through the agony while her tenacity gave her the strength to push forward when the beast broke through the trap with broken tusks and anger in its working eye. She looked almost as wild as it did, tearing through the street with her glowing fist wound back. She struck again with a bleeding fist, catching a pointed end severed from its pearly bone, and was forced to skid back as the thing swung its head, her body grazed by more sharp edges. Jessica fell, caught between the monster's large arms, and turned her face away from its gnashing teeth. A cry squeezed through her gritted teeth, feeling what felt like dozens of tiny razors carving into her forearm. That second mouth. Blood dripped heavily from her arm as it burrowed deep into her flesh, and at least while she contended against that, Jessica swung her other arm over and lodged the broken tusk into the creature's other eye, blinding it completely. The pain was enough for it to pull back some, but not before Jessica grabbed the slimy tongue-mouth and tore it from the bigger cavity, and out of her arm.
