"Holy shit-!" Was Lisa's answer and total compliance, her eyes going wide at the barely-defined shape in the nearby darkness. "--Holy shit-!!" Like a gigantic scorpion or mutant crab at first- until she didn't move fast enough. A large spear-like appendage pierced the dingy sand less that two feet from her hand-painted shoes- in the split second that followed, she managed to make out a very obviously human-like torso and head, with it's zipper-looking mouth and horrific needle-teeth- right before the other monstrosity attached to it's shoulder swept at her and Robin's legs like the Grim Reaper's scythe. Out of sheer prey-animal panic, Lisa managed to lurch back just out of it's range, stumbling back over her own feet and almost taking Robin with her.
The thing (and it's cohorts) slithered forward after them, way too fast for their luck to hold out. As the two women darted into the darkness back toward the Square, one sickle-shaped arm and it's grafted blades caught Lisa across the lower hip.
Fire surged from the shredded jeans and skin in every direction, wringing a cracked scream from the deepest part of her. It and it's buddies would've swarmed them if it weren't for the nearby barks of several shotgun blasts- whether it just drew the monsters away or simply distracted them, they couldn't wait around to find out.
In five steps, her shoe was already full of blood, and each one felt like it was tearing the wound open a littler further. At least it was pavement under their feet now, then the curb that lead to the promenade around the square. The brick of it's buildings blocked their escape in the near-blackness, and Lisa wasn't sure how much further she could run anyway.
"We have to-" she rasped, pain and too much air in her voice. "We have to find someplace to hide." Those things weren't far away.
