331 Keep It Together

The creature screeched in agony, as Vy plunged her sword deeper into it's back. It began to try to pull Vy off with it's sharpened teeth. All the spinning made Vy dizzy. She lost the grip on the sword and leapt off the back of the creature. 

She fell onto the ground on her side, groaning in pain as her arm hit the ground first. There was no time to wince in pain. She quickly got back up and drew her dagger. The other children were all holding their weapons, shaking in fear. 

"Stay back!" she shouted at them. 

The creature had its eyes on her. As they circled one another, Vy could see the sword still sticking out of it's back. Looking at the snarling creature before her, she formulated a plan in her mind. 

From what she could see, the underbelly of the creature did not have the same textured scales as on its back. That might just be the weak spot she needed to exploit. Just then, the creature lunged towards her.
