Trapped

Understanding that this was her cue to run, Alice did not dawdle and immediately turned around.

Seeing this sudden action, the creature raised one of her many hands and let out an ear piercing screech that snapped the enraptured beasts out of their stupor.

Locking their eyes onto Alice's position, they crouched down before charging towards her with feral instinct.

"Oh sh-!"

Before she could finish her curse, she had to rolled across the floor to dodge a bone javelin that one of the beasts threw towards her.

Getting back on her feet, Alice jumped up and grabbed a branch before flipping herself upright.

She needed to figure out how to lose them and fast.

Thankfully, the strange creature in the lake seemed to be stuck there as she only had to worry about the myriad of beasts chasing behind her.
