Showdown Continua II

The little girl's eyes widened in terror as she realized she was caught between the beast and me. She tried to run, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot.

The beast's eyes fixed on her, its gaze hungry. I knew I had to act fast.

With a fierce growl, I launched myself at the beast, determined to protect the innocent girl. The beast swiped at me, but I dodged its claws, my eyes fixed on the girl.

I positioned myself between her and the beast, my body tense and ready to defend her. The beast snarled, its eyes blazing with fury.

But I stood my ground, refusing to back down. The girl was innocent, and I would not let her come to harm.

The beast took a step closer, its hot breath washing over me. I growled, my claws extended, ready to strike.

The beast took another step closer, its eyes fixed on the little girl. I positioned myself between them, my body tense and ready to defend her.
