run

A demon , cutting through the darkness , coming up the slope far faster than any of them could ever hope to run . Thin black arms stretching out , thin black legs pushing hard . Moonslight gleamed off the long head , made its hideous teeth sparkle like tiny jewels .

***

— and saw it . A black shape in the distance , moving toward her , faster than any person could ever run .
