As I reached the road, that thing sped up, getting so close that she opened her mouth wide, but I pulled the sword from my back and swung it.
The blade cut across the lower part of her face, slicing the space between her nose and lip. She was huge, her face four times the size of ours. It was creepy as hell, and I knew what it was.
She screamed, black blood spilling out, then retreated only to lunge again. She jumped at me, and I dodged to the side, grabbed a metal rod, and swung myself down to the road. Because I moved, she landed hard, rolled, and came right back at me.
She stayed low on all fours, hissing, her body wrapped in black flesh that looked like clothes. I couldn't tell where her skin ended and the covering began. She was just a mess of something ugly.
Joshua had Jack's arm slung over his shoulder, trying to get him out. Suki and Yash had already run away.
