Her heart rose into her throat as it neared closer to her- suddenly invading a space she didn’t know she had until now. And that space was mostly closed off to monsters with lurker shark teeth. He seemed to be studying her, not a malicious intent in it’s movements. She stayed cautious as he sniffed at her neck, she could feel her bones locking in place.

She shook her head; she didn’t know what she was expecting, it always turned out like this. He had left her. Like he always did.

The two crafts exploded and fell to the ground in a fireball, and in the confusion he slipped off to a back alley, waiting out the alert.
