BOOM!
A shockwave tore through the trees.
The girls stumbled back as wind blasted through the clearing, dirt flying, leaves spinning in the air like a storm had just passed through.

Sarah peeked over the rock, her breathing shaky. "That wasn't human either… It has a dreadful aura."
Suddenly, a massive shadow flickered across the treetops. Trees bent, groaned, and snapped as something huge crashed into them. Then—
A flash of black light lit up the night sky.
