Jenny managed to grab Cassandra's shorts and then had to back up quickly when one of the dogs burst from the space between the trees the elephant thing had ruined. She let out a short shriek of surprise and swung what was in her hand without thinking about it. The bronze sickle blade slamming into the side of the animal's neck with a sickening sound and she had to resist the urge to vomit as blood sprayed across her.<br/><br/>She lost her jacket in the tussle but held onto her pants and Cassandra's shorts as she backed up and yanked the weapon free simply because she was too shocked to let go of it. It pulled the blade from the animal but the collapsing beast's horn slashed the side of her calf painfully and she started to trickle blood.<br/><br/>Three of the animals were moving towards Cassandra, switching from side to side as they wove in between each other and let out almost feline sounding growls of rage and hunger.
