"AAHH!!"
One by one the delinquent group was either crushed or eaten. During the chaos Ryla and Lou ran over to Gerald. Ryla shook him violently, "Wake up, we have to run!"
Lou was crying whilst tugging at a pant leg, "Papa. . . Wake up, kill the monster."
Gerald's eyes flicked, he weakly rested a his hand on Ryla's, "Run. . . escape while you can. If it targets you, you won't be able to escape."
"Then come with us, you can be back in top shape in no time! Who will care for us if you go?"
Lou spotted the scale and scrambled for it, "Tilia said it will protect me. It can protect us!"
She held it tightly while running back to Gerald.
The Barveth crunched the final delinquent and turned its head to the three. It stomped over. Opening its mouth it prepared to eat the three.
Lou held up the scale while shaking, "Protect us!"

"Papa!"
Tilia's ears twitched and she shot up alert. Immediately she sprinted towards the origins of the shout, "That was Lou!"
