Seeing the creature move towards her, Michelle tried to take on a fighting stance.
But the web beneath her reacted to that and pulled her down.
Holding back a curse, Michelle knew she had to get up before the creature got to her.
But it was moving quickly.
Before Michelle could lift herself up halfway, the creature got so close she could see it in its full grace.
And Michelle had to admit, it wasn't a nice thing to look at.
That was a living torture device.
The creature was standing on two long slender feet connecting to a slim, but short torso, from which two pairs of long arms, if it could be called that, were growing out. One pair was ending in claws, the other in fingers curled into fists.
And, above the torso was a tiny head on a neck way too big for it.
Standing straight, the creature was just slightly taller than Michelle if she managed to stand up straight, but it looked far from human.
Even the way it moved was twisted.
