Part 2 - The Struggle

...Lucinda's teeth clenched with fear as the creature approached. Suddenly a bright light as blazing as the sun shot through the cave.

As Leviathan lunged towards her it squealed. The golden light burnt the creature.

"Hurry!" Lucinda thought she was hearing voices, but then she heard hollering again. "Come on, now's your chance to get out!"

But she didn't want to leave. This creature had plagued her for too long and taken too much away. It was time to finish it.

Determined to strike again she drew her sword and sliced the charred skin. Success! It oozed blue on the floor and walls and writhed in pain. Lucinda finally made it bleed. This was the moment to end this.

The scary thing hid deeper in the cave in the depths until it almost reached the sea. She chased it and couldn't find it anymore. It was gone. "Nooooooo!" Rage filled her veins. "Was so close!"

As Lucinda sulked in her defeat she felt something touch her. Gripped with fear she grabbed her weapon and caught her breath.

Just as she turned around her eyes melted. "No, it can't be!" But it was!...

Prequel

In silence she crept towards the rock.  Jumping out of the darkness was a creature with fangs and it hissed at her.

The cave was wet and cold, much like the feeling inside her.  "He's about to get me," she thought.  "The creature is near."

The cave was located on the beach.  You knew you were close to it by the corpses of fish near the entrance.  The stench of death was in the air.

With her sword drawn Lucinda leaped at the fiend, but her sword couldn't cut through the leathery skin.

It's fangs dripped with poison just waiting for a bite. The pitch of its scream made her ears bleed.  This parasitic monstrous creature was out to get her.  There was no one to help.  Just her and this thing.

How did it all go wrong?

This place used to be beautiful.  Now it's putrid.  People used to come here to relax.  Now, it's a nightmare.

Lucinda's life flashed before her eyes as she stared down the monster:  Who would survive this fight?...
