Ellen steps into the offshoot, behind her husband. She kicks something out of the way with the toe of her boot and then stops. There's the harsh sound of breathing, somewhere ahead of them.

Another step and then Bill yells at both of them to move. He gets shoved to the side, as the long limbed thing lunged out of the shadows. Pale with rotten teeth and claws it moves supernaturally fast. Ellen clicks on her flamethrower, but it charges her anyway.

She stumbles backwards, tripping over the bone she'd moved just a bit ago and cracking her shoulder on the wall of the mine.
