Maria shut the door, running back up the stairs to help Jack.

She saw him facing down the three animals.

The monster was nowhere to be seen.

"Jack!"

For just one moment, Jack glanced back at her.

In that moment, the Tiger lashed out at him, knocking his sword away and leaping at him.

The bear began to charge at Maria, while she struggled to get her sword out.

It seemed to be stuck in its scabbard.

Maria screamed, waiting for the imminent pain that was to come.

It never came.

Maria opened her eyes, and saw Jack standing between her and the bear, covered in blood.

The bear swiped at him, opening a gash in his chest.

Jack gasped, "R-Ria... run!"

"Jack?" Maria murmured uncertainly.

"Run!"

Maria bolted, slamming the basement door shut behind her and collapsing to the ground, weeping.
