the darkness.

Quinn turned around fearfully. In the dim light, she saw the bushes rustling slightly. Something was moving
towards her from below.
The patch of grass split in half, like a piece of jade cracking in the middle, with a sudden gap the size of a palm.
Quinn's heart clenched as she stared at the spreading crack in the grass.
One second.

Ten seconds later, she finally saw something emerge from the grass!
