Marisol watched the creature. There was hate there. She could feel it as much as anything. The creature, looked at her with spite, and she could sense it malevolence - it's anger at having it's meal interrupted. Marisol put things together quickly, understanding that she had indeed interrupted the thing as it was about to feed. Marisol took a step back as it approached, moving farther away from the crib.
Instinct honed through training took over, and she raised the gun, a .45 caliber HK USP, her chosen sidearm. She solidified her stance and fired. Her aim was true and bullets hit the creature, it screamed. She didn't stop until the the gun clicked empty. She dropped the magazine, and loaded another, just in case. The creature laid on the ground, unmoving. It was then Marisol noticed that the crib itself had disappeared. Confused, she looked around, finally seeing someone in her peripheral. Marisol gave herself space, not raising the firearm, but holding it ready just in case.
The man was taller than her by about a head. He had dark hair beginning to gray, but the most obvious physical trait were eyes that glowed yellow. Marisol didn't let the fear she felt show, but kept her eyes on the man. "Who are you? She demanded. "And why are you here?"
