"Jack, Run!" Norbert covers us with the little ammunition left in his pistol. "Hey! Wait!", Rose says as I grab her by the hand and run for the overgrown weeds, Mama shouts while rushing along with her cane, "Hoo! I'm getting old!" Jean flies past us and I shout, "Jean! Where are you going!?" She runs off from us and I shake my head. "Damn it, Jean!" A glow comes from behind us. Behind Mama, Norbert runs from a fire, spreading towards us.

A flare shines above us and I pull Rose to the floor with me. "Norbie?!" As we tumble, she tries to peek out, but I pull her back down. Bullets whizz past us as Rose and I gasp, "Are you crazy!?" She shakes and I scratch my hair, "Crawl!" She follows me, but the near howling of wolves forces my body to freeze in place. A wolf tramples through the weeds and I crawl back from it. It snarls at me, then rushes towards the fire. Heavy footsteps approach, something steps right over us. I squint, "What is that!?" "A turtle!?" It collapses to the floor, then bullets crack and ricochet off it's shell. Rose gasps as Norbert lays his hand on her head suddenly. He shouts, "Where is Mama!?" "She's too slow!" He kneads his hands into his stomach, "Take her and go!" Rose shouts, "No!" Norbert kisses her on the forehead, "Protect her with your life!" He rushes towards the fight, starting by taking shelter behind the giant turtle.
