Chapter 54 RYN

I turned and ran and as expected the beast came after me. I felt the ground tremble as its paws hit the ground and raw fear consumed me.

What do I do now? I have no weapon. No fighting chance! Theon's words came back to me. "...remember your mind is also a weapon and the closer to the boundary you are, the stronger it becomes." How do I use my mind?!

To my surprise, it worked.

I opened my eyes just in time to see the beast stagger back and I pulled the trigger over and over again until it was down at my feet.
