Dan went down hard and fast, his eyes closed immediately and stayed closed.
Bessie the pig began jumping and oinking wildly.
My human hands couldn't handle the speed at which I needed to work so I slapped my cloak hand on my knee and uncloaked into Jerm Jenson.
With my extra digits, I might have bought myself enough time.
Benkur towered over me, his four hundred or so teeth gnashed together.
His claws reached out to pull me into his ravenous mouth.
Just as my doom was becoming reality, Bessie the pig broke free from her containment and slammed into Benkur.
Tying as fast as I could, my rig was finally complete.
I sprinted around a dazed Benkur, taping the fishing rod to his back leaving the carrot dangling in front of his face but out of reach of his arms.
Dan had awakened right at the end, "Did it work?"
My eyes clinched in fear that it hadn't, "I'm not sure, he is rattled from Bessie's attack."
We both turned to face Benkur as he finally realized what we had done.
He immediately went cross eyed as his arms reached out in an attempt to remove the carrot from view.
Benkur had failed.
The carrot dangled with a vengeance and paralyzed him.
He would be disabled as long as the carrot was in his line of sight.
Dan was hurt very badly, I wasn't sure if I would be able to help him or if the damage done was beyond my alien abilities.
His eyes closed again, maybe for the last time.
