My hand flails, trying to grab Grandma's. When she manages to grab it, she grabs my arm with strength I didn't know she still wielded and the Lycan claws at the inside walls of the tunnel, trying to reach me.

Her pupils then glow blue as a current of air tunnels around me, and she rips me out of the far too-narrow hole peering down, the Lycan is trying to squeeze through the narrow opening before sliding back down to the cave floor, unable to fit.
