Or that would have been the case, if something else hadn't interrupted. The chain whipped around him from behind, entangling his arms and jerking him backward. He was snapped back so violently that it hurt (though the only sign the creature gave of that was a slight twitching), but the chain was strong enough to hold even a frenzied monster in place.

It started to thrash around, aiming to untangle itself, but if anything it only resulted in it being tied up tighter. It turned back toward the girl who was responsible, eyes glowing in anger as it tried to work its way back toward her. If she wouldn't let him attack the other girl, then he would stick to the familiar.
