Lucius' hands plant on the seat in front of him, bracing himself on pure instinct by the time the car judders to its halt. A further flinch at gun going off in such close quarters and the windshield spidering broken without actually shattering. The creature squeals in a way that is both absurd and horrifying, thick claws scraping the fuck out of the hood as it scrabbles back, only to hiss and pitch forward for where it sees, with all four eyes, Cindy's shape through the glass.
Bonk-bonk.
But also crack, the glass threatening to give beneath preternaturally powerful reptilian muscle and bloodlust. Thick enough skulls not to be too disoriented from the impact either. Lucius then contributes fifteen inches worth of seemingly uselessly mahogany pointed directly towards the creature, through Cindy's peripheral vision, and utters something ridiculous: "Expulso."
The windshield immediately shatters outwards, but more relevantly, it takes the creature with it, toppling it clean off the hood with a few spatters of blackish-green blood.
It disappears over the nose of the car, but probably isn't dead. The wand remains pointed to fend off further attack but Lucius isn't going anywhere in a hurry. "Quickly--"
