You jab the stick towards the creature's eye, but in that moment the beast turns its head and clamps its teeth down on your wrist. You release in stick in your pain, however you can't pull your arm back as it still keeps its long fangs embedded into you.
However, the creature also starts to gag. The stick, although missing its mark, was now protruding halfway down the animal's throat. Recovering from your pain faster than the creature's moment of surprise, you're able to flip yourself sideways, momentarily rolling your attacker off of you. With your free fist, you begin to punch the other side of the animal's shadowed face.
Instead of letting your wrist go, the animal reaches around and digs its long claws into your back. Adrenaline rushing, you also slam your forehead down onto its head, right above where your hand is trapped. That does it. Stunned, its jaw loosens momentarily, letting you jam your fist and stick in deeper. Flesh is pierced, and the creature's grip on your back also lets go.
You're able to retreat and regain your footing, but you quickly realize that your wrist is so weak that you weren't able to pull your only weapon out. It remained lodged deep down the back of the monster's throat. The beast tries to howl, but an odd gurgling is heard instead. It clamps its teeth down, snapping what part of the stick protruded out, but before it could take more than a step towards you, it stumbles.
