The creature collected itself way too quickly, leaping up onto its feet and swiping its claws across Jamie's thigh.
Eddie saw red.
Snarling, he hurled the cookie sheet at the creature's back, knowing it would bounce off, mostly ineffectually. That wasn't his plan, anyway. He needed a better weapon. Something heavier. Something like the cast iron skillet hanging from a peg on the other side of the stove.
The creature reared on him, but he threw his weight forward, stumbling on ungainly legs, his hands closing around the skillet and hefting it up by its handle. It was heavy, even moreso than it looked, and he stumbled a step backwards as he heaved it overhead, then brought it down with a hard thunk against the creature's head.
The goblin screamed, its arms flailing, catching Eddie on the cheek with its long claws. Eddie screamed back, furious, levering the skillet up again and bringing it down. Finally, with the the third blow, there was a sickening crack, a wet squelch, and the goblin crumbled to the floor. Panting raggedly, with black blood splattered across his face, Eddie let go of the skillet and fell back hard onto his ass, eyes wild as he looked past all the green gore to where his boyfriend stood.
