The creature grabbed the scruff of the child's neck and lifted her up, holding her a couple feet from the ground, her sharp claws away from his arm, her mouth turned away from him. As he held her he turned down the hallways, in the opposite direction from the where the feline was, and started to walk down it.
The feline was still wondering off what to do, unaware of what had happened to the child. He turned around to look at her and opened his maw to speak, yet he couldn't bring out a word as he saw that she had vanished from his care. He looked around, trying to spot her, but failed in doing so... he turned down the hallway and started to run... in search of the child that was now missing.
