Eustace also notices the shadow and moves at the same time she does, spinning and unholstering his weapon as he does. One might think it overkill to use a rifle at close range, but he doesn't know how strong this creature is, so no point in taking a risk. At least at this distance, even with his precise aim, he has no danger in hitting Amaya.
So unheard to the woman, there's a loud BANG as he fires two rounds right into the creature's back. Even if its hide is tough and survives such powerful shots, the force alone should at least make it stagger and give Amaya an opportunity to come in from the front.]
