But this beast here is holding me hostage.

But the beast held the van fast, claws dug deep into the wood, tail curled around the chassis.

The beasts held their position, as if uncertain what to do in the face of two undaunted opponents.

The beast itself was a prisoner of the witch, held bondage by a powerful spell.

The black beast holds two, does it not?

I saw that the little beast held an energy-blaster in his paws.

The beast had merely held its power in abeyance.

The beast was holding its breath, waiting for its mistress to tell it what to do.

Another hour, and still the stupid beast held tenaciously to his post.
