I screamed bloody murder.
It hurt like h-e-double tooth picks.

I grabbed a bunch of its flea bitten hair and pulled its head, but it stayed firmly clamped on my left arm. I started it beat it with my fists in its side, but nothing worked. My head was suddenly dizzy from the pain and the loss of blood.

I was not going to die at the hands of this... monster...

With this new thought, I grabbed one of its legs and kneed it squarely in the stomach. It grunted slightly--like I only tickled it--but I knew Beast was hurt.
Badly.
Maybe even worse than I was...

I swung around and viciously and hit it into the wall. Then the other wall. The paint cracked, and concrete crumbled. Whimpering, it let go to crouch on the floor.
But it didn't stop on the attack.
Beast swiped at me with its clawed hands--trying to cut my face open. I dodged to feel it nick my face, then it swiped at me instantly at my shoulder after that, making me backup. I deflected it. It did this two more times till it tried to spin kick me. I jumped over it and I grabbed the folds of a shirt as I did. Like I was throwing a shot put, I spun around twice to released it. Beast flew down the 30 yard corridor to crash into the wall...

And it stayed there.

I sighed tiredly and limped towards Darvire's door. I flashed the codes, and the door slide open. Even with the power out, these doors needed codes. I slid in, and rested my head against the wall right next to doorway.

"Talitha!" Darvire exclaimed. Through my half closed eyes, I saw him get off the table he was leaning on.
"Hi." I said feebly. I knew I looked terrible with blood trickling down my face and onto my neck. My hair had fallen into my face.
"I heard gun fire--I thought it might have been you..." He started, then he saw how bloody I was, "Oh my G-" He came towards me, and I could tell he was genuinely concerned. "You're hurt!"
Oh, look.

Captain Obvious.

"Um... yeah. I'm fine..." I said. I nodded to the door. "Come on, let's blow this joint." I started for the door.
"You're hurt." He repeated, but with more confidence and force suggesting that I should rest.
"I'm okay." I said, even though I knew it was untrue. "Let's just go, before more Security shows up." I gracefully bowed and flaunted my arms toward the door. "Shall we?"

Darvire, still uncertain, went out before me. I followed and shut the door.

Then, a stroke of genius hit me. We needed to get out before we were attacked by another Elite. I'm sure, in my present state, that even a Minor could finish me off... We needed a distraction... The more chaos there is, the better chance of us escaping more-or-less unharmed. I surprised myself with the perfect plan.

"Talitha?... What are you doing...?" He asked in a curious, but suspicious, tone as I typed some codes. I kept on looking at the card, then back to the code pad next to Darvire's door, then back to the card again.
"Making a distraction."

Out of no where, all the doors--everywhere in Building 5--opened.
I turned to him and said, "You okay with that?"
He smiled weakly, "If that is your idea of a plan, then I don't know what to think." This made me giggle.

Slowly, convicts appeared, clearly confused at their sudden freedom. Some found it the opportune moment to start reeking havoc...

Perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect.

I pointed down the hall... where Beast still lay embedded in concrete.
"This way." I started to run down the hall, stumbled at the sudden wave of fatigue, but regained myself to carry on. Darvire kept in pace with me, still concerned of my well fare. I reassured him I was alright, and could manage on my own.
We passed Beast, who growled pathetically and glared at me with blood thirsty eyes.
"Shut it." I growled back. "Ya stupid, fee bag, scallywag, rat face..." Darvire lightly touched my arm. "You did enough to it." He said softly.
I was about to reply it didn't need my sympathy, if that was what he was suggesting, when I...

Fainted.
