She noticed the look on his face, and wondered what he thought. He watched as she examined her, and made his descision. "Hold your breath. We're going to find out," he said, and she did hold her breath. She felt herself being scooped up, her back against his right arm, and her legs on his other arm. She heard his wings beat against the air, and felt herself slowly rising. She resisted the urge to cling to him like an infant, just now finding out she's quite affraid of heights. Looking down, she swallowed as she waited for them to go crashing down to the floor.The beat of his wings filler her ears with sound that she didn't notice, and she didn't realize until it was too late that this sound would alert the men standing outside. Suddenly, the doors let out a groan as they were opened, and the two men with guns stepped into the room. The first thing they saw was the giant pool of blood, more pink than red now due to the water still running from the hose. She watched as they looked quickly around the room, then up at them.

This did not go as planned, however- in the brief second she had to think, she imagined herself landing gracefully on her feet, and plunging the rib weapon into the guard's neck. However, she somehow forgot that the floor was slippery with water, and the moment her feet hit the floor, she slipped, landing face-first. She felt a stab of pain in her chest, and heard a sickening
crack. She gasped and tried to breathe, unable to move from pain.
Until my heart stops beating...
