The spider strikes out once more, and misses. It screams angrily at its failure, and skitters off to hide in one of its remaining mirrors.

Thorne managed to duck beneath the spiders leg and risked grabbing it and dragging it forward into its own mirror, hoping to shatter another one. And then he chose to use his legs like Alexis while wrenching the largest shard of glass from his hand, biting down on a cry of pain. Four, five, six --- s**t. They're so slow.

Kick one, kick another with the motion provided by the first, shouldercheck the third -- There's glass in their shoulders, and it'd hurt like a b***h any other time, but Alexis has no time for any pain now. " Just keep going," they hissed to Thorne, staying an arm's reach apart. "I know first aid -- we get out -- I'll sew you up --" with that, they duck under a shard embedded in the wall, keeping their head.

It seems that the more the mirrors break, the more frantic the spider grows. It screeches in anguish and anger, lunging for both Alexis and Thorne at once- as it cannot decide between either, it flails and hits the ground. But then, incensed, it lunges back into the mirrors.

"I'll hold you to that," Thorne yelled back, ramming another mirror to pieces. And another. And another. It hurt, it hurt like hell, it hurt more than he could fathom. But they were still alive and they were doing something. And maybe - maybe it was working. Maybe they could get out.

"If we get out," Alexis shot back in reply, wincing but bringing their leg up to break another mirror -- and a second, with the same momentum -- and a third with their fist, which was bleeding and scraped and was definitely going to need aid to get the glass out - "I'll buy you a ******** drink!" They were going to do this. They were. They were going to live -- and maybe those two were okay, yes, maybe -- but that wasn't the priority! The priority was make this thing shrivel up and die.

It screams. It screams, and it screams, and it screams. It is so angry, so PAINED by the mirrors breaking, that it is losing focus. It lunges weakly for Thorne, and completely misses.

"******** drinks, buy me waffles! The best <******** waffles in Ashdown!" Thorne could see that they were dwindling on mirrors. Only a little more. A little more. The pain was far away now. They were so close. They could do this.

The pain's barely held back, at this point; Alexis doesn't look down at their hands, doesn't want to know what they're going to see -- already their hands shake almost uncontrollably, and their fists are loose - they've punched mirrors before, but it's been under stupider circumstances, and never this many. Never this sort of circumstances, either. "Done!" Alexis calls back hoarsely, repeating the cycle again: kick, punch, shoulder -- oh <******** christ, is that a finger on the floor, ********, <********> -- there's only a few left. They can do this. They can leave.

It is frantic. Manic. It lunges for Alexis on wobbly legs and misses them, just barely. As it lays in the corner, for a moment, the life drains out of it. There is just a twitch of something left. Pained. Broken. The sultry woman's voice is gone. Instead, there is a softer one. A sadder one.
"...Did she go? Oh thank god, she's gone." The spider almost sounds relieved. "I have control again. And I need you to listen. This is me. Autumn. I'm con----" It cuts out. Something interrupts the voice. It is garbled and harsh.
"--dn't make the monsters this mean I was just trying to sa---"
"--so go ahead and kill it, but PLEASE. PLEASE tell the others it wasn't meant to be this way. She was the one who hurt you, Thorne, not me. I'm so sor---"
The spider curls in on itself. It gives a low, sad keening noise. Whatever war was going on in those speaking through it, it is over.
All that's left is to kill the thing.

******** finally.Thorne slammed to a stop to watch the beast, his entire mind broken by survival mode, every inch of him a bruise or a cut that wouldn't heal fast enough for him to be much use if they had to do anything crazier than this here in the hall of mirrors. And then it spoke. The girl? Autumn? Had she... made these things? Thorne's mouth twisted, his entire heart in atrophy. "That... what?" He looked at Alexis, his expression confused and pained. "What?" The spider gave an awful noise though, curling in on itself. And Thorne didn't wait. He walked over to it, dragging his body with a will that felt like iron if only because he'd forced himself to swallow and shut out every emotion that wouldn't keep Alexis and him alive. <******** you," he spat. And then he slammed his foot into the head of the creature, until the flesh gave out beneath his boot and there was a sickening crunch. Daekie put these two on a zombie apocalypse movie poster yo

It cringed away and curled, and Alexis was left wild-eyed and shaking and covered with blood and glass (so was Thorne, really, the two of them could have been poster children for 'how not to enjoy a hall of mirrors') - and - it spoke. Again. In two voices; Autumn's, and other. "That girl - Autumn - she's got...a weird way with animals." They shrugged. "But this place is weird." They watched with a sick satisfaction as Thorne crushed the creature's skull until nothing was recognizable, hurling a harsh kick into the spider's body. "You see a key? Or anything?" elkbones left for dead: ashdown edition. all the zombies are spiders

When the spider is killed, it explodes in a burst of shadows. Suddenly, all of the blood is gone. Alexis and Thorne are no longer in the hall of mirrors- they open their eyes, in the library. In his hands, Thorne holds an ornate, golden key.
BOSS DEFEATED
