She stared at it.
It stared back, vengeance in every fibre of its existence.
She exhaled slowly, grabbing her wits around her as she readied herself for another attempt to escape.
She feigned a move to the side. It moved with her.
She backtracked and ran across as fast as she could. She could find it recovering from her change of direction and coming in hot pursuit.
She slipped on the watery floor that didn't offer any grip to her floundering legs.
She thought about the children she had left at home. Children whom she might never see again.
She imagined this was just one of those days when getting home would require a trial by fire. Maybe today wouldn't be the end.
She thought about her children again and her heart beat a little more faster; her urgency to escape over-riding her intuition which was telling her to play it safe and go into hiding.
It had almost reached her now.
More water splashed out in front of her as it threw a fierce wave of it in front of her.
Damn the creature.
She stopped short, not wanting to be made senseless again by the wall of water.
She skidded to a stop and paused for a fraction of a second in order to find a new way to escape.
A fraction too long.
The creature reached her and extended its long hands, preparing to deal the final blow.
She closed all her eyes and stood still. It was time to go after all.
[SWAT!!!]
As her own legs flashed in front of her, broken and disjointed, she heard a something in an unfamiliar language ring out..the last sound she would hear in this world....
"Memsaab...Bathroom mein jo Makdee thi...Woh mar gayi......"
