Snippet #2188295

Aileen slowly opened her eyes. Shit, she must have passed out. Blood was running down her face and it felt like every bone in her body had been broken. She forced herself to sit up, but it just made her extremely dizzy. She groggily looked up to see Simon fighting and another hurt mutant sitting next to her. This situation was bad, it seemed like the only one still capable of fighting was Simon.

Aileen tried to stand up, she wanted to help Simon. Thanks to her good balance, she managed to get up and lean against the wall. That's when she noticed a guard standing in the other end of the hall, the opposite direction from where all the other guards came from. He was standing a bit behind Simon, but it didn't look like he was going to attack him. He also looked really young; he couldn't be more than 18 - 19 years old. How could he be a guard in a place like this? Aileen started to walk towards him, using the wall as support. She didn't notice the dead guard on the floor and she fell over him. When she crawled back up on her feet and looked up, the young guard was now looking directly in her direction. Aileen figured that maybe he wasn't going to attack mutants; maybe he was going to bring the hurt one's back into cages. "How can you just stand there?", she almost sounded drunk, but it was just because of the hits to her head. "Why are you here? Huh? Why do this?" She let go of the wall and took a few steps towards him. It was stupid to agonize a guard like this and usually she would never do it. But she wasn't thinking clearly at the moment and the bottled up hurt and anger was soon going to explode. She hissed at him like a cat and extended her claws, the blood streaming down her face and with one eye swollen. "Come on then! Attack me!"
