The group ran behind each other with the drilling monster behind them. It's drills were covered in Lexies blood, and the stench of it in the air.
Isaac refused to let go of Ellie's arm , he could not lose her eventally came to a door and Isaac waved his hand over it and the group shot at the beast, but nothing seemed to work.
"Shoot it's arms!" Isaac yelled pulling his plasma cutter up and stepping in front of Ellie. When the door opened they all piled into the room still shooting at it until the door closed separating them from the monster.
The Necromorph started to beat against the door , leaving heavy indent with each blow. Ellie immediately buried her face into chest as she desperately tried to forget the sound of Lexie's screams as she was torn apart. Mike placed his hand on Tally's shoulder, and gave it a reassuring squeeze while she was looking wide eyed at the door. Heather was crying next to Ellie, and Simone and George were up and ready to fire if it broke through. The pounding stopped only for a loud roar from the Necromorph to rend the air. For several long seconds no one made a sound as they waited for the pounding to resume, however it never came. Instead they heard the scuttling of nearby necromorphs who'd been attracted by the monsters cry as they started converging on the group.
Issac took a quick glance around the room they were in. They needed to get out of there. Destroying the marker was important, but just leading all these people anywhere near it was almost a sure fire way to get most of them killed. Hell he didn't think even he'd be lucky enough to survive there was no way they were all going to make it if then went for the marker now, and watching Tally turn around and start crying into Mike's chest he realized it wouldn't be fair to these people to even attempt it. Perhaps it would be best to try, and find a way off the ship for them first, and then continue on by himself, and whoever else felt the need to join the suicide mission.
Issac prepared to address the room when a powerful roar shook the room, and suddenly large sections of the floor were ripped away causing most everyone to stumble, and try to find something to hang onto. Issac managed to squeeze off a few shots into what looked like the weakest tentacle and was rewarded to see it get cut in half. His victory was short lived though as the monster ripped out even more of the floor in retaliation before retreating it's appendages to avoid further damage. For several seconds no one moved until Issac started to turn toward Ellie to ask about possible ways off the ship, when a final roar shook the room one last time causing everyone to stumble, and fall.
Tally was the first to go over the edge, and Mike almost immediately seeing as they'd been standing side by side. George, and Simone went next as there was nothing for them to grab onto to steady themselves. Ellie had managed to stay standing through the help of Issac. Heather however, had managed to grab the ledge was desperately trying to pull herself up, but it appeared she lacked the strength to do so.
Ellie seeing her plight quickly shook off Issac's hand, and rushed over to help her friend with Issac only a moment behind. Grabbing her friends hand she started to pull with all the strength she had. It was not meant to be however as gravity once again reasserted it's hold on the pair and they began to plummet into the blackness below Ellie's ankle missing Issac's outstretched hand by mere inches. The last thing Ellie saw was Issac's face with a look of utter despair on it as his hand reached toward her, and then the darkness swallowed her up, and she knew no more.
