The monster thundered forward, seeming to care less for the damage brought upon himself so long as the girl lie dead on the ground. She had to do so much in very little timing, and as he approached her within at least twenty to fifteen feet away, she knew she had to act fast. He drew in closer, and the human jumped onto the operation table, the captive prisoner still lying strapped on, his eyes and mouth sewed shut, unaware of the current situation. The monster instantly slammed full speed into the table, throwing the lever.
The sound of gravity pulling on metal was heard as Kalika looked up. The flattened structure of spike can falling towards her. Instantly, she kicked off the table and went flying through the air as the spikes impaled through the prisoner as flesh, bone and blood sprayed and flew through the air in an instant. Kalika formed into a dive, and as she hit the ground, formed into a diving roll, sending her tumbling across the stone floor. She landed on her stomach, wincing and gasping to catch her breath... when she noticed her newest advantage. A large, glass barrier was built onto the side of the torture chamber. She gazed beyond it, noticing a large chamber of statues and water.
"You contemptible, deceitful wretch!" the monster roared as he came charging for her again.
Kalika gripped the handle of her weapon tightly... if she was planning on escape, she would have to rely on her weaponry. She noticed that the monster had an advantage in speed, and that his agility was inadequate. However, she had very little knowledge of his leaping strength... if his ability of pouncing was as strong as his ability to run. There was only one way to find out, and as the monster charged again, she readied herself. He sprinted towards her, faster and faster, gaining more speed, his one eye flickering with fury and savagery. Looking at his angered features, Kalika could only wonder if her idea would work. The creature was filled with desperation... he wanted her dead for whatever reason. How in the world was she going to hold off against him?
Her thoughts were cut short as the monster took a powerful kick off the ground, lunging towards her frame in a yell of rage. His claws slashed at the air, aiming for Kalika. Instantly, the human dropped to the ground, covering her head and lying flat. The monster's eyes flicked from an inhuman rage to sudden shock as his body broke through the barrier, then went toppling roughly on the stone floor. A short shower of tiny glass beads belted against Kalika's body, falling into her hair and gently slicing small cuts across her skin. Silence built up... she could only hear the faint quivering that was her breathing, and the loud, thundering pounding that was her heartbeat.
The human shivered, then relunctantly rose to her feet as the small pellets of glass slide off of her body and clattered onto the floor. She looked through the broken window... the monster was lying very still. Chunks of glass were embedded into his skin, and his eye was closed.
Retreat... she thought to herself, then slowly turned away.
A small shifting of glass was heard, and for a moment, Kalika almost believed that her heart was about to tear through her chest. She jumped, spinning around, seeing the beast lying on the floor, slowly making it to his feet... then collasping. She began to back away, only when a painful, sorrowful moan was heard. The human's eyes overreacted as if being reshuffled like a deck of cards. That creature... that bloodthirsty demon that had chased her throughout the prison, who had tried to murder her was now lying helpless, whimpering like a lost child.
Leave... he'll be back up, he'll chase you... she thought again, only to hear the whimper once more.
"Such pain..." he muttered.
Kalika gave a glare, and slowly moved her way towards the barrier. She gave a leap over the broken glass, then knelt beside the monster. She gasped as she dropped her knife, covering her mouth with her hands. Embedded into the monster's throat and stomach were two large shards of glass. Blood poured and dribbled from these wounds, instantly pouring onto the stone floor. The human bit her lower lip... she had the slightest feeling that in time, she would regret the action she was about to put into progress. Kalika leaned forward, placing her right hand on the monster's back. He winced at her touch, possibly shocked that she was actually there. Her left hand was placed on the boiler, then she gave a strong push. Shifting her hand to his chest, she pushed upwards, then flipped the beast on his back. He clenched his teeth, inhaling painfully as his eye squeezed shut. Kalika hushed him as she did the Builder, then leaned over the monster's body.
"This will hurt for a moment... but you'll be alright..." she said, then gripped the glass embedded into his throat.
Kalika breathed in then out, gripped the shard tighter, then all in one instant, she pulled up. The monster screamed in a suffering torment, his eye widening as saliva and blood escaped from his mouth. The scream pierced the air, filling the ears of the young human, causing her wince as she tossed the shard to the side. She placed a hand on his throat to stop the bleeding, then placed a finger on his lips, praying to God that he wouldn't bite it off.
"Shhh, shhh, it's out... it's out." she soothed, then slipped her hand to the next shard. "You just have one more... I'll get it out for you..."
The second shard hadn't troubled him. His eye followed the girl's every movement. He watched as she leaned over his body, gripping the glass shard tightly, biting her lip at the stinging slicing of her own hands as she gathered her strength, then withdrew the glass from his stomach. Squeezing his eye shut once more, the beast clench his teeth and tensed his muscles as his back arched upwards. After a moment of pain, his body relaxed as the wounds slowly began to seal shut. Kalika timidly moved away, her trembling hand reaching for the knife. The beast gazed up at her... and for a moment, the human girl saw him from a different view. His eye was so passionate, yet unable to describe. It was not along the line of pleading, yet looked helpless, as if he had been lost. She allowed her eyes to trail across his wounded feature, glancing at the wounds and mutilations he had gone through. She placed a hand on his face gently, then rose to her feet.
"I'm sorry... but I must leave." she stated solemnly, then turned towards the shattered barrier.
