The monster was like a giant bird with featherless, rotting skin and chains
wrapped around its body, although it looked a lot more sinister than a
bird, and Robyn couldn't quite pinpoint how.
By now, she was wishing she'd taken the gun from the room earlier, but now that'd have to wait until she was done here...
The room she was in was like a giant hall, with a pulsating, flesh-like floor and walls with rusted pipes protruding. Right over the other side of the room was a computer, and dozens of switches, all of them completely void of any flesh, rust, or blood.
Robyn guessed that she'd have to try and get over there, but the huge bird- monster wasn't going to make it easy for her. She threw her rusted pipe at its head, knowing that it wouldn't have been much use in a close combat, seeing as the bird would have been able to eat her alive with one snap of its beak.
The pipe clonked the bird on the head with a sickening crack, making the monster cringe in pain, before screaming with an almighty roar,
'Maybe that wasn't such a good idea' – Robyn thought to herself diving away from a giant, forceful peck, and landing face down in the floor, which smelt so badly like rotting flesh, that it made Robyn vomit a little.
She stood again, and turned to face the bird as it came in with its talons brandished in a mortally wounding attack. But, as it came in for a slash and grab, Robyn dived under it, rolled, and listened as it clashed into the wall behind her, sending chunks of dust and concrete flying out.
Robyn didn't take time to stop, and look at her enemy... it was probably still alive anyway. She ran over to the computer and started to tap away at the keys, just like she'd done when she was trying to find James. She'd learnt a few tricks from hackers on the chat sites, and now used them to access security cameras in the real world, and watch as she lowered the boating ramp.
Whilst she was waiting for the ramp to be lowered, she stumbled across access to the steam ducts for the pipes in this room, and a blueprint to help guide her.
She turned to see which pipes the monster had its head lodged in, and saw that it was flailing its wings, trying to free itself from the crumbling walls. The pipes around it were still intact, although slightly bent and flimsy. Robyn hoped that they'd still be able to spray steam.
By typing in a few commands on the computer, she opened up a valve on one of the pipes, and sprayed steam all over the festering creature. Suddenly, under the weight of the concrete, the pipes gave way, and steam exploded all over the huge monster, melting its skin instantly.
When the steam had mostly dissipated, Robyn made a dash for the elevator, grabbing her rusted pipe off the floor as she did so, just in case the handgun was no longer there when she tried to go back. She reached the elevator doors, and pressed the call button... But nothing happened.
She pressed it again...
... Still, nothing...
... There was a crumbling sound as the monster pulled away from the wall, bleeding horrifically everywhere, and looking more terrifying than ever...
... Robyn was pressing the call button furiously...
... And still nothing happened,
The monster glided around the room, swooping around in the other direction with its disgustingly gross beak aimed directly at Robyn.
The elevator doors finally opened, and Robyn leapt inside, and started to press the button for the seventh floor. The elevator doors started to slowly close, and the monster was getting closer...
... And closer,
... So close that Robyn could smell its vomit-inducing, bile-like breath...
... Close enough to see the murderous intent in its eyes...
The doors squeezed shut, but a moment too late. Suddenly, they bent in where the monsters beak collided with them. The elevator cable was heard snapping overhead before there was a falling sensation, a crack...
... Robyn was taken back to bus, which felt so long ago... and then, black...
