Alternative version to the beginning of chapter 7 but decided to change it to make Eric more of a hateable character.
[Alternate Chapter] Broken (Sarah POV)
Sarah was brimming with excitement as she walked down the empty city streets, first she had regained her freedom, then she got to see her parents and friends again and now she was going to see Eric, the love of her life. As she reached the lower east side she saw a single office block that was bustling with activity, that had to be the building General Monger was referring to. She kept out of sight of the office building; she wanted to look presentable to Eric after recent events and the fact they hadn't seen each other in over a month.
Sarah needed a mirror, which was a problem at her size. She then looked down the street and saw a sky scraper with tinted windows; it was the perfect substitute for a mirror. Walking over to it she got the first good look of what she looked like now, her figure looked much the same, if not a bit more muscular, she flexed her body just for a bit of fun. She then checked to see if her facial features had changed but the only real change was her hair, it was still long and wavy but instead of a dark brown it was now a golden colour. It glistened in the rays of the evening sun, Sarah had never dyed her hair but she thought the new colour looked good, she was sure they didn't sell hair dye in this colour or in a large enough quantity.
She then returned to her appearance, she still had dust and debris from Lady Liberty on her shirt and pant legs, there was also bits of rubble in her hair. She dusted herself off, large clumps of debris falling onto cars and smashing their roofs and windscreens and dust now covering the street. She then noticed a nearby railing and had an idea, pulling it out of the ground she used the spikes at the end of the railing like a comb and easily combed out the rubble in her hair as well as getting rid of any knots. Finally she was finished, she took another look at herself in the tinted building, she felt ready to see Eric now.
She walked up to the building but there were three floors and they were all crammed with people, Eric could be on any of them. It was then she noticed a man on the roof smoking a cigarette; he had his back to her so he didn't see her approach. She walked up to him and cleared her throat, "Erm, excuse me?"
The man turned around and nearly fell over as he looked up to see the giant woman looking at him, the woman smiled kindly at him and asked again, "Excuse me? Do you know which floor Eric Beadle is on?"
The man stammered for a few seconds before calming himself, "Y-yes, third floor, next to the elevators!"
"Thank you very much," she said sweetly. She crouched down till she was out of sight, the guy looked at his cigarette and mumbled "Tomorrow I'm quitting!" before passing out.
Sarah looked at the top level where the man said Eric would be, she peered closer to get a good look at the whole floor, there were hundreds of people rushing about. She eventually caught sight of Eric; he was hanging outside an office, he was talking to someone, she lightly tapped the window with her finger to get his attention, but instead she got the attention of everyone in the building. Mass panic rang out as everyone started making for emergency exits, fortunately Sarah could see that Eric had not moved so she gently reached inside, the building was deep and she had to press her body into the building so she could reach further.
Not being able to see where Eric was, she felt her arm brush against plants and knock over office cubicles until she felt a body that was surely Eric's so she took hold of him. Slowly she lifted him and carried him towards the window, careful not to bash him into numerous obstacles. Finally she got Eric out the window and held him in both hands, Eric had his hands in front of his face, slowly lowering them he was able to look at his captors face, "S-Sarah!" he spluttered.
