"Well I may not know who you are, but I do know who I am. I am a person named Ash. Were all kinda the same here. I mean I..." The voice trailed off as more voices flooded the area. Gutteral and distorted. Erasers. And there were a lot of them. I tensed, ready to fight, and a few heartbeats later, the area was spinning with snarls and spitting. Heavy footfalls closed in on me fast, and I sidestepped last-second, locked my knees in and thrust my arm out. The Eraser's neck hooked in the crook of my elbow, and I grinned as I felt the weight of his body swing out from underneath him and a body crash into the floor. Perfect clothesline. A swift hoof to the head finished the job. Pumped with adrenaline, I twisted toward the thickest zone in the fight, breath hot and muscles itching to work.
A tiny scream stole my attention. That was Angel's voice. Sprinting in her direction, I heard another yelp-- weaker this time-- and pushed my legs to move faster. The third time I heard her it was only a gasp, about five feet away from where I was. There was a crunch. A light thud.
I faintly noticed that I tackled the Eraser to the ground. Sort-of recalled that I snapped his neck. What really held my attention was Angel. On my knees, my hands searched frantically for her body. My fingers brushed soft skin; clasped a frail arm. "Angel." She didn't respond. I shook her arm. "Angel." Still nothing. "Angel, you okay?"
I heard Jazz cry out, heard that new voice roar. I heard Fang exhale, I heard Max yell. I heard the Erasers grunt. Angel was right in front of me, in my arms, but I couldn't hear her at all. I shook her more roughly this time, getting annoyed. "Angel, this isn't the time to joke around. C'mon."
She didn't even twitch.
"Angel..." I brought my fingers to the girl's neck, knowing what I'd find, but not wanting to accept it. I waited a few seconds. No pulse. Angel's neck was twisted at a weird angle. A bone jutted out unnaturally. There was no red. My hand dropped.
I felt like I was choking. My skin burned. It physically hurt to touch Angel's body. I held her tighter.
