Zoe watched as the creature vanished. Pain registered in some part of her brain, but as she opened her lips to give voice to this hurt, red liquid quelled her speech and oozed from her mouth. The shock brought her to her knees. Her arms felt heavy and leaden, but she managed to move one high enough to trace the bottom of the jagged wound on her abdomen. A stiff breeze kicked up igniting the exposed nerve endings of her torso. In that instant, Zoe vision blurred as her eyelids fluttered wildly. Once again she tried to say something, anything, but all that resulted was a small grim bubble on her lips as the remaining air in her lungs slipped away.

Drac rushes over, his speed kicking up the snow behind him as he runs. When he reaches the dying Zoe he places a hand over the large gaping hole in her stomach, and soon Zoe feels a tiredness creep over her. Like death, cold and calming.
