The cannon loomed. 

Quinnlash stared up at it, tripping, lurching, falling forward step by step. She tried to keep her eye on the elevator and keep [color=black]running running it SEES you Quinnlash you need to runrunrun[/color] but it blazed like fire and sunlight and she reached up to shield her eye as she kept running[color=black]RUNNING QUINNLASH RUN IT'S HUNTING IT'S HUNTING [b]YOU[/b] QUINNLASH RUN[/color]

There was no running she couldn't RUN there she couldn't [i][color=black]runnnnnnnn.[/color][/i] She'd heard the sound of the cannon, she'd seen the stream of annihilation pouring from it as it blazed and flashed against the bottom of the clouds and turned the sky into hellfire. She was nothing in front of it but still it was [color=black]hunting her and she was running Quinnlash run it KNOWS YOU![/color] But there was no running. The light was blinding. She knew she knew she KNEW [color=black]she[/color] was about to die.

Then there was a FL  A SHHH H———

The cannon was hurled away. She almost couldn't see for a second, afterimages of the burning light in her vision as a Savior with big glow-y chains—

[color=green][i]Watch for the one with the big, glow-y chains, that’s me.[/i][/color]

It was Safie.

Oh no no no no no it was Safie she couldn't be here she wasn't [color=black]RUNNING QUINNLASH YOU NEED TO[/color] she was going to be hurt but [color=black]run RUN it's still looking for she can't hold it it's going to HUNT you [b]HUNT[/b] you you need to RUN RUN RUNRUN[/color]

She kept running. The elevator shaft blinked with bright cherry light that came closer to the ground every second. She needed to [color=black]run[/color] or else she wouldn't make it and it would find her and Besca was up there and she would keep her safe she would protect her she would know what to do why there was so much [color=black]noise[/color][b][/b] in her head why she needed to run RUN [i][b][color=black]RUN!!!![/color][/b][/i]

The titans clashed above her. Her legs felt like they would give out any second. Her vision felt like it was closing in. Her throat felt like it was bleeding and there was a strange [color=black]taste[/color] leaking down it and she didn't know why any of this was happening or what she was doing here why she couldn't stop the [color=black]voice.[/color]

The elevator couldn't be far now. It couldn't. It just couldn't. It couldn't it couldn't it couldn't.

She kept running.
