Katya didn't do as asked, though she probably should have. Her eyes stung as if she'd stared into the sun. WHAT the hell was that? It was like, like nothing she'd ever seen. She blinked and the creature was gone. But she still really only saw dots and lines and flickers of light in he vision. Had she really she either the creature or the blinding light.
She took a deep breathe and hurried up the stairs to safety. Surely it would stay away at least that long. Katya almost fell climbing the stairs she was in such a hurry.
The lights were still out. The darkness was everywhere in the hall that they entered from the stair well. Katya flashed her light one direction then the other. The sun had to be up now. Her fear struck her into an anxiety attack. She panted with fear. There was no light anywhere. Katya clutched the flashlight to her. Now that the basement was behind her, the halls seemed less likely to frighten her.
A woman came out of the nearby hallway pushing a stroller with a crying child. Katya nearly jumped out of her skin. The woman strolled passed them in the dark like nothing had happened. Like the lights going out was part of the daily routine. Katya smiled, it actually was. But how long had they been down stairs. Katya's panic changed from fear of her own life to her computer equipment upstairs. It was going to crash any minuite now. She should have turned it off. But here crunching would have been all for nothing. The entire night wasted because of that stupid creature. It had to be the one to chew through the wires.
Katya turned to Jensen. "Um. Thanks. I...", she didn't know how to explain, "I have to go turn off my computer."
It was all she could think of. She didn't elaborate. She could imagine any number of questions he could be asking. Katya ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time.
(OOC: feel free to follow her. She'll tell you how to get free wifi for your wallet if you want lol.)
