Inez didn't get a chance to look at the face of the man holding her tight. Gritting out, she slashed her claws at the man's wrists. The intruder loosened his hold on her enough for Inez to rush toward the alarm button and press it, but just as she did, the man tackled her, sending her down on the floor.
Again, the two of them started to wrestle, but this time around, as the man's hands locked around her neck, she lost. Inez didn't wish to admit it, but she did. With the venom in her body, she could barely move, let alone fight or rush for the water. As all the breath in her lungs started to leave, her vision began to darken, and her body became completely paralysed.
However, as her body started to become more and more numb, a tranquillity started to sit within her. It pushed away the panic that was clawing inside of her. However, just as the darkness started to set in, the weight on her body was pushed away, and Inez felt someone yell her name.
