Hot, viscid plasma gushed from the monster's mouth onto her, her face hit with its curdling shriek. Jessica was overwrought, squirming desperately, struggling to find a way out from underneath the creature without getting thrashed to death. That was a very real possibility, she realized in a short second of clarity, when everything slowed down, and all she could sense was the loud thump of her heartbeat, counting down to her imminent end. A sharp fleeting light cut in and out of her periphery- No. No, this wasn't over, she wasn't going to go like this.
Suddenly she was in real time again, all the environmental elements assaulting her senses at once. She felt a slight tremble at first, then when her vision came back, saw the monster staggering on its back legs, steaming gore spilling from its side. Its spiky arms flailed around wildly, its booming cry of agony almost disorienting. Jessica pushed herself up on her elbows and dragged herself backward, coming out of her momentary daze. The bright energy had come from Nick's weapon- she glanced over at him briefly, then back to the beast falling back on all fours, weakened.
Jessica stretched her arms out in front of her, bio-electricity draining from her veins into her finger tips, and discharged a fatally charged bolt at the monsters face, using all her energy to burn a hole through its head.
