Emily was indeed unconscious but breathing steadily, but she had bruises on her arms and scratches on her forehead and chin that had dripped a few drops of blood. Her shirt was torn and her hair was a mess - she looked like someone had beaten her up.
When Spencer turned her around and called her name, she flinched, and slowly regained consciousness. It occurred to her that someone was crouched over her, and thinking it was still that horrible creature, she suddenly pushed Spencer away from her with force and tried to back away. Only then she realized it was a friendly face in front of her now, and she stopped leaning her back against the railing of the staircase, and started sobbing in shock.
