She'd only come back to check on that goddamn bakery. Sook's head was splitting apart from the fear of everyone on the island, the sound of the creatures deafening her too. The only comfort she had was knowing that Adele and Nigel weren't there, instead both were safe on the other side of the door. Sook had resolved to get to Peggy's bunket with some provisions from the store she had stocked up, hoping the kids would be distracted by sweets enough to realise something was badly wrong.
Being quiet as she could was hard, though, and pinpointing who was near her when there were so many cries in her brain was difficult, if not impossible. But she had to be useful, she had to help somehow. "Please please please.." she whispered to herself as she took the back alleys towards the bakery, trying to stay away from open space where she was a target.
She had almost got the bakery when suddenly the screams in her brain went dead. Instead, it was replaced by nothing but dead air and instinct. It was near her, but where she couldn't tell. Sook took a risk and balled up her light in her hand, watching, waiting, doing nothing but trying to get to the bakery's relative safety.
It could have been five seconds or five minutes, feeling bare brick on her fingertips as she kept close to the walls. A single corner and suddenly she felt a burst of searing pain that pierced through her like a jolt of lightning that made her scream. She threw her light wide and hard, hoping to god that it was enough to have some kind of effect. She stumbled back onto the stone floor, struggling for breath as blood pooled around a puncture wound in her stomach, her arm torn.
Sook waited for the thing to take her but nothing happened, she grunted in agony and turned onto her side, trying to drag herself before she collapsed into unconsciousness.
