Tumnus' front is covered with blood that is all too fresh as he shambles across the grounds. He fed on his first victim, but the anger that beats beneath his skin is unsatiable. He wants to kill and maim, to rend flesh from bone in the most violent and primal of manners.

In his left hand he drags a bloody umbrella, his nostrils flaring as he scents and scans the area for anything that might stumble across his path.

His steps fall silent as the sound of racking coughs reaches his ears and his head turns slightly in the direction the sound comes from. His blood flecked lips pulls back from his teeth and he snarls, hooves clipping against the stone as he trudges in that direction.

He stops when the coughing stops, still not having a visual on his newest target .. until Chloe coughs again.

His bloodshot blue-grey gaze swings around and spies her, doubled over at the bottom of the stairs. He's moving before his infected mind can even register the signal to do so, quickly closing on the young woman as he raises his umbrella like a club to bring down upon the unsuspecting Chloe.

Attempting to breathe through her coughing and the ache gradually growing in her head was quite the distraction. Her head felt much too hot, she probably had a fever, and she had already lost the non-contents of her stomach twice. Still. Even coughing comes to a rest eventually--and hoof-beats clomping her way down the stairs are not something she is going to miss when she is this panicked--even through her hazy sickness.

She is slower than she is used to, however, and her mind process has dimmed somewhat thanks to her high fever. Glassy eyes look slowly towards the staircase, her mind not processing what she was seeing. Blood. That became apparent first. Then a familiar face.

Tumnus.

Her grip on her ratchet tightens and she only has half a second to answer the slow question forming in her mind.

Foe.

Definitely foe.

A shriek forms in her throat and she turns to run, knowing it's much too late. Her panic rises as her stomach leaps to her throat.

Oh god, she was going to die!

Let me know if there's anything I need to change, and I will. <3

Tumnus brings down the umbrella .. hard.

Then he leaps atop the girl with a gutteral snarl, pummeling with fists and raking with nails against any skin he can gain purchase on.

If he can get ahold of her, he'll pull her in and sink teeth into any flesh he can manage.

You're fine! <3

Chloe cries out at that first hit from behind--she knew she had started to run too late. As she falls to the ground, she's reminded of another time this happened to her--when Tori attacked her and left her in a crawl space with dead bodies. This was no crawl space, however the zombie was very real.

Panic seizes her. Chloe scrambles up to hands and knees automatically, then falls back down to the ground--air knocked from her lungs as Tumnus falls on her. Pain ensues, and Chloe holds her breath before giving in and crying out again. She doesn't want to be that damsel in distress found screaming her head off, but she's rather live through the humiliation than die here.

"D-d-d-don't!" Chloe attempts to roll over, only then remembering the small hatchet she has in hand. Her grip on it tightens as she twists for a better angle--when suddenly he's grabbing her and biting harshly into flesh.

The pained and strangled scream echoing off walls in response is not something Chloe can hold in. Desperately, Chloe swings the hatchet in Tumnus's direction in an attempt at self-preservation, her entire form shaking with adrenaline, panic, and fear.
