You know the feeling where you stand between dreams and reality? Drifting in and out of consciousness, your body tiring out and wanting nothing but rest but your mind yearning to stay awake?
That was me, in the mirrored apartment room. I decided to camp out, giving up on my persuit of the young woman and anyone else. I couldn't find anyone and sitting on the floor, leaning against the mirror I started to drift off.

I guess it wasn't until I started hearing the noises that I awoke properly. I couldn't explain the sounds properly, like a dull thudding I guess.

And a...God I can't explain it...thing came...a brown four legged thing came crashing through the doorway and reared up just as I got on my feet and slid out of the way.
I have no weapons. None at all so this wasn't particularly the best time to be attacked by some squirmy demon thingy...but I managed to get out as the thing clunked after me and the woman..the young woman who had run off beforehand appeared from a hallway and yelled at "daddy" to leave her and everyone else alone.
She glanced at me and her look..I could read it. It was the same look Carlos....Chris..everyone back home had when one of Umbrella's creatures came.
She knew what it was and she knew what would happen if she stuck around for too long.
And she watched me for those few seconds as if trying to come to some sort of decision and then gestured for me to follow.

....

We escaped the creature, but barely.
I'm on the lookout. She sits in a corner, watching me warily. Sometimes she mutters things. Sometimes she sobs. I don't know her name and she worries me just a little. She avoids questions about the creature and cried when I tried to pursue her for an answer...doesn't let me anywhere near her.
I honestly don't really know what to do about her...All I know is that the best objective would be to keep her close. I know how to handle her should she cause trouble.
