As Jake stood up from the library generator, he heard the ragged breaths of Yui as she ran to the door. She came flying in with adrenaline pumping through her body. She had come very close to taking a hit and it had honestly made her work harder at distracting the killer.

She headed towards the stairs, ignoring Jake as she went past. He had tried to be all friendly and nice to her after she agreed with him on the (Y/N) being bad news situation. In reality, she couldn't give less of a fuck about him. He was always an annoying person to be around and he never helped the team.

Eric came barrelling in behind her. His eyes swished from her to Jake momentarily as he stood looking back at him. It didn't take a keen eye to tell Eric was tunnelling Yui, and so Jake thought he was taking advantage of that by not running. But the vulnerable position wasn't something that Eric would ignore.

Without losing a second, he swished forward and his weapon was swung hard. Blood spewed out of Jake's neck as a long cut appeared along it. Eric didn't even stop to acknowledge the man as he fell dead, he didn't see him as nearly important or relevant enough for his attention.

He chased Yui upstairs as the Entity grumbled and claimed Jake's dead body anyway. Yui gritted her teeth at the fact she had lost her teammate.

This killer had killed Claire.

He had killed Tapp.

He had threatened and attacked her.

He had attacked Jack, Leon, Chris and Jill.

He had almost killed David.

He had abused Meg.

He had just killed Jake.

All of it... It brought out so many emotions in her.

As she reached the dead end of the walkway, her hand grabbed at the yellow tape on the railing. She leapt over the wood as Eric slashed at her. She narrowly avoided the attack and his bloodthirsty strike was enough to shatter the railing to splinters.

"I'll paint the walls with your blood, Yui Kimura." Eric jumped down. Yui scrambled towards the nearby pallet, barely able to throw it down as the landing had her fatigued.

Eric snarled at her, swinging again. His harsh strikes had been breaking pallets much quicker than they should have. Because of the amount of strength and adrenaline he put into his swing, not only did he shatter the pallet, he slashed through the huge bookcase at their side.

Yui stumbled backwards, looking left and right. There were no more pallets. She wouldn't be able to reach the vault outside in time. Eric laughed wickedly as he finally had her where he wanted. No safety in sight. He could cut out her muscles one by one... He would rip out her tongue and her throat, break her arms and legs-

Eric's mind paused as a long creak echoed through the library. Yui also stopped for a moment. She stared at her pursuer, her eyes slowly moving towards the bookcase beside him. It was only then that she realised he had taken out a full chunk from the left to the right of the wood. The creaking they were hearing was the sound of the case giving way.

"Pedicabo..." Eric whispered under his breath, kicking the table to his right out of the way with a burst of dark energy and dashing that way. Yui dove backwards and covered her head as the bookcase came crashing down. A bang shot through the whole of RPD, making Jack's ears perk up even through the sound of the generator he was fixing.

A cloud of dust was thrown up through the library, and Yui coughed a lung up as she tried to shun the substance away from her face. How the hell did Eric just manage to do that? Part of her was actually worried that he had just committed suicide by doing that. Then she remembered who she was thinking about. Her antagonist.
