Mint held hands with her mother, tears streamed down her face as they ran, hand in hand, Mint's father and brother were by her side. They ran throughout the tower, dodging the large gears and mecanics. People lay, spread out on the ground, covered in dark crimson blood. It lapped at their shoes, and Mint constantly shook her foot, determined to try to get the cracked blood away.
Mint's mother halted, and shrieked, stepping back. In front if them, blocking their path, was a large Swiftkit. It's skin was teared and it's hands were massive, the Swiftkit's feet crushing the ground below him, including the bodies.
She gagged, her eyes wide with fear. Her mother pushed her back, including her brother. The large Swiftkit grabbed Mint's mother and father, one in each hand, and her brother held Mint's arm in fear, his eyes wet. Pulling them to his face, the dead creature sniffed them both, and opened his jaws. Her mother was trembling, and her arms were stuck in the beast's grasp. He pulled her up into his mouth, and bit down. Then, he repeated practitically the same thing with her father.
She ran into a metal box, and tilted ot over so that it would cover her. "Pepper! Hurry!" She cried out to her brother, but he stood there, terrified. She looked away and heard a scream, followed by the crushing of bones. Loud footsteps sounded as the Swiftkit came closer, and Mint could feel it's hot breath on the back of her neck. The hairs on her spine prickled..... Oh, I'm dead I'm dead I'm dea- a loud boom interupted her thoughts, and before she could think, the room filled with smoke and fire. A large bomb dropped next to Mint, although it was outside of the metal box......
