Chapter 5: Hide and Seek
Sera was starting to regain her consciousness for the third time today. It's been a long day and the end is still not in sight.
"...Agghh...Fuck..." She was almost getting used to the constant pain and suffering.
As the pain cleared her mind suddenly her eyes flew open and hatred ignited in it.
"I'm...going...to...kill...that...fucking...PIGEON!"
She didn't care about anything anymore. The only thing on her mind was killing the angel. She didn't care that it was way more powerful than her, and just by looking into it's eyes she would go insane.
The only thing that mattered was killing it.
She looked around but couldn't see much. She tried to move but she felt a piercing pain on the right side of her chest.
"Those are probably some broken ribs, my left hand and right leg hurts like hell as well they are probably broken."
'I need to know the situation around me.' Sera was thinking of a way to make light, she could move her right hand freely, which had the watch on it.
"I'm so dumb. Watch turn on the flashlight." Suddenly a small light came out of the watch.
Sera moved the light around to see her situation, it didn't look too promising. She was properly encased in debris. There was one large block on her right leg.
"Well that explains the pain...AHH...Why did I try to move it? Fuck."
She took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself and looked around her surroundings again, there was not much she could do other then try to move the debris out of the way and crawl out. But that could cause a collapse.
"Well it's not like I have any other choice."

Sera started moving the rocks around her stuck left hand first, it was pretty easy and nothing collapsed on her head. Then she began moving the debris from her leg. She dug out a hole that she could pull her leg out of.
"This part's going to suck."
She pulled out her belt and put it between her teeth so she doesn't accidently bite her tongue of, then she took a deep breath and began pulling.
"...UGGHH...Oh fuck..."
She screamed her lungs out, but the leg was out and she only nearly passed out from the pain.
"Now I only have to dig myself out." She said and without wasting a second began digging.
She didn't have to dig long. She saw the sunshine through a slit between two rock. It was the most beautiful thing she ever seen.
She redoubled her efforts of clearing a way out and in a couple of minutes she was already crawling out of her tomb. She immediately laid down on the ground closed her eyes and enjoyed the Sunlight. She didn't know how long she spent underground but it felt like an eternity.
Sera after a couple of minutes remember, that she was basically in a warzone. So she decided to crawled out of the crater where her house was to look around but what she saw destroyed any happy thought she had.
All around her only destruction could be seen. The city as far as she could see, was destroyed.
"Well I don't know what I expected. I probably should go." Then she moved her right leg and was promptly reminded that it was broken as she was falling down, she of course used her hands to lessen the force of the fall but it just ignited pain in her right side and left hand.
"Argh... I need to make a splint."
But she forgot about the fact that there were still monsters throughout the destroyed city.
While she was looking around for something to make a splint with, she heard something moving behind her. She turned around as fast as she could, there was something moving below the debris.
Before the thing could see her she hid behind a large pile of rubble. There was a sound of something moving through and displacing the rocks. Sera looked out from behind the outcropping.
She saw the monster, it wasn't just any kind of monster. It was the Hellhound from before and it seemed to be injured.
She needed to do something, yeah the Rotten creature was injured but it was still could kill Sera without much trouble, even if she weren't injured herself.
'What should I do?'
As she was scrambling for an idea, there was a sniffing sound and movement behind her, the Hellound was 30 or so meters away from her.
'Ahh...fuck it!'
She grabbed the first thing she saw, which was some metal fragment cut her hand with it and threw it as far away from her as possible.
Luckily for her the Sun was on her side of the outcropping and it was late afternoon so it hung pretty low. It was perfect for masking the fragments trajectory.
The hound didn't waste a second and went after the fragment. While Sera ran the other way of course with caution to not alert the hound or some other monstrosity.
She arrived at a road or at least something that resembled a road. She started following it trying to find someplace where she could figure out what to do next.
As Sera went she had to hide a couple of times luckily none of them had as good of a smelling as that Rotten Hellhound. Which made it a lot easier to hide from them and wait while they passed her.
As she was moving through the city, she remember the titanic fight above her.
'Wonder who won.'
She remembered the angel and her wrath reignited itself.
'I wanted to kill that stupid pigeon, but if not then at least I hope Beastbane clipped that bastards wings.'
While she was thinking this she looked around and realized that for some reason no monster seemed to be willing to approach this area of the destruction.
Sera went forward a couple more steps and happened upon a crater, she looked down and was startled for a second.
Then slowly she came back to her senses, and within a heartbeat a wide grin appeared on her face. She then proceeded start laughing with a dark glee so hard, that she nearly fell over.
