Seeing the display of the hostess' true power was more than Alex's last bit of composure could handle. She desperately needed to not being in the same room as that thing anymore, so she instinctively turned and started frantically tugging on the ornate wall, hoping beyond hope that she would pry open one of the hidden entrances that had closed behind her and the others when they entered this room. What had she gotten herself into?! Was this how she was going to die?! She struggled and struggled, making more noise than she would have liked if she was consciously thinking about it, until her emotions overwhelmed her and she slumped down to the floor and wrapped her arms around her knees. She couldn't take her eyes off the demon, watching it intently like how a deer watches an approaching predator with nowhere left to run.
