Evangeline's mind wasn't working quite properly yet. The grief over what very likely had happened to her father had taken its toll on her nerves. Yet, the nurse knew that, at the present situation, surviving was the most important thing she could think of. And helping Eric survive was a part of this process. Evangeline had to admit she wasn't physically strong, and that her strengths were different. So maybe by stick together they had a chance of being okay.<br/><br/>Though she felt nervous and sort of edgy, the nurse focused on the door. Her heart was racing and she was gripping the wrench with every last bit of strength she could gather. If<span style="font-style: italic">something</span>was inside, they'd better be ready for it. Talking about the finer points of the situation could wait. It<span style="font-style: italic">had</span>to wait.<br/><br/>When Eric turned the door knob, Eva's eyes moved and stayed focused on the door. She stood her ground, ready to use her weapon at whatever came her way. It was somewhat against her basic instincts to harm another creature, but her survival instinct spoke louder - loud enough to make sure she would do whatever she head to to stay alive.<br/><br/>The squeak given out by the door made the girl grit her teeth, almost not realizing what she was doing. The movement behind the door made her focus again, her improvised weapon ready for action. When Eric fell backwards, she swallowed hard.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Oh, God, please, don't let him get killed</span></span>. After this short and desperate prayer, she moved to take action. One thing at a time, she thought.<br/><br/>After a split second to think, she decided keeping the only ally she could count on alive was a very urgent matter. Her gaze moved quickly as she formed a plan. Even though she knew she was putting herself on harm's way, Eva moved closer to Eric and his attacker. Without any warning - giving him a heads up would obviously alert the zombie-like creature - Eva swung her weapon against the creature's head, hoping it would be somewhat useful in getting it away from Eric.
