Evangeline didn't notice the blood trail immediately. Her mind was still trying to find an adjustment, but she took a deep breath when Eric helped her get on her feet. After a few seconds to make sure she could stand up alone, she nodded to Eric. Her intention was to thank him, but she was still shaken.<br/><br/>After a long and deep breath, the nurse finally noticed the blood on the floor. Her mind started jumping to possibilities, none of which a pleasant one. Her heart started beating so fast she feared it would burst out of ther chest, but she tried to keep herself together. Panicking at the moment would not be helpful at all.<br/><br/>Even though Evangeline's first instinct was to go check on whoever was wounded, her second - and stronger - one was to stay where she was and listen to Eric. After all, she did want and need to survive. And survival seemed to be something involved in their current situation.<br/><br/>As Eric told her what to do, she nodded obediently. It wouldn't cross her mind not to listen to him in that situation. Her eyes locked in on his, and she paid attention to every word. "Don't worry. I'm following", Eva murmured softly as Eric paused. "I may be quieter for a while, but I'm listening."<br/><br/>She nodded again when he told her not to scream and not to stray too far from him. Another nod when he asked if she was ready, and she started following Eric's instructions. Despite her racing heart, she managed to keep her cool and do as she was told. Very silently, she moved to the panel and opened it. With a deep breath,she pressed the button and moved to stay behind Eric. The first thing she saw, that wasn't too heavy for her to carry and swing if necessary, was a wrench, which she picked up and gripped firmly.<br/><br/>"Eric", she called, keeping her voice down. "If... whatever happened to them happens to me... don't let me go around biting people. End it. Okay?" She didn't sound emotional or dramatic. She sounded more like she was talking about a very simple and practical matter.
