Sage ran over to the ladder just as the first of the slimy, gray hands gripped the edge of the platform. Her muscles straining to keep going like this with the little oxegyn she was getting by this point. She could feel her heart in her ears and felt the tidal wave of dizziness start to cloud her senses. But she forced it all away as she reached for the next rung, just one away from the window. Favoring her left leg, since the bite was starting to throb painfully and slow her down.<br/><br/>Growling quietly as she made her way to the next iron rung, she looked over at the ledge and prayed she would make this. Bracing as much weight as she dared to on the wobbling rungs, she reached for the sill but wasnt nearly close enough to reach. The ladder suddenly swayed and popped with a terrifying jolt, and one supporting rail gave way. Before she could be swung out over the street, she took an unbalanced and failing leap for the window. But only her right leg made the catch, splinter-sharp shards dug into the underside of her leg. But she ignored them as she tightened her thigh down to pull herself up into the window.<br/><br/>However, the lack of oxegyn was starting to effect her movements and she was barely able to curl up enough to grab the side of the window. Using only one hand to hold on, she held her shotgun up with her free hand and wedged the barrel between the ladder rail and brick wall. Quickly wiggling it back and forth till she heard a satisfying pop and squeal as the other rail gave way. Slowly, but without any real protest, the ladder came leaning away from the building until the angle was too steep to hold it anymore, and it collapsed. The rotters on the ladder went down with it, but did not stay down and there were more behind them.<br/><br/>Hanging upside down, she felt the blood rushing to her head as she watched the triple amount of undead than the first group gather under the fourth story window. Waiting for her to fall so they could rip her apart, their moans and groans growing louder and more desperate. "Help, please." she breathed out as she reached for Jackson.
