Serene's first thought when the thing stops is that she's got it contained, which would give her enough time to pull the fluid out of this thing and kill it. As she was about to start though, the goo starts sliding forward again, making her eyes go wide as it actually managed to resist her attempts to manipulate it's internal structure. Definitely not a good thing when she feels the kinds of resistance that it is putting up. This doesn't leave her with many options for combating or escaping the slime since it was fairly fast, but she had to do something.<br/><br/>She loses complete track of her abilities when she hears that scream, a quick glance telling her all she needed to know. If she tried to take either one of them along, they'd slow her down too much, but if she ran on her own, she'd have no way of knowing what was coming up. She decided quickly, and turned to start running down the hall, only getting a few steps when she heard that rumbling, though her pace didn't slow at all quite yet. From the sounds of things, she was going to get caught no matter what happened, both ways by creatures far larger than herself.<br/><br/>Thinking that the slime would rape and kill her if given the chance, and whatever that rumbling was would simply bowl her over, her options were limited. Running a bit to the side put her up against the wall, and she quickly dropped down, curling up into as small a space as she could manage while her claws went to slice a hole over the arteries in her left arm. As the blood began to flow, she drew the water too quickly from her body, congealing some of it inside her own veins while using the moisture to build a very thin shell around herself, which slowly froze into place. Weather or not it would be in time or not was up to fate as it were, while she froze a tiny bubble over the mound to ensure that she didn't lose too much more, her vision already badly blurred from the amount she had taken. Her left arm was also partially damaged, so even as she massaged it to help get the blood flowing into the limb again, it still take a day or so before she could use that hand properly.
