'Just one more minute.' Ashley repeated to herself.  It was then she heard Imogene's enraged shout.  'It's all been for nothing.'  She thought.  'Nothing.'  The searing pain that began to envelop her when he shoved that worm into her floated away as another vision began to float into her sight. "NOoooooo." A scream tore from her very being.  She braced her hands into ground in front of her and Kicking back with all of the force  all the rage in her, she caught the beast square in the knee.  He let go of her hair as he fell, and she surged foreward toward the axe and the dog.  One thing about dogs, they can sense when to attack, when to bite and when to get out of the way.  That dog knew that the redhead racing towards him was not to be stopped.  still screaming, Ashley picked up the axe, and dashed back to where it lie.  She brought the blunt side of the Axe down across the man's crotch again and again to kill the worm that threatened to her friends.
