Her shot

Goddamn it, she thought.

Beatrice was lightheaded from getting hit in the head.  She could feel the rusty chains on her wrist and something holding her waist, and something holding her by the thighs.. something cold.

She began to regain conscious… All she sees is the darkness, excluding the light that glowed upon her. She regained some strength and at once she tries to move, but felt a burning sensation on her back and by her shoulders. Trying to look back, she finds hooks on her shoulders… She tried to break free but only made the pain worse…

It had been 3 months when she was taken out of her hometown of Jannermont.  
All she remembered was her friends getting shot, group by group…
Her neighbors running left and right without knowing where to go…
Her brother yelling to run away, shooting the locusts away...
Her mother fall behind and killed by a ticker…
Her father squashed by a Reaver…
Being surrounded by the locusts….

Now she's here… In Nexus.

Behind her the crackling of the lock was all she heard in the shadows of what she believed to be a room…. Followed by heavy footsteps, the same ones that she heard when one of the walked up to her with the Hammerburst to her head… The noises stop, to only hear a chain and scratching on the concrete floor… the sound of something being swung….

Then something rusty pierced into her skin by her lower back - about more than three blades at once, ripping and tearing her skin apart, and a gruesome chill and pain overwhelmed her.  She tried not to scream, but to her dismay, these blades strike her many more times, in every area of her back and some on her arms. Where it hurt the most is by her ribs, where she barely breathed, and all went black...

Waking up in a cell, the stench nearly made her puke in the small space. The pain on her back was enough to drive her insane. The size was smaller than a Telephone booth. No space to move, andy space o stretch, to sit, or to even lay down and sleep..

"I need to get out of here. I want to see that sky again." She hears the machines unlocking.

"I'm not dying here!!"

Once the cell opened, she uppercutted the drone, and kicked the other, making a dash forward, to freedom. She had no clue where to go, although she saw two sets of footprints on the ground heading to the cells, and decided to go the other way… As she ran, she saw a carcass on the ground wearing the COG uniform. It looked like the body was either there for years, or the skin melted away. She stop, went to the body to only get a knife from it's leg. Tying the sheath of the knife to her left thigh, and started to run again, following the footprints as she went... She thinks she hit freedom, to only find 10 drones up front a couple feet, grouped together, and not one spotted her...

Beatrice got behind one, stabs it on the left side of its neck, and so took down the other 9… she couldn't remember how, but all she saw was an unusual shade of red... She took the Gnasher from one, some ammo, and grenades.

"Hoshtiles!!!"

"Oh no.." Some locusts behind her began to run toward her, and she needed to find her exit, and some cover - fast. She found herself running down a tunnel, dark and merky. Almost dusty, and there layed a large number of pieces that looked like it belonged to Tickers, along with shells from fired lancers and whatnot.. As she kept running, she found an unusual opening. A bright light... The blue sky, she found her freedom… Her blue sky.

"Now to get them out of the way."

She made a sharp turn into an alley; her lungs felt they were on fire. She can feel her heart pumping, her legs aching. It had been an hour and a half after her escape, and she's struggling to survive.
