She cannot bring herself to move, as broken as she is. She thinks she can hear herself crying, but maybe the sound is entirely inside of her head. Blood flows freely down her legs and pools beneath her, startlingly crimson against this landscape of greys and whites, and she wonders if it is the only color in this place.
Originally, she had thought herself deaf - but suddenly, there is noise echoing from across the gloom. Frenzy turns her head towards the first sound, and then the second, and third, and so on. The noises fill her with a fear that she cannot match words to - all she knows is that she is very, very afraid. This is no place for a child or any being from Beqanna. They do not belong here, the some-teen amount of them, and dread fills the girl's gut as strange beings materialize all around her. Or had they been here the entire time?
Was it her blood that attracted them to the group?
Frenzy shudders as their strange forms twist all around her, unable to make out a clear shape because of their monstrous speeds. They are all dark, colorless - fearsome. She sees talons, and teeth, and a misshapen blur that could be something winged, but she can't be sure. Perhaps it is her sudden blood loss that has her so out of sorts, or perhaps this place is just so broken that they don't look like anything she could ever imagine. It comes as no surprise when one of them finally lashes out at her, but still, she cannot withhold her screaming as the reckoning begins.
A snap, and she is on her knees again, as a creature wraps its mouth around her hip and pulls. She can feel the bone being pulled from its socket and she cries out in sudden agony.
Her cries only seem to excite the creatures, and they begin to chitter delightedly.
The attacks come frequently now, and she wonders what it will be like to die outside of Beqanna. Will she be able to return to the Afterlife there, to at least watch over her siblings, or does she just simply cease to exist? She loses herself in the pain and allows herself to float along as they ruin her, piece by piece. A nibble here and a rip there, until she is nothing but endless blood and agony and perhaps she no longer even exists - maybe this is all in her head, and she'll wake up back in the nest with her family.
She doesn't notice then the Dark God reaches for her, and pulls her back through the worlds and onto the beach. She is perhaps one of the last to awaken, and when she begins to stir the pain returns, engulfing her. She sobs then, wailing for a mother she never knew and a father who truly cares. Blood drips from wounds all over and she doesn't have her healing to fix this; she only prays that something, anything, can come and take it all away.
Perhaps a second death will be sweeter than the first.
