After her first initial scream did not do anything to change her situation, Emily did the next most logical thing. She screamed again, and again, and again…
With another loud scream she shot up and scrambled off the bed. In her haste, she got wrapped up in the covers, and they clung to her legs. She tried to kick them off but that made things worse, and the next thing she knew, Emily was tilting backwards. She hit the ground with a loud thud, her side aching distantly as she found herself staring up at the ceiling in a daze.
Getting back up, she reached down and untangled her legs, making sure that she was ready to run. It was only after her legs were free that Emily allowed herself to look up. She had been lucky enough that the person who had grabbed her, had not attacked while she had been freeing her legs. Now she had to face them before they thought to pounce on her.
