After a few minutes of the terrifying screech, Hope's voice died off. She coughed a few times then dropped onto her left, uninjured arm. Her left thigh was still pierced by the piece of wood, but it was more towards the middle so laying down wouldn't affect her. Hope tried to keep still in a straight line until Grant 'came to the rescue', [i]if[/i] he comes for her anyway. [i]My titan scream was too loud and too recognizable for him to ignore, so he must be coming any minute now,[/i] she thought to herself, then closed her eyes and passed out.
