The Hot Blonde

You run towards the pod that the blond had been thrown into. The egg is still sealed, the sludge slowly changing colour to a dark brown. Taking this to mean that you don't have much time left, you rip it open and reach through the sudden flood of brown slime, hoping to get a hold of the girl and pull her out. The second you feel something grip your arm, you pull back, struggling against the thick liquid to get her through. When she's come close enough that you can just barely make her out you double your efforts... and when she comes even closer and you see her snarling, barking dog-like face trying to rip you apart with its razor-sharp teeth, you let go and let her sink back into the depths. Yeah... definitely too late.

The once-human woman sinks quickly out of sight, but then you see something else in the murk. It's something brighter and shaped like an eel. You don't need to know more than that to know what it is: it's the thing that's changed her, just like it changed you, and when you killed yours the changes reversed. If it just gets close enough...

But it gets more than close enough. The smooth, glistening pink tentacle shoots out of the pod, wrapping itself around your wrist, and starts trying to pull you in. You grasp it and try to rip it apart like the last one, but no such success - this thing feels a hell of a lot sturdier, and all you seem to be doing is pissing it off. You keep struggling, trying to break its grip on your arm, but every second you waste it pulls you another inch closer.

This is not good.
