Nowhere to go but down

Jenny didn't even pause, she knew she'd never make it back up the stairs in time. She was committed. As she skidded around and started down the the next flight, she could see the first few Hunters racing up the other way. Most of them were gasping for breath, after making it up two stories. She meanwhile had been going down. She was fine. She kept up her mad dash hoping to make it past them before someone could react. The first few men, teens really were two slow to do anything but blink as she shoved them aside. Then, one of them, a blond haired muscular looking young man, lost his balance as Jenny pushed her way past. She reached out to try to steady him, but with the desperation of one about to fall he latched on to her outstretched arm and pulled. Jenny thought everything would be fine for a moment, but it wasn't fated. She lost her balance and started to fall backwards down the stairs. She desperately reached out for the railing, but her fingertips brush against it and closed on air just as she began to tumble.
