She didn't know how she had gotten there, all she remembers was a large explosion rocking the foundation that she slept on. The first thing that she heard was the sounds of gunfire and the screams of agony. She quickly opened her eyes, her dark brown eyes scanning her surrounding, with blurry vision. She managed to spot her glasses near her right hand, quickly grabbing them she put them on allowing her vision to be cleared. She frowned as she took in the sight before her. Blood coated the walls and the floor, as she slowly got to her feet she could hear her boots make squishing sounds as she slowly made her way toward the door as quietly as possible.
She suddenly, heard the sound of boots echoing against the tile floors, crouching by the door she peaked around the frame to see soldiers walking toward the room she was in. Quickly she ducked back behind the door, quickly reaching for her bow that her father had given her. Thankfully it was still strapped to her back, once it was securely in her left hand, her other hand made its way toward the case of her arrows that were crafted by her own hands. Once she had her arrow in gloved covered hand, with only her thumb and index finger bare so she could grip her arrow better, she waited for the soldier to enter her line of sight.
She watched as the lights grew closer however they suddenly stopped within inch of the the doorway. However, she suddenly heard them stop and their footsteps began to fade away, she waited until she didn't hear anything. She put away her arrow, and slid her bow back on to her back. She then began to quietly make her way back toward the door as quietly as possible to see more of where she was at. As she entered the hallway she could the sounds of helicopters, near by, but was unable to pinpoint where it was. Staying crouched she began to make her way down the hall until she came to a sign telling her where several rooms were as well as where the stairs were.
"So I am in… a hospital? But where and more importantly when..." She questioned herself out loud.
However before she could ponder any further, she suddenly heard another explosion shaking the foundation once again. She managed to regain her footing before she quickly made her way down the hallway toward the staircase. As she went through the door, she was met with two men who appeared to be patients. She could see that both men were injured, however, she didn't have time to get a good look at them as there was the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Follow us- We need to get out of here." One of the spoke with a raspy voice.
She didn't question anything as she followed the men toward a gated door, there one of the doctors opened it up. However, he noticed her weapons, but didn't comment on it out of what she thought was fear. She listened as the gate began to close behind them, it was then that she suddenly, had a feeling of being like a cornered animal. Not liking the feeling she reached into a small pouch that was strapped to the belt that kept her black legging like pants up, from there she pulled out a hair tie. She quickly pulled back her short black hair back into a ponytail that rested on the back of her neck.
As soon as she was finished, she noticed that one of the men that she was following was waiting for her. She could see his bright blue beckoning her to follow him, despite being able to take care of herself, she reluctantly followed him. She gently made her way through the small crowd of people, when suddenly she stopped, bright lights were quickly beaming down the hallway blinding the people in front. Instinct took over her body as she grabbed the man that she was following, and pushed him out the way of the line of fire. As they landed on the ground with the other man not to far behind, them.
The three of them laid on the floor, listening as a man begged for his life before it was instantly snuffed out. She cringed at the sound, as she rolled over onto her stomach, laying her forehead on the cold tile and silently prayed for the man's spirit to be free.
"Who are you?" The same raspy voice that had spoken to her in the hallway, beckoning her to follow.
She looked up at the man that had spoke, quickly taking in his appearance, it was obvious he had been through hell, his face scarred and a bandaged covered his forehead,
"Talia Shimada." She replied quietly as she listened to her surrounding, however, before either men could speak their names they suddenly heard the familiar boot falls coming from the soldiers.
Talia watched as the man with the bandaged face stood up and walked over the the closed curtains. His hand up as a sign for them to wait, before he quickly proceeded down the small walkway between the two rows of closed curtains. Talia watched from underneath the curtain as the man ducked behind one of them. She could also see the familiar boots of the soldiers that were attacking this hospital. It was then she suddenly felt a hand upon her left arm, she turned to see the blue eyed man signal for her to follow him. Talia followed behind him as he crawled underneath the closed curtains and underneath the second bed, as she slid underneath the first one.
She listened and watched as the black booted soldier began to rip open the curtains and began to shoot the patients lying in the beds. Talia could only close her eyes and try to block out the screams as she quietly laid completely still and arouse the suspicion of any of these soldiers. Once the soldiers had left the room, she noticed that the man with the bandaged head followed after them quietly. He appeared to be looking around the corner before doubling back and quietly said to them,
"This way,"
Talia and the other man, slid from their respective hiding spots and followed the man out of the room. Deep down she had known that something was wrong, but now this was all cemented it down for her as thought about her home and how different it was from where she was now. However, she knew it was not the time to dwell on it, the man that was leading them suddenly spoke of blending in with the corpses outside the room. It was then that she spoke up quietly,
"You two will be the only ones that blend in, as I am sure you have noticed I will not blend in so easily."
"No shit… Damn it.. We need to get past these guards-"
Talia cut him off with a soft tone, " You need not worry about me. Go, if one of the guards discover you I can intervene to prevent you both from sustaining serious injuries."
Both men at first looked at her as if she was strange, but didn't say anything before they both got back down onto their bellies and began to crawl out into the hall with the bodies. Talia quickly placed herself to the left of the door, leaning against the wall before pulling out her bow and notching an arrow readying to strike. She closed her eyes and began to listen as the footsteps got closer and gunshots once again rang out. In her mind she knew that she was in for one hell of a fight.
