Sorry it took a while, my laptop sort of crashed.
Raven was terrified. All that was going through her head right now, was how stupid she had been to grab that gun and shoot at him. She regretted…wait, no she didn't. If she hadn't done anything, who knows what would have happened to that girl. Probably what was going to happen to her…
She clawed at his hands and tried to bring her legs up to kick him hard in the gut. Nothing. He wouldn't budge. And the blade of his sword was only getting closer. A couple more inches and it would be at her throat…three more inches…two…
A loud screech pierced the air and Raven fell to the ground on her side. Getting her bearings, she looked up to see the Yautja suspended in the air above her by the tail of a large praetorian piercing his chest and dripping glowing green blood at her feet. Snapping out of shock by the sound of blood splattering on the pavement, she scrambled to her feet and made a run for the Facility doors.
Halfway there, she was shot at and caught between two Yautja warriors, a Xeno and another warrior meters from each other and shooting at each other. She immediately crouched down behind what looked to be a metal luggage carrier. Stupid move. She should have kept moving, she could've made it. Still covering herself with her arms, she attempted to crawl and drag the carrier along past them. More shooting, causing bits of concrete to rain down on her. Terror and despair filled her. Raven was stuck and didn't know what to do. If she tried to move, she could be killed by one of their gun blasts.
Just when she thought she was eventually going to be shot and killed by one of the blasts, she was snapped up by strong, muscled arms, a Yautja warrior, drenched in what could only be another Yautjas blood as he did not seem the least bit injured. She yelped as he tossed her over his shoulder, 'spoke' in a series of clicks and began to run. Not knowing whether this guy was good or bad, Raven struggled against him as he weaved through the battlefield-made landing platform and dodged gun blasts. Which after a minute or two, she found resisting to be useless. However she was still panicked by not knowing what was going on. Then she heard screaming behind her and looked up over her shoulder. A few ways ahead was the back entrance to the Facility. There were some people there dressed in white coats and Facility uniforms yelling and waving their arms for the Yautja to go faster. Raven relaxed a tiny bit as she realized she was in good hands, figuratively speaking.
The two finally reached the back entrance and the Yautja slid her down from his shoulders into the open arms of the Facility members. Ignoring the blood smearing on the front of her nightshirt, she gave him a very grateful thank you before he made his way back to the ongoing fight.
Once inside, two women in Facility uniforms led her away down a hallway while the others quickly closed the doors.
"Wait! What's happening? What's going on? Please tell me!?" Raven pleaded.
"I'm sorry," answered one of the women as all three of them entered a type of elevator "we can't answer any questions at this moment, but soon."
"Is it because you don't know…or because you just don't want to tell us?"
"No, don't worry." the woman laughed softly "We just want all of the girls together when we do explain what is happening. And it's ok now, it's just about over, relax." She was right, the sounds were beginning to die down, but just barely.
"Ok, and when will that be?" Raven asked as they led her to what would now be her new room at the Facility.
"Soon." the other said simply. She opened the door, allowed Raven in and left.
Left alone in the room, she calmed and settled down…eventually. Remembering that she was supposed to be placed near Sarah, she rushed to the door only to find it locked. Okay…that's not creepy…at all, she thought sarcastically to herself as she stood there, jiggling the door handle. Like that's gonna do any good. She gave up and turned back to the room.
It was much like the one on the ship, only a little bigger. Pitch black walls, but this time the border was in a white light instead of blue. Either way, it created an amazing effect on the rest of the room. The floor was covered with a gray type of wood and had three beautifully decorated violet rugs throughout the room. The king-sized bed was stretched longways against the wall on the far side to the left separated by a small nightstand with another Bible and iPad on it. The wall on the left with the headboard of the bed against it held another door. Curious, Raven walked over and peered in. A bathroom! She had a bathroom now and it was totally amazing! She wanted to take a shower so bad, the drying blood on her shirt was now starting to smell. And bad. But she had no spare clothes with her, it was back at the ship. Wait. She went back to the room and spotted the closet on the right wall across from the bed. "Yeessss." she hissed excitedly when she discovered three sets of sweats in white, grey and black. She snatched up the grey set in the middle and went back to the bathroom.
Forty-five minutes later, Raven walked out towel drying her hair and plopped down on the bed. Grabbing a magazine that was on a corner near the pillows, she began to flip through it. The pages were filled with information about the Facility. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner times and menus, a schedule on when the main garden, pool, and sports areas were open, when you could go to the library, class schedules…it felt a tad bit like prison. A luxurious prison, she rolled her eyes and set the magazine down.
Raven noticed something across the bed by the closet. Sliding from the bed, she slowly walked over and kneeled down by it. It was what seemed like an extremely thin slit running up the wall, she almost hadn't noticed because of the blackness of the wall. She ran her fingers on it and followed it upwards. As she stood up, almost three feet above her it came to a sharp right angle. A few feet from that, another, going down. Taking a few steps backwards, now knowing where the lines where, to Raven it sort of appeared like a door…yet there was no handle or anything to open it. Huh, she thought, hand on her hips, tilting her head. Strange…
Hope you liked! :)
