You're tearing us
Chapter 11- A little aid
Rodney and Dani rushed down the hallway past the guards. Dani was running ahead of Rodney since she was faster.
"RODNEY COME ON! We're so close!" She shouted over her shoulder as they started to reach the stairs.
The scream made her stop. She turned around and saw Rodney on the floor. They got him.
Rodney looked up from where the guards held him down, "DANI GO! GO! GET OUT OF HERE! You still have a chance!" he screamed as the guards used their control sticks to beat him down.
She backed up closer to the stairs, her eyes filling with tears. Even though she barely knew him…she didn't want to leave him, "I'll Come back for you! I promise I'll get you out of here!!" She shouted to him as she turned and dashed up the stairs.
As soon as she surfaced she made a mad run for it to the woods where she hid under the cloak of night.
She stayed low to the ground as she moved, the branches cutting into her knees and hands. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she huddled into the nearest cave she found. Blood dripped down her legs from her knees as she clamped both hands over he mouth to keep from giving away her hiding place.
She heard the footsteps of the guards scanning the area. She closed her eyes and for the first time in a long time, prayed. Her heart hammered away in her chest as she pleaded with whatever gods were watching over her to keep her safe.
The footsteps faded and the sound of the out lock of the main doors could be heard. She crawled out of the cave and headed deeper in the woods.
'Who am I kidding? How in the hell can I save him? I barely saved myself.' She thought to herself as she wandered, wincing as the cuts on her knees shifted, warm sticky blood staining her pant legs.
She came to a clearing and in the middle of the clearing was a massive ring. A weird pedestal thing with symbols sat a little ways in front of it.
With a confused look etched across her face she took as step forward. Suddenly the ring started to activate, light glowing and locking things into place.
She let out a startled gasp as she backed up. She tripped over a branch and fell back staring wide eyed as blue shot out of the ring. Moments later a device with wheels and what looked like a camera rolled out.
She stood up and took a breath as she bravely walked over to it.
