Chapter 3
BOOM!
The instant our lips met, there was a shattering explosion. I ran into the other room, Willow close on my heels. I grabbed the clean clothes that she had put out for me and jumped into them. As Willow was putting the finishing touches to her costume, I ran over and pressed the call button for the lift. After a few seconds, I regretted it.
I heard a low rumbling sound coming towards me fast.
"Get down!" I yelled, stepping out of the way myself, just as the elevator blew through the doors, literally THROUGH them, followed by a long streak of fire. "Shit!" I yelled. The tunnel for the lift was filled with fire.
I looked for a way out, but didn't see anything. Then it hit me. The glass!
"Do you have any weapons?" I asked Willow, noticing that the room was rapidly filling with smoke.
"Uh, yeah. I… uh…"
"Where?"
"Uh… Over there." She replied, regaining her grasp of the situation and pointing under her bed.
"Ok." I said, already searching under the bed. My hand grabbed onto something. I pulled it and out slid a box. Hurrying now, because of the smoke filling my lungs, I opened it. Inside was a staff made of wood that had a sharp edge. Spiked staff. Piercing I thought to myself, then my eyes alighted upon a small object that looked like a folded up fan. I grabbed it without checking it and looked into the box once more.
There was a sword. I grabbed it. There were also two guns. I grabbed those as well. I threw the staff and one of the guns over to will, I then stashed the fan-thing in my pocket and grabbed the sword and the last remaining gun. Sword in left hand, gun in right.
"Hold your breath!" I almost commanded her and pointed my gun at the glass, while gripping the sword tightly.
I was running out of breath.
I pulled the trigger.
