(Kai POV)
I slid down the wooden door. Nothing was working. We were trapped, and in Cole's condition, this situation could be fatal. Cole looked over at me with sorry eyes. I couldn't bare to look at them. I covered my face with my hands and sat at the foot of the door. "Kai? Are you okay?"
I looked up at his face. He seemed to have lost most of the color in his face, and it looked like he would fall "asleep" at any given moment. "I should ask the same thing to you." I stood up and walked back to him. He was breathing slowly, and every now and then was having to gasp to get enough air in. I didn't think he was going to make it. What if nobody came? We could be here forever, and I'd never get to see Nya again.
After a couple minutes, Cole finally closed his eyes. "No! Come on buddy don't die on me now!" I shouted as I shook his leg. He gave a big cough before looking at me like I was crazy.
"Dude! Chill out, I'm not dead yet!" I sighed in relief as he cracked a smile. "It's been a long day, I'm really tired." He said before shutting his eyes again. I tapped on his shoulder and grinned.
"I don't think it would be a good idea to sleep right now..." I suggested.
"Why not?"
"Just...please try to stay awake." I said before standing up again. I paced the floor trying to think of what to do. Every twenty minutes or so, I'd have to flick Cole's arm to wake him up. The situation was dire. I just couldn't think of a solution. Just when I was about to give up, there was a small noise at the door. I froze in place as the door slowly creaked open.
"Hello?" A familiar voice said. I gasped and ran over to the door.
"ZANE!" I shouted as I hugged him tightly.
"Um, Kai? How long were you in here? And where is Cole?"
I pointed to Cole who had fallen asleep once again. "That doesn't matter right now. Cole is hurt very badly, we have to get him out of here." Zane's eyes widened at the sight of Cole propped up on the wall.
"He...he's alive right Kai?" He said gravely as he walked over to him. I bent down to him and flicked his nose. He immediately covered it with one hand and pushed my face away with the other.
"Wow am I really that injured?" He asked, removing his hand from his nose.
"What are you talking about?"
"I swear I can see Zane at the door."
I chuckled and grabbed Zane's wrist. "You did. We are going to get you out of here."
With Cole on Zane's back, we moved out and made our way down the hall. Checking one or two rooms as we went by them. "That's that!" I shouted from room 30. "Let's just hope that the others found the key." Zane nodded in agreement.
We made our way down the stairs to the first floor. If those assassins were scattered around the building, we should be safer now than we were before. With quiet feet, we walked to the front door, and gave it a little tug to see if it was still locked. It didn't move an inch. "Damn it!" I shouted. We were out of that dreaded room, but we were still cut off from any nearby hospital. I tapped on Cole's arm and he groaned. "How are you doing?" I asked with a small smile.
"I don't think I'll make it out of here alive..."
