Chapter six: Intruder Alert

Alex pulled the wolf closer.

The wolf and Grim started to growl.

She saw a zombie shuffle into the room. "I thought you said they couldn't get in!" she cried.

A tapping noise followed behind it, like Grim walking around.

A skeleton followed the zombie in with two more zombies.

The two wolves were growling louder.

Dan's eyes widened. "Unless they spawn in the dark! Alex run!" He told her while looking for something to fight them with. "Please don't tell me I have to fight with my fists…" He muttered to himself.

Alex stood up, letting go of the wolf, who ran towards the skeleton with Grim.

It turned around and ran from the two.

Alex looked around for anything to fight with.

Dan remembered something. He gasped. "Alex follow me!"

Dan took Alex by the arm and led her down the stairs and into the room underneath the balcony.

He spotted a button by Trayaurus' desk and quickly pushed it.

A large door suddenly popped open, revealing another room for them to go into.

He led Alex inside it.

Alex squeaked in surprise as Dan pulled her along, an arrow barely missing her as he did. She pulled her eyes away from the wolves and followed him.

They ran into room which had a small stair case leading down into followed by two more stair cases on either side. Once down the stairs Alex saw a huge hallway expanding far in front of them with random weapons, armor, and other stuff.

"I showed you this room, right?" He asked while heading over to the weaponry.

She looked around. "I think so? Maybe? No?" She replied awkwardly as she followed him cause her arm was still in his grip.

They pasted a minecart made of diamond and an empty cell like area across from it.

He finally let go of her as they now stood in front of an extensive range of weapons. "Now this more like it." He said while looking for something that could do some heavy damage.

"Ooh a sledgehammer. I don't remember seeing this here before." Dan said to himself as he took it out.

Alex saw a diamond sword and picked it up. It felt light in her hands. She turned it in her hands.

"Diamond sword, nice choice." Dan commented. "Now let's go get some Zombies!" He declared as he swung the hammer.

She nodded and followed him back out.

The zombies were fighting with the dogs.

Upon seeing this, something triggered in Alex and she ran forward and started slicing through them.

They collapsed as she went.

More had joined them.

The wolves targeted the skeletons.

Dan swiftly joined in and started knocking down every zombie that came close. "Yeah! I feel like Thor!"

Alex laughed a little at that. "I bet!" She replied as she sliced through them.

A skeleton proper an arrow and shot it at Dan.

Grim leapt up and snatched it in his mouth.

"Whoa, excellent job Grim!" Dan said. He glanced at the skeleton and kicked a zombie towards it.

The zombie slammed into the Skeleton and they fell to the ground and disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Alex started working on the last couple of Zombies.

Grim and the other wolf destroyed the last skeleton.

"Phew, excellent job everyone." Dan slightly panted. "We sure show them whose boss."

Alex smiled as she finished the last zombie. "Now that they're gone-" she yawned before she could finish and blushed. "I'm exhausted."

Grim came over to Dan, his tail wagging.

"Yeah." He agreed and petted Grim on the head. "I think it's safe enough for us to take a break. Get some rest." He yawned.

She smiled a little. "You should get some too." She suggested, as she headed back up the stairs to the couch.

As she ascended them, she added, "Lupis and I will see you when we get up."

The wolf walked at her heel.

Dan smiled. "Alright. Goodnight you two." He said before walking away.

"Goodnight Dan." Alex replied as she curled up with Lupis the wolf on the couch and drifted off to sleep.

Trayaurus was still working in the testing chamber.

Dan ended up strolling around the rooms until he found a red and white bed tucked in the corner. "Ah. Here go." He said, jumping onto the bed. He relaxed his head back on the pillow.

Almost immediately he felt his eyes grew heavy and fluttered shut as he went to sleep.
