Nightshift 45: East Wing, Hall A [First Floor]

Nov 23, 2009 12:10

( From here.Sean rounded the corner, Chris in tow, and skidded to a stop (fortunately not wearing shoes had helped him run faster, though his feet felt uncharacteristically dirty--the floors were clean, weren't they?). He looked around frantically in the dark for at least one glimpse of a member of the night staff. Nothing. He and Chris were on ( Read more... )

( From here.)

Sean raced through the door, hatchet in hand, skidding to a stop a few feet in. "Come on!" he called, gesturing Chris through the door. How Chris was able to carry Schuldig, he wasn't sure, but it was working well enough.

Once Chris was through with Schuldig, he pushed the door shut.

He heard the beast pounding behind him and forced himself to move even faster, feeling the wounds on his legs tearing open further, and stumbled slightly. He felt Schuldig slip slightly and looked up at Sean.

"He's slipping," he shouted, then gasped as he stumbled once against just before he managed to cross the threshold.

The sounds of pursuit didn't cease even as one of them reached relative safety, and the sounds of the leftover's uneven footfalls never even slowed until it was almost on top of the door. It skidded to an abrupt stop just in time to keep it from slamming into the wall of the building, its wings abruptly thrusting forward as lightning played over its feathers and then arced from wingtip to wingtip - and over and through anyone caught between them.

"I got him!" Sean called, pulling Schuldig onto his back and moving away from the door. Chris was bleeding more. They needed to get somewhere safe, and fast. He didn't think he could feel Schuldig's heart beating against his back.

Sean took three quick steps away from the door and turned, seeing the floor below him light up.

"CHRIS LOOK OUT!"

Chris had just enough time at the shout to turn and see the light headed for him. He froze, memories that couldn't be real holding him in place for the lighting to slam him back through the doorway and into the opposite wall.

For a brief moment, he lost time and his sense of self, but soon the pain of burns and aching as muscles twitched on their own brought him back.

The jolt had thrown its target back through the door, farther out of reach, and the leftover screamed its rage as it struggled to follow. It might have made it through the doorway, if barely, had it not been for the wings that caught on the edges. Still it struggled, forepaws scrabbling against the floor as its neck stretched as far as it could reach, teeth snapping at nothing.

"CHRIS!" Sean looked back at Chris as he was thrown against the wall, then to the creature that was snapping at them. It was only a matter of time before it managed to get through the door. They had to barricade themselves somewhere safe and hold out for the night.

He dragged Schuldig further away from the snapping teeth, looked to his right, and decided this room was better than nothing. Reaching out a hand, he prayed the door wasn't locked.

The handle gave way when he turned it. Thank God.

"This way!" he called, seeing Chris start to move after being thrown.

( Running to here!)
