"That is a lot of wolves." Aurora watched more and more people begin to pile into the open room that had bodies hanging from it's ceiling. "Keep your eyes open!" Aurora peered down over the window seal, her stomach feeling better as time passed. "How many do you see?" Ellie questioned keeping her eyes on the room. "I don't know, at least seven. What do you think we do?" Aurora's eyes were filled with worry jumping back and forth between the wolves and Ellie's face waiting. "We're gonna have to be quiet about this. Be careful." Footsteps came up a stairwell beside them Ellie swiftly turned around to Aurora pulling her into a room. Her hand went over her mouth keeping her quiet as one of the wolves came up holding his gun high.

The man wandered in checking in the opposite direction of the pair giving time for Aurora to escape Ellie's arms and wrap her arms around the man's neck and mouth squeezing hard. Ellie came around shoving her pocket knife into his temple killing him. "Careful." Ellie reminded scooting his body from the doorway. "Sorry." "It's okay." Ellie looked down at her face nodding her head then looking up through the doorway. "We're going to have to be quiet. Stay close." Ellie left the room getting low to the ground with Aurora right behind her. They snuck down the stairs watching as the wolves entered side rooms, their sight away from Ellie and Aurora.

Aurora moved in front of Ellie and ran down the stairs ducking behind a desk with Ellie coming up behind her. "Wolf." Aurora muttered looking at the room right by them when a woman walked out spotting Aurora and Ellie. Ellie didn't hesitate running up and grabbing her gun stabbing her in the neck, her gun falling on the ground a loud noise erupting from the floor. "What was that?" Another wolf yelled from the other side of the room. Ellie turned around ducking once again hiding beside Aurora, she panicked looking to Ellie then at the body. "Leanne's dead!" A man's voice shouted Aurora's eyes widening. "They're going to come over here." She whispered looking at Ellie who was deep in thought staring at the ground ahead of her eyes moving back and forth.

"Wait for him to get to us." Ellie whispered holding her gun close to her chest very slightly peaking around the side of the desk. Aurora pulled her gun out keeping it down to her side waiting for Ellie's signal. The man finally came up to the side of the desk looking down to the woman, Leanne's, body. He turned his head and lifted his gun at Ellie when a gunshot rang out his face becoming a bleeding mess. He collapsed more footsteps running out of different rooms around the pair. "Aurora." Aurora turned her head looking at Ellie, her breathing getting quicker. "Yeah?" "We're going to get out of this okay? Breathe." "Leanne and Michael are dead!" "Where are those fuckers?" Ellie gave one final nod to Aurora and sat up pointing her gun at another wolf shooting him straight through the head.

Aurora sat up right after shooting hitting one of the wolves in the shoulder a yell erupting from his mouth. He ran off, Aurora putting her head back down bullets flying past the desk hitting the wall in front of them. "Quiet isn't an option anymore is it?" Aurora laughed, staring forward, keeping her head down her hands squeezed around her gun. "Guess not." Ellie replied, blowing a piece of hair from her face. Aurora sat back up shooting again killing the man that she'd shot in the shoulder. Her shoulder began stinging remembering the wound that was bandaged, she could still feel it bleeding in the bandage. She hissed but shook it off the pain not near as bad as earlier. "That's what four down? Three more." Ellie asked, looking at Aurora who nodded, taking in a deep breath. "Let's hope."

A man ran up on Aurora's side of the desk pointing his gun directly at her. She didn't even have time to react when he was shot straight in the head, blood splattering onto her face and neck, her eyes closing, feeling the red liquid seep onto her skin. She turned, seeing Ellie holding up her gun, her face hard, eyebrows furrowed. She lowered her gun looking at Aurora, her face softening when she saw the shock in her face. "Aurora?" Aurora shook her head taking in another deep breath. "I'm fine. I'm fine." The gunshots went quiet and Ellie peaked around seeing the last two wolves walking right towards them on either side of the desk.
