Night 2: Night raid

The afternoon was surprisingly uneventful, although we had tried our hardest to stay away from getting into trouble with the Tributes like the first two times. As we approached a hotel that stood out from amongst the nearby shops and as we stopped at the doors, I watched in surprise as they slid open, figuring that since the beginning that no electricity was running thoughout the area.

We slowly walked though the lobby as we looked around and as I looked bhind the desk, I asked almost hesitantly, "Anyone here?"

"Thsi place is abandonned... just like everything else..." Muttered Opalrekt as he opened a door that lead into a room full of  what seemed like food for the hotel's morning breakfast.

Then, we heard a thud! from somewhere down the hall and we both looked at each other as we brought up our weapons and we slowly crept to the edge of the hallway and as I stopped at the edge, I kept my rifle's stock close to my chest. I looked back on Opalrekt, made sure he was okay, and I nodded as I whipped around the corner while he looked the other way.

At first, I didn't see anything too abnormal about the hallway lined with doors. I almost thought it was a level above us and my eyes glanced up as I tried to listen in on anything else. But then I saw a flurry of a limb, like someone was struggling with something and I grabbed the collar of Opalrekt's T-shirt as I dragged him along while somehow keeping the rifle up in my one hand as we slowly advanced down the hall. When we came a few feet from where I had seen the body limbs, I stopped as I tapped Opalrekt and pointed in my direction and I watched as his gun barrel appeared in peripherals

I let out a breath as quietly as I could before I stepped forward and shoved my barrel where the person was suppose to be.

And found a Brony girl cowering in the corner, holding a Fluttershy stuffed pony in her arm's as she cowered before us against a locked door.

We brought the girl from where she had been as Opalrekt did us a favor and raided everything foor and drink related and as we sat in the hotel's main eating area, the  girl was quiet and didn't seem to want to talk to us much. I was sitting in a chair backwards, resting my rifle on the chairs back as I kept it aimed at the hotel's main entrance while Opalrekt tried to coax the girl into talking or at least saying something.

"Hey, are you alright?" Asked Opalrekt as he tried to put a hand on the girl's shoulder.

As I looked over to see her stay in her quiet, shocked state, she looked at least in her teen's, maybe around my age of 18. She had blonde hair and her face was delicate and had a decent tan. She wore a Brony T-shirt and wore what looked like some slightly torn jeans.

I finally got tired of her in that shocked state as I said to Opalrekt, "Let me try."

Opalrekt looked over at me before he said, "Go easy on her. I think you may have scared her when you came around with your gun up." and he took my spot as I took his.

I looked into the girls eyes, although I had to lean my head as her head was tipped down towards the table top. Her eyes were the color of walnuts and she glanced over at me as she hugged the little stuffed pony a little tighter and I said to her, "Calm down. We're not here to hurt you. Okay?"

She stared at me for a little bit before she managed to say quietly, "What do you want from me?"

I sighed in sudden relief as I backed off slightly and I put my hand's together as I asked her, "What happend that made you come here?"

She slowly sat up as she looked at us both, two boys with body armor and guns, and as she kept the stuffed animal close to her as she said, "Well... when I heard the shooting start... I ran with everyone else... But the street was fenced off and I panicked and fled to here... What are you guys doing?"
