Kill or Be Killed

"I am not sitting and waiting for that thing to kill me. I've been watching in that cell. It's kill or be killed. I saw that thing rip that man apart." She put a hand on the doorway and peaked around to where the one man was nearly shouting. One that she didn't know, but the two seemed to know each other. The new man must have been captured with Mitch. They were the two talking.

"Yeah, you think I want to stay in here? I only have so much medication." Mitch said. Holding up a small case in his hand. She could see a light on the side of it, like it was powered.

"You really going to kill me JD?" Mitch asked darkly after a moment of silence.

"You know what I just might." He answered in a hysterical way. "They are going to slowly bring people in, that's what they told us. I stand a better chance getting out of here with less in the place. You could help me, we could get rid of the women that are in here. Then it would be better for us. Like a team."

"Like hell I'm going to help you murder people." Mitch spoke with anger. JD had brown hair, average build, but looked like he could handle himself. There was a bit of bruising on his head and a couple stitches but they were looking older now. How long had they been held? Drugged?

"Something that I trained for, but not creatures. You're either with or against me." JD said and Mitch just stared at him.

"Don't you come any closer!" JD said suddenly seeing Lucian standing near a crate and watching them. JD lifted some kind of metal rod pointing it. Dawn took note of the weapon he found rather quick. Or had they given it to him? Either way, Dawn was sure that there were items in here now. This was just a very fancy fighting ring, and she was sure they threw weapons in here to make it interesting.

"You have to get close to use that." Lucian said pointing to the bar. The man just kept a cool stare.

"I'm not worried." He said. "We're playing, there's no reason for you to attack us, freak." Lucian didn't react just stared.

"Just watching." He commented and continued to stand there. Dawn watched the other two, and decided that she needed to find a weapon or something to defend herself. Lucian might have been nice once, but that didn't mean he'd be again. Plus JD looked like he was going to make sure he lived through this.

"Stay out of my way Mitch. I'm warning you now." JD moved toward the room that she hadn't been in yet. At a glance, as she leaned back from the bathroom area, she could see that it was a living room.

"Going to play?" Lucian asked watching Mitch. This little display told her that Lucian was very clearly their referee. One that probably had a loose set of rules to follow. She swallowed, she made note to not piss him off. That if he told them to do something, it was best to do it. Again Dawn didn't know if push came to shove how well she would manage it. Could she really truly kill when she had time to think?

"Going to sink your teeth in me if I don't?" Mitch asked backing up a bit from where Lucian was. Lucian just looked at him.

"If I'm told." With that he turned and shifted darting up the stairs. Dawn wasn't sure what Lucian did while he was waiting for orders or boredom. She didn't want to know. So instead she went back to the garage area and rummaged around finding a crowbar. The red light in here caused a lot of shadows. She heard movement and ducked down below the table watching the bathroom entrance.

"Who's in here?" It was JD's voice and she wasn't going to say anything. He probably would do something to her. She hoped that Jackie was smart too. That she just stayed hidden or something.

Dawn could see his legs through the table and items stacked there. As he moved along the table one way, she moved the other way crouched. He was going slow, and when she went around the backside of the table he moved quick to the side she had been on. However he didn't see her and was starting to look around the items in the room.
