Desperate Fighters

Poison

Dawn slowly crept around the place seeing where things were. She found out that Mitch was right there were hidden passageways. She'd nearly fallen right through the floor in the jail area not realizing what the switch below the cot did.

She'd also taken several fruits from the plant room to eat and found a few granola bars in a few drawers in the living room area. She wasn't sure how long she'd been in here. Just that there were currently four including her. They hadn't put anymore in, and this group was having a time getting rid of each other.

She and Mitch were the two that weren't fighting, but they would defend themselves and she'd gotten into it twice. Both times with JD, and only once she'd seen Craig who she didn't let close enough to touch her. At the moment she looked at her thigh where there was a yellowing bruise. He'd gotten her hard with the metal bar, but she'd got a damn good swing with her crowbar. JD left bleeding.

It wasn't a small place and you could hide in the rooms easily. She found the plant room a good one because you could climb in there easily and she would do that hiding up toward the ceiling. She slept there a few times and hadn't been bothered. She also was thinking that a few days or more had passed. She judged it by the number of times she slept. She tried not to until she had too. She didn't trust that JD wouldn't show and bash her head in.

He was now not very kind with Craig as the two of them were having problems getting rid of her and Mitch who were outsmarting them. She knew that they had gotten into it. In all honesty JD wanted to get rid of everyone and an alliance with him was shaky at best. Which Craig had learned and they weren't staying around each other.

Second she hadn't really seen Lucian in a while, she was pretty sure that he'd been gone for a couple days from the place. When she passed one of the ladders in the bedroom she'd heard something up above there. Not to the loft area, but where there was an obvious hatch like thing in the ceiling. She was wondering if he was up there and locked out because they wanted to watch them or something.

Currently she was sitting on the floor in the plant room. She was starving for something a bit more solid than fruit, vegetables and granola bars. She was in the back, near the gap in the floor, and while it was a high drop she had figured that the tallest crates down below was only a six foot drop too. Instead of fourteen foot drop to the floor.

She had ripped her skirt so that it was mid-thigh. Which let her run if she needed it and move better, plus she used that as a sling to hold the food that she grabbed up near the ceiling and it was black so you couldn't really see it unless you knew where to look. She also found a bunch of cameras and decided to try and find a hiding spot out of them, or the best that she could.

As time passed, she was starting to wonder if perhaps there weren't that many people that they had taken, because they weren't putting more in. So far with the two dead that made six, but they could just be holding them back, they started with four right?

She jumped when she heard something like metal sliding and it was below her. She watched as the small shoot door that was big enough for a medium sized dog to go through. She watched a tray being slid into the room and there was food on it. And not simple foods. Actual food and it took a second but the smell of the cooked food made her mouth water and she wanted it so bad.

There was another whooshing sound as a door somewhere opened and she figured that was another being allowed in. It looked like they had others still waiting. She moved quickly because she wanted the food, and it was clear that they were trying to provoke them into action. Probably wanted to try this before they had Lucian tearing them apart.

She grabbed the edge of the floor and decided to drop. She let the crowbar fist and it made a dull sound on the wood, but she dropped right after it, grabbing it. Then jumping down and running forward. She cocked back to swing as someone came from her left but it was Mitch.
