She stayed silent, looking down at the floor. i sigh and shakingly walk over to the door. i look back at her and open the door. a BLAST of cold air knocked me off of my feet. the walls immediately covered in sharp ice shards. i fell on the ground, stunned from what just happened. alisa jolted and looked up, running to my aid "MILES!" i quickly get up with her help, both of us covering our faces slightly from the heavy freezing wind that came from outside the room. i hear people yelling and running.. but from what. what is all this.? what happened? i push against the wind, limping my way out of the room. two people rushed past me.. it seemed everyone was running in the same direction. running from ice? i notice ice is covering countless parts of the building. "WHATS GOING ON??"i yell, but no one hears me over the noise already present in this stressful situation. where's edson? i thought he would've handled this by now? my glasses get covered in frost cutting off my ability to see what was going on. i groan in an annoyed but panicked tone. i take off my glasses and yell for edson. my co-worker's kept pushing, in more of a hurry to get out. 

"EDSOOOON. EDSON!" it started to become harder to move due to how cold it was. everyone could die from hypothermia if this goes on for any longer. as i walk around, calling out edson's  name i feel the floor get wetter. is the ice melting? i try and clean my glasses off quickly but i trip over something on the ground. my glasses cracked in my hand. damn it! they should still work im sure of it! i put on my glasses and look at what i tripped over. "d-dear god.." a body of my recent co-worker layed on the floor, torn apart and disfigured from ice tearing into her body. her eyes were covered in frost, not being able to see her pupil, arms and legs ripped and torn to shreds. there was blood everywhere. i start shaking in fear as i back up, realizing that edson is not the main priority at this moment. i stumble trying to get up, falling against one of walls, i avoided the blood puddle, my lab coat already covered in it. i pause and my eyes widened. i didnt lock the door.. now knowing whats going on i start quickly limping to the source of all this madness. the more i walk towards the door, the more bodies cover the floors of the now frozen hallways. the cold air got stronger and stronger. i really had to try my hardest and push against the wind as hard as i possibly could. alarms start to blare loudly as some of the devices and security shuts off.  confused i keep heading towards the door starting to feel the frost bite. such a painful feeling, but i have to lock it. is this damien? while slowly inching towards the door, one of the vaults opened and a small child with green hair pushed me out of the way. i was shocked and tried to go after him but he got away so quickly. who was that kid? he looked damaged, beat up, but i cant be focusing on those things right now. i ignore the kid for now and continue walking but slip again on another puddle of blood. my whole body was numb at this point, like when you leave your hand in snow for too long without a glove. when i hit the floor i felt nothing but the pain in my head. i could hear people SCREAMING as some of the emergency door's went into lockdown. they were pounding and yelling through the door to let them out. jeez this is my fault. i get up, holding my head. i could barely move my face anymore and started to worry that i wont make it to the door in time. but i push and push towards the door with all the might i have. please please let me make it. i was getting extremely close to it but the wind was getting stronger the closer i got. i resorted to holding onto doorknobs and frozen shards to pull my way to the door. i finally make it to the door and see edson. there was relief but also fear. "EDSON!" he looked up and yelled for my help. he was trying to close the door. i rushed over as quickly as i could to help him. there were a good number of people pushing at the door to close it. i join in pushing as hard as i could. damn it damien..
