Current time: 01:07 AM

-Y/N's POV-

Y/N: (Alright, you got this, just pack up some food, get to your room, lock yourself in, and I will be able to get out of the facility.)

I walk down the corridor heading toward the cafeteria, the darkness still omnipresent except from where I'm pointing my flashlight... until it eventually dies.

Y/N: (What?! No come on!! I thought this thing had full batteries!!)

I try to turn on and off the flashlight repeatedly expecting any reaction... but nothing happened.

Y/N: (Damn it! This isn't my lucky day...)

Suddenly, the lights from the corridor turns on, making me jump in surprise.

Y/N: wuh- (how did the lights turned on?)

...

???: Finally got this thing working again.

???: It was about time, why is it always up to us to turn the lights back on? Can't they do it themselves for once??

???: Eh, I guess someone's gotta do something about it in the end.

I hear 2 muffled voices coming from the metal gate right next to me

Y/N: (Oh, there's still humans here!)

I go toward the button to open the metal gate until I realize..

Y/N: (Wait... what if those are gootraxians too?... But, how would they be able to figure out how to turn the lights on? ... Better not risk anything.)

I back away from the gate and turn toward a door, a sign hangs out above the door and reads "Cafeteria"

Y/N: Finally I'm here!

...

???: You heard that?

???: Heard what?

???: I think it was coming from behind this gate.

Y/N: (oh shi-)

I drop the flashlight and hurry up to open the door, going inside the cafeteria, hoping whoever was behind the gate doesn't follow me.

I finally reach the cafeteria, but before I take another step, other muffled voices can be heard in another room.

???: Come on! Give me that! I saw it first!

???: No way! I got it first!

???: That's unfair!

???: "Keepers keepers"! You should know that!

???: Idiot! The correct expression is "finders keepers"!

???: What did you just call me?!

???: Uh oh..

Suddenly, sounds of fighting can be heard, I quickly get in the kitchen and hide behind the cafeteria counter.

I then hear a door open.

???: Hey stop! Give me that!

???: No!! It's mine!!

???: OW MY TAIL!

???: HAHA- OW MY EARS!!!

???: OH I'LL SHOW YOU!!!

The fighting noises gets even louder.

Y/N: (Thank God I'm not in that fight..)

I slightly peek outside my hiding spot to see the scene.
