The Gods Punishment

Chapter 2

Hound, Diana and Luna walked around the halls. Hound was dressed in heavy clothes with a heavy bag on her and the dogs' backs. She had managed to fool her dad she was asleep and steal his keycard. She looked around a corner finding two guards walk down the hall, she whipped to hide, she stood there against the wall for a few moments. And waited, until she heard sliding then a thump. Hound looked around the corner, finding Ghost standing there whistling. "What? Think I'd let you go alone?" He asked amused.

Hound growled, what was the idiot doing? She thought, she grumpily walked past Ghost. "Go home," she told him sternly.

"Nah," Ghost denied walking with Hound, she thought about strangling him but the halls were covered in security cameras. "Two is better than one." Hound groaned and continued walking her dogs by her side.

"There are four of us," Hound said annoyed. "Plus these two would do more than you, I think the only thing you'd manage is being a shield."

Ghost rolled his eyes grinning walking forward. "Do you have a gun?" He asked holding up a small gun.

"Where the hell did you get that thing?" Hound asked. "I thought only military could get weapons of any kind."

"Dad is able to get one, so am I really that useless?" Ghost grinned happily and Hound rolled her eyes again and kept walking. The dogs walked in the front, looking around. Hound and Ghost reached the doors. They looked around, it was finally time, she would step foot out of this bunker and save the world.

"Once we're out we'll have to immediately hide from the beast, it can see heat so we have to hide in snow if it sees us," Hound instructed her voice tough. Ghost nodded, he pet the dogs and they opened the doors being met with a torrent of snow. They escaped into the snow closing the doors behind them. "We have to get across the field," she told Ghost. "But we have to pass the creature."

Ghost pulled Hound into a mound of snow, a tunnel of snow, they took off their bags pushing them forward. "Dad dug this years ago, the snow's coldness should hide us." Hound wondered how he knew so much from never being outside before, she supposed he would be an asset for now.

They reached midway through before the beast screamed and thrashed about, finding the hiding place, the dogs each stuck to one of them, Luna and Ghost were cut off from Hound and Diana by the beast's tail. Hound rummaged in her back finding crushed up powder of something. She grinned, she didn't have a lot of time to experiment but she had enough to find some stuff that was important. 

She threw the powder on the beasts tail and uttered a word and in moments the tail was covered in painful boils. The beast cried and thrashed about angrily. "Sorry!" Hound yelled as she escaped the tunnel and started running in the direction Ghost should've been in. The monster had killed a lot of people, but in the end it was still living and just following orders. Diana chased the beast howling to scare it off. It worked for a moment before the beast started chasing them again. As it was catching up Hound took off her jacket and dived into a mound of snow, the beast attacked her jacket unable to see Hound in the cold snow, it screeched before returning to the outside of the bunker. 

Carefully Hound escaped the snow while the beast had it's back turned, Diana ran to grab the jacket now pretty beat up and they kept moving finding the exit of the tunnel where Ghost and Luna were exiting. "How did you escape the beast?" Ghost asked surprised dusting fallen snow off his jacket and Luna's coat.

Hound shrugged taking a deep breath. "Doesn't matter, let's keep moving." She kept going forward.

"Billowing Pass is still quite the trek away," Ghost told Hound. "It'll take days and in that time the monster will know where we're going."
