[Marshall's POV:]

We all decided to explore again. The room we all met in was set up as a base like area, so we all had a place to meet up.  Me and Jaimie were together, exploring. Everyone else was exploring just in different areas. "That Quirk fellow was quite something." Jaimie nodded. "Yeah. He was a little edgy, in a way...but you could tell he had no idea where he was." Jaimie added.  "Hey, I guess you could say we had the same reaction." I said, making Jaimie smile, and laugh a bit. I was happy that I could at least make her laugh. "Yeah, I guess your right.." Her smile then faded. I looked at her. "Something wrong?" I could obviously tell something was on her mind. "No, nothing much. Just planning on getting out of here, y'know?" She sighed. Still I know she was hiding something. Maybe she just didn't want to talk about it right now. Suddenly, I heard a small gasp come from Jaimie. I looked over at her. Her eyes widened, looking forward and frozen in fear. "M-Marshy.." I looked forward as well. There was a shadow, and it looked too familiar. The figure appeared from the dark. "Hello again." Britt grinned grimly. There was blood on her...Bryce's blood. "I believe you two are the only ones who haven't ran into me in combat yet, am I correct?" She tilted her head. I held up the double pistols, and aimed at the demon. I started firing. I missed every time. "Oh, you got to be quicker than that." She teased.

[Mary's POV:] 

I heard very faint gun shots. Who the hell had a gun with them? Hopefully not Britt.. Oh god, please let my friends be alive. They are risking it all to save me from that hell spawn. Britt said three more days until she kills me. I started to cry. Tears ran down my cheeks and washed off some of the blood on them. I felt so weak and useless. I'm just sitting here pretty waiting for my death, and listening to the screams of my friends who are determined to save me. And Marshy... oh god, Marshall.. and Jaimie and all the others are hurting, and getting injured because of me. If I never opened that door.. my friends wouldn't be in this mess. I lay my head back on the wall. The tears were now beginning to dry, and stuck onto my face. I was in such bad condition. There was blood on me. All over. My face, my arms and legs, and I don't know how much longer I can just wait this all out. Guilt was towering over me as if it were a shadow. But I had to find some way to stay positive.. the faith in my friends. They are all I can turn to at this point. I closed my eyes, and tried to block out all the distant noises. 

[Ruben's POV:] 

"The Hell was that?" We all got attention to the gunshots that were distant, yet close. Me, Gene, Jake and Morgan were in the base room. "Marshall. Remember he got the guns?" Gene reminded us. "Okay, then what the hell is he using them on?" Jake added. We all looked at one another for a moment, exchanging looks. After a moment of hesitation we all ran out the door, and followed the sounds of the gunshots. Gene was ahead of me. I felt like she was the most worried, since it was likely for Jaimie to be with Marshall. As the gunshots got slowly closer, we slowed down, sneaking. I heard Marshall. We peered around, seeing where this was all taking place. Hopefully they are all okay. 

[Jaimie's POV:] 

"JAIMIE!" Marshy screamed my name as I looked at him, then back forward at Britt. I saw her reach out her hand. Britt motioned her hand to the side, and I felt my body be impacted onto the wall in the hallway. "HEY!" I saw Marshy charge at her, he was furious. It took me a moment to realize there was blood running down my forehead and lip. I couldn't move. I felt frozen for a moment.  Marshy successfully side-kicked Britt. She got back up and the two fought it out. "M-Marshy....look out..!" I tried to warn him. He caught attention, but then I saw him be punched in the eye several times. He dropped unconscious. "NOO!" I screamed, using all my strength to get up and go over to him. I crawled, over to where he collapsed. I put my ear on his chest. Oh thank god, he was still breathing. I looked at his right eye, which was now bloody and bruised. I realized there were tears in my eyes. Why am I crying? Is it me caring for Marshy? I wiped the tears from my eyes. "Marshy.." I hugged him tightly. "Jaimie?" I heard Ruben. I turned, and saw Ruben, Gene, Jake, and Morgan. "What happened?" Gene added. "Britt slammed me into the wall, and then punched Marshy several times..." I explained to them. They didn't look surprised. We all saw this coming, and how Britt was willing to go to extreme levels to make this more interesting. Typical. "Oh god.." Jake said, walking over to me and Marshy. Jake kneeled, looking at me and Marshy. Marshy's wounds were pretty bad, especially around his right eye. Jake looked at the two of us. "We need to treat your wounds. Let's go." Ruben then picked up Marshall, and threw him over his shoulder. Jake helped me up, and we all walked back to the meetup room. Mason, Cai, Tyler, Finny, Kiera, and Kate were there. They all looked surprised as we walked in. "Britt again?" Kate guessed. It was sorta obvious. Gene nodded. "Yep. Me, Ruben, Jake and Morgan weren't there when it happened but we heard the gunshots. I guess Marshall tried using the guns he got." Gene explained to the rest. "Then I guess this means our day off is over." Kiera added. She sighed. Ruben sat unconscious Marshy on the couch. Kate took my hand and grabbed the small med case we had received. Britt gave us this whole bag of supplies that we would need. Which was nice, but weird. Kate opened up the kit and took out a portion of bandages and tossed it to Jake. "Thanks." He said, catching them, and started to tend to Marshy's eye and other wounds. Kate treated my cuts. She paused. "Hold on." She said. "Your wrist looks bruised..I'll bandage it just in case." She smiled, attempting to comfort me. I smiled back. "Damn, you guys really took a hit." Morgan sneered. "Yeah. I guess we all got some sort of injury now."
