Area 54 #JustWriteIt #OnceUponNow

Chapter 14

I speed off, not looking back. I refused to feel bad about the life I had taken.

I found a set of doors that were unlike any other in the building. I went up and pushed them open. Instantly I felt a powerful current go through my body and I jumped back. But not before I could see what was beyond the door.

I had seen the sun. I hadn't seen the sun in years.

I started running back to find David and Ginny. I felt myself going slower than before, but it wasn't because the potion was wearing off. It was because my entire body was in pain. The shock of the door seemed to still be going through me, looking for a way out. I pushed through it knowing I needed to get to my friends.

I heard loud noises coming from in front of me and I sped up worried about my friends. I rounded a corner and stopped out of breath.

I took in the scene before me. David and Ginny were struggling both already bound by rope but were still trying to get free. Around them were 7 Takers looking smug. I used my super speed and quickly took all of their guns before they had a chance to notice me.

I stopped and screamed when I saw fire appear out of no where reaching for my face. I dropped the guns and ran out of the way. When the fire died back, I noticed flames seemed to have engulfed one of the takers, but it wasn't burning him. It looked like it was protecting him.

I glanced at David and Ginny looking for help. I didn't know how to defeat a mean who could burn the whole place down if he wasn't careful.

"Don't try and fight Ally, just run! Get out of here!" That wasn't the answer I had been looking for. I wasn't about to leave my friends. I ignored the slight feelings of pain still going through my body and focused on how to stop this man. I glanced at the guns that had been knocked out of my hands. I wasn't going to be able to get through his defense with my fist. A gun however would. 

The man in fire walked closer to me and I couldn't help but smile at how easy this really was going to be.

I ran as fast as I could for a gun. My smile quickly faded as I felt my speed slowing down. I was running on empty. The potion had been wearing off and I just assumed it was the pain. I cursed myself and forced my legs to keep going. I needed to reach one of the guns.

I saw the man in fire pull his hand back and a ball of flames start to grow in his hands. I dived for a gun in a last ditch effort.
