MACKENZIE
"Hiya."
Emma walks to the center of the hall. She looks up, and uses zero-point energy on Mart and throws her to the ground. I hear her grunt, and she tries to get up.
"Wow, I'm truly insulted. Did you think I was stupid? I mean, come on, let's just..."
Mary gets up all of a sudden and uses her powers to sends Emma to the ground. She stands there, acting like nothing had even happened.
Slowly, Emma gets up. "Alright, I guess I should've expected that. But sneaking onto my ship? Expecting me not to hear anything? Come on! I deserve more credit than that!" She dusts off her shoulders. "Oh, how could I forget? You've got some visitors."
At that very moment, I feel two stabs go in through my back and out my stomach. They're ripped out just as forcefully as they went in. I try to scream out, but I only take in a big gasp of air and fall to my knees. My vision begins to blur and I can only hear in whispers. The last thing I see before I black out is Emily running in my direction.EMILY
I waste no time in the janitors closet. I morph into one of the ants crawling on the ground and leave the room.
"Hiya," I hear. It's followed by a loud crash, and some laughter. I follow the voice and head around a corner.
My heart begins to pound. "What are they doing here?" Emma talks some more but I can't hear her over the sound of my thudding heart.
I hear gasps, then thuds.
I run.
I'm too slow.
I fall.
Light fades.
