All it took was one word to break the stillness of this moment. "Run!!!!" I don't know who said it but it didn't matter, we did what we were told, and we ran. Rushing past broken branches was hard work, harder than any of my cross country trainings. I had to run pretty slow though because Garnet was running behind. We heard a few more gunshots in between taking deep breaths. After a while there was no sound. A few minutes later, still no sound.

"Hey! What's that?" I asked, while looking around I saw a barn that looked ancient.

" I don't know. Think we should check it out?" Garnet asked.

"Absolutely," I exclaimed, " But let's be careful it looks really old."

" Well that's an understatement, let's go." Garnet waved for me to come follow, there was no other choice but to follow her.

"This place creeps me out, I have a bad feeling about it."

"Oh come on are you seriously scared of an old barn?" Garnet teased making a silly face and walking to the building.
