My blood is on the ground. I don't dare look behind me. All the details are blurry. I can't stand looking at Connor’s face, wishing I could better make out his features. I really am worthless without my glasses. The side of my face stings uncontrollably. He'll probably wipe the blood off my face again soon.
I reach over and grab his hoodie string once again. It's a simple comfort of mine, having something for my hands to do. I aimlessly wrap it around my fingers. My ears are ringing, I really don't know when it started again. I don't bother to look around the new room. Something didn't seem right about it. I don't think we'll be here much longer. Maybe the creatures got tired of us. No- that's a stupid thought. All I ever have are stupid thoughts. I close my eyes, willing the pain to ebb away. It doesn't. At least, it doesn't go quickly. Luckily, there's no dead people in this room… yet. I'm ready for this all to end, and I don't care how it does. As long as Connor gets out.

The door opens. Connor stands quickly, but I don't bother getting up. I probably couldn't even if I wanted to. I hear a second door open. They hardly give me a chance to comprehend what's going on. A loud thunk and he's on the ground next to me, unconscious. I hear a similar noise, but before I can do anything, everything goes black.
