Elijah's POV:
I looked at Kyle as he led the way to the elevator. He peeked out from behind a locker and looked back at us. Shaking his head, he says, "There's a group down the hall. They're looking in this direction. If they see us, they'll shoot." I shook my head. We've been shooting dudes this whole time. Not only were we lost, but we were also fighting for our lives.
People kept shooting at us. We've been tryna save ammo but people leave us with no choice. "Look I'll go distract them. You guys go on to the elevator," I say, as I was about to stand up but Kyle pulled me back down.
"Uh uh. We all leave together," He say. He cocked his gun and stood up. "Hey!!" He yells, making the group of men look at him. "Hey, over there!" One yelled, shooting at Kyle. Kyle took off running, giving me and Mille a chance to run to the elevator and called it. The elevator doors opened but Kyle still wasn't back. We heard gunshots then silence. I looked at Miller.
"Man..." I say, nervously. Just then, Kyle ran towards us. "Kyle?! Run man!! Come on come on COME ON!!" I cried. He ran faster, with that group of dudes still shooting at us. We jumped in the elevator and pressed the button. The elevator doors closed. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew. Kyle man you scared us," I say, softly.
"Sorry. I....I don't know what happened. I saw something though," He say. We looked at him.
"What do you mean you saw something?" Miller ask, with such seriousness. Miller wasn't one to be serious. He was always the jokester in the circle.
Kyle's shook his head and spoke. "I mean that I saw something. It looked like a tail. A long spikey tail. I thought maybe it was my imagination but then I heard those dudes coming for me. So I ran away. But trust me, that tail was long," He explains.
I looked at Miller. "Kyle, I think you need to eat something. You did throw up a lot after seeing that man get shot in the head," I say. He shook his head. Then the elevator doors opened. We walked out and saw we were in what looked like a daycare area. We looked around. "Wow. They have kids on this station? Why the hell would the Company allow kids on here?" Miller say.
We walked around til we saw more people with guns. We quickly hid but one of the men already saw us. "Hey! Over there!" He yells, drawing attention from either men. "Aw shit. Here we go again," I say, irritably. They shot at us. I looked at the guys. "What do we do?" I ask. Just then, we heard a loud thud. Then snarling. The men all screamed and began shooting. Then everything stopped. It grew quiet very quickly.
I looked at the guys. They both were frozen. "What the hell was that?" Kyle mouthed. We peeked up above our hiding place and saw that the group men were all dead on the ground. I stared at their dead bodies. "Holy shit," Miller said.
"Jesus Christ," I say. We stood up and walked over to the dead bodies. We looked around. Miller began to search them. "Miller what are you doing?" I ask.
"What? I'm searching their bodies. We can use their ammo and shit," He say. He looked up at us. "Well help me out," He say.
I looked at the bodies as I searched them. Each and every one of them had a large gaping hole in the middle of their face. I shook my head. "Jesus Christ. What could've done this?" I ask. Kyle gasped. We looked up at him.
"I'm guessing that thing," He say. We turned around to see a large, tall creature. We quickly hid. It turned around and looked in our direction. I looked at the guys. "What the hell is that creature?!" Miller hissed. I looked back at it. It looked up into the air and looked as if it was sniffing around for us. It had no eyes, just a mouth. It was very tall, maybe around eight feet in height. I watched as it walked right past us.
