I have no idea how they got these pictures of us. I don't even know who they are.

What I do know is I have to get out of this room or there will be red X's on my pictures.

I exhaled and opened the door. Immediately an alarm went off.

"Shoot." I whispered, my blood dripped in a trail as I ran frantically through the hallways, not even knowing what I'm looking for.

The siren continued to go off. I ran down the hallway ignoring the trail of blood. I reached a long flight of stairs and held onto the railing, preparing to go down.

"There she is!" I see a dark figure point up at me and motioned to another. In panic, I turned around fast and felt something hard hit my head, which was already throbbing. I braced myself, quickly thinking of an escape plan if what I had just ran into was another hooded figure.

Before I could look up I was lifted off my feet.

"Let me go! Put me down!" I looked up finally. "Do I know you?"

"Shut it. They're coming." He said in a harsh whisper. He was wearing a complete outfit made of a hard black material that was shaped in a pattern across his chest and there was some sort of logo printed in yellow across. A long, black cape attached at his broad shoulders and flowed down, a black mask on his face with mouth, nose and eye holes.

He brought me over to a window, finally I could see outside after being kept in here for what seemed forever.

He shifted all my weight to his right arm and opened the window with his left. I was too confused to think about how strong he must be.

"No way." I said looking over his shoulder, we're three or four stories up.

"Do you trust me?" He looked into my eyes with his golden-brown ones.

I looked behind, the people in black were close.

"Okay." I said and squeezed my eyes shut when he jumped.
