I told Stacy. We went to bed that night ready to start packing the next day. But we didn't get the choice to spend another night. The SCP guards had found our location through new technology they had created. It found the old ladies cabin, and us in it. I was still asleep, so was Stacy. Then they attacked. Without any warning or fair chance of a fight the cabin was over run. I woke up to the sound of a bomb going off. I immediately jumped out of bed and ran to Stacy. "What's happening?!" She asked startled. "Stay down, I don't know what's going on." We got on our stomachs, I covered her head with my arm. A storm of bullets pierced through the bedroom law. Stacy screamed as the hot lead landed on our skin. I covered her with my body, a bullet skimmed my back. It tore some of my shirt and burned a line into my skin. I bit my tongue. "Crawl to the door!" Stacy quickly crawled over to the door, it was still standing. I laid back down on the ground. Closing my eyes, I tried to listen to what was around me. But All I could hear was the sounds of war. "Where is the old lady?" I cussed under my breath, she would've been in the living room or kitchen at this time. They probably shot at her first. A million thoughts ran to my mind, not one of them had a good outcome. "I don't know, we need to find her." The bullets finally stopped, there was barely a wall left standing. I heard a man shout, then everything was quiet. My heartbeat rang in my ears. The sound of heavy footsteps entered the house. Whoever it was slowly walked around the kitchen and living room. They started to get closer to our bedroom door. I looked over at Stacy. She looked at me with wide, terrified eyes. There were two ways out of this, either fight back and risk our lives. Or surrender and all our hard work and traveling would be for nothing. I clenched my jaw, I knew damn well I'd rather die than go back to that hell of a prison. I stood up and dashed towards the door. Whoever was behind it didn't have time to prepare before I kicked it off it's hinges. The door flew forward hitting the person back. I looked over at Stacy. "Stay close to me." She nodded and stood up. I rushed us out of the room and towards the kitchen. I looked around, the old lady was nowhere to be found. The bullets were now being fired again. This time I hid Stacy behind some cabinets, and tore off all cabinet doors I could use. I stood up and flung the cabinet doors at the guns men. They cut through the air fast and spun incredibly quick, when it made contact with somebody, they went flying back. A few I even managed to hit in the head, knocking them off their feet and seeing them not be able to get back up. But eventually I ran out of doors, and the amount I had hit had been doubled by reinforcements. Bullets continued to fly by my head. "We have to run!" I told Stacy, she looked up at me with swollen eyes and red cheeks. "But what about the old lady! We can't leave her!" I grabbed Stacy's arm. "I know, but we won't be able to help her if we're dead. We have to run, but I promise we'll come back and try to find her." Before Stacy could answer a bullet shot through my arm. I yelped in pain and clutched the spot. I cursed under my breath, healing wounds was still something I wasn't good at. "We need to go now!" I looked over at the back wall. It was barely standing from the amount of bullets that had shot through it. I stood up and rushed at the wall, using my good shoulder to bash a hole through it. I stumbled onto the grass, quickly regained my composure and turning around. "Come on Stacy!" She ran through the hole. I grabbed her hand and we both ran for the forest. I could feel the guns being aimed at use. But somehow we didn't get shot. We escaped into the forest, but the soldiers were hot on our trail. "Where are we going?" Stacy panted. "It's a small house the old lady helped me train at. I didn't think you'd ever see it."

After what felt like hours of sprinting through the woods we finally made it to the little house. In the yard there lay a few dead bodies, all of them were soldiers luckily. I sighed a breath of relief through my panting. My legs felt like jelly and my lungs felt like they were being dipped in lava. I pushed through and approached the house. I tried the front door, it had been kicked through. "Hello!?" I quickly shushed Stacy. "Girls?!" It was the old lady. "Where are you?!" I yelled. "In the living room!" I ran over immediately. Laying on the ground was the old lady, on top of her was a soldier who was wearing iron plated armor. I chuckled. "Are we intruding on something here?" She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Get your ass over here and help!" I nodded and walked over to her. With ease I lifted the lifeless body off her and threw it to the side. "What happened exactly?" I asked as I helped her stand up. "They surrounded the cabin, I didn't have enough time to come get you both. I had to run out the front door. A few followed me but the rest stayed to get you both. It's good to see you're both alive, I was worried." Stacy ran over and hugged the old lady, with a pained chuckle the old lady hugged back. "We need to leave, that cabin isn't safe anymore, and soon this house won't be either." The old lady nodded. "They emergency supplies packed under the floor boards over there." She pointed towards a patch of floor boards that were a slight shade brighter than the rest. I walked over and punched through them. Two bags were hidden away, I pulled both out and brought them over to the old lady and Stacy. "Your shoulder, let me patch it up." I shook my head. "Later, I'm perfectly fine now. We can clean it when we're somewhere safe." Before the old lady could protest gun shots rang out. I covered both of them with my body. I could feel the metal plunge into my back. I screamed from pain. We all ran for the back door. I let them both run ahead of me. Bullets flew past my head, shouting came from behind me. But somehow we managed to escape. We ran as far as we could, until the sounds of bullets and shouting was eventually muffled out. Now we just walked. An old lady, a young adult, and a child walked until they would hopefully find someplace safe enough for them to reside.
