Chapter 1

Trudging through the mud and rain, the group of teens walked through the woods.

"Should we be out this late? Or more importantly out here?" Natalie asked.

"Nah we'll be fine," Marly reassured, "plus we never get to leave the facility anyways so just enjoy the fun."

"I'm not really for 'living life on the edge' so.."

"But this is a once in a life ti-"

"Shhh! guys..." Izon hissed.

A dark figure approached the lost teens in the woods. As Gabe lifts the flashlight up to the figure they all got ready to run. Then finally the light reached its face.

"Gilly?!" Gabe stammered in confusion.

"What the heck are u guys doing out here? this is strictly against rules!" I swear one day you guys are gonna get yourselves killed."Gilly walked in front of them.

"Gilly, please, this is nothing. We're just taking a wa-"

The sounds of twigs snapping and heavy breathing in the distance set silence among them. They all got defensive and Gali pulled out his gun. Gabe put that light at its face to show...

"A girl!" Natalie said in surprise.

This mysterious girl was soaking wet and looked pretty banged up.

"Who are you?" Gabe snapped.

"Hey! He asked you a question." Gali said coming closer to her.

She finally coughed up something to say after the loss of words from Gali holding a gun to her head, and what she knew was coming next.

"I-" she huffed,

"I'm-"

Bang!

A taser shot right by her and hit the tree next to Natalie. Then another shot was fired even closer to this girl. Then rapid shots of both bullets and tasers flew by the kids as they dodged them.

"It's an ambush!" Gali yelled "head to base!"

As they started running Gabe turned back and saw lights flashing their way, and heard distinct yelling among the men coming. But that's not the only thing he saw, as his eyes shifted down he saw the strange girl on the ground, and what it looked like, she was in pain. He ran to her and turned her over to reveal a bullet hole in her stomach.

"Ah, crap!" he said worried "Guys! I need help here!"

His friends stopped at his call of worry, and looked back to see the men getting closer and closer to them.

"Gabe get out if there now!" Shrieked Izon.

"Let's go, Gabe, just leave her!" Gali huffed in frustration.

"I can't, she's bleeding out!"

Just as Gabe got ready to pick her up and run, a bullet flew by and hit the outside of his arm. It wasn't too bad, but he still yelled in pain. Natalie ran to him to see if he was ok, but even in pain he picked up the girl.

"What the heck do you think you're doing?" she yelled, "Go! I can hold them off!" Without doubting her, Gabe caught up with the rest of the team. As soon as the guards got close enough Natalie swung her hands forward and with it, a gust of wind came and knocked the guards down, but there was still more coming. Then she opened her hands apart from each other and as fast as lightning the earth where the guards were split open and swallowed them. After that, they all made a break for it. By the time they got there, this strange girl lost full conscience and was pale, and she looked dead.
