Snippet #2096508

Funny, she hadn't realized he had a flashlight, but then, she hadn't been paying much attention to him, just the sounds she could hear above them. She approached the door to the hallway she wanted, grabbing the doorknob, but afraid to open it. "Ready?" she whispered, glancing back at Adrian, who was right behind her, gun ready. She swallowed, fighteing her fear, before she opened the door slowly- maybe they won't notice?- and stuck her head out, just enough to look out down the hallway. For or five armed men were opening doors, looking for something- someone, maybe. Solia jerked back with a gasp, frightened, wide eyes meeting his. Sudden voices from the hall reached her ears, loud enough for anyone to hear. "Hey, was that door open before?" "I dunno, go check." A single set of footsteps approached them, making the hair on the back of Solia's neck rise. We're going to die, they're gonna kill us, I'm not ready to die! She didn't notice her fingernails lengthening and sharpening until they resembled claws more than human nails, her body ready to fight even if her mind wasn't.
