Terek carefully trekked through the blood-filled hallways, Grá following his footsteps, swinging his blaster rifle side to side making sure no one could sneak up on them. Following his gut, he made his way to the other side of the ship, his boots sticking to the blood-soaked floor. Suddenly a sound washed over them the quiet sobs of someone who was screaming for hours, concerned Terek called out ahead of him 262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWwVxgyd82
“Hello? Anyone there?” Grá glared at him, but stopped when the voice responds,262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz6jHDBIN7
“Hello? Please help me. Please. Hello? Hello?” already knowing Grá wouldn’t like it, he answers262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DcGakRySr
“Hold on a minute, we’r- I’m coming” Terek rushes over hand on his own blaster, as much as he wants to help this person, he wouldn’t risk his life on it, he followed the voice, who was now babbling on praising all and any god for his life, he peeked around the corner and almost puked, the voice was attached to a barely living person, their chest crushed by a piece of the ceiling, It was a miracle they were alive, never mind able to speak, blood saturated the mattress and was pooled on the floor, dried over by now, they must’ve been trapped like this for a couple of hours at least, maybe longer. Grá looked at Terek to see if it was clear, Terek gave him an uneasy nod and Grá followed Terek’s lead and peaked around the corner, seeing the wreckage he immediately rounded the corner and started applying first aid, Terek followed behind him and watched as Grá rushed around the poor person, Terek focused back into their babbling. 262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1RUeohu9J
“I thought I heard two people, but I thought I was just imagining stuff, ‘silly vine’ I thought, but no, you’re here. Are you DGG or Resistance, maybe you're from the old government, doesn’t matter, I’m alive hahahhahahah.” Terek tuned their rambling out and focussed on helping Grá patch them up. 262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFNQxylhcE
“Guard the door, I’ve got this” nodding, Terek rose from his knees and made his way towards the door. He stared into the hallway attempting to ignore the gruesome sounds of Grá working on Vine, he wondered what would he do in the same situation, would he give? Let death walk him over the rainbow bridge? Or would he stick it out, try to escape the situation? Terek was unsure. He was snapped back to reality by a clanging, he glanced behind him, checking to see if it was from Grá. It wasn’t.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc6HeRqPt6
“Grá, pass me the rifle, I think we have company.” Grá’s head whips up, eyes wide.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2O38PZdZ3
“Are you sure?”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mlf3HDuWX
“Not really, but I heard a strange noise.”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEsoIrnp8d
“Alright, be careful, try to hold them off for 5 minutes, I’m almost done here,” Grá advised, passing Terek the rifle.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9icqDrqWp
“Ohh action” Vine giggled. Terek and Grá shared a look. Terek went back out into the hallway and started stacking tables and debris, attempting to build some sort of barrier, as the clanging got closer, and closer, and closer. After several seconds of agonizing suspense Terek finally caught sight of the thing making the clanging noise was a mouse dragging a piece of debris, Terek let out a relieved sigh, It was nothing to worry about, he picked up a rock and threw it at the mouse, shooing it away. He poked his head into Grá and relayed the information, and turned back to his post, watching the hallway, listening for any out-of-place sound. Several uneventful minutes later, Grá walked out the door, Vine resting on his shoulders.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aLI6UxS6w
“Come on, let's go. I called Katie and Lilly, they’re going to pick us up and treat Vine”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugX31MZdvg
“Wait. Vine doesn’t have a space suit.”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVYxwGgphk
“That’s true!” Vine muttered262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3HKpEGvS6
“Shit, yeah. What are you thinking?”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB9qrLA5hm
“They can take mine, I’ll wait around here, I have a couple spare on my ship. You can pick one up and fly both ships over” Concern washed over Grá’s face262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn8oB2ffVm
“Are you sure? It could be dangerous here.”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1B9lRgrSi
“It’ll be fine, I have my comms. Anyway, if I die, you have my replacement on your shoulder” Terek joked.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS8I06AXva
“YAYYYYY! I’m a replacement.” Vine whooped, smiling from cheek to cheek.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKSBX465ld
“Alright, if you say so,” Grá said, they unceremoniously dumped Vine in Terek’s suit. Terek walked them as close to the exit as was safe. 262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FRqxxS52r
“See you soon, Grá.”262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCu62PCVQs
“Stay safe Terek.” Terek turned back towards the prison block, realizing all too late that, mice couldn’t sneak onto ships, and that they could often be used to scout out dangerous areas. He didn’t realize all that in time to feel the blow of a baton to the back of the head.262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJKBNzi8UU
