I fall to the ground. The door's keeping those little devil's back. I look at them. They look a lot scarier up close. I look at my foot. It doesn't look as bad as I thought at first. It's bleeding but it's small scratches.

"Are you okay?" He looks at me.

"Yeah." I breathe. 

"What is this place?" He asks.

"Some kind of lab thing with those creatures." I say.

He kneels over my foot.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt." I say.

He looks around as if ignoring me. 

"Hello? Hello?" I say.

"Just give me a minute. Your wound would get infected." He says.

"How do you know?" I look up at him.

He stops abruptly. 

"I... I don't know. A feeling I guess?" He shrugs.

"Well... alright, do what you need to do." I say.

He nods and starts rummaging around.

"Psst." A voice says.

We both turn. There was a little girl almost huddled behind some crates. I wince as I stand up. She was young and wearing the same stuff we were. I take it she probably has no idea what's going on as we do. I also would guess she has no idea who she is like us.

"It's okay. We won't hurt you." I say.

"Are they... gone?" She points to the doors.

"Yeah." I nod.

She comes out. She was covered in blood, but I don't think it's her blood.

"I saw them die. I saw the things burst out of their bellies." She says.

"You mean the Xemphors?" I ask.

"Yes." She says.

"I don't think you said it correctly." He looks at me.

"Whatever." I shrug.

"It was a nightmare." She says.

"How many of us are left?" I ask.

"I... I don't know." She says.

I hear something above us. It sounded like banging. Must be a Xemphors or whatever they're called. She looks so scared. I reach out and I move the hair out of her face. Her eyes were sort of catlike. 

"At the rate these things are moving, probably not many of us." I say.
