Rachel was surprised as Mark turned and hugged her tightly, but she sank to her knees and wrapped her arms around the boy.
She turned her face towards Kai. "Wait, just for a moment." she pleaded softly.

Roy snapped at Kai, "Give him some time for pity's sake! He's just a kid!" His own face grew tense with emotion, and his breathing heavier.

Ariel however, was finding no interest in this. In her demented mind the only thing that mattered was the gun, the wild need she had to hold that weapon in her hand, to have an advantage over everyone else. She didn't care about the rest of them anyway.

I had stolen my employers car the first day of this... this life. I had left him as fast as I could in the office, and I had to smirk as he screamed, the aliens tearing him apart, and I drove away into possible freedom. If anyone was free that day. It was Roy who found me crashed in the ditch, damn him, and got the drugs away from me. I didn’t realize that skinny little thing with glasses had so much strength in him, but he dragged me curses and all to that collapsing laboratory. It's his fault, his fault I'm still alive.

She would shoot him, and then the kid, and then herself. She had never wanted to live in the first place. Roy deserved to die. And the kid- well, he didn't deserve to live in this Hades, that was for sure.

She stepped back, behind Roy, nonchalantly glancing at the pistol tucked in his pants.

"This is my sister we're talking about kid" he sanrled, pain in his eyes as he turned to Roy. Then he froze. "Ah" the anger though not the pain left him. "Sorry, i didn't realise. Roy yes?" he nodded once to himself. "She always loved you, loved you more than either of us can ever know." he turned back to Mark. "Sorry kid, take as much time as you need."

Hannah looked at Kai, she saw some kind of sadness in his eyes. She put her hand on his shoulder. "It's okay." she said with a trembling voice. "It's okay." She looked around her. It seemed that everything was calm...almost too much. "We should go on now", she mumbured, trying to hide that she was still very scared. "We're not save here."

"You're right" he attempted a smile. "Lets go." he took her hand and continued into the tunnle.

Hannah gripped Kais hand and walked beside him, her head down. She fought some tears back, the thing about Kais sister has reminded her that she was alone...or was she? Could it be possible that they where still alive? She couldn't do anything, so she just started to pray silently. She prayed for her family, for her friends, just for everyone. She hadn't done that in a long time...but she had to belive that there had to be anything good out there...even now.

A dull thud rang throughout the entire structure. Zrglst had been tearing his way through the place with physical strength, and was in a blood-driven fury.

"S***" he swore and grabbed Hannah's arm "RUN" he sprinted down the tunnle dragging her behind him.

Hannah stumbled after Kai through the sewers, she knew that she had to move quick, but she couldn't really. The thought that her greatest fear could be right behind her again made her impossible to think. She wanted to stop, she wanted to lay down, she thought of giving herself up. "I don't want this happen again", she whispered. "I want it to be over, I just want it to be over."

"It will you be unless you move baby, i don't like running either but we've got no choice." He said compleately mis-interpreting her words.

Rachel jumped as the floor and walls began to rumble and shake again. "Are you ok, Mark?" she asked. "We need to get moving again."

Hannah heard Jimmy screaming and turned round. She slowly got let go of Kai's hand and went back to Jimmy and the others. "What happened...what..." she stopped in the middle of the sentence and just stared at the dead body. Then she opened her mouth. not realizing what she was doing. She just stood there and screamed like mad. After a time she stumbled back into the wall, pressed herself against it and continued breathing heavily and screaming.

Roy stared in utter shock and horror at the body. A heavy shudder was locked up in his being, desperately needing to get out, but it couldn't. He was unearthly still for a moment, not even breathing or daring to draw a breath even though his mouth hung open. And then he shut his eyes.

"Run," he mouthed, but no sound came out. He could feel the trembling of the structure, as it all came down. They had to get out- to the open air- to the outside world where they might have a chance. This building would come down in a matter of minutes. "RUN!!!!!" he screamed frantically, beginning to tear out of the tunnel like all hades was upon him.

An arm went around Rachel, as he pulled her along with him, and he yelled for Mark to follow them. It was a race against time now.

---

Ariel stood still, even after Roy began his desperate race, an eerie look of satisfaction on her face. A bit slower than should be expected, she began to follow them. But in the chaos of the moment, she had something to thank Belladonna for.

She had gotten the gun.
