Hall of Infinite Doors

"No wait!!!!" you scream, as you jump aside.

Tpppppttt. A bullet strikes the wall above you. Anne is falling someplace.

Tppptttt. Tppptttt. Tcchhht. Another bullet ricochets. You keep moving. You hear Anne doing the same until you are beyond out of sight of the door.

"Quickly, she's coming down the stairs," you say. You hoist Anne's foot onto your knee. *click* The window unlatches.

The footsteps grow louder in the darkness.

Anne hoists herself out the window.

You jump and hoist youself out too.

*cccrchtt* The glass breaks behind you. You and Anne move to the side.

"Some sister you got," you say.

"She's not my sister," replies Anne. "She's adopted. Seriously."

You are now standing barefoot in the rain. Anne is barefoot too.

"Quickly," says Anne, "did anyone else come with you?"

"Yes. Ashley and Jenny."

Anne holds back a tear. "They are in mortal danger."
