Cecilia continued her trek down the halls of the facility. Everything was suprisingly quiet, it seemed as if while she was busy crying and sobbing everyone else had died. "At least I won't have to deal with them." She said to herself, then she heard gruff voices speaking: "What was that?" A man said, "you think it's one of them?"
Cecilia pressed her body flat against the wall as she listened to the conversation echo from a corridor.
"Maybe it's one of us," a female gaurd spoke. "After all there aren't any experiments down here."
"No, there are." The man responded, "what about that mouse, the one that practically can't die." He said.
"Well, we have guns, and we never outright shot it before. If we just unload on it it'll probably die." The woman said.
Cecilia let out a heavy sigh, gathered her courage, and spoke. "I... I don't want to hurt you... I just want to get out of here. Isn't that what we all want here? Can't you just forget it and let me leave?" As soon as they heard her they came over through the corridor and pointed their weapons at Cecilia. However, they hesitated when they saw that she had her own gun, and they didn't recognize her because of her transformation. "Drop it! Drop your weapon right now you freak! Or we'll fire!" The man said. Cecilia couldn't bring herself to look the gaurds in the eyes. She stared at the ground with her eyes wide. "No... no I just want to leave... I don't want to be here anymore please just let me go..." she stuttered. The woman responded next, "well too bad, that's not going to happen. Now put the gun down and get back in your cell!" Cecilia didn't respond... she just froze there... the man yelled "Put it down now!!!" Still nothing... "That's it! Kill her!" The man yelled. Cecilia panicked, she squeezed the trigger with her eyes closed, the weapon fired, scattering bullets everywhere. When it was over Cecilia opened her eyes and found both gaurds dead... she couldn't believe it... she had killed them... Cecilia dropped her gun and just ran, she ran as fast as she could. The elevator within sight.
