Act 4

**Edited by: Stef**

Everything was spinning as I finally came back to my senses. I looked down an exposed wound and aspen using magic to seal it up. I was frightened but had do energy not will to talk. Aspen sensed my quavering as she placed my head onto her soft lap as she pat me on my head. Her touch was soothing, yet so uncertain. There was so much I wanted to know but didn't know how to ask. I sat up, as i looked towards her direction, she was exhausted, and stressed. She fell onto the bed, weak. I lied next to her as I admired her beautiful, exquisite face. I swept the side of her silver hair as she remained still, eyes closed. " stay with me, for today please." She said as she dragged me under the sheets of the bed. The room had awkward silence, as she clinged on close to me.

As I sat up from the bed, the sun had escaped into my room. Aspen laid next to me, drooling onto the bed. I shake her awake as i look for a new set of cloths for the two of us. I pulled out a simple white shirt and jeans for myself and an oversized hoodie and short pants for aspen. As she walked towards and door and opened it, a gunshot was fired. I immediately dashed forward to deflect the bullet away either my knife. Hot steam was produced from my knife as my eyebrows creased. "Fast as always." The woman said as she stuck out her snake like tongue. She fired the gun multiple times, as she laughed like a maniac. I shut the door as I gripped on to aspen, deep in thought. Suddenly, I heard the bullet noises stop as she reloaded ammo. I opened the door as I gripped onto the gun, and kneed the woman in the shin. She fell to her knees as I kicked her. I grabbed her gun as I shot her in the forehead. Blood leaked onto the carpet as her corpse fell onto the floor. We sprinted to the lift as other people spotting weapons chased us. I spammed the life button many times, as I turned around. There were getting closer. Beads of perspiration trickled down my forehead as I forced the lift door open. Gunfire's were thrown toward us as aspen used magic to make a border. All that was there was a role leading to the lift. "Tsk" I made the noise as I grabbed onto aspen's hand, and gripped onto the rope sliding down, as we landed on the lift, followed by a loud "Bang!" sound...
