Challenge begins; Part two

Making his way slowly up the stairs Clyde made sure he made no sounds as he took note of a blood trail coming up the steps.

Once he got to the top he pulled out a mirror from out his pocket and held his back against the wall while sticking his right arm out slightly for the mirror see what was at the end of the hall.

Again nothing but bodies was what he saw as he pocketed the mirror again while having his pistol trained on the middle of the hall the moment he stepped into view.

While slowly walking down the cement red hall he noticed that the blood trail had went into one of the rooms to the left side of the hall and once he approached the door he quickly pushed the door open and aimed his weapon inside.

Once he stepped his foot inside the room he noticed that the trail stopped behind one of the turned over tables as he kept his distance.

After slowly stepping around the table he saw a woman holding her stomach as she wore the burgundy scrubs signifying her as this guilds nurse.

Brown skin and brown eyes with curly hair that reached her shoulders as Clyde could tell she was fearful at the moment "I assumed they came back looking for survivors." She said while letting out a chuckle.

"What happened here? From what I could assume, two different races attacked this place" He said to her as she gave a slight nod "Ghouls and werewolves did it, it caught us off-guard since the ghouls already looked like regular people, they stormed us while the wolves blocked off the exit, I managed to get away by running upstairs but before I ran away..." She said while moving her hand slightly to show her claw wound.

"I see..." Clyde said as he figured she had to be the only survivor in this guild and probably any of the small guilds that recently formed are probably in battle or dead 'And I don't know wether or not I can get her medical help either.' Clyde also thought to himself as he picked her up as she was confused "What are you doing? Leave me." She begged him as he got her left arm over his shoulder so she could walk.

"I'm not leaving a kid to die in here when I know the chances of your survival could increase with me, we can get you some medical attention and you can help me find any survivors we see along the way, what's your ability?" He asked as she watched him check the hall before heading out.

"It's water...I'm really good at it which is how I was able to keep my blood in my body for so long." She said as he stopped to look at her "You can control blood?" He asked as general curiosity took over him "Not really at least not yet, I learned growing up that water users are the only ones possible at learning an ability like that- kinda like an evolution to our own primary ability" She said as Clyde gave a slight nod as he made his way down the hall again.

"It's been a while since I've been over here, you think you can direct me to an infirmary or somewhere you can get more medical supplies?" Clyde asked as she gave a hum agreeing with him as they started heading down the stairs "Wait, is it possible that you have any here?" He asked as she shook her head no "The supplies I need aren't gonna be here and plus they haven't stocked up on any in months." She said as Clyde walked her around the bodies on the ground as he watched her tear up while looking at some of them.

Once they got outside they could hear fighting going on in the distance as he got her into his jeep on the passenger side and let her strap herself in.

After driving and following her directions Clyde wanted to know where the yelling and fighting was coming from but couldn't since he had a injured passenger.

The closer and closer they got to where she was directing them he could hear the sounds getting louder as he saw that there was fighting on the streets where they arrived.

'Are they trying to take over the hospital?!' Clyde thought as he quickly put the jeep in park "Drive over to the side entrance and wait until I let you in" He told her while hoping out and running into the fray.

Immediately ghouls saw him as they began to charge as he pulled out his second pistol and ran faster towards them as the first one jumped in the air while the other one dived towards him.

"This is the problem with young ghouls..." Clyde began to say as sand began to form under his feet as it followed him like a shadow and once the first ghoul grabbed onto him from the waist "You rely too much on your physical capabilities." Clyde finished saying as the sand jumped up as if it had a will of its own and grabbed onto the ghoul in the air and kept him there as he became a sand ball in the sky.

The second ghoul still wrapped around his waist knocked him to the ground but using the momentum Clyde continued the roll as he was on top and shot him in the head.

Once he stood up he caught the attention of more ghouls as people seen him as well and the sand ball in the sky too "Anyone that knows me personally knows about my dark period after I discovered my abilities..." He began to say while walking towards the mass.

"I really hate ghouls." He said as the sand ball exploded with blood as more of them decided to rush him as the sand came to his side as the third ghoul threw out a jab that got caught in the sand as Clyde ran past him after shooting him in the head.

He ran through the crowd dodging swings and let the sand do it's job protecting him and after minutes of firing and reloading he noticed they had ran away.

"Damnit!" Clyde shouted as then looked up at the light red sand that was floating over his head remembering how this technique was one he wasn't supposed to use anymore and also looking at the people he couldn't save.

He ran towards the hospital stairs and after getting inside he ran for the left side entrance and walked through two double doors as he saw a tv with camera footage of the parking lot as he saw the jeep pulling in closer as he hit the buzzer letting the woman through the gate.

Once he got outside he noticed she was on the ground trying to get away as a man was walking up to her slowly as if savoring his meal before he devouring it as Clyde rushed to her side somehow managing to make a spear of sand while the ghoul chuckled "You think a little bit a sand is going to scare me?" He said while Clyde threw it as it made it half way before separating in the air into nothing as the ghoul started to howl in laughter.

"So worthless...you humans never cease to amaze me" He said while Clyde began to smile "And you ghouls never cease to amaze me either" He said as the sand reformed and went through the back of his head out the front through his left eye as disbelief and shock was the first set of emotions he watched him have before falling to the ground.

"What's the matter? You got dirt in your eye?" Clyde said as he knew he was mimicking a movie line that he used to watch as a kid before he found his abilities, when the world thought abilities would never exist and only made real on a television screen "Are you alright?" He began to ask her while quickly getting to her aid and picking her up and getting her back into the jeep driving through the gate before it closes itself again.

"Alright, now we just gotta get you those supplies right?" Clyde asked they came to a park by the stairway the door that allowed them access into the hospital and once he was inside he removed the heavy pile of sand that was left there to keep it open "Yes, and luckily I know where to look for it." She replied as Clyde could tell she was low on energy and couldn't keep up what she was doing forever and after getting her onto the second floor she looked at the map that was displayed on the wall "Okay, I know where to go, help me get to fl-"

*DING*

Was the sound of an elevator reaching it's destination as they both turned around to see men coming out of the elevator with rifles and shotguns aimed at them as Clyde could do nothing but sigh in frustration knowing this was something he needed to figure out how to get out of before his only survivor gets killed.
