There was no time to explain as I shook Kya awake, helping her sit up and put her vest on. She took my offered hand without question as we darted out of the small room, where alarms suddenly started to shout their warning. I listened closely as other people began to emerge from their cubicles, hurriedly putting on their vests and running along with us. If one listened hard enough, there was a pattern in the alarm.
Kya gave my hand a squeeze as we both figured out the pattern at the same time. We were being attacked by a government ship. I let go of Kya's hand, knowing she was fully awake now and able to be guided on her own. My twin sister ran equally at my side, her brown hair whipping out behind her.
As we darted down a smaller hallway, there was a change in the alarm. It was such a small change that anyone who wasn't trained to hear it, didn't. I darted a look at Kya as we slowed down.
Intruders had forced their way in.
The small crowd behind us was silent, as were Kya and I. The alarm cut off, as did the lights. But still, all of us were silent and kept running. We knew this place by heart, and had confidence in our step.
But that changed as a scream lit the air, a scream of pain. I skid to a forceful stop, as did the others. Silence once again dominated. But something was wrong...very wrong.
"Kya...? Kya!"
