thank you all! =]
(…10…)

The lights flicker and switch on whirring quietly.
“What the heck?! You lied to me!” Ed shouts and aims at Nat: “What where you trying to do?!-Betray us and help one of them escape?!” He spreads his face tentacles with anger and swears something.
Suddenly Nat snatches my rifle from behind and a second later –before I even can turn around something hits me on the head very hard.
My vision blurs and I see 01 appearing behind Ed silently like a shadow.
A shot is whizzing past me.
I sink to my knees falling to the ground –unconscious.
***
As I open my eyes again I see Ed lying on the ground next to the door.
“Ed?! –Hey are you ok?” –I stand up and run towards him.
He’s still breathing so I assume he’s just knocked out.
But who knocked him out?
Suddenly the strange feeling of being watched returns. As I turn to see what it is I can’t believe my eyes. It is a young female Mudokon. Her skin is very pale and she looks at me with her big pallid eyes.
“You said you won’t let him die…” She whispers with a weak voice standing motionless like a statue.
It takes my breath away. Is she real or am I still dreaming? –Did I even wake up?
I watch her turning around calmly walking away.
My hands tremble a little. 02…02 do you know? …Do you know?
I watch her tattooed back as she disappears behind the corner –a moth with wings that go from one blade bone to the other one.
“Stop talking.” I whisper.
02 you can’t know it how should you know…
I said shut up!
***
“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!”
-A scream startles me. – it comes from the corridor.
“That was Tjired!” I say to myself and start running towards him.
Tjired is on his knees bleeding from his mouth shouting Sliggish insults. Suddenly he jumps up and runs past me.
“Hey what did happen?!” I yell and run after him.
****
Back in the hall he halts abruptly and turns to me after a while breathlessly pointing at the doorway, where Ed is still lying. He says something in sliggish again implying me to search that way.
He himself takes the other corridor to the left – where that strange girl disappeared a few minutes ago.
Before I can stop him he is gone leaving me standing in silence.
The whirring of the lamps gets on my nerves and so I go through the doorway peering at its far end, where I see someone’s shadow on the wall.
Someone is waiting for me.
