Scratching noises began as the groves in the walls got deeper. Dorian's heart was in his throat, pounding and threatening to escape. This was worse that a raid. This was his life on the line. Now he only had to move slowly and quietly. He was gratful for the night vision on his goggles as he rounded a corner and stopped.
In front of him was a writhing mass of darkness and inside the center was a single spot white. A man in a lab coat. Much like the rest of them Dorian wanted to turn away. But they slumbered and Dorian found his way around the corner. Nox's maps were valid but yet this whole hadn't been on it. Dorian thanked the heavens it wasn't but he had to lure the mass of bodies towards Jens.
Dorian flicked his flash light on and then threw his flashlight as far as he could down the long corridor the way he'd come. It bounced and clattered across the floor and the light shone down in their direction. With stealth of practice Dorian slide back around the opening and waited and prayed. He pulled his gun and waited for the next thing to come around the corner at him. The only thing Dorian heard was the scratching on the walls as the mass of things advanced and the sound of his own heart.
