Abbatoir.

...

The three if you moved out of the room towards the only light that was visible to yours eyes not knowing when any monster could jump at you, and it was indeed a weird feeling.

You felt emotions more than one. Sadness, agony, frustration, confident, perplexed and nervous too. And when a human feels more than one emotion they call it panic.

Perhaps, humane can't handle more than one emotion yet they are called the most intelligent animal on earth. Meeting another individual who is stronger than them intimidates them, their selfish self want to be better than their own species. Yet they are the one who writes those good discipline, moral books, almost as if protesting against cutting tress by making posters "save tree" on paper.

Francis walked infront of you, Angus behind you as you being in the middle of them. You couldn't help but wrinkle you nose at the smell that was coming from Angus but being kind and generous you didn't showed it. After walking fot some quite time. All of yours eyes laid on the back stairs, a relief came across both of yours and Francis's face.

"That must be the back stairs right?" Angus asked interepting the eye contact between you and Francis. At response Francis only gave him a small nod with his usual tired face.

But before the three of you could lay your foot on the beam of light a sudden noise emerged from the door on the side of you. It was a faint sound of something falling. On instinct you backed away quickly with a flinch as Francis came over to you, standing infront of you protectively. At this point you've become used to being too scared and anxious. You clenched the taser that was in your pocket. After some thought process it must be a human. Why would a doppelganger hide in an apartment?

Francis turning his head behind gave you and Angus a look before taking quiet and slow steps towards the apartment's door. With his slightly trembling hand he slowly raised it and gave a knock at the wooden door.

And after clearing his throat his voice hesitant he spoke "Is anyone there?"

As soon as he said those words some faint sounds of footsteps were heard. Cold sweat ran down, the three of you awaited what was about to unfold infront you as soon as the door will open. It will either be a live or death.

The door nob twisted as the door opened revealing no-one other than Elenois Schezert? Elanna? You thought. All you shoulders slumped in relief seeing that you weren't gonna die yet.

Her face has seemed to go from one that was scared to one that had relief and a smile knowing she wasn't gonna die yet.

A sigh escaped her mouth as she opened the door more. "I was really scared..." she said in a really low tone while putting a hand on her chest and letting out another breathe.

You took some steps towards her. Suddenly her eyes were filled with heavy tears, you were slightly taken aback by those sudden tears but it was the most safest reaction someone could have. Then she putted her palms on her face as she let those tears fell through, the aderline rush must've worned her off. You raised one hand and putted it on her shoulder as you opened your mouth to comfort her she huged you, you accepted the hug and welcomed her with warm arms. You rubbed her back soothingly wanting to calm her down. She wasn't either sobbing or crying it was just an aftermath after the intense situation she went through.

With some seconds passing by you both pulled away, her eyes were still wet you noticed. "Everything will be fine." You softly said to her. She nodded in response. "Yeah we're gonna be out of here." Angus spoke to reassure her. Her small smile was back.

She was the most sweetest women you knew. People always assumed she was rude because of her resting face, it looked unfriendly so people almost never approached her and with her being an introvert it also didn't helped much. You both were close that you even had given her a nickname "Elanna" It meant shining light.

With a smile and softness in your voice you spoke "We're gonna be out of here soon, so don't worry." She nodded her head. Her smile gave you enough answer that she was alright and ready to move towards the light with you.

"We should wait for her to calm down before we move." Angus simply said as he took a step towards the both of you. "Don't worry about me, I'm alright." Giving you a smile then moving her head back at Angus Elenois said.
"I think it will be the best for you and...Us."
Angus's tone of voice has seemingly changed. It was almost as if his demeanour changed.

Francis took a step towards us. "The faster we get out of here the better." He furrowed his brows slightly as he said. Both those men were staring at each other. No one should fight at this point and so at the most vulnerable moment. But for some reason you didn't said anything, words couldn't form inside your head. After some seconds passing by, though they felt like am hour that was passing with tension in the air getting heavy. Angus statement and both Francis statements were rational. Both of those thoughts fought inside your mind. Feeling something weird inside your stomach emerge.

"It would be better if we get out of this place...as soon as possible."

You finally gathered up some words and spoke, letting the air hand in between probably would've been a good idea. All the three of them looked at you, their sudden eyes landing on you felt weird. Angus face definitely changed and his demeanour too, it was really obvious now. But why was he acting this way? Francis gave out a small smile at you, Elenois who was smiling just gave a upside-down frown with still that smile. But before Angus or anyone could say something sudden heavy stomps emerged. All of your hearts thumped and soon all the three of you saw the doppelganger turn into the corner and appear in the distance, aiming just for all of you. It seemed like a cheetah sprinting towards it's prey.

The blood curdling sight was like a nightmare come true. Your body almost gave up, feeling your knees about to give up. At that time you didn't care about anyone but your live. You wanted to scream, really loud but your body was too weak to. Was this the end for you all? After coming this far? A fucked up situation they say...
