Bears?

The three burly animals stared down both Cameron and Justin intently as they took the time to process what they were seeing in front of them. She had seen them out on hunts before, but that was much, much different than being trapped in a room unarmed with three of them. 

”Let’s go, now!” Justin had yelled, and she did not waste any time, sprinting behind him at full speed. 

”What the hell?” Cameron thought to herself as she ran. It was as if no energy was expended on running, but in fact, she felt even more energized by it. Powerful. She hadn’t even lost her breath by the time she had gotten to the door. 

But a feeling she did recognize was ever-present as Justin quickly slid through the doors, leaving her alone with the bears that she could her heaving behind her, was fear. Pure, unadulterated fear. Then, she heard Justin working to pry the doors back open, and to her surprise, it was working. She began to help him, assuming she wouldn’t do much, but they succeeded in opening them enough so Cameron could squeeze through.

She reached out a hand to grasp Justin’s forearm, and once secured, they both worked to shimmy her body through.

Once half of her body was through, she felt the sensation of something latching on to her foot. Cameron turned her head cautiously to the side to see a bear had sunk on of its claws into the sole of her boot, and now she was caught in the middle of a tug-of-war. She writhed until the boot was free from its grasp, then with as much force she could conjure up from the awkward position, she kicked the bear’s face between the eyes, causing it to whimper and moved back a foot or so. 

She grabbed on to Justin’s arm tighter, and once her hipbone moved past the metal doors, she nearly shot out to the other side and knocked him down. Cameron was breathing heavily, still in fight-or-flight mode, until she realized that she was safe. She looked down to Justin, who laid underneath her on his back, and she couldn’t help but begin to laugh, rolling off of him onto the metal floor to his right and attempting to catch her breath between bouts of giggles. “How did we do that?”

“Very good, you two,” Avery’s voice echoed throughout the metal hallway. “We were more interested in you guys killing the bears, but this should suffice.” 

Cameron looked to Justin and shrugged before standing up and brushing herself off. Before she could question Avery on what was next, her voice came again.

“You will have a short recess, then phase two of testing will begin.” 

A guard exited a door to their right and escorted the two down the corridor to an empty room, save two cots and a jug of water that sat between them. Cameron wasted no time and rushed to the jug, taking a few gulps before sighing heavily and wiping her mouth, then handing it to Justin. 

“Whatever they injected us with, I feel amazing.” Her eyes were wide as she began to pace the room with no interest in sitting down. “I wonder what the next phase is going to be.” 

“Mental,” a muffled voice came from the behind the door. The guard.

“Uh, thank you,” she replied with a smirk on her face. “And thank you,” she repeated as she swiveled on her heel to face Justin. “If it wasn’t for you, those bears would’ve had a four course meal of short brunette. And then you’d have to do the rest of the tests on your own.” Cameron plopped down on the cot in front of him finally and rested her face on her fist. “So, I guess they just expect us to live her peacefully if we pass all these tests, huh?”
