Duncan watched as it all happened in slow motion. One second, Courtney was about to give them all directions, the next- Owen was laying on the floor, an arrow sticking out of his head between his eyes. A pool of blood had began to form around his head, and Izzy was hysterical. Sobbing and rocking back and forth on her knees. 

"Oh my god!" Courtney cried in horror, her face had gone pale along with everyone else's. 

"Where did it come from!?" Noah yelled, holding Cody close to him. Gwen had tears streaming down her cheeks and Trent was looking around the giant room

"I don't fucking know!" Duncan yelled. 

"Izzy... Izzy we have to go, before they.. Hurt anyone else!" Heather pleaded with the girl, Izzy shoved Heather away from her, and clutched to Owen's body. 

"We need to leave, now. Get to the kitchen!" Bridgette ordered, pointing to the double doors just up ahead. 

"Izzy, please!" Courtney pleaded, her eyes looking back and forth between the kitchen doors and the red head.

"O.. Owen," Izzy sobbed. Pulling at her hair as she cried. 

"Courtney, come on," Duncan grabbed her arm, trying to get her to move. Courtney stood firmly in place

"No, I'm not leaving her!" Courtney argued. She turned her back to him and paid attention to Izzy. 

Suddenly the sound of a gunshot sounded through out the room, everyone ducked. The girls screamed in shock.

"We have to move, now!" Heather snapped. 

Duncan growled when Courtney didn't move, so he quickly threw her over his shoulder and rushed out of the room with everyone else. Courtney pounded on his back

"Let me go! Izzy! Izzy please!" Courtney cried, but Izzy stayed put. 

Another gunshot rang out, and Courtney watched in horror as Izzy was shot in the head. The girl fell forward, her body crumbled over Owen's.

Courtney let out an ear piercing scream, and covered her eyes with her hands. 

Duncan was the last into the kitchen, he set Courtney down, but she crumbled to her knees with a sob. Duncan, Geoff, Alejandro, and Trent all grabbed a nearby food table and shoved it against the kitchen door. Along with other heavy items. 

"Did you see that? They.. Shot her! Oh God!" Bridgette said, shaking uncontrollably. Noah and Cody were cowering in the corner. 

"What do we do!?" Heather said "We're trapped!" 

Everyone paused, and slowly looked at each other. Their faces pale with horror. 

"We're gonna die.. We're gonna die," Courtney was mumbling, shaking her head and covering her ears. Duncan quickly kneeled down and pulled her tightly into his arms. 

"No, Princess. We're not," he whispered, stroking her hair gently. The others watched with surprise. Duncan kissed her temple a few times, and Courtney reduced to quiet tears. He felt her shaking, and Duncan slowly looked up at Trent, Alejandro and Geoff. The three shared looks that meant one thing.

No was was hurting their girls. 

"Look," Geoff said, getting everyone's attention "Those doors are shut, locked, and protected. Nothing and no one is getting in here without one of us knowing. We should be safe, as of right now,"

This news seemed to ease everyone a little bit. 

"We will take watches of the door," Trent continued. Alejandro nodded

"Trent and I will go first," he said. Heather stepped forward, a worried look in her eyes

"Please, be careful," she whispered. He touched her cheek gently and nodded

"I will," he whispered. Heather threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly. He hugged her back, closing his eyes. 

"Well, as long as that door is secure, we should try to get some sleep," Cody said, Noah and him snuggled up with each other in the corner. Bridgette slowly sat down on the floor with her legs crossed, her eyes looking at her engagement ring on her finger with a far away look. Duncan nodded at his friends, and scooped Courtney up in his arms. He carried her to the other corner of the kitchen and slowly sat down with his back against the wall, and her in his arms.

About 2 hours later, Duncan was woken up by a gently shake of the shoulder. His eyes opened with a start, his grip on Courtney tightening. But he relaxed when he saw it was only Trent waking him up

"It's your shift," Trent whispered, Duncan nodded and gently laid a sleeping Courtney down on the ground. He stood up, shaking the sleep out of his system and slowly took his spot next to Cody in front of the doors. 

Cody gave him a sideways look, and smirked. 

"What are you smirking at?" Duncan whispered, raising a brow at the guy. Cody shrugged and still smirked

"You still love her, don't you?" Cody asked, surprising Duncan. Who jolted and glanced at the guy

"What?" Duncan asked. Cody chuckled quietly

"You don't protect someone you don't love like that. I saw the way you guys were with each other earlier," Cody said, giving a knowing look at Duncan. Who blushed and looked away quickly

"Don't worry. I won't tell," Cody whispered, reassuring Duncan. Who nodded once as a thank you. 

"I'm finally getting close to her again, and I don't want anything ruining it. So thank you for keeping it a secret," Duncan mumbled quietly. Cody shrugged.

And with that out in the open, the two continued their watch of the doors.
