Chapter 4 - Securing The 3rd Floor

"How do you know so much Xavier" Xavier stares back into Donavan's eyes and replies "I know no more than you, I just thought that there is no way we are the only one experiencing this right now, can you let me go now." Donavan looks into Xavier's eyes one more time before letting him go. Xavier continues to walk away from Donavan but after a few steps he suddenly stops "If you really want to do something about our situation right now I would recommend you try and find a way to secure this floor and after that were gonna have to wait for some sort of rescue after some time" and with that Xavier walked away.

Donavan started to think on what Xavier said and he thought that securing this floor would probably be the their best option of surviving. Donavan started through the hallways running past everybody who was fighting off the birds while trying to find some sort of way to prevent more birds from entering the building and after running for a while he sees what could be the answer to securing the floor.

While running through the hallways he spots a girl holding a wand who was trying to get away from one of the bird and he saw that the girl was able to put up a wall of stone to protect herself from the bird and to Donavan's surprise the bird was unable to break the wall and had no choice but to try to go around the walls the girl is placing. "This could be used to block off the windows of this floor" Donavan thought.

Donavan runs toward the girl and the bird with the plan of saving the girl from the bird, Donavan was quickly closing the distance between them and to Donavan's luck the bird was unaware of him so he would be able to kill it easily without it putting up a fight but unfortunately things usually don't go that smoothly for Donavan. The bird was able to catch up to the girl and managed to pinn her down with it's leg and was gonna kill her any second now, "I'm not gonna make it in time" Donavan thought.

Donavan started to speed up and when he sped up he became so fast even he was surprised at his own speed, he was able to get to catch up to the bird and without it noticing Donavan shoved his dagger into the head of the bird killing it.

Donavan took his knife out of the birds head and he looked at the frightened girl in the ground, "What's your name." The girl looked up and saw Donavan who was splattered with blood and although he was the one who saved her she honestly thought that he looked scary. "It's Jenna, I was just in the same class as you before all of this happened" Donavan took a closer look at the girl on the ground and just like she said she was Jenna. "Sorry about that I wasn't able to get a good look at you from a far" Donavan stretched his hand out to Jenna and to Donavan's surprise she didn't take it and instead got up by herself.

Jenna got up and looked at Donavan and with a some what angry expression said "I can get up by myself", "This girl is too much, I just saved her life and she talks to me in that manner bruh" thought Donavan. "Look I'm just gonna get to the point I saw you were able to put up stone walls to protect yourself am I correct" Jenna then aggressively walks towards Donavan. "Yeah I did do that so what" Donavan takes a few steps back from jenna who was walking towards her, "I need you to use more of those stone walls to block off the windows and the doors that leads downstairs so that more birds can't enter this floor."

Jenna looks at Donavan with a curios facial expression and realizes his plan to try and secure the floor "I can probably make enough walls to block all the windows on this floor as long as I am able to regenerate my mana but I'm gonna need you to watch my back can you do that", Donavan then responds "I'm gonna have to anyways so it doesn't matter if I can or not but before we go let me check something really quick." Donavan thought about his stats and just like last time his stats appeared.

"Just like I thought I obtained a new skill and stat points for leveling up, I wonder what I should spend my stat points on" after a minute or so Donavan was still unable to decide on what to spend the points on and he was interuppted by Jenna. "What are you doing we don't have all day" Donavan then smacked the screen away and refocused "Sorry I was zoning out for a bit, let's go now", Jenna then said "make sure you watch my back."

Jenna and Donavan both started running through the hallway blocking off windows with stone walls and it could be because the birds are now mutated and their intelligence are now increased but they all focused their attention on Jenna and Donavan. As all of the birds rushed towards Jenna Donavan prepared himself to protect her, one of the birds attacked Donavan with it's beak and just like he had done several times already Donavan dodges the attack and stabs it in the head killing it.

As Donavan pulls his knife out of the birds head Donavan sees that another bird was rushing towards him, Donavan squeezes the handle of his dagger and prepares for the bird to attack. Donavan readied himself for an attack but once the bird got close enough to Donavan it jumps over Donavan and flies straight toward Jenna "S***" Donavan cussed out loud.

Donavan activated the skill assassin's adrenaline to try to catch up to the bird but even with the increase in speed he still won't be able to catch up the bird. When the bird was about to attack Jenna she closed her eyes and expected to be killed but to her surprise when she reopens her eye she see's Cayden holding his giant great sword and a dead mutated bird on the ground. Cayden turns around and takes a look at Jenna "are you okay" Jenna looks at Cayden with a dazed expression and said "y-yeah I'm fine, thank you."

Donavan was finally able to catch up to them and he saw that the person who saved jenna and probably also saved everybody on this floor was no other than Cayden. "Thanks for saving jenna" Donavan said, Cayden looks at the stone walls replacing the windows and realizes their plan to secure the floor "I see, so your plan is to block the windows with the stone walls." Donavan then replied "yeah it is and thanks to you the plan can still continue" Cayden then said "let me help guard Jenna to, one sword is better then two"

Donavan then replied "I can't see why you cant", Cayden then said "all right then shall we continue." The three of them continued running through the hallways while Jenna blocks off the windows in the class rooms and in the hallways while Donavan and Cayden defended her. After a while they were able to kill all the mutated birds and block off the windows and the doors that lead to the stairs securing the floors.

"We finally did it" said Donavan, the three of them were finally able to relax and they all took a look around to see the amount of bodies on the ground and saw that the numbers of people were now about half of what it was before, Jenna then said "what are we supposed to do now."
