Breaking Out

(Yu An Xue's Perspective)

I crouched down near the door, pressing my ear against the cold metal. "Sis...one is right behind...this door..."

My long-lost sister, Yu An Yan, nodded and arched her arm back, in preparation for a mighty swing of her axe. Our plan here was to take down one of the two monsters outside by surprise, then pincer attack the other. In order for this to happen, the monster we were surprising had to be right in front of the door.

I looked at my sister, and gave her a countdown using hand gestures.

3...2...1!

An Yan swung her axe with all of her strength and I ducked out of the way right before it struck the door.

CRASH!
