Through the Dark

The dry leaves crunched under my boots as I led Tuukka and Pekka deeper into the forest. "It should be around here..."
"Oh my gosh, he's really hiding if we have to go this deep into the forest!" Pekka exclaims.
"This deep?" I turned to face Pekka. "This doesn't even touch the definition of 'deep' to me!" I scoffed and ran through the dimming sunlight that parted the trees in half; it led me to the cliff. "Over here, guys!"
They came up behind me and looked down.
The building seemed unoccopied, like eveyone left or were just taking a break.
"This is it," Tuukka muttered. "This is Kari's place."
"So now what?" Pekka asks him.
"We make sure to see if he is alive or if someone else is taking over his place."
"So you guys are actually gonna break into the building?" I gave them a worried look.
"How else are we gonna know? This is our chance--it's better to get caught than get attacked and killed unexpectedly." Tuukka sat on the edge of the cliff and began to slide down. At least it wasn't that huge of a cliff, just like a slope.
Pekka and I followed him.
"Okay, so Pekka--" Tuukka turned to Pekka, who was dusting himself. "--are you okay going alone?"
"Me?" Pekka made an offended look and pointed to himself. "You're gonna send only me in there?!"
"No, no, no, we all are going in there, but are you okay being seperate from us?"
"Why are you gonna do that?"
"Because this guy might get lost." Tuukka nudged me a bit.
"I'm not a little kid," I told him.
"Still, you're new to this." Tuukka turned to Pekka. "Okay?"
Pekka sighed and said begrudgingly, "Okay." He walked into the building, which surprisingly was unlocked.
"And you're coming with me. Let's go." I followed Tuukka into the building.
The inside of the building had a long, white hallway, which was bright and empty.
"I hate these hallways..," Tuukka muttered to himself.
"So why do you want to go in here then?" I asked him.
"You weren't suppose to hear that."
"Well, okay then."
We walked around the hallways, with my hand on my holster the whole time. All we just found were just more and more and more white hallways.
"Okay, so we've been walking around here for more than thirty minutes and we found nothing. Are we done now?"
"No, this can't be empty! Unless this is a trap..."
"Well, there were people outside of this building today, so there are people here..."
"Maybe not actually here right now, though." Tuukka groans. "Maybe we just came at a wrong time--"
We heard footsteps echoing to our direction.
"Shoot, someone's here," I whispered.
"That's good... Now we know that there is some civilization here..." Tuukka backed up, pointing what seenmed like a high-tech gun at the direction of where the footsteps were coming from.
I pulled out my huge gun from my holster and placed it on my shoulder, getting ready to cock it.
"Nice gun; you kill giants?" Tuukka asked.
"Shut up, I hunt," I snapped.
Then a slim silhouette appeared in front of us.
"That's not Kari at all," Tuukka pointed out.
I turned to Tuukka. "Then who is it then?"
"I don't know. But whoever it is, it's gone."
I turned my head around sharply, seeing the place where the person was at now empty. "No one can't leave that fast. It must have powers..." I began to turn around, searching for him or her.
Suddenly, something fell on me. I tumbled to the ground, trying to escape from what felt like a sleek rope, no, a snake; I was being attacked by a snake. "Oh shoot, oh shoot, oh shoot!" I tried to grab my gun, but it was already out of my reach, since I dropped it when I feel down. I struggled to get the thing off, but it kept on getting tighter and tighter and tighter. "TUUKKA!!!" I threw a few punches at it, but I wasn't able to hit it. Then I was dragged to the wall, getting my back slammed when I hit the wall. I looked down at my waist and saw two black, gloved hands clasped on me. My face grew pale.
"Who are you?" Tuukka shouted randomly.
I followed the arms that were on me, which led to a woman dressed in black, like a ninja. But the weird thing was that she had a great grasp on me even though she was five feet away from me. How? Her arms were stretched insanely.
"What are you guys doing here?" the lady asked Tuukka.
"I asked the question first: Who are you?"
She sighed. "I'm Mitty, okay? There."
"Why did you attack him?" Tuukka pointed to me.
I looked at Tuukka, trying to tell him to get me out of here with just only my eyes.
"Hey, my turn to ask a question," Mitty told Tuukka.
"Okay, go ahead."
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We're here looking for Kari Lehtonen. Why did you attack him?"
"Because I assumed that you guys were going to attack me."
"Nooo...we wouldn't do that, but we would only if you attacked us."
"Well, it's kinda late for that fact now. But with your guns out and everything, it gave me the impression that you guys were gonna kill me."
"Sorry."
"Can you let go of me now?" I squeaked.
Mitty looked down at me. "Oh, yea, sorry." She pulled her arms back to their normal length.
I jumped to my feet and quickly swiped my gun from the ground.
"Why are you here?" Tuukka asks Mitty.
"Because...there are a lot of great valuables here..."
"So you're here to steal?"
"Yea. Make money. That stuff."
"You work with Kari?"
"Hell, no. I hate that guy."
"Don't worry, same here." Tuukka rasied his hand in agreement.
"You freak me out," I randomly tell Mitty.
Mitty gave me a weird look. "Well, thank you for that lovely comment there."
"I was meaning to say: What's with the arms? I thought you were a snake."
"I have flexiblity powers. Have a problem with that?"
"Now I don't."
"Good. I'm thankful for them because they make stealing a whole lot easier."
"Yea, you juked out two guys with powers." Tuukka chuckled. "Imagine guys without any powers."
"They'd never catch me." Mitty smirked. "What powers do you guys have?"
I cringed a bit, not wanting to tell my powers to her.
Tuukka raised his gun in the air. "This."
The temporal weight on my shoulders left me when Tuukka came in and practically saved me; I tried to hide my upcoming laugh. "You call that supernatural?"
"Aren't you blind?" Mitty snapped. "His hand is a gun!" She rushed up to Tuukka and exaimned it in the moonlight. "That is so cool!"
"Your hand can turn into a gun?" I exclaimed.
"Yea," Tuukka answered.
"Nice, I'd love that. Wouldn't have to be carrying this monster." I raised my gun into the air.
"What's your guys' names?" Mitty asked, looking at both of us.
"I'm Tuukka," Tuukka answered.
"And I'm Corey," I told her.
"Okay..."
"You want to join us?" Tuukka asked Mitty.
"Join you guys with what?"
"Well...trying to find Kari..."
"Why would you want to find him? I thought you hate him." She crossed her arms.
"What's worse: finding that dude and knowing what he's up to and where he's at or having an unexpected attack by him?"
"Ah, I get what you're saying. I'd take the first one."
"See?" Tuukka looked at me. "You okay with her joining us?"
I gave Tuukka an odd look. "Us? I'm already joined with you guys?"
"Uh...yea..."
I shrugged. "I guess that's fine--"
"What the hell are you guys doing just talking..." Pekka stopped walking adn his voice faded when he saw Mitty. "Who's she?"
"I'm Mitty," Mitty told Pekka.
"Oh. I'm Pekka."
"Pekka, she's gonna be joining us with Corey," Tuukka told Pekka. "Is that fine?"
"Does she have powers? Does she know about Kari?"
"Oooh yes she does..." I nodded my head multipule times.
"Well then, let's call this a night and go home. We can continue our search tomorrow. Okay?" Tuukka asked. We all agreed. "Alright, let us go."
