I was so relieved to see the Shinx girl (whom I still did not know the name of) was okay and alive and healthy. Well, except for a superficial [that means shallow] gash on the side of her head which was bleeding. Otherwise she was fine! I heard a gasp of shock behind me and when I turned, Nina had gone. I think she ran away.
The Shinx girl was thinking the same thing I was, for she asked why Nina had freaked out.
I pointed to her head. "You were bleeding a bit," I said softly, smiling slightly, though I knew not why.
I watched as she held her hand to her head and when she pulled away I saw the blood stretch a bit before detatching to her hand, which meant that it was drying. And that the bleeding had stopped. "Well never mind that," she said, standing up. "We need to get out of this place, and take as many gijinkas with us as possible."
Estelle and the other girl exchanged a look then, and they hugged fiercely. "I'm really glad we found you..." Estelle said, her voice muffled a bit. In the dim light I saw her cheeks glistening with the other girl's blood and her own tears. "We were really worried about you, Sheek."
So that was her name! Sheek. I stepped forward when they parted their embrace and grabbed both of their hands. "Let's go save some people," I said decisively.
We exited the room and walked down the hallway a bit. Since all of us were felines, we all stopped and held our breath at the same instant. We heard two figures talking around the corner. The Shinx girl--Sheek-- sneaked around the corner and after a bit she motioned to us.
It was Nina! And she was with yet another gijinka! I could barely discern what she was because she had a cloak on as well, but I could tell she was a Pikachu.
"Umm....hi?" Sheek said.

After our run-in with the poor, crazy Machop boy, Estelle, Nina, and I decided to try to rescue as many gijinkas out of this building as possible. Who could have the craziness to torture these poor people? It made me shudder even more. In the dim light I saw Nina pick up something from the floor. What was that?
We cautiously left the room, but the guard wasn't around anymore. He must've gone to check other hallways, hallways that might be housing even more gijinkas than we thought.
We kept walking slowly and quietly down the corridors, taking a left, and then we got to a fork. Go straight, or turn right? I sniffed, but it was hard to tell where the Shinx-girl went. The three of us stood perfectly still, not making any sound. Then I heard a faint voice say, as if verrrrry far away,
"Do you want to play a game....?"
That might be the girl we were rescuing! My ears swiveled to find the source of the noise, but Estelle was quicker. Nina, being a Nidoran and not a feline, didn't seem to hear the voice. Estelle pointed to the hallway in front of us, and Nina and I noiselessly followed. Only the tiny sound of Nina's shoes tapping the wet and dirty floor was heard.
After following Estelle down more corridors, and up two flights of even more dimly-lit stairs, she held out her hand in the universal sign for 'stop'. She stepped closer to a door on her right and listened intently. She looked back at us and nodded solemnly. The Shinx-girl was in there!
