Elyssa turned at Violet's voice and ducked out of the doorway, scraping her wings in her haste, then she ran, catching up with Violet. She leaned down so that way Violet could jump on her back, and ran even faster. She ran down the hallway until she came to another door, and hesitated. What about Red? But she heard the guard's shouts coming closer, and bullets whizzed over her head, spurring her into action. She burst out of two double doors, and stopped short. More guards were coming her way from the opposite direction, and her keen dragon sight spotted a key dangling from one of the guard's belt loops. "Hang on tight!" Elyssa ran towards the guards and used her body to ram into them, knocking them over like bowling pins. She then grabbed the key in her mouth, and kept on running, ignoring the guard still attached to it. She read the doors hastily as she passed, and came to a regally decorated one labeled "king's quarters." She opened that door and threw the guard inside, letting Violet get off of her back and into the door. Elyssa then wiggled her way into the door, which was considerably smaller, losing some scales in the process. She then shut the door and locked it with a sliding bolt. Then she turned to Violet. "Is the egg okay?"
