I immediately felt guilt as he lifted me up and tried to fly to the top. Such a stupid thing to say when it was already obvious that I could fly. Unfortunately, Kip didn't know and using wings that probably weren't meant for true flying struggled to lift two people to the top. Somehow, he managed and after setting me down, collasped to the ground to regain his breath.
"Go ahead and check the door. I just need to sit for a minute......" Kip rasped.
I gave a little smile and walked to the door that led down to the topmost floor. Touching it for a brief moment, I jerked it back as heat seared my fingers.
"Ok, we're going to have to do this the hard way," I mumbled.
Taking a step back, I held both hands out and shot forth bolts of electricity that enveloped the whole frame. Grabbing the electricity as if using it as a rope, I took a deep breath and gave a hard tug. The hinges must've been weak because the door easily gave way and allowed itself to be thrown to the side of the roof.
"Ready to join me?" I turned back to Kip, who was already standing.
He gave a brief nod as we headed in. A few seconds inside and we could immediately feel the heat...well, at least I could. I didn't know how well Kip's skin could shield him from ranging temperatures but it felt like an oven to me.
"I don't hear anyone but we should probably go down a few floors just to check," I reasoned.
We started heading down, me on the stairs and Kip gripping the walls. Coming into the middle of the building and the smoke and fire started coming upwards, blocking us from going downstairs. I coughed and blinked back a few tears, overcome by the smoke and heat.
"Gavin's bubbles sound good right about now," I gasped.
"Wait, do you hear that?" Kip said suddenly.
I strained my ears and heard a loud moan, which sounded faint to us.
"Where are they? I can't tell where it's coming from."
"I think it's coming from the elevator," he responded.
We hurried down the hall and towards the elevator, where the voice started to grow more faint.
"Hey, is anyone in there?" I shouted.
"Please... save us," a woman coughed and then fell silent.
