One sweep of the hallway with her flashlight told Claire that it was almost empty. Creepy. She hated going places alone more than she hated wondering if Sylar was that stranger in the corner. With a shifty gaze, she looked over her shoulder at Elle and slowed her pace so that the other girl could walk beside her instead of just following. If they were very apparently together, maybe they'd be less likely to get jumped.
"Stick close," she ordered, tightening her grip on the shard of glass and not noticing in the slightest as it whittled away at the tendon between her thumb and forefinger. At this rate, if they actually did run into anything, she wouldn't even be able to hold the glass tightly enough to do anything with it. But, the lack of pain kept her from noticing the way her blood was dripping freely off, even as the wound resisted healing.
"I haven't heard of anything really bad being in the hallways, and we're almost out, but ..." She wasn't going to take any chances. Not on the way to finding herself a real weapon, anyway.
