Epidemic of Extinction

chapter 11

   *Macy

   It has been 1 month since I met Jordan and 3 weeks since I met Gabriel. Gabriel always consoles me when I get my nightmares. I woke up one morning and checked the date. July 4th. No point in the fireworks now huh. I walked out into the living room without a care in the world. Then when I walked into the kitchen someone put a cloth on my face and everything went black.

   When I woke up, we were in a familiar room, but I knew I haven't been here before. Then I looked around. No corners. Is this the circle office? Beside me Carter and Gabriel were sleeping their sedative off. They were bound to the chair just like me. Then 1 thought came to mind. 1 thought that could break me. 1 thought that was everything. Where's Madison? Then I started to scream.

   "WHERE IS MADISON! WHERE IS SHE! AHHHHHHH!"

   Then someone came in. I examined him it was....senator Grande. Gabriel had told me about how he used to beat him and Carter. He used to call it "teachings." He was an evil man. How dare he touch Madison and Carter and Jordan.....and....and...Gabriel.

   "Well, well, well. If it isn't miss Macy Katherine Smith. It seems you are not dead as you were presumed to be on February 26, 2014 due to the epidemic. Have I presumed correctl?"

   He had. I hadn't told anyone who is still alive about that. By now the brothers had awoken and we're confused by the assumption.

   "Yes"

   "That's what I thought. Now I am going to name the symptoms of the disease and tell me if you've had them. Ok?"

 

   "NO I WILL NOT BE A LAB RAT! I WILL NOT DROP TO YOUR LEVEL!"

   Then he slapped me...Hard. then he asked me again and again, and I had the same answer every time... no. We repeated the process for hours. Then he spoke.

   "Wait now I have an idea. See now if you care for my son so much than what happens when I hurt him."

    I then remembered that the boys were still I  here with me. Then the governor took an knife and sliced into Gabriel's stomach. It wasn't deep enough to kill him but it was pretty darn close. He let out with a loud agonizing scream. I can't watch him very hurt. I had to agree.

   "Now will you?"

   "Yes."

   "Nausea?"

   "Yes"

   "Headaches?"

   "Yes"

   "Excessive puking?"

   "Yes"

   "You survived the plague's disease?"

   "Yes"

   "Did you come back from the dead?"

   "Yes"
