The Hunter's blind heart.

Chapter 19

We were just about to leave this place, but now we had to find my friend, Aaron, I hoped he didn't get into some bad trouble. We are retracing the corridors of the structure, where we came from, only now we have to look for him, hoping that he is still alive, I don't want to be pessimistic, but this place gives off a sense of horror, darkness, a cold place without ever seeing the light, no fresh air just heaviness and rot, at least now we know where this heavy smell comes from.

Before leaving in search of Aaron I warned my companions to remain alert, no one had to leave the group and if they saw something strange moving they had to warn before taking any reckless action, I noticed that my companions were having a moment of despair and I also, but to help them and help myself, I told them to rhyme positive and that we would make it out, all of us.

But now that we are here, in this one corridor, I feel caged with only one way to go, but it always seems to be infinite, it seems as if there is no end and the corridor is always the same, cannot be said to be lost, it would be stupid, that's why we would need Aaron here, he would have known how to orient himself.

In total silence we heard a tinkle of something falling, all of us were by surprise and we turned towards the noise, the closer we were the more we heard someone panting quickly, until, once we entered a laboratory room, we found Aaron, who had his back to us while standing, his shoulders were quickly going up and down, the breathing could now be heard clearly as if he had been running from something or someone.

I approached him cautiously and noticed that he was not bloodstained or injured, so I decided to talk to him, cleared my throat, and said, "Aaron, my friend, we have to leave, our family is waiting for us at home. It's not safe to stay here, so please tell me what happened to you or how I can help you so we can leave together. "

Now it was me panting between one sentence and another, he seemed to be still in trans and I didn't understand what was happening to him, once I was close enough to him I noticed that his eyes were fixed on the ground and he didn't seem to pay attention, so I decided to gently place a hand on his shoulder so that he might react, but something happens that I didn't expect.

He turned to me, only with his face, only to have his gaze turned towards me, you could see the despair and sadness in his eyes, while I continued to stare at him he said to me: "Remember the days in war I still remember them as if it were yesterday, that horrible tragedy that happens to our comrades. That ambush didn't have to be there and if I had been a real soldier I would surely have acted with great honor, instead, you were already a warrior even if you were a rookie unlike me. "

" I don't understand why you're bringing up this war thing, but it's been a good 15 years and now we're much more mature and stronger, but this isn't the time to talk about it, so now let's get the fuck out of here!". 

I started to pull him by the arm and push him with all my strength so I could continue, but in a moment I heard ferocious cries and someone, indeed many who were straightening their feet, before we could move, Aaron suddenly froze and he said: "Do you want to get out of here? Here at least we could die in peace, why living when death can be peaceful eh?".

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! HERE NO ONE WANTS TO DIE IDIOT!", a friend of mine said, but none of them noticed besides me that Aaron's gaze had changed, he was going crazy, like the staff of this place, he seemed to be raving, but how the heck did it happen?

"Here my mistress is in charge of everyone, even the staff themselves are waking up, now there is no way out." Saying this I noticed his expression becoming cruel and psychopathic, but I think if we took him away from here, this intoxication that is in the air will disappear once we return to the surface, it must be so, I can at least try.
