The Obelus

-15- Flee the Facility

 "What's going on?"

Everything is burning down around you. People are rushing to the exits and escaping the area.

"What do we do?"

Phoebe pulls you through the crowd and you and a few others manage to drive off while the others are fighting off the Obelus guards.

"Go! Go, 43!" Members of the Militia scream at you. "Tell the others!"

You go and tell the others. They realise that they should probably go rescue Gen.

"43! Over here! Do you need a car?"

"Ah, yes I do, but I won't use it for escaping!"

"Oh, okay then, where do you want to go? I'll drive you there?"

"The facility! I'll explain once we get in the car!"

You board the car with the person.

"Hey I never got to ask, who are you?"

The person smiles mischievously and points a gun at you.

"Enchanté, Mademoiselle, I am Jiayi, a faithful devotee of the Obelus. Boss will be so proud of me to see me catch today. You really are gullible, aren't you?"

"Ah! Let me go!"

"Oh, silly, why would I, when I've obtained such a... treasure."

"You creep! I'd rather spend my lifetime in the facility than with you! You heartless and cruel monster!"

"Aww, princess, how fun it is to see you so helpless, so tiny and weak. While I've got you here, why not have some fun...hm?"

Jiayi slides their hand across your chin and points the gun closer to your head.

"Wha- what are you going to do?"

"Oh my darling little princess, it would be such a shame to let that dreaded facility take control of you! I promise to treat you, very, very good! Just obey me, princess, and I'll be sure to make your time with me a charming, pleasing time!"

"Let me go! I won't let you control me!"

"How could I, princess? Now stay quiet or you'll regret it."

"..."

Jiayi crawls into the backseat with you, still pointing the gun at you.

"That's right, stay still, don't resist, and be good and maybe you won't get too hurt."

He tugs his hand behind your head and brings it closer until your lips touch. Jiayi's eyebrows lower and he closes his eyes, waiting for the satisfaction to creep over.

"You like that, dont you? My sugar-filled lollipop?" Jiayi says as he digs the gun closer to your head.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Aw, aren't you gonna thank me for the activity daddy will give you?"

"Listen, I'm only here cuz you forced me here. Once I get out, I will rip your guts out, drown you till your lungs dry out from screaming then throw you into a pit of bombs."

"You really think you're doing something don't you sweetheart? The only one to blame is yourself, now, sleep tight darl"

You start feeling queasy and your vision begins to fade as you watch jiayi smile and wave at.

"Ah, where am I..."

You open your eyes. You notice your surroundings. You are back in the cell you were in previously, and Jiayi is standing on the other side of the bars, smirking, while fiddling with the keys to your cell.

"Oh princess, you've finally woken up!"

Jiayi looks at you and jiggles the keys, they sirk at you seeing how you clearly want them.

"I mean, I could give you the keys..."

They extend their arm to your side of the bars. You spring up in an attempt to get them, but he pulls them just barely out of your grasp.

"Aww, seems like you really need them darling. I could go grab you another bread roll, but I think you're going to have to be obedient to me, alright? I might need a kiss first..."

"Don't even think about it."

Jiayi starts walking away from your cell with a disappointed look on their face.

"Ugh Wait! Fine! I'll do it... I guess."

You close your eyes and get it over and done with, and Jiayi walks away, grabbing the bread roll from the storage room.

"Here, take this darling. There's a test for you at 3:42 alright?"

You start chewing on the stale bread roll and realise that 3:42 is in a few minutes. You close your eyes, and as soon as you open them again, Jiayi is next to you, holding a syringe.

"Now darling, just let me put this in quickly..."

The last thing you see before blacking out is Jiayi leaning over to you.

You wake up in a panic and realise that the testing is over because there are purple bruises on the left side of your arm.

"Oh! Hello, kitten. Seems you've woken up. Now...Time for your daily testing, or as I like to call it, Jiayi Fun Time."

"Jesus, I just woke up..."

"Oh? Then how was your beauty sleep darling?"

"You agreed to give me the keys after you did that test. Now give it."

"Aww, fine. But you'll have to do something to get it, 'kay kitten?"

"Well, give me the keys first so I won't know you're lying."

"Oh? Pumpkin's mad now aye? So cute, I can't resist but give you these keys."

Jiayi hands the keys to you. You take this chance, unlock the door and throw Jiayi onto a passing Obelus guard. You take the Obelus guard's gun, grenade and knife, and shoot the Obelus guard, but Jiayi gets off the ground and starts to fight you. You slash at Jiayi and he falls onto the ground, you take this chance and run for it.

You run and shoot any Obelus guards that come your way and finally, you come across Subject 21's cell.

You bomb the door, and go in to save Gen. You and Gen hop into a vent and started crawling through it. Suddenly you realise you don't actually know how to get out. You start crawl for a while and peep into a room. You see Jiayi, holding a map of the air vents.

"Oh kitten! I know you're somewhere in there. Come to daddy!"

Jiayi walks around the huge storeroom. You decide to risk it and you go down to retrieve the map without Jiayi seeing you. You get the map and climb into the air vent again. You try to shoot Jiayi but you have no more bullets left. You and Gen follow the map and crawl through into the area, and out of the facility.
