Serum Soldiers

Chapter 7 - How unfortunate..

The girls stood by their bedsides, confused about this mysterious man's motives. Was he trying to use some kind of reverse psychology? Or was he actually sorry? These questions flooded the girls' minds, trying to work out and process what was happening.

He walked to the door, and both of the guards looked at him in sync. They both looked, confused. He stopped just before the doors.

"I am genuinely sorry girls. Wrong batch."

Everyone stood in silence. No one dared to move. All that could be heard was the slight heavy breathing from the girls. Then the next set of questions flooded their minds. 'Wrong batch'? What was that supposed to mean? Was he expecting other people? What were the beds for? Was he going to test on them?

After an agonising few minutes of pure silence, the man muttered something under his breathe. He laughed slightly, making everyone even more confused than they already were. From behind, the girls saw his jaw move, suggesting that he mouthed something to the guard. Something he didn't want the girls to know.

"Right then!" He began. "Alex, Sam. Would you ever so kindly escorts these girls to the waiting room? They definitely don't belong here." The guards nodded, but didn't move. "Oh yes, I'm Henry and these two will escorts you girls." He was facing the girls and slowly backed away, out of the two doors. They began to close and Henry quickly added. "Well, you don't belong in this room. Not yet anyway.." The doors closed.

The guards, now known as Alex and Sam, moved forward. One in front of Charlotte and the other in front Jessie and Emma. Their muscular bodies towered over the girls.

"Time to go to sleep". One of them said, which was accompanied by a huge, meaty arm that swung down and hit the back of Charlotte's head. Before the others could react, the other guard's arm did the same to Jessie, leaving Emma standing between the knocked out bodies of her friends. "Goodnight" He said with a smile.

Emma felt something tough hit the side of her head, sending her to the floor. Her vision became blurry, and she was unable to lift her head up. Everything was in slowmotion, and there was nothing that she could do about it.

Darkness.
