(OLD) Security Breach

Chapter 2 : Fuse Breaker

When Gregory opened his eyes, he imminently noticed he was looking up at the sky and it was scorching out. He soon leaned upwards and realized the backyard of a home he remembered all too well, he was in the Proctor Forest Orphanage! "No..." Gregory muttered to himself over and over as he sat down and began freaking out, having horrific memories flood his mind. Soon, he heard the voice of an all too familiar man calling out to him.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" He looked up and saw a man in a black t-shirt looking down at him from the second-story balcony. "It's food time, Greg! Get inside, and eat!" the man said, he was a tall man with an average build and was slightly balding. Gregory soon got up and slowly backed away, the man soon slammed his hands on the wooden guard and soon yelled "Gregory! Get the fuck up here or I'm going to come down there and gut you like the fat pig you are!"

Gregory didn't respond to the man's demand, and this only seemed to anger him further. The man began walking down the stairs and soon pulled out something that looked like a baton, "You're going to do what I say, Gregory! Your gonna get in there, and eat!" he said, waving the weapon around threateningly!

Gregory soon began panting heavily out of fear, and soon flight instincts took over and he turned around and began booking it! Soon, he ran into a shack that had a trap door and he then opened it. There was a ladder leading down into what looked like the entrance of a storm drain, but Gregory soon jumped down from his level and landed with a wet thud on the wet soil.

Soon, he heard the man yelling from above and he knew he had to keep running, at this point he has to if he doesn't wanna die. Gregory ran down the square tunnel that took a 90-degree turn to the left. He soon heard a thud behind him and heard more yelling from the man, and soon saw him rounding the corner as he made the turn. The chase was on!

Thankfully, Gregory was fast on his feet so he was able to outrun the man, though he was a little on the hefty side though. Gregory kept legging it, running down the tunnels like a hampster tube maze. Soon, he reached a drain leading into the outside, while just barely avoiding the man's baton. Gregory was small enough to fit through the drain, while the man could barely fit his body through the pipe.

Gregory crawled through, soon sliding down a rock mound and into a creek. He quickly got up and began running up a hill into a small little cave that lead into a small mine. He ran in, but the other side was all boarded up, although there was a small opening he could fit through, but so could the man chasing him. Just as Gregory was about to reach the boarded-up exit, he tripped over a small canister containing flammable gas and accidentally released some of it. Gregory quickly got up and soon moved under the boards, but not before feeling something get thrown at his leg!

He was knocked down and when he looked back, he saw the man unarmed, and saw what was thrown at him... his baton! Gregory soon began backing away, and the man soon said "You are in a shit-lode of trouble! We might have to take you to the-" as he said this, he got out a cigarette and a lighter, and soon lit the lighter. What he failed to realize, is that Gregory accidentally released some flammable gas into the air, and his striking the lighter ignited the gas and quickly caused all the other barrels to explode!

Gregory was thrown backward from the explosion, the blast making him slightly deaf for a brief period. When Gregory came too, he was in shock to see the mine engulfed in flames, and the entrance/exit was crumbling! That blast most diffidently killed the man, and Gregory knew who was to blame for this... him.

Soon, when his hearing came back. He heard a loud burst of noise to his right, and heard a loud thud on the ground! When he looked up at the source of the noise, his heart skipped a beat when he saw 2 people up on a rock in the forest with what looked like guns! Gregory quickly dove for cover as they began firing more and more rounds at him. He doesn't know much about guns, but given how loud the gunfire is, and how big the bullets are, they must be using some kind of revolver.
