Phantom Of The Labyrinth (the World Below)

mystery

2 days later

It was a couple of days after the whole event between B and James.

James couldn't stop thinking about B, he often found himself fading into a daydream as he thought about B.
He was lying in bed getting ready to go to sleep. The bite still had a lot of pain coming from it but he just decided to take some paracetamol and leave it at that. that...

He lay down staring at the ceiling as he tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't, memories of B just kept repeating in his head. He tried everything to get to sleep, pulling the cover over his head, trying to focus on something else, closing his eyes tightly and stuffing his face into a pillow but nothing worked. He started to fidget around and tried to get comfortable but nothing worked. He tried to sleep desperately but nothing helped.

He decided to get up and do something. He remembered B's jacket, so he went over to the wardrobe and searched for the jacket. He soon found it and examined it a bit closer. He looked at the sleeves and then the pockets. In one of the pockets was a note. James picked it out and opened up the note. It was a simple document, regarding something about exploring the backrooms but one thing that caught his eye was a faded word. there were any faded sections but this one caught his eye. Next to the word was a to. This could mean that it used to have B's name on it. He flipped the page over but there was no imprint of his name. He looked at a logo that was on the page. 'M.E.G' it read on the bottom. James picked up his phone and searched for this 'M.E.G'.

'Major explorer group' read the first page about it. The group was founded in 1885. This group seems like it's been working for years. James then noticed a page talking about members. He opened it and searched the page for any members that fit B's description.

There was one, that had a picture of B, this one picture showed him with shorter hair and looked slightly less skinny. He looked at B's page but... Nothing. The page had a line saying B's job which was 'entity attack' which was just a researcher and a 'field agent' and how long he had been there but no Name, it was a secret. The page called him the 'backrooms explorer'. He looked through the page and noticed a line that caught his eye. 'Backrooms explorer's current status is unknown but he could be dead,' His heart sank. They thought he was dead. He dropped his phone, did they even search for him...

B was walking around the backrooms as he searched for an exit, he had been walking for a couple of hours and it had honestly tired him out, but he just brushed it off. He suddenly heard a shuffle. He sighed and knew what was about to happen, he pulled out a small pistol and held it out as he waited for the thing to reveal itself. The creature soon jumped out and charged at B. B was knocked to the floor due to the creature hitting his chest but he didn't react. He just sat up and held the pistol back up, but then

Blood splashed on the floor. B's eyes widened and he Instantly shot at the creature. The creature ran off and B looked for the source of the blood.

He looked down and saw blood flowing out from under his ribs. It had spilt down onto the floor and flowed out into it. B held his hand to the cut and got a better look. He could see a small glimpse of his rib cage. He froze and started to feel light-headed, not just because of the gruesome sight but the amount of blood he was losing. He leaned forward before suddenly fainting. Falling face first on the floor.

He woke up to a couple of people around him. They whispered to one another as they flipped over B and examined B's cut. They got a water bottle and poured it onto a cloth before folding it up and placing it on the cut. They then wrapped a bandage around it, gently lifting B's torso as they did so.
Most of the people looked very nauseous looking at the cut and some looked concerned.

Bs vision was still blurry and he couldn't speak suddenly. He just felt like he couldn't. The people then tried to pick up B. One threw B over their shoulder and started to walk to a colony. B's boots were dragging across the floor due to the person being slightly shorter than B.

They soon arrived at the Colony and one of the people called out. "Guys we have an injured man here, I think it might be backrooms explorer!" The person yelled. B felt himself grow nervous as he noticed the number of people, if he had to speak here it would be almost impossible. People's eyes shot over to B, who of was lying on one of the people's shoulders. Some of them rushed over and started to try and help out with B's cut.
B felt like he was going to pass out again, he felt extremely overwhelmed. At that moment be tried to think about James, as a way to cope.

They soon disinfected the cut leaned him against a wall. "Sir I think you should go to sleep," said one of the people, who was a tan-skinned man who wore a simple black hoodie. B nodded and tried to let himself drift off.
He soon fell asleep, his head dropped down as he let himself slip away.

He woke up a couple of hours later in a... Alleyway???
He looked to the side to see a door covered in different types of locks and probably impossible to open. He looked around and then stood up, dusting himself off and grabbing his bag. He then headed off to the nearest hospital he could find and walked into its A&E.
He walked up to the desk and tried to explain his situation but he decided to leave our major details and make up a story to not seem crazy. When they asked his name, he asked to leave it as John Doe, he explained why and then took a seat.
