Kingdoms Fate

Part 3

"Tori?!?" I screamed, waking up the whole dorm. I got up so fast I didn't even think about how I looked, I needed to find Tori.

Me and some others went looking for Tori, but every time we turned around, one person was always missing. This was starting to get creepy, had someone broken into the facility? It couldn't be possible, this is a high security building. I heard screaming, and it sounded like Tori, it was coming from the upstairs headquarters.

I scrambled around looking for a stairwell, making sure to look around corners before I go, so I don't risk getting taken too. I eventually found a staircase, making sure nobody was behind me. The headquarters room door appeared into my view, but every time I tugged on the door, someone was stepping closer to the door, it was very loud foot steps. I hid around the corner, so if someone was there, they couldn't see me right away.

I heard Tori screaming more, the footsteps getting more distant from the door. I found something to pick the lock, and I eventually got in. The guy in there was very large, more broad. His face was covered, so I couldn't see what he looked like, but he was standing near Tori while she was tied to the chairs. The other's weren't in here, but that's not my main focus right now. There are many guards around Tori, so I don't know how to get to her, but the guards were distracted. This was my time.

I dashed towards Tori, and she looked at me with relieved eyes. The guards didn't see us until we left so we made an escape.

We ran towards the dorms as quickly as possible, and Tori breathing harder every step, she must not really be a runner...

"What the fuck happened...I swear to God I passed out and woke up there." Tori said, shivering.

I gave her a huge hug, calming her down. We were safe now, in our room.

I looked her in the eyes carefully as she cried. "Its okay Tori, I promise. We're alright now."

"Are you sure...what about the others?" she said.

I didn't even think about the others. I completely forgot. I only really wanted to save her.

I wanted to say I sorta liked her...but we just met. It can't be possible. We literally just met. But whatever I'm too tired.

"Its okay for now. We can look for them later." I said calmly.

Tori came onto my bed and laid next to me, hugging me as tight as possible. After that she moved back onto her bed and went to sleep pretty quickly.

I woke up and Tori was gone, I figured she went to eat or something, but the food is here...so maybe the bathroom? I don't know honestly. I wanted to go back to sleep but I couldn't, so I just got up and went to take a shower.

"Someone's finally awake" Tori said from behind me.

Her mood changed offly quick from last night to now. Now she's making it feel like a dream.

"Its 9 am, you know, a normal time to get up." I said annoyed.

Tori rolled her eyes "someone came back with quite the attitude."

I rolled my eyes back, and went to take the shower I had planned before she came out of who the fuck knows where.

I got out of the shower and dried my hair off.

"Starry?? Everyone is gone. I hear screaming, hurry up we need to find them." Tori said while trying not to freak out.

"What? Alright..?" I said confused.

I put on my normal clothes as quickly as possible and followed Tori out the door. It had been freezing over night, now it's boiling hot. I regret wearing such warm clothes. I heard screaming in the distance, which completely interrupted my train of thought.

I looked around, Tori was gone. I swear I didn't move, did I zone out? I feel something grabbing me.

"Please don't tell me this is what I think is-" I thought but my mind went blank after I felt a needle stabbed into my back.

I woke up in a lab, and I saw the others. They were completely out of it. I was so confused as to what was happening, because I felt just as confused as everyone else. Where the fuck am I?

"Well well, look who finally woke up!" Said a voice from behind me.

Ernie. The stupid guy who runs this sick ass place. But why?

"You saved your little friend Tori, hm? Well now she can't save you." He points to his left, Tori had been placed on a tube with some acid, and she was unconscious.

"What the hell did you do to her?!" I said, panicking.

He didn't say anything, he just laughed for a minute. "Don't worry Starry, she'll be fine. We thought we might do something different this year when we got a 14 year old in the system..to really test your braveness perhaps? You were certainly brave enough to save Tori from a hugh security room. But you can't do anything now, can you?"

This guy made me so pissed off. What was his problem? Just because a 14 year old comes into the system, doesn't mean they have to suddenly do this. He sat across the room staring at all of us like he's some lunatic, well, he was, but you know what I mean.

I noticed not everyone was here. Maybe some had escaped? Which I have no clue how they would've done because we can't even move because of electricity wires.

I hear a loud crash behind me, I look around, and Tori's container was broken open, acid spilling all over the floor, the door was broken down.

What was that...?
