Who am I?

Ch: 7 ☕

POV: Amber

We run through the halls, the loud alarm piercing through our ears.

I hold Talia's hand, pulling her along, not wanting to leave her behind. This was her first emergency alarm in the lab and I didn't want her to be left behind.

The red-light blares through my eyes, as we run as fast as we could back to our cells.

Nyx is running in front of me, her white hair flying behind her in her hurry to get us all to safety.

I gulp. Like I told Talia, either this was a maintenance issue, or one of the high-class experiments, have escaped isolation. 

Suddenly, the hallway splits into four directions. Nyx immediately takes the right into Sector B, the cells.

But before we could go further, a scientist runs into us. 

"Out of the way!" she yells, pushing past us, running towards the source of the alarm.

Talia looks winded, but Nyx keeps running, and we struggle to keep up. Then I trip over something on the floor.

"NYX, WAIT!" Talia yells, while I struggle to stand up. I scream as I fall back down.

Nyx runs back to us. "Come on, hurry up!" Her eyes widen when she sees my ankle. 

"What happened?" she asks hurriedly. "I...I think I twisted my ankle." I say through gritted teeth, bearing through the pain.

"You tripped over yourself?" "N..no I..."

I turn around, glimpsing what caused me to trip, and I pointed to it, so Nyx and Talia, could find it.

It was a small metal box, with a big red button in its center. 

Nyx helps me up, putting my arm over her shoulder, while Talia heads over to the box, making a move to pick it up.

Nyx realizes what she's doing. "Talia, wait! We don't know what that is, don't touch it!" 

A pause.

"Talia, if it's something that scientist dropped, we'll be accused of stealing it!"

"B-but, if the scientist dropped this, may-maybe we should return it."

Then she moves forward and grabs the box, lifting it up.

Nothing happens.

"See? Now let's go take this to the scientist."

Nyx steps in front of Talia, while still helping me, preventing her from going back where we came from.

"Talia, I think we should put that back down and return to our cells. It's not safe for us if they see us holding one of their belongings."

Talia opens her mouth to answer, but then her finger slips over the red button, pressing down on it.

The ground shudders, and sparks kindle in the air.

"What the-" I breath.

Then, a loud explosion sounds, throwing us all back. We struggle to stand up.

We gasp in fright. There in front of us, was a large blue wormhole, with nothing but blackness inside.

Sparks dancing off around it, the ground still shaking.

Then, we start getting pulled towards it.

"HELP, SOMEONE HELP US!" I shriek, as we're pulled into the wormhole. I see scientists running towards us, waving their hands in the air trying to get us to stop, but we couldn't. 

The last thing I saw before being pulled in, was Nyx and Talia next to me, getting sucked in as well.

Their screams forever echoing in my ears.
