Where It Begins (Apocalypse Twice & Itzy ff)

Prologue

Maybe coming here was the worst thing you have ever done in your whole life.

It was the worst mistake ever. Sometimes, you're questioning whether you really are a genius like what people said.

Because if you really are a genius, then you won't be here right now.

You watched as people turned against one another,killing and betraying is a new norm that is now a part of the human life to survive. They're willing to sacrifice their own families and friends just to survive.

You look at your trembling hands. Blood was dripping from your fingers and palms as it drips down to the ground.

What have you done to her?!

You turned to look at the young woman lifeless, bloody body. Her lifeless eyes look directly at your eyes. Her lifeless gaze was like accusing you of her death. Maybe... Maybe you did play a part in her death.

If... If only you didn't come here. You don't have to look at her death like this. People can call you selfish or anything. You won't give a damn of their words. Right now, you just wants to be far away from this hellhole. You didn't care if you had to beg. You would do it without thinking twice.

-Somewhere, Unknown Forest-

2.30 a.m. [24 hours before breakout]

The whole building turned upside-down as a loud siren rang throughout the building. An older guy in his late 50s wearing a lab coat rush through the hallways carrying a few test tubes with unknown substances inside his lab coat pockets. A sinister smile was tugging on his wrinkled face as he strolled along the hallways.

Scientists and securities ran past him. After all, no one would suspect someone among them would be a traitor.

"Dr. Lewis! Dr. Ambrose's research was stolen!" A woman's loud voice could be heard from a few room away as she rushed towards the head scientist, Dr. Lewis.

"Find whoever stole that test tubes!" Dr. Lewis ordered as all of them rushed towards the lab.

The older guy casually walked past them,blending among them as he made it out of the building. Successfully obtained his main quest, his revenge. He smiled wickedly as he shook one of the test tubes, watching the substance inside with pure satisfaction. His eyes gleam with excitement.

"Finally..." he murmured excitedly. "This what you get, Ambrose... Trying to steal my research,huh?" his smirked. He was overly excited for his revenge plan.

"Sir?" A younger guy with a lab coat called out to him,interrupting his daydreaming.

"Ah... Ky, my favourite apprentice. Do you want to be successful,boy?" he said as he looked at his apprentice.

"Excuse me,Sir? What?" The younger guy was taken aback by his mentor sudden words. He also feels weird seeing his mentor laughing and smiling by himself outside the building. How can his mentor,one of the lead scientists,here. Outside the building when it was a code red,an emergency inside the building? His eyes caught sight of the glistening substance inside the test tube in his mentor's hand. "Why are Dr. Ambrose's research in your hand, Sir?"

Hearing his apprentice's word makes him snap. "I'm disappointed in you, Ky... We could be successful together, but I guess you are still a kid,huh? A naive little fool!" The younger guy couldn't comprehend the situation when he suddenly felt a sting on his nape.

"What are you doing?! We don't even know what - "

"Why don't you have the honour to know about it first,boy?" The older guy snickers as he twists his apprentice's arm,dropping him to kneel on the ground. He steadied the syringe on his apprentice's nape as he injected him with the substance. "You shouldn't make me mad,boy..." The older guy kicks his apprentice away and makes his way towards his car.

"Now,run along... I have a flight to catch." he droves away, leaving his apprentice whimpering and groaning in pain on the ground. His eyes were turning red as his eyes' blood vessels burst inside his sclera. He tried to stand up as he got to warn the others about his mentor.

He was limping as he walked in an unusual stance. His whole body was turning purple-ish, blood drips down from his eyes,nose, and ears.

He managed to get to the lab where almost everyone who was working inside the building gathered together. He slammed on the button to open the sliding door. He stepped once or twice before falling to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Dr... He s-stole... test tubes..." his words were inaudible and slurs. They were dumbfounded by the scene, and none of the scientists inside could understand what he meant.

"Ky?!" his name was the last thing he heard before losing conscious and suddenly having seizures. His stiff body suddenly jerks a few times before he wakes up. With that, he totally turned into a cannibalism monster as he lunged at his co-worker. Biting and ripping them apart like beef jerkies,turning the whole lab into chaos.
