"Come on, let's find Sam." She said, but I was in a slight daze--so much blood--I was beginning to get hungry again.
I silently cursed my large stomach and kept moving towards the storage room I had hide Sam in the night before. "This way." I said taking the lead from Mary. She walked silently behind me.
We walked down the small white hallways all the while I was trying to ignore the blood--there was so much splattered across the walls--down the hall on the chairs on the computer equipment. How could my Sam had done this? There was just no way. On the other hand--look what I had done. Maybe he had been out of control like I had been the night before. Maybe--I hoped at least. I couldn't bare the thought that my Sam--the same Sam that I had almost kissed the night before had done something as evil as this. There was so much blood--there must have been at least a hundred people dead--but where were the bodies?
Bloodly hand prints covered the walls and even the ceiling which I thought was strange. "Oh god." I said feeling my stomach make a "growling" noise.
We continued down the hall until we made it to the stair case. It looked more like a bloody water slid then a stair case. There were claw marks on the walls going down into the basement--I gulped. How could he have done all this?
Being careful not to slip in the mess--me and Mary made our way down. I touched the claw marks thinking about the horrible fate that person had suffered--thinking about how teffirying it would have been to be pulled screaming into a small dark basement of all places to bleed out into another humans mouth. I shuttered at the thought and continued my decent into the madness that was my life.
"Sam?" I called into the darkness when my feet finally touched the dirt floor.
There was no reply--but Mary made a "shushing" motion with her hand and I abbayed. Slowly she walked forward.
I was hungry--so as a result my eye sight was going as it had before. The darkness was like a thick mist--impossible to see what lies ahead. Finally, however I herd a small squeak--and a familiar voice that came after it.
"Don't come any closer." It warned.
"Sam, it's ok." I said moving forward into the darkness.
"No----" He stuttered, "I-I could hurt you." He was crying--I could tell this even without seeing him.
"You won't hurt me." I said, still moving forward and finally feeling him in front of me--he was wet--really wet and I knew with what. I didn't mind though--I pulled him into me for a hug. He didn't reject it--but he didn't really except it either. "I hurt you once--you remember?" I said implying about the fact that I had latterly killed him.
He let a chuckle pass his lips--but It was a painful chuckle with no light-heartedness to it.
Mary finally pipped up, "well....all baby Takers do this at least once....usually on a smaller scale....but you know." She laughed.
"Who's there?" Sam asked the darkness. He stepped in front of me--my protector--this made me blush and feel lucky it was too dark for him to see my face.
"Down boy." Mary said, "I'm Dim's mother."
