Genesis Chapter 6

"Here we are," Leo says. After traveling for about 20 minutes, we managed to find ourselves at a hospital. It is pretty tall and wide, and the windows are busted.

There was some plants like vines growing, but it wasn't too much. Taurus is looking at the building up and down,"Okay, we're is the girl?," she asks Leo.

Leo points into the building,"She's on the second floor, don't worry I got the elevators working good.
_________________________
I thought the elevator would break, but I thought wrong. The elevator works fine, the elevator dings as we finally get to the second floor.

The door opens, and there is no signs of death or any type of catastrophe. We all get out the elevator and it closes back up. The hallway is clean but the window at the end of the left side is busted and blowing cool air through.

Taurus looks at both directions,"This place is awfully clean, but the outside is a mess," she says to Leo suspiciously. Leo looks at her, his eyes gleaming a little bit.

"Yeah, I had to. I didn't want to stay in a place filled with dead bodies, so I moved every one I could find and put them in the morgue down in the basement," Leo says quietly.

Taurus nods,"I understand." "She's this way," Leo says as he starts walking to the right. We follow behind. Leo takes at least 15 steps before stopping at a door.

The door has a name on it, it reads, Victoria. "Her name is Victoria?," I ask. "Yes, but I call her Virgo," Leo says. Leo takes some keys out from his pocket, and puts one in.

The door opens with a loud creaking, I keep thinking that someone would hear. But I forgot the bodies are all in the morgue basement.

The door is wide open, and I could hear beeping on a monitor. We step right in, and Taurus stands wide eyed. In the bed, is a girl who looks younger than me, in a coma. She has a night gown on, and her hair is long and wavy and it's a unnatural dark grey color.

Breathing tubes are hooked up to her, and there is a bag of clear liquid. I'm guessing that's her nutrition. She's skinny but is plump in certain areas.

Victoria, or Virgo, is silently looking peaceful. No blood on her, she is very clean. Her monitor is showing a steady but low heartbeat, it makes me feel bad for her. Imagine when if she ever wakes up, and everything is gone.

Leo walks over to her, and grabs her hand to check her pulse. Taurus finds a seat and sits close to the big broken window that is blowing a soft breeze in the room.

I go over to her and look outside, carful not to step or touch broken glass. The sky is covered in gray clouds, but it doesn't look like it's gonna rain.

"She has a heartbeat, but it's low," Leo says sadly. I sit in another chair next to Taurus,"How long have you been taking care of her?," I ask.

Leo sighs and shakes his head,"Probably well over some weeks, maybe. I don't keep track of time no more," he says.

Taurus looks at her feet,"So like you do everything for her? Feed her, bath her..." Leo puts his hands through his hair,"Yeah, of course I don't bath her. Just give her the nutritions, so if she does wake up. She smells."

I sniff the hair and gag,"If anything the decomposing bodies will overwhelm her smell," I say. Leo smiles, but it's a sad one.

"How old is she?," Taurus says. "Well, her birthday is on September 5, 2212. So I'm assuming she's at least 16," Leo says. Taurus looks like she's calculating in her head,"16 years, than she 17 this year. Yeah that sounds about right," she says.

"You guys might be hungry," Leo says. Taurus nods,"Yeah, you have anything to eat?," I ask. "Yeah let's go," Leo says.
We follow him out the door. "Skylar...," I hear someone call my name.

I turn to the window on the left, and nothing. I get a chill down my spine, and hurry with Taurus and Leo.
