Chapter 3: What do I do Now?

You were running for some time now. You slowed down your pace as you came to a stop catching your breath. You rested on your hands that are on your knees stooping down. This run is literately the most longest yet hardest run you have ever done for your life. 

"Well, crap." You wheeze between each gasp for breath. "I guess that I not.....the most experience....nor the best runner, but at least I made it through." You finally catch the breath you need for a while, and something important suddenly hit you in your mind.

"What do I do now?" You questioned yourself. You look down at your hospital gown and the area, you're in. "I can't be seen wearing this it will tell that I'm from a hospital possibly to back o that place or go to another damn hospital and.....WHerE tHE HELL Am I !?!" And with that sudden outburst of a voice startled a flock of birds to fly off. You looked up to the birds that are now flying smoothly in the sky.  

'Even though I'm free...' You thought to yourself. The birds start to drift off further to who knows elsewhere. '...Does not mean I'm truly free.'

You felt a pang of heaviness in your chest. You grip onto your hospital gown near your chest where that heaviness weights. You still felt captive somewhere. "This is not what I want this escape to feel like." You murmured disappointed.

That escape was just pure luck like the God or who knows if there's a God wants to give you another chance to live like an average person. Hell, as if you're average. You push that weight aside though it still stays keeping you down.

'Well, I guess first things first, find clothes to replace this hella gown.' A thought came to mind. 'But how the hell you're going to get new clothes, without being suspicious to others?'  Another thought replied. You think and think a way to do such a thing until you have created yourself a headache.

You let out a groan gripping and pulling your hair in frustration. You can't steal in a store like you use to do when you're younger without the stupid gown to being noticed first. Nor can you try to knock someone out to steal their clothes since a witness may have spotted you and as if there's likely someone walking in the woods. Why would someone walk in the woods near a mental hospital!

You were on edge to planning a way to get clothes that it just doesn't seem to matter to you anymore the more you think about it. Then a grumble just came through out of the blue. You froze taking a look around for creatures that may be lurking in your surroundings. There was nothing, but bugs that are trying to bite you. You swatted and slapped your arms killing a few mosquitoes. 

You take another scan. The grumble came again. You realized it's coming from your stomach as you felt the rumble on your belly. You glared at it. "Why am I hungry out of all moments during my escape!" You growled. The stomach growled back as if it's talking to you.

You gave yourself a punch in the stomach to maintain it. As you stormed off being pissed. You weren't so bothered by the pain on your feet caused by burrs and sharp rocks giving you wounds on your feet. 

It has been hours who knows how much has passed. But one of the things you know is the day is getting late. The colors of the sky changed from light blue to this mixture of shades of pink, red, and yellow. It turns out to be rather beautiful to you since it has been too long that you were in that horrid hospital where there is no such thing as windows on the building. Only labyrinths of halls and walls with wooden or metal doors as cameras on every corner is keeping watch for escapers to be thrown back into their room.

It's almost as if there's no escape to many, but there is a way. No there are ways to escape. It's just that the number of employees is rather low and there are plenty of fools to slip a key or key card from them and hid it in sometime surprisingly unchecked places like a not often used trashcan or in a drawer not used also.

Well there's no need to think about that anymore now that you have escaped. You stopped in an instant when you hear a sound. The sound kept pass and coming by in an unorganized way. It took some moment to detect what the noise is to realized that it was the sound of passing cars.

And not only that nightfall is coming. You found the road that was now empty but stays hidden in the woods from being spotted as you follow along with the streets.

"Strange... I thought something is going to happen, but it didn't........"

".............................................................................."

"Strange, the feeling has passed by for some reason..."

The fire monster said to himself as he looked around the building. He could have sworn there is something off somewhere around this building. Even so but nothing happen....yet. The owner of Grillby's didn't put his guard down walking to the back going home for it was an early close on the shop.

He closed the back door locking it just as he got out of the restaurant. Grillby started relaxed his tension of uneasiness walking off. He heard a thump along with glass bottles knocked over.

He quickly turned back now this time in defense. His flames brighten more violently. He sees nothing in sight. The sound he heard must have come from behind the other side of the dumpster. He crept slowly with caution to find what's the cause of the noise. With each step, he slowly starts to get a visual of the cause.

When he entirely sees the thing that caused the noise surprised him.
