Hunger of Killing

Chapter-6 The Quarters

The Quarters

I patiently wait on the front door of my grandmother's house. After a few minutes the door opens and my grandmother greets me with a wide smile. She's holding a book with her right hand and a cup of coffee on her left hand.

"Juliette! What a nice surprise, come on in."

"Have a seat while I make you some tea"

I decide to look around and check if i can find something. The living room is small and the furniture doesn't match togther. I go into my grandmother's room and i find nothing at all. Her room is quite simple. 

I slowly sit on the sofa and stare at the television. That's when I realize that my grandmother has been watching the news and she knows that I ran away. I carefully walk to the kitchen and try to listen to her conversation on the phone.

"She's here, what do you want me to do now?" she whispers into the phone.

I don't know if I could trust my grandmother anymore after all I'm not sure that she would give me answers if she had any. I consider sneaking out of the house but where am I supposed to go?

All of a sudden a huge hand hovers over my mouth and covers it ,I ultimatley freak out.

"Don't move!"  The stranger says.

Another stranger faces me and ties my wrists together. He's wearing mirror sunglasses and black sweater with black jeans. They cover my eyes and I can only here my grandmother scream my name for help but there's nothing that I can do. I stop trying as they push me into a car.

"We've caught them sir."

Who are "them"? I thought I'm the only one whom they want. Have they caught my grandmother?

The ride takes longer than I expected. I undesirably fall asleep and when I wake up I am not in the car anymore. I open my eyes and feel the cold ground underneath my body. I look around but, I find nothing other than boring walls and the solid ground. The room is so huge, two bedrooms can fit. I turn around and try to find a door but there is literally no way of escaping. I sit at the corner of the room and stare at the ceiling. My eye catches a shadow passing by I get up to have a better look and unexpectedly a square part of the ceiling drops open. I freak out. A big black bag falls down, the ceiling quickly closes. I stare at the black bag and I wonder if there's food in there. I walk closer and closer. I slowly open the zipper and when I look inside there's a body! I jump up in fear; I start to wonder if he or she is dead.

"What happened? Where am I?"

The voice sounds familiar.

"Kenny?"

He is now in a sitting position, He's facing the wall and he says nothing.

I go nearer to him, but he quickly gets up.

"Why are you here? Am I not the only one wanted?" I ask.

"There's something that you should know, I'm different too." He says.

"What are you talking about? I haven't seen you killing anyone before."

"No, that's not what I meant. Think about it Juliette, you've never felt the urge to kill me, and my blood heals you!"

That was not what I wanted to hear. This can't get any weirder, but it does. When he turns to face me his face has a really big scar it runs across his face.

"Juliette I need your help" I've never seen anyone weaker before.

"Why would I help you?" I boldly say.

"Because if you don't then I will die"

The word makes me shiver.

"….And it will be your entire fault! You will be a killer; you will be responsible about my death!" He says.

"Alright, alright what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to run as fast as you can through the wall on your right."

"What?! Are you crazy?" I exclaim.

"Please Juliette, I don't want to die."

I sigh and get my feet ready to run as fast as I can.

"Wait, take this paper it's a map of the headquarters you have to go to the lab and find the E115 hurry up please"

I nod, and then start running straight through the wall.It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I realize that I have escaped the dark cold room. It takes me several minutes to understand the map and then I start my way to the elevator. I'm already regretting my approval for this mission. I nervously wait for the elevator, and when it arrives to the ground floor a man comes out, he doesn't realize that I am who I am. I quickly enter the elevator and hit the number "3". I follow the map and it takes me to my destination. The door of the Lab needs an access code to be opened.

"…She's gone sir"

"What!?! You can't even manage a young teenager!"

I quickly hide behind the trash bin. The man angrily types in the code. I memorize it and try not to forgt any number . *830614*. I decide to wait for the man to come out. He comes out faster than I thought he would.

"This boy never learns does he?"

Their voices fade away and I know that time is running out. I quickly type in the pass code. When I go in, I find shelves and more shelves full of mdicines and wird looking liquids. 

"This is impossible" I say to myself. Even if i do find the E115, Will I be able to reach on time? Will Kenny still be alive?
