Zalien Invazion

71

Liam reenters the building, despite the strong feeling of his common sense telling him to turn around and go back to Zayn
He walks around for what seemed like hours, just searching, trying to find someone.
Of course no one was around. When he was avoiding them, this place was crawling with guards and people getting in his way. Now that he was looking for them, he can't find anyone.
He finally spots someone wearing a white lab coat hunched in front of a computer and frantically trying on the keyboard.
Silently, Liam approaches The pudgy old man with wiry glasses and a gross mustache that hung limply under his nose. He seemed like an easy victim that wouldn't put up to much of a struggle. He would have to do....
Liam steps out from his hiding place and stands in plain sight.
"Stand up where you are. Don't turn around," Liam commands in the most authoritative and threatening voice he can. Immediately, the scientist freezes, glancing behind himself.
"I said don't turn around!!" Liam orders frustratedly.
"I have a gun. And I will use it. Walk," Liam commands as he holds the small gun he had found earlier up to the back of the mans head.
Fearing for his life, the scientist obeys and slowly walks forward with some 'encouragement' from Liam and his small weapon.
"How did you get here?" The man asks as Liam directs him toward the outside.
"That's none of your business," Liam replies harshly as he pushes the man forward.
"What are we doing out here?" The man asks as Liam suddenly stops.
"You will fix him," Liam commands as he gestures toward Zayn who was lying rigidly on the hard floor looking worse and worse with each passing second as the life drains out of him. The man laughs and glances up at Liam.
"What makes you think I can 'fix him'?" He challenges.
"You fucking did this to him!!! You should be able to undo it!!" Liam yells.
"I am not the only one responsible for this endeavor of science. There are many others involved. Tell me: do you plan to kill us all?" The old man challenges.
"If I have to;" Liam nods determinedly. "But I am not leaving here and you are not leaving here until he is okay," Liam tells the man again.
        "I have no inclination to help this... This Thing," the man says boredly.
"If you do not help him, he will die. Because of you. And if he dies....." Liam trails off with a slightly insane-sounding laugh as he glances at Zayn's body. "I will personally see to it that your life becomes a living hell. Or what little bit of a life you have left!!," he finishes. The man swallows hard but sticks his chest out cockily.
"There's nothing I can do," the old man shrugs with a smirk on his wrinkly face.
"Funny. because right now There is nothing holding me back from putting a fucking bullet in your worthless head," Liam spits angrily as he steps closer to the man.
"You wouldn't shoot me," the man says bravely as he narrows his eyes at Liam.
"Try me," Liam says as he holds his arm out, pressing the cold metal tip of the gun to the mans bald head. His eyes widen slightly when he sees the rage and determination in Liam's chocolate brown eyes.
"You will fix him. Or I will put this bullet in your brain," Liam says slowly so the scientist catches every word.
"I don't believe you. I can see it. You want to save this.... Disgusting creature, but you won't kill me," the man says calmly.
"You're right," Liam agrees, biting his tongue and trying to control his anger as best he could. "I don't want to kill you. But I will," Liam tells him. "You're expendable to me. If you don't do what I want, there's a whole building full of scientists just like you who I could use and I'm sure at least one of them wants to keep their sad pathetic life and do as I say," Liam tells the man coldly. The man grunts in amusement and shakes his head.
      "Out of curiosity, what is it driving you forward so strongly that you would threaten someone so severely to take their life?" The man asks in amusement.
"I love this man more than anything," Liam replies quickly. "and I will do whatever possible to save him. Even if it means I have to murder some sick bastard to find a cure," Liam explains as he glances down at Zayn's lifeless limp body.
"There is no cure," the scientist shares as if it wasn't a big deal.
"No. No! There has to be!!" Liam demands hopelessly, suddenly loosing his demanding, dominant attitude.
"I'm sorry. We did not make an antidote to reverse the wounds. We got what we needed and we have no further use for this monster. It is not human and It's life does not matter to us so why create a cure for something so useless?" The man proposes with an evil smirk.
"Good question. You're a smart man. Create one now," Liam commands.
"I can't just make one up on the spot! It takes decades to perfect or even-" the scientist is cut off by a clicking sound as Liam sets a bullet into the chamber of the gun. He stares the man down with a burning look of fury and fierce Hatred that the man cannot ignore.
"I'm getting really tired of hearing you talk..." Liam tells him roughly.
"There may be something I can do...." The scientist finally sighs, surrendering himself to help Liam.
"And don't try anything or I swear to god I will kill you before you can even speak," Liam commands as he follows the man back inside the building. He leads Liam downstairs to a laboratory where he quickly gets to work mixing medicines and strangely colored liquids until he finally creates a thick light-purple substance. He pours it into a glass vile and hands it to Liam.
"That's it??" Liam asks in shock.
"Yes. This will do," the scientist says unhappily. Liam nods in satisfaction then grabs a long white plastic tie.
Using his size and strength, Liam over powers the man and forces his arms behind his back. He ties the scientist to the leg of the table so he cannot escape and expose Liam.
"From the bottom of my heart, I truly thank you," Liam says as he picks up the glass with a huge proud smirk.
Realizing he still had the gun tucked in his waistband, Liam tosses it aside.
     BHad he actually just threatened to murder somebody??
Liam shakes his head and tries to push that disturbing thought from his mind as he runs as fast as he can back through the building to get to Zayn's hiding spot on the outside. He had to get to Zayn before it was too late.
"Here baby. Please. Drink this," Liam pleads as he bends down and holds the glass to Zayn's pale lips. Zayn doesn't respond and his head lulls lazily to the side and he moans softly.
"Please baby Zayn please... Just.... Please," Liam begs as he holds Zayn's head in his lap, trying to force him to swallow the liquid that should help him.
Suddenly, Liam hears heavy footsteps and he knows they're in trouble again.
"Zayn..." He whispers longingly. But it was too late. They would soon be found out.
Thinking quickly, Liam sticks the glass vile in his pocket and lifts Zayn into his arms. He almost drops him because he wasn't expecting the heaviness. Zayn didn't weigh that much and Liam could always pick him up with such ease. So how was he so heavy all of sudden especially since he looked so unnaturally skinny??
But whatever. It doesn't matter.
     Liam takes off at a sprint, running even faster than before. He didn't know where he was going, but all he knew was he had to get Zayn as far away from this place as he could.

I think it's funny how almost 400 people have read the first chapter of this but only like 50 people have actually consistently read it

But anyway I wrote most of this chapter in one of my classes today cuz we had a sub and as long as we were quiet and didn't do anything bad he didn't care what we did.
