In The End (Book 1)

Continued 2

   I sidestepped to the right as he flew past me. I kicked him in the back of the leg with my left foot as he tumbled to the ground. I lunged down upon him, tilting the helmet forward so I could see the back of his neck...Then I screamed as I shoved the glass shard through the back of his neck, then pulled it out, it covered in blood. I turned around once again.

" Let's go!"???

   All of the men then just full out sprinted for me. How on Earth was I gonna pull this off? I looked over to my left at the chair. I jumped on top of the chair then jumped over to the vent, grabbing on with my hands, my feet planted firmly against the wall.
   I was practically all ready out of time when I was there but I had to try. I pulled myself halfway into the vent before history repeated itself. I felt a hand grab my right foot. I felt myself being yanked out so I put up a fight. I clawed my way forwards pulling myself further into the dark vent. I felt the guy's hand go from around my foot to around my leg.
*Sigh* I kicked his hand as hard as I could feeling the sweet release of freedom. But I wasn't in the clear yet. I pulled myself a bit further in untill a hand got ahold of my foot. I yanked my foot into the vent, I was missing a shoe. I crawled along the dark vent as quickly as I possibly could hearing the sound of the guy's yelling and stuff. I crawled down the straight stretch untill I came upon a fork in the vent. I quickly made up my mind to go left.
   I crawled along the vent further along untill it was almost pitch black. Then I felt something, it was cold and surrounded my body, it made my hair blow...I felt wind! Wind! I raced down the tunnel so happy to be free. I moved along so- all the sudden the feeling of security left me as the ground seemed to collapse into total blackness. I hit the left side of my forehead on something hard before falling again, then it was all over.
   I laid there staring at the bottom of the vent, rays of light hitting me. I looked ahead of me to see a circular fan type of door. I reached in front of me and pushed, a gust of cold wind hit my face as it cracked open. I moved my hand away as it shut once again. I pushed myself up onto my knees and crawled for the exit, I pushed it open and slid out, rolling out and collapsing onto the ground. I stood up and stared to my left at the wall. It made an L shape, me standing at the bottom of that L.
   What had I hit? I pushed myself up onto my feet and turned around and stared at a wind tunnel...A fan...I hit a fan. I shivered at the thought of how that would have went had it have been on. I reached up and touched my forehead.

"Ngh!" I winced as I pulled my hand away to see my fingers covered in blood."well shoot" I murmured.

  Where was Larry? I. Couldn't remember! Wait...he ran off into the lobby. I didn't hear any gun shots though...God I hope he survived that.

   I stared ahead of me at the edge of the city, at a fucking wall...A wall. The hospital was somewhere behind the wall wasn't it? I-I- yea it was.

"Rrgh No!" I yelled out in frustration!

"Hey kiddo, you okay?"Larry asked as he appeared from around the left outstretched wall.

"No we don't have anything! The hospital is on the outer perimeter!" I yelled.

"Here" he said and reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag and tossed it to me.

   I caught the bag and stared at the several bottles of meds.

"You got them...You actually got them!" I yelled and ran over and hugged him"thank you"

"Heh, whatever I can do to help, now let's get out of here." He said

"I'm not gonna argue"I agreed"there's an exit"I said pointing to a huge gate across the road aways to our left."no one's around us, let's make a sprint for it"

"You lead and I'll follow" Larry said."also here I picked this up earlier, thought it could come in handy" Larry said while pulling out a 9 mm pistol and handed it to me.
