The Beginning of the End (EDITING)

Chapter 18 - Dr. Newport

HI. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY LACK OF UPDATES. School has to come first and then this. I'm also a really good procrastinator so yes. I love you all and please enjoy.

"Who the hell are you?" Scott snapped, his eyes narrowing as he came over to stand close to Demi and I.

The stranger let out a low chuckle and the mirror became nothing more than a reflective surface again and for moments the silence swallowed everything. Then just as we thought the mystery man had gone, the mirror completely faded out to reveal a room with a tall man in a lab coat. I could vaguely see others behind him, talking quietly to one another in hushed tones before the man in the lab coat pushed a button next to the two-way mirror.

"I am Dr. Martin Newport, I am the head doctor here at St. Mary's. You know who I am now please, tell me your names." He finished speaking and I stood up on shaky legs, moving to stand slightly behind Scott.

"I'm Amy, this is my friend Demi and her brother Scott. We-" I was interrupted when a loud gun shot rang out from somewhere behind me and I yelped, turning around to face the closed door.

Scott wrapped his fingers around my wrist and yelled out at the doctor.

"What the hell is that? Who's shooting?"

Demi covered her ears as the shooting continued and turned back around toward the mirror as Dr. Newport answered.

"Ah, not to worry. My men are clearing out the hallway so you can safely get to my quarters. Are you alone here children?" He asked with an incline of his head.

Demi was about to answer with a 'no', remembering Jen and Connor when Scott abruptly replied with a 'yes'.

I looked up at him curiously and noticed the tick in his jaw. He didn't trust this man or his any of these people.

Dr. Newport narrowed his eyes at us, an eerie smile curling on his lips as if he knew something up. I kept eye contact with him so as not to raise suspicion. This was so much more than we thought.

"Why, may I ask, are you here?" Dr. Newport inquired, tilting his head to the side. He had long brown hair, at least four inches passed his shoulders and it was stick straight. It fell slightly into his dark brown eyes with his head tilt and a chill ran down my spine. His eyes were extremely dark.

"Medicine. We came here for medicine. You never know when you might have need for it out here in this chaos." Scott answered curtly.

Suddenly the door jerked open behind us and four men in dark uniform carrying large guns stepped into the room. The first one roughly grabbed my upper arm and yanked me toward him and I cried out as my wrist was jerked from Scott's grip. Scott jerked against the one that grabbed him and struggled even harder when another grabbed his sister. Demi yelled out Scott's name when the guard that grabbed her pulled out a syringe.

"Don't hurt them and children, please remain calm. This is only a precaution." Dr. Newport assured over the madness.

I was pulled into the hallway, my eyes flying over the bodies of the dead that littered the floor. Seconds later a stinging pain sizzled in my neck and tears burned the backs of my eyes.

"Scott! Scott it burns.." I murmured, my voice fading out as my ears began to ring.

"Amy! Amy don't close your eyes! Stay awa-" Scott's yelling finally diminished as my eyes closed and darkness took over my senses.

My mouth was dry and my head throbbed with a headache. I couldn't feel my left hand but I think I might have been lying on top of it.
