Chapter 7
Is it too late?
The bottle is the size of a battery it’s green with white tiny creatures floating in the liquid, the E115 is unique it’s the only one out of all those drugs and I found it! I step closer to the shelf and move my hand slowly towards the bottle but unexpectedly a hand snatches the bottle from the opposite side of the shelf.
“Oh no, give me that back!”
I hurry and turn to the other side of the shelf hoping to find the person who took it, but unfortunately there’s no luck. I bend on my knees and the thought of Kenny dying because of me makes me want to cry a river!
*The door unlocks*
I get up as fast as I could and vanish behind those high shelves which are so close to touching the ceiling.
“I warned you! You didn’t listen to me and now you must pay for not following my orders. Now let’s see what have we got here.”
His footsteps come closer and closer. I hold my breath for as long as I can, the footsteps stop and the place gets so silent I can almost hear my heart beating.
“Here you are!”He clutches his hand tightly on the back of my shirt and pulls me out of my safe space.
“You know something… you’re a smart girl, but not smart enough.”
“Leave me alone!”I scream, and try to set myself free from his strong hand.
“You think I would leave a young, beautiful and strong girl to go back and get herself killed by the police!”
When I hear what he says I stop resisting.
“Juliette, don’t believe him he’s lying! The police would never kill you!” Kenny says as he suffers from the pain and that’s when I see how horrible his face looks like. The man pushes me to the corner beside Kenny and ties both my hands to the leg of a shelf.
“Now sweet heart wait here until I call Dr. Grant.” He walks to the phone on the table which is a few meters from where he left me.
“Who the hell is Dr. Grant?”I whisper to Kenny.
“How am I supposed to know!”
“What about this guy, do you know him? and what does he want from me?”I say in the smallest voice that I could.
“This guy is George. He is the boss of this place and he wants your blood to add it to his collection of medicines, he believes that your blood could be useful”Kenny says in a much louder voice than mine.
“Then why don’t I just give him my blood?”
“Well… If you do you will just die in a few hours.”
I can’t help it. I’ve got too many questions to ask, but too little time for answers.
“How do you know?”
“There’s no time for this now. Have you got the E115?”
“Umm…”
Kenny has that disappointed face on him and it makes me feel so guilty. Suddenly a tall black figure jumps right between me and Kenny. He’s wearing a full black outfit and his mouth is covered with a black mask so that you can only see his eyes. I gasp loudly.
The mysterious guy unties the tight rope from my hands and then quickly unties Kenny’s. He’s so fast it’s unbelievable. George returns from his call at the perfect time when the mysterious guy disappears. I keep my hands in the same position. When I look at Kenny I almost think he’s dead.
“Looks like you will never save anyone’s life, Juliette. Your life is over you will never be a normal teenager again. you will be a killer for the rest of your….”
The mysterious guy appears from behind George and pushes a dagger right through his back. I quickly get up and try to help Kenny up on his feet. The door opens unexpectedly and Dr. Grant comes in rushing.
“Kenny! Come on!”
“I’m in too much pain I can’t walk…”
“Don’t move!”Dr. Grant warns.
Before I know it I’m out of that room, actually out of the building. It’s dark and the only light that I can see is the moonlight. I look around for Kenny or that mysterious guy who was saving us for some reason.
“Kenny?” I scream into the dark night and I hear nothing but my echo repeating and repeating.
“Kenny couldn’t have lived, I’m sorry”The mysterious guy says
“YOU JUST LEFT HIM IN THAT BUILDING?!”I exclaim.
“He was weak he would’ve died, you’re welcome for saving your life”
“NO! We have to go back please tell me where he is.”
He gets up and that’s when I can make out where he was sitting.
“I’m sorry we are already miles and miles away.”
“WHAT! ARE YOUD FRICKING KIDDING ME? THAT WAS LIKE A MILISECOND!”
“Yes if you haven’t realized I’ve got speed power.”
I calm my nerves down and sit on the black rock.
“What’s your name?”I desperately ask.
“Jake”
“I’m Juliette”
“I know”
I don’t bother to ask him how he knows my name. I’m too tired of finding out answers I even lost track of days. All I could think of is how I had the chance of saving a life and I just lost it. It wasn’t any life, it was Kenny’s life. He could’ve been alive now. I rest against a tree and slowly close my eyes.
