Gravity

-----7-----

EVA AND CAMERON managed to find a doctor in a building across the road from the mall. A private clinic. Doctor Garfield wasn't a emergency room doctor or a brain surgeon. He was in fact a veterinarian, and a good one. 'Put her on the table now!' He yelled at Cameron as he started sterilizing some of the tools and put on a pair of gloves and a mask. Cameron held onto Eva tightly and put her onto the table.

Garfield sprayed something on her wound which made her wince in pain. 'It hurts like a bi...'

'No vulgarities here Miss Blair.' He interrupted as he put the string into the needle. Cameron sat at the side and watched as the Doctor stuck a needle into her arm and a wave of relief swam over Eva. 'Ok Miss Blair, I'm going to stitch you up now. ' He stuck the needle into her side and pushed her ribcage back into her body. Eva didn't even flinch but Cameron felt his stomach churn. After what seemed like ages, Eva's side was patched up.

Garfield had also fixed up Cameron broken fingers and now both were as good as a person could be after the world had managed to lose its gravity temporarily. 'So.. Doctor Garfield, what are you planning to do? I mean... business will never be the same will it?'

'You're right Mr Tanner. It will never be the same.' Garfield replied. 'So what are you implying Mr Tanner.'

'Well...' Cameron began, 'A Doctor with us always would be a privilege...'

Doctor Garfield laughed as he spoke,'You think I'm a doctor?! I'm not even a veterinarian!' Cameron looked at him confused. 'Wh..what are you talking about?'

Doctor Garfield reached behind and grabbed a needle of the table. 'I know your little secret Mr Tanner. Your no ordinary teenage boy are you?My dear Mr Tanner, your one of those Receivers!' 'What the hell are you taking about?!' He yelled as Doctor Garfield approached him. 'Don't act dumb!!' Garfield shouted and stabbed the needle at Cameron, he dodged and the needle missed him by inches.

Cameron lunged backwards and grasped frantically for anything he could use for a weapon. This asshole was going to kill him! His hands grasped something hard and cool. A vase! He spun backwards grabbed the vase with both hands and threw it as hard as he could at Garfield. The Doctor tried to move out of its flight path but the vase broke on his left shoulder. He yelled in anger but it didn't do much.

'Burn in hell you mutant freak of nature!' He hollered as he head-butted Cameron, sending the boy flying into a cabinet. Cameron pushed himself of the cabinet and grabbed Garfield on the neck.

He could feel arteries and veins and Garfield's throat as he tightened his grip around the Doctor's neck. Garfield's eyes widened and his face began turning red as his brain yelled at him for air. Cameron felt life start to drain from Doctor Garfield and suddenly he released. 'I can't. I just can't.'

Eva lay on the table still unconscious from the drugs Garfield had given to relieve the pain. The Doctor sat on the ground, breathing heavily and staring at Cameron in amazement. 'You just made the worst choice of your life Mr Tanner.' He heaved.

SAM awoke, sweat pouring down her neck, her blouse clinging to her sticky body. She recalled the horrifying experience she had had yesterday with the tiger and that peculiar boy. Everitt. The boy who had saved her life was named Everitt. 'Everitt!' She yelled at the wall which the boy had previously come from. 'Could you possibly bring me some food? I'm starving in here!' She heard a click and whoosh and a small food tray slid through the wall as though it wasn't there.

Sam looked down at the food tray, berries and some slope. Sam wasn't going to eat this! 'Hey!' She yelled. 'What is this shit?! You can't really expect me to eat this!' She heard a click and a whoosh again and suddenly the grey colorless slope came pouring through door. It was coming through a box shape in the door and was surprisingly very watery. The slop poured through the box hole and was soon covering the whole floor of the room.

Sam tried blocking the hole but it just went through the object as though it wasn't there. 'Are you trying to kill me?!!' She screamed as she wadded to her bed and climbed up onto it. The slope was at knee level now. Click! Whoosh! The door across the room, the one the tiger had come from opened in the shape of a circle and more slope came pouring through. On the ceiling, 6 holes about size of an iPad opened up and more and more and more slop fell through. Sam started paddling as she held onto a cabinet and the slop now was about 2 meters from the ceiling.

'Stop! Stop now!' As in reply, more slop came pouring from the ceiling. Sam was panicking and she knew that this time that boy wasn't going to save her. At that moment, an idea struck her. The glass! If she could somehow break those glass walls!

Sam swam down to the glass wall and pounded her fists on them. The sound vibrated through the water. She swan back up and took a big breath. 'Aaaaghhh!!' She yelled. 'Let me out!!!' The slop was about 12 inches from the ceiling now and she had about maybe 5 minutes before the slop would reach the ceiling and suffocate her.

She grabbed a chain of the wall and wrapped it around her fist. 'Last chance!' Sam kicked to the glass wall and punched it as hard she could and a small fracture appeared. She kicked and punched and slammed and rammed and a fracture about half her height was seen now. She surfaced again and breathed deeply and went under again.

Sam,using her shoulder, rammed with as much force she could muster and heard a crack from both her shoulder and the glass. The glass concaved in and the slop poured out. Sam was pulled out and a glass impaled her in the side. She fell on the floor of the room she had broken into and gasped like a fish for air. Suddenly she heard a door click and out came Everitt a grin plastered on his face.
