They looked like human hands.
"Uh, should we open the door?"
"I do not know Rose, looks risky."
"Yeah. Listen to Derrick for once. We are in no shape to fight."
"I see no other path. Do you?"
The look around and realize I am right.
"Alright then. Be ready to fight."
I wiggle the door nob. It is loose. It can open. Question is, is it a trap? I decide it is worth it. No where else to go.
"Here goes nothing."
I turn the nob. What I see is crazy. Five people in police suits dead. One alive. His hands where on the door.
"Grace... you did it"
The voice is very faint. I wonder how long he waited. He probably survived by playing dead
"Hey, I know you are about to have a moment with Grace, but I need to ask you a bunch of things. Where are my 'people'."
"They never showed up. The name is Leo."
"Hi Leo, stay with me. We need to know everything, The name is Rose. What do you mean my 'people' never showed up? And where did you leave us because we ended up in a dungeon. What happened here?"
"I had no idea you where here. Rose, you are not supposed to be here. Only Grace and Derrick. They were the team. I have no idea where your people are. Also I left them in a locked room. How did you end up in a dungeon? I never show you go in. You guys where right in the other room. What happened here was a war between the head of the monsters and us. We had to fight our kids' monsters but we lost horribly. There was one that looked like the head of the monsters but not. And another that looked like a kid. Very creepy ones indeed. I guess they belong to you."
"You are correct. And their names are Leader, Lead, and Kev."
"You named them?"
"Not important. Did you hear bombs above you?"
"I did why? Had no clue what they were for."
Yes! That means Dun was upstairs. Meaning my team was there. No way they died. They are too tough.
"Leo we need you. Anything you need to tell us? The map of this place? I need to go upstairs. I also need to find you bandages. Know where the first aid kit is?"
"I know place. There is no map. Why upstairs? Nothing is there. Also under the floor boards should be it. Just in case, you know, you can not walk."
"Grace get the kit. I will bandage you all"
"What are you going to do?"
"Look around."
It looks like there was other was out. The other door heads outside. So meaning we have to go back and face the creeps if we can open the door. If not we are stuck. Grace finds the kit. As I heal them I decide to get to know them. I get to see everyone in light, which is great. Leo has red hair because of blood. His eyes are grayish blue. I can kinda tell his hair is a very light blond. That was how the blood stained his hair, because it was light colored. Derrick has milk brown hair and very dark brown eyes, Almost black. Leo, Derrick, and Grace all have abs. Was I the only one who did not train? Time to get answers.
"So how old are all of you?"
"I am forty, Derrick is thirty five, Grace is thirty. And you?"
"I am fifteen."
The shock on there faces almost made me laugh. Then I thought maybe I am too young? I swear if this was all a prank I AM KILLING SOMEONE.
"Wow. I was close."
"Derrick, shut up."
"OK."
"How are you that young! There is no story of a fifteen year old saving the world."
"I do not know Leo. I was told the 'special ones' were being brought here to be safe. DO you know about that?"
"Uh, yeah. Only Grace and Derrick though. Each base gets two kids. But I guess something went wrong somewhere. Not only are you here, but you guys where in a dungeon."
"Great. Also where did the monsters go?"
"I have no idea. they just left. Who is on your team?"
"Zander, Sandy, Kevin"
"Guessing Kev looks like Kevin."
"Yep."
"I know none of them. I did not train with any of them"
"Two of them are my friends."
"WHAT!"
"What?"
"THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES."
'It is?"
"Yeah!"
"Um, tell me all you now Leo. I am super confused."
"Well the infection is.."
"I know that."
"Are you sure?"
Since everything has been wrong, I thought maybe I did not know.
"No."
"OK. It all started when we created a thing to help people get over fears."
"Um who is we?"
"I guess we are called the Fear Killers. The job was to erase fear in the special ones' lives. But it went wrong. Instead there fears came to life and made them more scared. So we trained them to defeat them. Then we formed a group. One spy to know everything about you, a person good with computers to hack into things and such, and a strong person to protect and train them"
"I never got trained. And I got no spy or person good with computers."
"Are you sure you are special?"
"I was never told what the 'special ones' do."
"You do not know you can do magic?"
