Fight For Survival

Chapter 2

I thought about this for a second before I jumped out of bed and promptly began to back my bag.

I'll have to make a call to my one and only friend so that she can look after Ryan, my brother. I'm doing this for him, so I can't leave him alone.

***

After I get off the phone I go to talk to Ryan.

"Ryan, I have to leave for a little bit okay? I'm leaving you with Laura. (my best friend) oh, and don't do anything stupid  while I'm gone. K?" I said in a rush. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Doesn't matter I'll see you soon." and with that final sentence I gracefully exited the house. I wish.

I made it to the stairs before landing face first on the cold, hard, unforgiving ground. Lets just say it hurt.

***

I finally made it out the door and onto my only form of transport, a bike. Thank god it doesn't take long to get to Hambritch Hall from where I am.

***

After a very cold, tiring bike ride I finally arrived at my destination. Hambritch Hall.

I flicked the stand of my bike down and got off. I ran for the door, but right before I opened it I hesitated. Didn't they say I had to wait for further information?

My hand dove into my pocket in search of the earpiece, when I had grasped it and managed to pull it out I found the red light was, once again, blinking.

I scrambled to place it in my ear. Once in I pressed the red button and listened closely for the coming message.

I see you have made it to you destination safely, now  you need to complete this simple task: 

You will find a room inside which houses your Pandoras. Pandoras are made to assist in the Brimstone Bleed so chose carefully. 

May the best contender win.

And with that the message cut off.

I launched into action.

I ran into the hall and towards the direction of a lit up room. God damn it, this better be it.

I swung the door open and literally threw myself inside of the room.

My head snapped from side to side before finally settling on hundreds of empty stands. My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach and the back of my eyes burned with unshed tears.

I had just started to turn around and leave when something glinting in the corner caught my eye. It looked like an egg, except larger. It was about the size of a football with a swirling rainbow of colors showing through the seemingly thick layer of shimmering sparkles.

This must be a Pandora!

I sped forward, grabbed the egg and ran back to my bike.

I rode to my safe haven to see if there were any other messages.  God, I can't believe I'm actually doing this!
