The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 39

I wanted to shed into tears. I feel lost and cold. I don't know if this is what really happened but it all seems so real. Everything of it felt real. It felt like I am in full control. I think it was my mother right before she left. I saw my mother again but this time much clear. Her beautiful face and seeing her presence is amazing and comforting. My mother. I look up from my hands when I feel a pair of eyes looking.

"Not all people were brave enough to do what you did" A small flame reveals the person hiding in the shadows. The person who owns it all here. He smokes his cigarette puffing out the stench of that nicotine invading the sweet smell of nature.

"Someone had to it" I say to him with one hand on the nurse button just in case he has something in mind.

"Yeah but look at him now. He's dead. I killed him. He abused the privilege in him. Too much courage can kill, keep that in mind"

"You're not allowed in here"

"And you shouldn't be in this camp, you belong with a medical team that need to know what you have" Why is there a lot of people saying that?!

"I don't have anything" My finger threatens to push the button already.

"Are you sure about that?" He gets up from the chair where he sits at, burning out his cigarette, walking among the darkness.

"Don't come any closer!" I wanted to push the button so bad but I couldn't, I wanted to know what he's saying. I need information.

"It's not my job to kill you. That's up to you. My job is to leave a mark in your mind forever" That's when the light turns on and he jumps on me. The button falls on the floor that I can't reach no more and I hear myself yelling loudly. He covers my mouth roughly and his palm collides with my face. I try pulling him away but I couldn't, his body is on top of me preventing me from moving.

"Shut the fuck up!" He yells aggressively and I can smell that liquor in his breath.

"Where's your Uncle Ben now?" He says in my ear. I then with all my strength push him backwards where he falls on the floor moving Bones bed to the wall causing the wall to crack. I roll off the bed to the floor grabbing the button pushing it hard. I then feel worn out hands on my ankles getting hauled over to Gordon. I feel terror rise up my body. He swiftly pulls a gun on me till I hurl it away where it slides under the bed. I kick his face and he falls back. I get up trying to run to the door but he pulls me back to him.

"No! Stop!" He begins to slap me harder and harder. I try fighting back but he took full control of the battle. I hear the loud pounding on the door that doesn't open because Gordon has locked it. Currently the room now is destroyed from our fighting.

He chokes me back down to earth and I grab the nearest item near me, a lamp, we dropped from fighting. I chuck it at his head resulting him to fall over. I run to the door grabbing the handle but Gordon throws me away again. My head hits the end of the bed and I view spinning. Everything is moving.

"That's enough. I'm doing you a favor kid. It's now or later" He says and I see his face looking wounded with cuts on his face bleeding from his open pores. I try running again but he steps on my leg and I yelp.

"No more games" He says pulling his gun out and aims it at me. Is this my end? I think to myself. I don't want it to be. I clutch my eyes shut and I prepare for impact. I'm sor.... I hear the gunshot but no horrifying pain and I look up to see Bones pulling the gun up to the ceiling. I don't think I'm seeing things right but it is in fact Bones. He's awake. He is awake!

Bones strikes Gordon in his face and kicks him off to the wall where he collapses, dropping the gun down to the floor. I try getting up but I feel pain on my leg.

"You're awake!" I say to Bones who now picks me up.

"Yeah to warn you. Norman you're in great danger" He says.

"Now you tell me" I say as we get to the door.

"This is not what I mea-" I hear a gunshot hit the wall and we turn to where Gordon has his gun pointed to us.

"Drop the boy or I'll kill him!" Gordon yells bleeding from his brow. Bones puts me down slowly and carefully and the door finally busts opens with Dr. Meredith, Uncle Ben and several other medics coming in.

"Gordon drop the gun!" Dr. Meredith yells to Gordon where his gun is fixed on me. He denies but still has his gun on me ready to shoot. Uncle Ben tackles him to the floor and Bones takes me again and we were running to where Dr. Meredith office is at, she ordered us to go there. We make it to her office and she shuts the door, locking it behind us, and leaving me breathless.

"I knew this day would come. Gordon is gonna want to kill you Norman" She searches through her office for some papers in a hurry and she finds a test tube of blood.

"Why does he wanna kill me?"

"Norman I know your uncle never told you but.... Norman you are immune. You were born special. All these check ups, all these tests, all these blood giveaways are all led to this" She hands me the tube of my blood in my hands followed by her leather notebook to give to someone name Chris.

"The cure of the madness outside is you. This is why you aren't allowed to do such things in the camp. You are what's gonna help the people" The door handle jingles and Dr. Meredith pushes us away into her closet shutting the door leaving it a bit open so we can see.

The door is brought down and enters Gordon with Uncle Ben with a gun pointed to his head. My heart throbs in pain and I'm left petrified in a small space.

"Where's the boy?" He says and pushes Uncle Ben to a chair where he's threatened by his weapon.

"Gordon the boy can save us. We don't have to keep living this way" Dr. Meredith stands up high with pride not scared of the monster.

"The boy will get us all killed. They will find him and tear him apart. I'm helping the kid by putting him out of his misery before they get here" Gordon says trembling.

"Gordon, please he can stop all of this. All of this can end"

"Jane, the boy can no longer save us, it's way too late now. Where is he!"

"Well... he's gone, far away from you!" She yells directly and then a gunshot echoes throughout the camp. I look through the crack of the door to reveal that Dr. Meredith has been shot right through her stomach. She collapses onto the floor and I see as Gordon leaves the room furious being followed by dozens of guardians. Hell has been let loose. We get out of the closet and we fall to Dr. Meredith where she puts pressure on her wound choking on her blood that drips from the side of her lips.

"Ben leave now. Take Norman with you and never let him out of your sight. Go to the pack. To Harry. Save the world" She coughs out blood as she speaks and turns to me. I cradle her in my arms as she begins to speak.

"Norman baby, remember what I said. Leave the camp and don't come back. Stay alive. Do it for us" Those were her last words before she went into the light, and right after she sacrificed her life for us.
