Locked In [COMPLETED]

Days

It's been a few days since the booms rang through the air. Rumour had it that there was a terrorist attack on quadrant six. The booms were artillery bombs crashing against the walls causing them to collapse. We the people who were left in the old basement had to go retrieve the survivors from the rubble and deal with the dead corpses.

  "We want all of you to find every survivor. No man is left behind. We will be sending guards out with you to make sure you don't try anything. We will be leaving at dusk in case any bombers don't see us while we work. We cannot lose any of our subj- uh people." Dr. McArthur said.

    Everybody was split up into small groups and started to leave the underground building. I was put into a group with Carl and Lizzy. (Lizzy is the little girl who's brother died)

    We walked down endless hallways untill we came to a huge opening, the walls were caved in and smashed all over the floor. Blood puddled under a few rocks I could feel bile rise in my throat causing me to gag and fall to my knees. I threw up all over the ground in front of me. I could feel a masculine hand pull my long blonde hair behind my head into a bunch. My stomach twisted as he helped me to my feet, my head throbbed from the strain. 

  "Are you ok Samantha?" Carl asked me as he led me to the females rest room. We approached the large pink door, opening it and letting me in first. He followed me in and quickly pulled a water bottle out of his carpet bag.

   "Wash down that foul taste" he ordered me.

    " Why are they doing this to us?" I croaked.
 
   " We are different then the rest of the world and we are going to "save " the entire human population. I did some spying, what they are really doing is selling us as labrats. They lock us away from the real world."
He paused for a second.
   "How did they get you here? Do you remember any roads or signs?"

  His words were overwhelming me. I just put my head in my hands and sobbed. I could feel him wrap his arms around my waist and hugging  me tightly against his chest. I let the tears flow as he tried to comfort me. I missed my family and my friends...

    A faint knock on the door interrupted my somber thoughts.

   "Samantha are you alright?"  A quiet female voice asked through the door which was now ajar.

  Without a reply she crept in and kneeled down next to me on the floor.

   "You shouldn't be in here." She told Carl.

   "I'm Samantha's boyfriend and she wants my company." He snapped back at her.

   Without another word I stood up and pulled my hair into a braid. The woman quickly shuffled out of the room, leaving Carl and I alone.

   Looking up, I saw the blood from my fingers smeared all over the vent. The blood started to turn brown. I quickly jumped up onto the counter cringing from the now tingling pain in my back.

   "What are you doing Sam?" Carl asked in confusion.

   "The vent" I said as I started to tug at the corners.

   "Hun, they are screwed in" he informed me, "here use this" he said handing me a pocket knife with a star screwdriver opened up.

   I fiddled with all four screws untill they all hit the floor.

  Carl grabbed my hips and hoisted me up into the vents then I grabbed his hands helping him into the vent.

   We have to save these people from this fate.
