AWOKEN MONSTERs

Chapter 3

Danny woke up sweating, screaming Dylan’s name. Dylan had already gone to work, but he left Danny’s uniform nicely folded on the made side of the bed. While the side Dylan was laying on was still messy and unkempt. He sighed and made the bed. Dressing quickly. Its been two weeks and a day. Still a virgin and extremely lonely. Aron and Danny work different shifts so while one had free time the other was ether working or asleep.

Another sigh. Danny fixed his hair and walked to the cafeteria with the empty tray. Matt’s  usual  happy demeanor was replaced with  a tired, far away look. His eyes were red and puffy so it looked like he didn’t sleep that night, because he was crying.

“Hey curly, what’s wrong?” Danny frowned slightly.

“No-nothing…..” He mumbled and turned to walk away beginning his kitchen duties. Danny didn’t want to pester with it.

The day was odd. Not as like in with people acting weird, but the feeling was weird. Like something very bad was going to happen but Danny just couldn’t put his finger on it. Guards and peacekeepers came in and took certain people, leaving about six or seven people in the  kitchen. Matt and Danny were two of the six.

Everyone who was a mutation was left. Danny had no idea what was happening….

Didn’t know Matt was a mutation…..

The day went on.

Only mutations.

Odd.

The shift ended, and Danny went back to his room that he shared with Dylan. Dylan wasn’t there. Silence.  Screaming in the distance. There was a knock on the door, and Matt was crying. Danny opened the door, and Matt was covered in blood, he sniffled his eyes were a very bright green. Danny looked out into the hallway and see a monster round the corner running on its hands and knees.  Matt was yanked into the room and the door was slammed shut as the couch was pushed in front of it to keep the door closed.

Matt was still covered in blood and sobbing quietly. Danny pulled Matt into the bathroom and let him strip to his boxers, letting him get into the shower and wash all the blood off.  Matt was still crying as Danny wrapped the 16 year old in a towel.

Danny was feeling bad right now. The blood that covered Matt was not his, except for the blood on his shoulder where he had very large and deep claw marks in his back. He had a tail though with dog ears that folded down on the top of his head. Danny had never noticed them.

“What happened out there?” Danny frowned as  he set Matt on his bed.

“M-mon-ster-s……… T-there comi-ing from the o-outside…….”  Matt whimpered.

“There coming from the top? Like from outside of the vault?” Danny handed Matt an old uniform , from when he didn’t have Dylan yet.

Matt dressed quickly putting on his uniform with no boxers. Matt sat on the bed and sniffled wiping his eyes. He tried not shaking from the sight of bloodshed he just saw but he was hyperventilating and sobbing into his hands.
