Dying Breath: Unveiling Secrets

Surprising Encounter

" Hey Josh, open up the main doors," the doctor ordered through his walkie talkie, pinned to his shirt. He left his mask on. The little girl was still hanging onto his coat. The doors suddenly opened, and they walked into the lounge. The doctor cocked his shotgun and held it up.

" Wait right there," he ordered. The group stood still looking scared. His voice was kinda light. The doctor gestured his shotgun down, signaling them to put their stuff down. They did that. Accept Michaela, she held on to her bazooka. " Put your gun down." The doctored ordered, sternly.

" It's a portable anti-tank rocket launcher, and no," Michaela replied.

" Put it down," Askova nudged at Michaela, whispering. Michaela grunted and put it down carefully, making sure the un didn't go off because it was still loaded. She put her hands up. Everyone followed suit.

" Follow me." Everyone obeyed his orders and followed him, including the little girl. They walked through the hallway to which the walls were replaced with windows instead of bricks. The carpet was rugged and bloodied from, assuming by the smell, the cannibals. The carpet design was navy blue with coloured squiggly lines. Plants were broken and potting soil dumped on the floor. They continued to follow the doctor as they stood close together.

They arrived at the service and receptionists desk in the main lounge area.

" Where is our stuff going to go?" Maggy asked. The doctor kept walking and didn't answer. The group looked at each other and looked scared.

" We are going to have you guys checked up, cleaned up, and ready to go," the doctor replied, with skepticism. No one said anything. They kept following the doctor. After a long walk, they arrived into a check-in area, that was full of kids, of whom looked like ages 3-16. There were also some adults. As the group entered the room, everyone pointed their eyes towards the group, looking scared. As they turned right, a guy screamed.

" Hey, it's you guys!" the guy screamed. They were shocked, but then realized who it was. It was Sam and Ivy behind him. They looked daggers into their eyes. Michaela grunted with anger as she looked at Sam. He did the same.

" Ok, shut up and sit down." The group sat down and said nothing, hands still in the air. The doctor took out a clipboard and pen out of his coat like it was a magic hat. He handed the clipboard and pen to Dave, the first person on the left. " Put your first and last name on here, birthdate, age, allergy info, disorders, and illnesses and diseases we should know about." Dave started to write. Eventually, everyone wrote their name, birthdate, age, and any additional info. It looked something like this:

Dave Carter              5/ 27/ 1992 31

Derek Miller             3/ 2/ 2004 13            nut allergy

LINDSAY JONES     1/ 22/ 2005 13

margaret dawn     12/ 5/ 1995 22          bee-sting

Askova Hunt            2/ 18/ 2004 14

Michaela Hixson   7/ 23/ 2005 12

Raiven Price           8/ 12/ 2006 11

willow clark           9/ 17/ 2005 12             ADHD

Willow handed the clipboard and pen back to the doctor. The doctor nodded.

" Thank you." The doctor walked out of the room and left the group there. The little girl stayed. Willow looked at Ray.

" Your names Raiven? That's such a cool name!" Ray nodded and looked down. Askova looked at Derek.

" You're allergic to nuts, of all things?" Derek had a straight face.

" Ever since childhood, yeah. I found out about it when I found some trail mix when I was 4. They said that I was allergic to it." Derek also looked down. Askova scoffed and suddenly remembered that there were people in the room.

" Guys, look." Everyone looked up. Everyone stared at the group. Askova suddenly felt really uncomfortable. The people were a good distance from the group, about 4-5 feet away from them. Askova suddenly felt like a new student in school. She hates being the center of attention. Ivy and Sam were glaring at them. The group glared back.

The Doctor came back holding 8 needles with some yellowish like liquid. He also had some bandages and cotton balls. He was still wearing his doctors mask and a stethoscope. He bent down and set his stuff on a paper towel on a table next to where they were sitting.

" Ok, before you guys can stay here, we have to check and see if you guys are infected, just for precautions," the doctor said. He grabbed a needle and pierced it into Derek's arm after finding a vein in his left arm. He put a cotton ball over the spot where it was bleeding and bandaged it. The doctor then put on his stethoscope and checked his heartbeat. He soon did it to the whole group. He wrote down the data, grabbed his stuff, threw it away, and walked out the room.
