Dying Breath: Unveiling Secrets

Meeting In Private

Askova nudged Irma's shoulder to signal her to stop talking. Irma looked down. Dr. Atkinson ran through the crowd, pushing people aside.

" Irma," he calmly said. Irma was still looking at the ground. Askova stepped up.

" She told me that you locked her up on the 6th floor. That's why you told people to not go down there, because then they would see her, then possibly kill her," Askova started. Dr. Atkinson looked hot-headed, with everyone staring at him.

" Is that true?" Willow asked. Dr. Atkinson was still looking at Askova, looking mad.

" If people killed her, then the cannibals would smell the scent and come here. So... what you did was both right and wrong," Askova walked up to Dr. Atkinson, and stared up at him, " you think you own the place huh?" Dave walked up and separated the two.

" Okay, come on, no violence here. There's probably a misunderstanding," assured Dave. Michaela appeared out of nowhere and walked up behind Askova.

" Is it a misunderstanding, or a dick move?" Michaela asked, crossing her arms. Dr, Atkinson looked a little scared. He backed up a little bit and sighed.

" She was... the bit when this thing started. She didn't exactly turn, so we knew she wasn't a deadly. Our staff here thought that she was better on the 6th floor, full of..." he stopped. Askova squinted.

" Full of... what?" Derek asked. There was silence for a few seconds.

" The Infected. And that's all I'm saying," he replied looking down.

" I think that's all we need to know," Askova replied, looking flinty. Dr. Atkinson looked up at her.

Askova, Willow, Derek, Lindsay, Dave, and Michaela were huddled together in Derek's hospital room, talking about how Irma was locked on floor 6. At first, they were talking about how good of an idea that was. Now, they think that was a wicked idea.

" At first, I thought Dr. Arson was a good person, but now I might have changed my mind," Michaela replied.

" It's Dr. Atkinson," Askova corrected. Michaela clapped her hands and got up.

" Exactly my point." Michaela huddled down again.

" What does his name have anything to do with it?" Derek asked.

" Cause it's hard to pronounce, and it seems a little sketchy to me," Michaela sighed.

" Okay, we need to talk about what's really important here," Askova said, getting the topic back on track. There was a piece of paper in the middle of the table, with a pencil, " so when I was down there, the floor was very deserted. No one was there, except for a few cannibals. It was a massacre, a huge mess. When I met Irma, I thought she was a regular cannibal. But, when she came closer after a lot of running and screaming, I realized she was just a regular person, but with cannibal qualities," Askova finished.

She was drawing the 6th floor by memory and creating the debris that was in the way. She also drew the room that she met Irma in. Everyone was watching closely.

" But why?" Derek asked. Askova looked up.

" Why what?" Askova asked.

" But why the 6th floor? Isn't there any other floor or room for her to be in?" Derek finished.

" Maybe because the 6th floor was full of sick kids and..." Askova thought. Now, she looked terrified.

" What?" Dave asked.

" They sent her down there to eat sick kids. Oh my god, those monsters!" Askova opened the door and ran out of the room.
