chapter 14

3 hours earlier.

Everything around him was blurry, an incoherent fuzz that clouded his vision and made his head feel dizzy. His right arm from the elbow down was numb and something had pierced his skin and was slowly pumping a green fluid into him.

Every breath felt as though he was breathing in nothing but he was still holding onto the thin threads of what ever life he had left. There was muffled yells somewhere that made his delirious curiosity perk up and he wished with everything in his body that he was able to move.

"Ah, Phil." A feminine voice echoed behind him and he turned his stiff neck to find the source of the noise but everything was still cloudy and white.

"wh...." he decided upon not to talk but to try to observe who was talking and the unfamiliar surroundings.

"I bet you're thinking 'what am i doing here?' hmm?" her voice sounded clear, like a TV presenter or something with a delicate hint of an Australian accent.

Oh really, what gave it away?

"This is the DHPP, Decreasing of Human Population Project, run by the government-"

Through his current bad eyesight he saw a blurry figure of a woman go towards his right arm and he felt a subtle stinging sensation before he could breathe again.

Everything doubled then came clear again and he could see his surroundings properly, it was a clean white room, with a white desk with a variety of stationary carefully placed on top.

"-but I will take you to Mr. Ventura for further information and i expect you will see your... friend there too."

He then fell unconscious.

3 hours later.

"-SHOOT HIM!"

And before Dan could even think about his actions everything went black.

A deep, dark, meaningless black.

Phil woke with a start that tore at his cramped muscles that made him wince.

"Finally." Someone said right into his ear, their hot breath ticking Phil's neck and making him visibly shudder with a gross feeling to crawl along his spine. "And we expect your friend to arrive soon, or however long it takes for the drug to wear off"

His voice was filled with a strong, posh, English accent that made you want to drink tea for the rest of your life.

"Oh come on Phil open your eyes!" But Phil didn't even have time to react before two icy cold fingertips were forcing open his eyelids and he was met by a dark grey wall.

He was on his knees, his right shoulder digging into the side of a throne-like chair and his wrists were cuffed behind his back making every muscle in his body cramp.

"Ah... there we are, now that wasn't too hard, was it?"

Roughly an hour passed but it felt like all of eternity to Phil with the strange man quietly saying things to Phil that made his stomach churn.

"Oh Mr. Venturaaaa?" a ladies voice echoed through the door in a sing song tone and a soft chuckle emitted from his right.

The doors opened, the sound echoing through the room and a lady skipped in, her blonde hair waving with each bounce and a mad grin plastered on her pale features.

Dan's POV ((omg finally))

They were pulling me along, an iron grip on both my wrists that made me a little light headed. They were going so fast and I would constantly stumble over my feet, putting a blanket of dizziness and uncertainty over my shoulders. A woman with blonde hair skipping in front of me, a teasing giggle escaping her lips every so often, tormenting me so the tiny hairs on my skin would prickle up.
