Chapter 13

The doors opened and Big Guy pointed at the elevator that was going back up. "More are coming! Go!" He yelped running away as doctors on our hallway came running. The elevator doors opened and we started to sprint away from them in the elevator and in the corridor.

We turned the corner and ran.

I was gasping for air and drowning in sweat. We ran up some more stairs and were finally somewhere that looked like we knew where it was. We saw a door that we didn't know where it lead to and ran there. It lead into a large room with high rooves. I couldn't help, but look up while I was running. I've never seen such a fancy room. Doctors were talking with a few outside people and they all stopped to stare at us and stopped talking. When we finally reached the center of the room there was complete silence. Jacob wiped sweat from his forehead and gasped for air.

"Hey everyone," He said with a weak wave as the doctors that were chasing us entered the room. We ran through another door and there were two more doors to go through. I could see grass, trees, and the setting sun. I felt a smile spread across my face as we were about to run through the next door automatic door.

I was totally blocked and ran right into the door. We gasped trying to open it. Jacob and I turned down another corridor from that door and just ran.

"Where are we going?" I gasped trying not to trip and fall, because I was a failure at multi-tasking. He didn't reply because he too was out of breath. I felt a hand brush the end of my shirt and looked back. The doctors were a lot closer to us than we thought. We started to near another T junction.

"Left?" I asked.

"Right," he answered.

"Right?" I glanced at him.

"No Le-" We were blocked. Jacob slowed down faster than I did. I ended up running into a stone hard chest. I brushed hair that was stuck to me with sweat and a few loose strands that were in my mouth from my face. I slowly looked up and was greeted with a bright smile.

"Iris," Holmer grinned.

He grabbed Jacob and I by the neck of our shirts. His smile faded away as he glared at us. He shoved me into another doctor,"I'll deal with her later," He fanned me off before looking back down at Jacob.

"What do you think you are doing?!" He yelled throwing a punch at Jacob's face. I gasped, but didn't try to fight the doctor that was holding me back. He was like three times the size of me. Jacob held his eyes closed as Holmer kept on screaming at him. He shook Jacob from the neck of his shirt where he still had an iron grip.

"You will never escape, people like you are a danger to the world!" He shouted droplets of spit flying into Jacob's face. Jacob is stubborn and totally relaxed in the worst situations. I know he can be scared, but he's just not that scared. And if he is he tries not to show it. Jacob reached his hand up and was going to wipe Holmer's saliva from his face when Holmer thought he was trying to fight him. He hit Jacob again and again and again then let him fall on the floor.

"Do you want to know what we do with kids who keep on fighting back?" He screamed. Jacob lay on the ground and wiped saliva and blood from his face."We force them to bite their fingers off!" He cackled like a crazy man.

"And if they don't bite them off we will break them off!" He started to laugh. When Jacob finally stumbled to his feet he looked around at the circle of doctors, swaying slightly as I stared at the scene in front of me.

"Dude," He huffed waving a hand at him. "You are just as crazy as I am," He scoffed. Holmer's expression dropped and if one of my hands weren't being held behind my back, my palm would've found it's way to my forehead.

"I'm sure you want to experience what we do with children who also talk back and show no respect-" Jacob who was obviously out of his mind takes a long breath stopping Holmer from talking.

"I don't care," He questionned his gaze lifting to the roof. He narrowed his eyes while staring at the roof. "NO WE CUT THEIR TONGUES OUT!" Holmer yelled as Jacob still stared at the roof. I lifted my gaze to to roof.
