De Pride Isle Sanatorium

Chapter 40: Again and again

I finish my meal and get up. Jaxton and Marissa do the same and we start to quickly walk out of the cafeteria. We walk down the grand stairs and make a sharp turn to the dormitories. We then look for an empty dorm, we find one, and enter it. I shut and lock the door. "Phew, we made it." I say, sighing a breath of relief. "Ah! After such a holy meal, it is now time for you all to clean up and head to your dorms! Please put your empty plates on a table near the kitchen door before leaving the cafeteria! After that, head to your dorms!"

"Looks like disposal was just announced." Marissa mentions. "There might be another raid. I saw a lot of twitching heads. Be careful..."

I gulp and my heart starts beating really fast. "We got bunker to protect us." Jaxton says. Yeah, the bunker. I almost died going there. I wonder how Marissa felt about me almost dying. I should ask her. "Hey, Marissa?" I start. She looks over at me. "Are you okay? You know, about what happened a few nights ago.."

"...Honestly, I was scared. I was also worried about Jaxton. He was pretty distraught when you passed out. I'm glad to see that you're okay now." Marissa says. She smiles at me. Suddenly, the lights shut off and the night bell tolls. "Oh my, looks like it is time for bed, dears! The lights are off and the night bell has rung. Goodnight, my dear patients! Sweet dreams!" A nurse announces. Then comes the familiar laughter. Then the screams. The horrid screams I am slowly getting used to. "Ugh.." I hear Jaxton groan. I look over at him. "Blur..." He says. "I just drank holy water at dinner too! So annoying.."

I feel that. Drinking holy water and then later getting a blur is the most annoying thing ever. "My arm is twitching." Marissa says. Suddenly, I hear the familiar sirens start playing.

Oh no.

Not again..

"Oh no! Something has gone terribly wrong, dears! Quickly head to the bunker located in the West Wing! It closes it two minutes, hurry!"

Marissa walks over to the door and unlocks it. "Ready?" She asks, turning to us. Jaxton stands up and nods his head. I do the same. Marissa opens the door and then we all run out. We run as fast as we can out of the dorms and to the West Wing across from us. I look over at the balcony and see nurses fighting over six cannibals. I quickly turn my attention back to where I am headed. I keep on running to the bunker.
