A warning:“Johanne! You are back!” Eli called out. Just like I thought, we arrived here, on top of the tank where the Spatial lock was, but the experience was different. Instead of just sensing the lock and teleporting, I used my spatial sense and kaleidoscope, it was surreal.Just like I thought, it was possible to place a spatial lock in the kaleidoscope, but unlike the normal spatial lock which made it so I could only teleport to that spot, the kaleidoscope lock worked more like a spatial node, an unnaturally create one.This made it so that just like a normal spatial node, I could sense my surroundings and appear almost anywhere within the range of my Spatial sense.Currently, my abilities were limited by a lack of essence; essence were energies that anomalies use. This energy was stored at the heart and can be refined through meditation as well as absorbing from the cores of shamblers.Unfortunately, the energy is only present in awakened ones, this is the reason why not just me
Four days left:The space was quiet and everyone stared at me with strange looks like they were seeing me for the first time. I didn't mind, the silence was good, although my head still ached, it wasn't as bad.“Johanne, are you okay?” Eli came beside me and placed a hand on my head. I looked at him, unlike the rest of the people around, he had a look of concern.“I'm fine.” I muttered. Thomas stood up and staggered to where the other vagabonds gathered. I watched him go.“Nikita will be joining us, as a member of the council, she will be in charge of weaponry and rare materials. We will be using her mansion as our base.”“Really? I heard her mansion is in the middle of nowhere.” Smith responded. Seeing my blank look, she continued, “you stayed that the vagabonds will be part of the resources gathering team, it will be almost impossible for us to go back and forth between the base and the city.”“Don't worry, I'll take care of that.” I had plans of opening portals for them to move any
underground labPop! We appeared in front of the familiar building, Celestial enterprise. It was late in the night and there was no security outside, but I knew that that was because the securities were focused on guarding the inside.“Woah, that was crazy.” Thomas exclaimed. Unlike what I expected, he wasn't cold to me when we met again, apparently, he doesn't bare a grudge because he believes that the strong dominates the weak.Such a simple philosophy but yet an effective mindset, it has it's own setbacks though but who am I to complain? As long as the brute is on my side.Along with me was Nikita and the vagabonds, seven of us in total and I finally learned the names of the vagabonds; There's Smith, the leader, then Thomas the brute, the fatty is Taurus, the skinny is Jack and the creepy is owl. Quite the pack.“What did it look like? Or feel like?” I asked the group. I wanted to know what they saw.“Well, it was like we just vanished, like the world blinked and we appeared here.
True colours:“Huh?” the young man stared at us, dumbfounded. I smirked, everything suddenly became clear to me. No wonder they left this guy here, he knew about the underground lab but the information he knew was different.This was a brilliant strategy on the masterminds part, after all, if this man was to be the stand-in CEO, he would find out about the underground lab and he might want to snoop around.This was humans nature, curiosity. But by telling him what was supposedly in the lab and by giving him a key, which I'm sure he has, they totally quenched his curiosity.This made it so that the underground lab would just seem like any other lab and make it unappealing to the mind.“Hey, cut the nonsense pretence, we know about it all already.” Thomas yelled at the young man. He flinched and his fear returned in full force.“Calm down, Thomas. He's right, or at least he believes he is.”“What?” Thomas and the rest looked confused, except Nikita and Smith who from their expressions, I
True colours [2]It was utter chaos. Marks eyes were wide as he stepped out of the elevator, following closely behind Johanne, he was unsure of why he did that, but for some reason, he felt this man would be able to guarantee his safety.But that was more of a passive feeling.What he was currently feeling was utter shock, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had been equally surprised when a young man barged into his office and accused the company of partaking in human experiments, but he assumed that there must have been a mistake.He knew that the company was corrupt, but as a nobody who only managed to become the secretary of the CEO by sheer hardwork and luck, he knew better. Which was why he looked the other way most times, but he never expected that the stranger would be saying the truth.Now that he was seeing it with his own eyes, the detached body parts, the smell of blood, and the madness in the eyes of the scientists that even fear couldn't completely conceal, he fe
True colours [3]Tak~ Tak~The space was extremely quiet, except from the occasional footsteps as a result of the guards moving around. There were rows after rows of prison cubes and it was impossible to see who was inside.The guards were only able to know which prisoner was in which prison by checking the information tab on the door to each cell.The place was patrolled by almost fifteen guards, each fully armed. People like this weren't like normal securities, most of them were criminals that needed money and a place to hide.By recieving contracts from the company to hide for a few years and in return guard their cells, they managed to say under the radar from the authorities.This was ground negative 5, the final floor and what seeems like an impenetrable fortress. This place was so airtight, that even though the higher ups and the other branches located in other cities have already gotten a wind of what was going on, this floor was still in the dark.Ding~Which was why it was s
Family [1]The inside of the room was bland, the walls which looked to be made of a strange material were white, there was a small bed which was equally as white and the only thing of color in the room was the clothes Hana was wearing.They were blue, just like the rest of the victims that the guards called prisoners.‘How long has it been?” Hana wondered as she stared at the white ceiling. She couldn't tell how long she had been in here, maybe weeks or months.And with each passing day, she felt her mentality diminish a bit. Staring at white all day was really tasking on the nerves, it was the reason the organization made their cells in such a way.They wanted to slowly weaken the prisoners mentally. Those who were weak were already on the floor above in tubes and tanks.‘I wonder how he's doing, I hope he's surviving.’Hana used to work for this company, she had her suspicions but she was never sure of what they were doing. That was until they found out her secret, her grandson and
Family [2]“How are things in your end?” Eli asked Belamir. Both of them were no longer at the center of the warehouse where the office space was, instead, they stood outside the warehouse.Belamir raised his phone, taking a quick glance at the messages that kept pouring in. They were reporting messages telling him that his orders had been completed.“It's all proceeding smoothly.” Belamir replied. He glanced at Eli before gazing at the sky,“Just like you asked, solid in bags, liquid and gas in tanks. I still don't understand why you are gathering them though, apart from a few that seem important, the rest look irrelevant to me.”Eli chuckled. He sighed and he took a quick glance behind him at the warehouse, within, the rest of the members of Sanctuary were moving about, taking inventory and sorting the final resources.“Unlike the rest of you, Johanne told me every detail about the apocalypse.”Eli looked beside him at Belamir, Belamir looked back at him.“My brother plans to bring
