As they departed, Jim inquired, "What happened to you, Zaria? I have never witnessed you so shattered before!" He whispered softly."I just wish that when they return next time, they would end my life!" I began to sob uncontrollably.Never before had I felt so weak and exploited; just the thought of enduring this trauma again was unbearable.On the other hand, Jim refused to give up so easily. He stood up and turned away from me, declaring, "Then I might as well inform Alice that you have given up on her once again!" His words ignited something within me.I turned my head toward him, lost in my thoughts. Later that evening, they presented us with food. I was starving, not that I felt hungry, but I was weak because I had no food since I was unconscious for two days.When I saw the platter of thick beef patties, my forehead wrinkled with disgust. "Eat, you need to regain your strength!" the guard who brought the food insisted."I will not eat it!" I declared."If you refuse, you will no
"They won't take long to realize that the camera isn't working," I remarked as I approached the control panel of the main door."He mentioned 258!" I exclaimed and quickly entered the password.However, it turned out to be the wrong password as it displayed a message on the screen that said "2 more tries left!"."Please be careful!" Jim cautioned me.I also heard a strange clicking sound coming from behind the wall behind the cage."Okay, okay! He started with." I recalled his words "I am here to." I thought "Number 2!" I inputted number two and then remembered his mention of a third friend "Three!" I quickly entered 3 and then recalled his comment about the other two being useless, so I entered 2 again.Finally, I entered 258 "Who is loyal to me!" I stated as I entered 2 before pressing the submit button.With a small beep, the door slid open.Jim dashed out through the door and turned back to me, "Come on!" he urged.I pressed random buttons on the panel and then hit the submit butt
As I flipped through the pages, on the first few pages I found prices and lists of items. "What in the world is AC and DC? Is this some sort of coded language?" I squinted. "Zaria!" He facepalmed. "AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current. Don't ask me to explain it now, we don't have time." He hardly contained his laughter.He inquired, "Don't you know how to read?""If I didn't know how to read, how could I read the exact same letters?" I replied with a smirk.We maintained eye contact for a few minutes before I finally spoke up, "Listen, my father taught me how to read, but how was I supposed to know the meaning of AC and DC?"Jim dismissed it, saying, "It's probably just a list of appliances, just leave it!"So I threw the diary in frustration, but as soon as it hit the ground, my gaze fell upon the page that had flipped open.I couldn't resist picking it up once again. "My name is Farrell Grayson, they refer to me as number 8, but it doesn't matter. I r
My throat is so dry that I can't even stick out my tongue; it feels as fragile as a weak, rough rock.I can hear the voices and screams of others, and I know what I'm doing is wrong, but what other choice do I have?"I turned the pages and stumbled upon another entry. "It has been almost a year since and I have been trapped in this place. I couldn't escape and I am slowly losing my sanity.I wish a train could come so my suffering could be ended, but no train came."I closed the book with a loud slap and wiped away my tears. "It's so painful," I muttered. "There's no map or directions, and it seems like there's no way out. But maybe, just maybe, there's a hidden path through this tunnel!""We should take this diary with us," I suggested. "The one who wrote it wanted to share his story, and perhaps we could find his weaknesses and other details that could help us in our fight against the immortals.""Are you sure about this?" Jim asked, moving closer to the train tracks."I'm certain,"
She then guided them away from this location and toward the opposite opening in the far right corner. With each step, the brightness of the opening intensified.Upon finally exiting, they realized that they had arrived at the most strange place they had ever encountered. It seemed to be trapped in some sort of glitch or abnormality."Oh my God!" Amelia exclaimed, turning around. "I must leave now because I have no idea where you need to go out there. All I know is that this place will lead you to the twisted city, which will grant you easy access to the Creepers settlement!" she explained."How does she know about this?" Enzo questioned, narrowing his eyes."I informed her before returning to the city!" Kai clarified they were talking about the Creepers' settlement."Oh! Well then, we should get going. We'll find our own way," Enzo said, facing the opening of the cave as soon as Amelia departed.As they focused on their path, Enzo and Kai found themselves standing before a mysterious
While they were trapped in that area, the situation in the settlement was in complete chaos. The creepers and Libianca's guards were terrified of the horse, and the red alert was still active.Libianca had prepared powerful sedatives to end the miserable life of the horse, but she herself was still frightened. As the debris was being cleared, Jackallion entered the arena and began surveying the surroundings.His attention was caught by a ring-shaped device that clearly did not belong to them or Libianca. It was blinking in a vibrant green color, indicating that it held a message.Carefully, he touched the device, placed it on his ear, and with a soft beep, it activated. He had seen me perform this action before so he too twirled his message around his ear to activate it.To his surprise, he heard Kai's message, the one he had left for me. His eyes widened, and he quickly turned away, making his way out of the arena.Upon reaching the lab, he noticed guards gathering around. "What's go
Resting on his backpack, after gasping for a while Kai took a break from his heavy breathing. He couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a good thing we didn't bring any documents. The bag is all wet now!""Thank you!" Enzo gasped, struggling to catch his breath."Don't thank me, thank these suits that saved us from freezing to death. Although I must admit, I'm still feeling the chill," Kai chuckled."Let's keep moving!" He stood up and extended out his hand toward Enzo.Enzo grasped his hand and rose to his feet, only to realize that Kai was leading them closer to a towering straight mountain with an unusual absence of snow on its walls.Kai glanced to his right and spotted a cabin in the distance. It was the same cabin where Bella had made her sacrifice, and the remains of blood and flesh still stained its surroundings."Time jumps are getting longer, which means we have more time!" Kai beckoned him with his fingers as he continued. "This way!" Kai exclaimed.He sprinted ahead, determined
Two guards entered to locate Libianca, and after a while, they brought her in her wheelchair."Are you foolish or something? You ran away, and now you're returning!" she squinted with confusion."I want you to start the bone marrow extraction immediately!" I declared."You continue to surprise me!" she raised an eyebrow. "Why the sudden change of heart?" she inquired."I know you won't give up on me, and I can no longer put my friends in danger. However, please use something to numb the pain!" I nervously looked down."Very well, prepare her!" she ordered."But before we start, I want you to promise me that you will not harm my friends and leave them alone!" I pleaded.My tears seemed to have an effect on her, as she gazed at me with a look of sorrow on her face."I assure you, your friends will not be harmed in any way!" She replied, and after a moment of silence, she continued, "Take us to the operation theater and give us a moment!" She instructed.No one tied or handcuffed me, and
