My voice reached Jim's ears and he woke up, two guards held him tightly unable to move he just watched in horror.As I saw a gun with a needle in one man's hand, I couldn't move as I was lying on the floor on my stomach.Before I knew a needle pierced my skin with cruelty, a thin, sharp lance felt slicing through me like a hot knife through butter.and the needle was no ordinary needle; it was thick and horrifying, sparkling in the sharp lights.I felt a sickening swirl in the pit of my stomach as it sank deeper into my flesh, digging its way toward the source of my lifeblood.This man's hands were cold and slippery against my skin as he worked, his touch sending shivers of cold down my spine.With chilling speed, he located the correct spot where my bone marrow lay hidden, my hip bone.His fingers exploring with an almost surgical manner. I tried to pull away, to escape the clutches of his cruel guards, but I was held fast by these people.If this wasn't enough for them to hold me do
"The next time you attempt to outsmart us, think twice. Remember your place, as a woman.No matter how many generations pass, you will always be beneath us, under our feet." He locked eyes with her, his eyes filled with horror, with arrogance, and his voice declaring superiority.The woman sat there, trembling and terrified. As everyone else left the room, she remained, traumatized and unable to move.His words echoed in her ears, haunting her every thought.Meanwhile, Kai sensed that something really bad was about to happen.He continued to attempt to reach out to me, knowing that danger was looming over their head.But Kai wasn't the only one concerned about my disappearance.Enzo, too, was desperately trying to establish contact. Frustrated, he yanked off his earpiece and threw it onto the table, putting on his gloves.His gaze fixated on the brain images of Lily.Just then, Veronica entered the room, her presence finally a distraction from his troubled mind that kept thinking abou
“The old Ferric Burg Citizens are pressing us to eliminate Zaria because they say she’s a walking danger to all of us, so they want us to either cast her out or eliminate her in order to secure the Trinocite?” She answered."Yes, and when Veronica attempted to reason with them, their leader Mathew insisted on having a right to vote.He wants a fair voting process to find out who is on their side. If the votes are against her, they will decide whether to cast her out or eliminate her," she explained."He's been passing senseless speeches, using his range of vocabulary in a twisted way, people will side with him!" Kai shared his doubts.Enzo had an idea and he barged into the room.The meeting room was filled with accusations and reminders of each other's flaws that didn't even have any point."Everyone, calm down!" Enzo's grumbling voice silenced the room."You want a vote? Fine, but we'll do it the old-fashioned way," he declared.Veronica looked at Enzo, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
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
