The click of boots tapped against the white floor, and echoed through the corridor in the hospital. The origins of the sounds came from Whispers, as he power-walked toward the male nurse surrounded by his men. They parted to reveal the frightful nurse.
"Where is she?" Whispers demanded.
"W-Who?" He stammered.
Whispers grabbed him by the neck. "Blonde, 5'5, accent."
"I-I-I-" he stammered. Whispers growled before he threw the nurse to the ground.
"Search this floor. Search this hospital. Just find her!" He ordered.
Whispers voice echoed to the corridors to the storage room, Kala stood in. Kala with shaky hands put the rest of the supplies in the backpack. Her heart pumped as she headed to the door and peeked through. The elevator was only a few steps away, but with Whispers down the hall she'd be seen.
Kala prayed that the elevator would open and she could duck in and get to Riley. The door opened with a ping, and Kala burst through the door; glad her prayers had be heard. Kala knew she'd been seen as she heard the rapid click of boots coming after her.
Whispers charged toward the elevator door, as he saw Kala push all the buttons on the panel. Her eyes were lowered. Whispers felt the whispers of a bullet brush mere inches from himself. He stopped to a halt.
"Don't shoot!" He ordered.
Kala hid behind the panel as the doors shut. Kala stood, shocked as her eyes focused on the bullet-hole that had landed an inch from her head.
"Are you okay" Riley grunted. She stood hunched over clutching at her stomach.
Rileys presence woke, Kala from her shock. Kala wrapped her arms around Riley. "I'm fine. I've got the supplies. I'm coming to you."
Whispers stood outside the elevator and read the direction of the elevator. "Search every floor beneath this one! Ryan you stay with me!" He ordered.
The soldiers spread out. A fit bald man in his mid-thirties remained.
"You don't have much to worry about, sir. Our men have all the exits covered. They are sitting ducks."
"That's why I'm worried. They have been evading me for years, and now they let themselves be trapped. Something is happening."
The elevator doors opened to the basement for, Kala. Kala could hear the echoes Riley groans. Kala's heart ached from the sound of it. She ran down the corridor to where she had left, Riley. They all had decided this was the best place for, Riley to give birth to the next cluster.
Nomi had looked at the blueprints of the hospital, and found that tunnels that ran beneath the hospital from the hospital, so they could have a quick getaway. There was also left-over medical equipment like the gurney, Riley laid on.
She glistened with a damp sweat and gripped at the bars of the gurney, so tight her knuckles were whiter than her already pale skin.
Kala brushed Rileys hair from her forehead. "Kala?" Riley asked.
"I'm here. I've got the supplies." Kala soothed.
Riley started to weep. "It hurts."
Kala grabbed Rileys hand. "I know"
Nomi placed her hand over their hands. "We know, but you have to do it now."
Riley nodded, as tears ran down her face. She focused on the knot in her gut, and began to unfurl it. Riley spasmed, as she felt her nerves turn into ice. Riley gasped as she saw the new cluster.
Tomas, a young Swiss chef with black hair and amber eyes stood in the chaos of a five star kitchen. The steam in the kitchen caused a damp sweat to form on his forehead, while he chopped carrots.
Tomas stopped and looked out of the service window of the kitchen. His eyes zero in on a young woman with pale skin and blonde hair. She looked at him with such love, he became immobilised.
A blue-eyed Parisian blonde named, Maggie laid on the bed in a tight red dress. The man beside her counted out the Euros he had to pay her for the night. She felt uncomfortable on the cheap motel bed, but she ignored the discomfort.
Maggie bolts up at the sudden appearance of a blonde pale woman at the edge of the bed, who looked at her with a knowing expression.
A homeless Australian woman named, Sullivan with light brown hair and dark blue eyes sat at a bus stop, while the rain poured down hard from the dimming sky. She watched the fog erupt from her breath into the cold air.
Sullivan's eyes focused from the fog on to the woman in the middle of the street. There eyes pour into one another.
A bulky Scot with lengthy red hair named Michael charged through the field with a rugby ball tucked under his arm. He dodged a few of the opposing players to the cheers of the crowd. Michael looked to be clear, but caught the sight of a young woman on the field. He stopped and got side tackled into the grass.
Michael felt the air leave his lungs,and the ball leave his grip. His tackler stole the ball, while he laid on his side staring and the woman in confusion.
At the end of a dead-end street near a cliff at the beach. A petite Brazillian woman named Marisa climbed out of a green racing car to a crowd of people. The cheers faded away, as her eyes were draw to the burning horizon, and she saw the silhouette of a woman and her faint haunted expression.
An English medical student with strawberry blonde hair and amber eyes named Beth sat on a park bench with her head in her hands. Tears dropped on to the pavement beneath her.
Without thinking Beth looked up to see a woman stood across from her with a sympathetic expression and love in her eyes.
Shio, a young Filipino-Japanese man with spiky black hair, anchor beard and dark eyes stood outside a coup. He was yelling with the crowd at the battler roosters in the coup. His fist clenched around the ticket in his hand.
The cheers began to fade, and his harsh expression softened at the instant appearance of a pale blonde woman in the middle of the coup. Shio froze, gobsmacked at this beautiful ghost.
Ripples of swamp water formed in the wake of a tin boat driving upstream. In the back sat, Daniel a young blonde brown eyed man in a tank top and short. His eyes were focused on the bloddy dampness protruding from the tarp wrapped body.
His hands were shaky, and his face scrunched, as he attempted to fight back the sobs he was desperate to make. He's fearful of the response from the driver if he did.
Daniel turned his head toward the shore and catches sight of a blonde woman. Time appeared to slow down as the boat drove past her. He felt safer the longer he looked, but when he turned around to see her from the end of the boat, she was gone.
Riley came back to herself to see the ceiling moving. The only things that remained constant were Kala and Nomi.
"Did you see them?" Nomi questioned.
Tears ran down, Riley's face and she smiled. "They were beautiful."
