A/N: I apologize that this has only OC characters. I assure you that these guys will probably not be seen later on in the story, thus they will remain nameless. If you wish to give them names, then go ahead. Just know that they won't be in here long.

On another note, this is my first attempt at horror, so I apologize if it doesn't meet to your standards.

Her heeled shoes clicked across the tile floors at a fast pace. Her brown hair flowed behind her, swaying left and right from the black band it hung from. Her golden eyes, framed by thin black glasses, peered ahead with an unwavering gaze. She paid no attention to the doctors rushing past her, to the nurses who quickly stepped out of her way. The only thing that mattered to her currently was the clipboard tucked between her folded arm and her breast. No... It wasn't the clipboard. It was what the clipboard held, the papers firmly locked into place. The people rushing around her, the patients awaiting to be transported away, the florescent lights that illuminated the white hall... None of that mattered. It was of no importance to her.

The only thing - or rather, the only one - that managed to capture her attention was a man who had run up to her side and held out folded piece of cloth for her. Without even looking at him, she grabbed the cloth and shoved the clipboard into his chest. "Are all the patients out of this wing?" Her voice was strong and clear. It matched the air of superiority around her.

The man gave a nod, dark brown locks flicking at the motion. He held the clipboard in his hands as he looked it over. "All the patients have been evacuated to the loading dock and are waiting for their transportation. Three helicopters have lifted off and are unloading a few patients at St. Alice hospital as we speak."

The woman's eyes narrowed and her lips curled into a sneer. Unfolding the lab coat, she swung it around and slipped it on. "That's not far enough. We don't know if we'll be able to contain this thing in such a small area. Tell the hospital to evacuate further. I want a fifty mile radius around this site," she declared. Her voice remained unwavered, and her footsteps just the same. She lifted the badge dangling around her neck, showing its information o the two doctors standing near the door she approach. The both stiffened as one nodded and quickly swiped his own card. The red light flickered to green and the bolts inside the door clicked open. The door swung open and all four rushed through.

The woman stopped, her eyes focusing on the youngest of them all. She grabbed the clipboard from him as it was handed to her. "Get yourself out of here. I want you and your family as far away from here as possible," she demanded. The young doctor nodded and hurriedly rushed away. As soon as the door was swung closed once more, she continued on her way, her high heels clicking. The two doctors followed her at the same speed.

They continued on through the short hallway. She swiped her card at another door that clicked open for her and her followers. Beyond that door was a metal stairway, spiraling down. She took no time to quickly descend these steps. It was at least a few stories of climbing down before she finally set foot on tile, a large door with only a small glass window shown at the end of the short hallway. She pushed on, opening the door just as the other two had and stepping through.

The room was large, larger than any of the other rooms located within the facility. A large balcony wrapped around the whole place, a sealed room on the other side of the balcony. Stairways could be found to the lower level, where a large dome could be seen instantly. This dome was gray in color due to the strong metal used to keep its shape, with no seen windows. The only way in or out was by a door facing south. The computers circling this dome were all connected to one another, the cords focusing towards the structure. Chatter echoed through the large room, accompanied by the pounding of feet and shuffling of papers.

One man, the head of the operation as she knew, rushed up to her side and handed her another clipboard, replacing it with the one she currently had. He motioned for her to follow as he quickly spoke, "His circumstances have changed since we gave you those papers-"

She cut him off, her gaze cold and calculating. "You gave me those two hours ago."

He gave an exasperated sigh, traveling down the stairs and leading her towards the dome. "I know that. But his activity has dramatically increased since them. His levels have risen past what they usually are," he explained. His eyes flicked between the woman and the dome as he slowed to a stop. His lips were chapped yet wet with saliva, a clear sign that he had been nervous about this for possibly the whole day. He handed the clipboard he held to a passing man, who merely nodded and continued on. "He hasn't shown this much activity ever since we brought him here. He's been lashing out at the structure for all of today."

"I know that already. The reports said that he tried clawing at it around 09:00."

"But that's not all." The woman's gaze flicked up. He had caught her attention enough to pull her away from flipping through the pages. "He's been showing even more activity. He's trying to connect with the outside world." He rushed toward the nearest monitor, the woman following quickly. He pointed to one of the wavering bars. "This here indicates his brain waves. They've been spiking up for about an hour now. The dome's been holding it back, but this here-" He cut himself off so he could tap at the bar at the other side of the screen. "This shows the strength of the dome. We've managed to cut him off every time he tried to get out, but it's weakening our systems drastically. It's gone down by 5% just this hour, and it's still increasing. We're already at 75%."

The woman's eyes widened. She nearly dropped the clipboard she held, her stance swaying. She quickly caught herself and regained her composure. "How much more time until he's out?" she demanded.

He hesitated. His eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the screen. "I don't know. It depends on his activity and if he keeps this u-"

She growled in frustration and pushed his shoulder, twirling him to face her. She grabbed onto the front of his shirt, her eyes narrowing. "How long?" she growled.

Sweat ran down the side of his face. Fear showed clearly through his eyes. "I-if he continues at this rate, then I estimate he'll be out by the end of tomorrow."

She pushed him back, sending him toppling over the desk behind him. She looked around with hard eyes. "I want everyone to put their best efforts into keeping this thing contained! Issue a mandatory evacuation of the city! I want everyone out of here by 20:00 tomorrow! Get a construction crew in here and put a wall around the city! No one gets in or out, understood?" she barked. She looked back down to the doctor sitting on the desk, a sticky note stuck to his shoulder. "You. Get the big guys." She turned on her heel and quickly began to walk away, her lab coat billowing behind her once again.

The man rushed to stand and scrambled to her side. "By the big guys, do you mean..."

"Yes. I want you to send in the world."
