A/N: Nothing important to say
Chapter 6
The dream turned out to be a horrible nightmare. Isaac was dreaming about him standing outside his old apartment. He was wearing a red jack with blue jeans. His hair was short and combed nicely. He walked towards the door and put his hand on the door knob.
"Don't open the door." Isaac's dream self said but his words weren't coming out meanwhile his visual form opened the door and went inside. Isaac followed himself up the stairs. He wished he could do something, do something to prevent this from ever happening but there was nothing he could do to prevent what was going to happen. Isaac watched as he opened the door. Isaac followed himself inside. What he saw almost made his heart crawl up his throat. Sitting there was his family all enjoying the TV. Back then the combine allowed television but only reruns of shows nothing like the news. Isaac watched his little sister Sophie color in her favorite coloring book. She was coloring a bear in the woods . Isaac started to smile but suddenly he heard a loud bang coming from the door. When his dad went to go get the door it was kicked open.
Simon had been laying on the bed navigating the maps. He was trying to find all routes available to him in case the main one did not work. He was focused into his work when he suddenly heard Isaac scream.
"No no please don't hurt her please." Isaac was saying. There were tears rolling down his eyes. Simon jumped out of the bed and grabbed hold of Isaac's shoulders and began shaking him. Suddenly Isaac's eyes flew open. His eyes were bloodshot as if he were a hunted animal. Simon gave Isaac a good slap on the cheek which seemed to refocus him. Isaac shook his head and squinted trying to get his bearings.
"Isaac what's wrong why were you screaming?" Simon asked. Isaac shuddered violently and remained quiet. "Did something happen to you?" Simon asked. Isaac slowly nodded his head. "Something traumatic I suppose?" Simon questioned. Isaac nodded again. "What was it?" Simon asked. Isaac sighed heavily and then spoke. "When I was eighteen…..I lost my parents to the combine." Simon nodded. "Hmmm and you still have nightmares about it huh." Isaac sigh heavily and replied.
"Yeah….look I don't really want to talk about it right now." Simon nodded and spoke with a sense of understanding.
"I see well don't worry I won't pressure you into anything." Isaac shifted into a comfortable position. Simon went back to plotting the route. None of them spoke for the rest of the night.
It was daylight and the duo were in the car riding along the ruins of the highway. They were trying to find the fastest way to Simon's destination. Isaac said they should get off the highway in fear of the combine or resistance discovering them. Simon suggested that they stay on the highway until they reach the canals. Every time Isaac asked where they were heading Simon would just say that he has a friend in an outpost. After that he would ignore any other questions Isaac would ask. Finally Simon stopped the car. The highway had a broken section that would be impossible to cross. Isaac got out of the car and walked towards the edge. He peered over and didn't like what he saw. The opening led straight down to the bottom. He saw the missing piece of the highway, it was submerged in seawater. Isaac stepped away from the edge. He turned to Simon who was still in the car. Isaac yelled.
"Dude there is no way we could drive across the bridge is completely broken and the fall would probably kill us." Simon replied.
"Get in I have an idea." Isaac jogged to the car and got inside. He looked at Simon and asked.
"What's your idea?" Simon put his seat belt on and Isaac followed suit. He then began backing up the car. Isaac then asked.
"What are you…" Suddenly Simon slammed his foot on the accelerator. The wheels screeched and the car jerked forward. Isaac felt like his face was peeling off. He grabbed the arm rest very tightly. The car was gaining speed and the abyss was getting closer and closer.
"Simon are you outta your Damm mind?" yelled Isaac. Suddenly he felt weightless. The car was in midair. Right now everything felt in slow motion. Suddenly as the car made contact with the road again Isaac felt his breakfast crawl up his throat. He swallowed it back down giving him a violent shudder. Simon paid no attention to this as he now looked ecstatic at the stunt he had just pulled off. Isaac shook his head and not rested his head against the seat and decided he could catch a nap without Simon doing any more crazy stunts.
Isaac awoke to realize the car was stopped. He was at some sort of facility. Isaac looked to find Simon gone. Isaac exited the car with caution. He kept his hand on the USP Match. He began to talk to the entrance of the facility. He looked at the door and noticed something wrong immediately. The door looked like it had been kicked off its hinges. Isaac now pulled out the USP. He aimed it at the door, prepared to shoot anything and proceeded inside.
Some of the lights in the building were flickering. Isaac noticed blood staining all over the wall. Some of it was smeared but other things he could see were hand prints.
"What the hell happened here?" Isaac asked himself. He was now in the office section of the building. There were desks pilled on each other forming a barricade. Isaac kept shifting his eyes nervously around the room. There were signs of struggle but where were the bodies? Isaac shifted his head slightly to the right to catch a glimpse of a young girl. Isaac now turned his attention to where the girl was standing. On instinct he ran after her. He followed her to a hallway with doors lined up on the sides and one door at the end. He saw the girl enter the door and decided to follow her. He put his hand on the handle and turned it, opening the metal door with a loud creak. Isaac scanned the room. There was nothing in the room except for a window with bars and a large wood closet. He figured the girl was hiding in there. Isaac said softly.
"Hey little girl are you in there, come on out I'm not going to hurt you." There was no reply. Isaac took a step towards the closet and heard something move inside. He took another step…and another. He was now five inches from the closet.
"it's okay I'm not going to…." Isaac began to say. Suddenly something popped out of the closet and caused Isaac to fall backwards. Suddenly the object fell on Isaac. Isaac screamed and rolled to the sided and crawled away from the object. When he felt his back touch the corner of the wall he began hyperventilating. That's when he got a good look at what it was. The object was a skeleton of a small child.
Suddenly Isaac felt like vomiting, his entire body was stressed. He began hyperventilating again. Looking madly from left to right Isaac saw the walls were closing in on him. He was becoming entombed in the ever darkening room. He closed his eyes and let out a scream.
A/N: Well sorry that took a while I'll be sure to get back on track thanks for the views.
