Here's chapter 10, ready to go!
I woke up on an uncomfortable brass bed with bright lights shining in my eyes. I heard two men speaking in hushed voices. "I think that the bitch is crazy, but there's no way that I'm going to stand in her way." "Right? She has soldiers posted at every door! She really doesn't want the test subjects to get out of here." I looked around and saw, through my window, that there were guards posted everywhere. "Think we should check on the girl?" The first male asked. "Sure." I panicked and fell down on my bed. I heard an electronic beep and my door slid open. "She's still asleep... the lady wants us to take her blood... so while I get the stuff, can you watch her?" "Why? I doubt she's going to move." You've got another thing comin' bub. I thought as I heard the first guard leave. "Oh, you can't possibly be as tough as they say you are." My eyes flew open and my hand shot out, landing square on his chest and sending him flying backwards. His back hit the circiut breaker in the wall, which knocked out the electricity and unlocked the doors of the facility. He was reaching for his radio. I got off of the bed, lifted my leg over my head and bringing my bare foot down on his head. "I'm tougher than you think I am, cockhole." The other guard came in with the equipment. "Oh God! She's awake!" I roundhoused him before he could grab his gun and once he hit the floor, I dropped to my knees, his head between them and twisted, snapping his neck. The emergency lights came on slowly, allowing me to better see my surroundings. I opened the door to my room, but not before taking Guard One's PDA and gun. "Alright... now to find Josh..." I saw a guard open another door and followed him. Beyond the door was a room full of guards, which promptly turned to stare at me.
I heard several shouts in Russian and English as fifteen guards came charging at me. I ducked, causing the bayonet from one of the guard's guns to impale the other one, I grabbed one who was shooting and he began shooting several others, then I snapped his neck. When that settled only one remained. I emptied the magnum that I got off of the guard. "You know, they're going to turn you into monsters someday, inject you with the virus." He cocked his head. I rolled my eyes and said it again in Russian and his eyes widened. I tossed the empty gun at his feet. "Do it... put the gun to your forehead and kill yourself. It's what you want to do." He grabbed the gun and continuously pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. "You bitch..." He muttered. I whispered something in his ear and he gasped, his eyes widening. I slammed his head into the wall as hard as I could, killing him instantly. I checked the monitors and saw that Josh was moving through the halls without a weapon. I typed in the guard's security code from his PDA on the computer and then I could control the cameras, but I still had no way of helping Josh, or did I? I turned on the microphone to the intercom and yelled in English and again in Russian that the test subjects had been found evacuating through the garbage chute. I saw several guards run towards the trash room, which I then proceeded to lock once several guards were in there. "Choke on that... now to find the way out of this prison." I moved from the monitor and looked for a door, but only found one, which was locked with several locks and passcodes. "Jesus... I don't really want to have to go through the trouble of unlocking all of this... well, time for Plan B." I looked around and found an air duct nearby, which I then bashed in and crawled through.
I finally made it out of the duct and opened the door in front of me. Lockers were lined up on the walls and I began opening them, trying to find some gear. I opened the last locker on the right and found an outfit that might fit me and one that might fit a boy. I pulled the outfit out of the locker and took off the thin hospital gown that I had on. I put it on without much thought, hoping that it was tough enough to withstand bullets. I looked in the mirror on the locker door and was surprised. Instead of the naïve girl that I was in New York, but I was someone else entirely. I was wearing a white tee and black leather pants over the suit and then I threw on a black leather jacket. I put on a bulletproof vest under the shirt. "Better..." Just then, Josh fell from the ceiling.
He was covered in blood and sweat, but I didn't care. I hugged him as if he were a friend that had gone away for a long time. "Josh... Oh my God, I'm so glad to see you!" He hugged back, but was silent. "Alright, soldier, let's get you changed and on our way." He nodded and went to the locker to change. Once he was done I noticed the fact that his outfit was similar to mine in several ways. I looked at him and realized that we could camouflage ourselves if we hid among groups of them, but most of them were still in the garbage room. "Alright, follow me and we'll get out of here soon." He nodded and we left the locker room.
Alright, another chapter done. I won't be able to another until after Christmas, so I want to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and have a safe and happy New Year!
