Chapter 12: The return!
Sam could feel the 'earthquake' getting stronger. The two 'agents' or whoever they where left the room as fast as possible to look for the reason of the noise. Sam was still not able to move. Normally she would jump out of the bed and hide under the table. She lived long enough in Califonia to know what to do during an earthquake. But this actually did not feel like an real earthquake...
Alerts sound up allover the building. Sam had no clue what was going on here. Suddenly, there was an explosion... or anything simular, that was punching against the wall behind her bed and pushed it into the middle of the room. She screamed paniced when electric sparks start to come down from the back of her bed and the cables, that were conected to the bandage around her right arm were ripped off. Sam roared in pain when the bandage was torn off her arm, revealing a syringe under it... used to paralyze her body with drugs...
Danny, still not able to act, could feel the 'earthquake', too. Wind was blowing all around him. And he heared voices again... Voices of people he knew dying 22 years ago... but than he faded away again...
Just a few seconds after the syringe was out of her arm. Sam was able to move at least a little bit again and was able to lift up. The 'earthquake' was over but she could hear screaming and other horrible sounds from outside. Finally she was able to see that she was wearing a white nightdress and that blood was dropping out of her arm and on the white dress. She looked around, hoping to find her own clouthes. But they were gone. Instead, she saw that the wall behind her bed was really a big monitor with some kind of polygraph and other weird electric stuff. A big crack was covering the wall, revealing that it was reinforced. Sam rolled herself out of the bed and crawled to the door.
Another loud bang let the building shake again. A woman screamed in the distance. And just a second later, the wall next to the door, shattered like a window... Sam turned her head away and lift her arm to protect her face from the sharps that rained down on her. Something crashed threw the wall... that was obviously a perfect disguised window, and crashed violently on the ground. When Sam opened her eyes again, she could see that it was a body. The woman she saw just minutes before.
The shocked Sam crawled closer to the woman to look for her. But there was nothing she could have done for her... She was laying there with her hairs and her face soaked in blood and with open eyes withouth breath. Sam screamed when she realized that the woman was not only dead... she was murdered... Killed by the same evil force that was still running havoc in this building. Full of adrenaline, Sam was more and more able to move and finally reached the door when the lights turned off. With some weak emergency lights as the only light-source, she was able to open the now unlocked door...
Danny opened his eyes and saw that he was flying again. Yeah, he was flying again... over Amity Park... yeah, that looks like the rebuild Amity Park he saw in TV... is this his dream again... his favourite dream in which he can fly...
Sam meanwhile found herself in a nightmare. She had to find her way threw the darkness in this unknown building, still weaked from drugs and had to find her husband. Hearing people scream and others beeing possibly killed just like the other woman. In the weak light Sam saw that right under the 'window' to her room was a desk with several monitors. Most were broken but there were also files and notes. While she looked for a flashlight or anything else to use to light her way she found her name, Danny's name and the names of thier children on the files instead...
"What the..." Sam was shocked to find resumes of thier children and even private photos on the desk. As well as medical-documents from thier family doctor. Another loud bang let Sam fell on her knees again when something 'phrased' threw the wall right next to her and tried to grab her...
"Manson..." a male-voice roared. Sam looked up to see... a ghost!
Glowing green skin, burned clouthes and dark green glowing fiery hairs... the ghost that just phrased threw the wall not only called her by her maiden name, it also looked familiar... Almost... like one of the other A-listeners that died in the fire back then. Documents and other stuff all around her start to float and Sam instinctively grabbled something that looked like a pistol...
Sam, who was against weapons and guns and was proud to be on the NRA's blacklist for preventing the teachers of her children's school to wear guns, had absolutely no clue what kind of gun she just found. She only knew that the ghost in front of her will kill her if she not defends herself, or is able to flee. So she pointed on the ghost and pulled the trigger.
A bright blue 'laser' shoot out of the gun... hitting the ghost and zapping it painfully. It was like the ghost felt the pain... what ever it was, the ghost roared in pain when it fell on the ground and shied away from Sam. That was her chance to escape... With the gun in her hand, Sam stormed threw the door and into a dark corridor. It was empty and as dark as the other room but at least there was the emergency lighting that helped her to reach another door... and another body...
Another person, a man this time, also dressed almost entirely in white but impaled with a metal rod in his chest. His suit was soaked with blood. Sam was scared and continued running. There was another door and behind there she found a big hole in the wall. She saw the bright blue sky. Sam just ran. That was her change to get out of this building and call for help. Real help. The police, the army... anyone to help her and her husband to get out of here. She felt the heat of a nearby fire. And she could hear the sirens of fire-trucks in the distance. Suddenly the memories of the fire in Amity Park shot back into her head... they were so strong this time. It was like she alredy experienced this. Sam reached the big hole in the wall. It was big enough that a car could fit into it. So it was easy for her to climb out. And luckily she was in the ground floor...
Sam got just out when someone grabbled her.
"STAY BACK..." another white dressed man screamed when he grabbled Sam, pushed her on the ground and pretended to 'protect' her. "...YOU GO BACK..."
"NO!" Sam screamed and used the gun again to zap the 'agent' directly into his neck.
The man became unconscious. He didn't roared in pain like the ghost just did and just faded away. For a short moment she was afraid that she killed the man. But than she felt that the man was still moving. So she continued running. There was a huge noise from all the alarms and the sirens.
"SAMANTHA FENTON... STOP RIGHT NOW AND..." a loud voice echoed threw the air before it was cut off (propably because some cables got cut or else) and Sam was wondered why these so called agency was suddenly after her...
All around her, green glowing creatures were circling over the sky and one of them was holding something. Something that looked actually like a human body... Sam just saw them vanishing in a cloud but she could swear that the naked man, that was carried away by the monsters looked like Danny's burn-scars covered body...
"OH MY GOD... DANNY!" Sam screamed and start to run again. She looked around. The building, she just left was a multi-story blue-gray concrete building with no identifying logos or signs. There was a large central section of the building that features a set of glass double doors, with a smaller wing section of the building further back on each side.
The building was decorated with white lines and circles, interspersed with sections of more white lines and squares, to give a futuristic effect. Other than a walk leading up to the main doors, there was only empty space surrounding the building. The whole facility was enclosed by black fences with barbwire. Smoke was rising up from the big holes that were in the building now and she could see fire. This was never a normal hospital. This was a prison! A weird horror-movie prison. Sam was finally able to reach the fence, when a fire-truck drove around the corner. Sam was not able to see the city name on the truck. But according to the surrounding landscape, it was obvious that they were not in thier hometown anymore...
"HELP! PLEASE HELP ME!" Sam screamed when the fire-fighters left thier truck and saw her. "PLEASE HELP ME... THEY KIDNAPPED US!"
The fire-fighers saw her and shied away immediately. Looking on her in disgust and fear. Sam had no clue what was going on. It was like they were ordered to ignore her...
Suddenly something grabbled her from behind and lift her up into the air. Sam screamed when she could feel that the ground under her feet was gone and her body start to fly. Fire-fighters start to scream in horror when they saw Sam flying away. The white night-dress, she was forced into, got struck in the barbwire and ripped. Sam could feel that her leg got cut, too. But that was not important now. More important was that she litterally got kidnapped again.
Sam screamed as loud as possible for help. The weird 'laser-gun' she had fell off her hands and land in the mud right behind the fence, so the fire-fighters couldn't grab it to help her. Somehow she was able to grab something. Sam did not know what she just able to grab. It was hard and cold and felt like metal. She just hold it as strong as possible and could feel the something trying to tear of the dress. Sam kicked with her legs as strong as possible. Hoping to hit it. She opened her eyes and only saw Dash again...
"MANSON..." the Dash-looking-ghost screamed. His hairs looking like flames, the skin green and the eyes as red as the devils.
"DASH?!" Sam realized.
There was no doubt. It was definetely Dash. A bully who died 22-years ago due to his own idiocy and his arrogance... And he pulled various others to death, too. Sam had no clue how he escaped the hell but she would not allow that he pulls her, her husband or her unborn child with him back there. Sam continued kicking. This time, trying to hit his face and somehow she was able to kick him into his face, she never liked anyway. 'Dash' roared in pain and finally let her off. Sam crahsed down and finally realized that it was the ladder of the fire-truck she was able to grab. 'Dash' was still floating over her, trying to grab her again... before he got sprayed with a fire-extinguisher.
Sam looked down. The fire-fighters were horrified. They had obviously no clue who or what that monster was. So the best thing they were able to do was taking a normal fire-extinguisher and spray him. 'Dash' became so mad that he start to attack the fire-fighters now... Sam had to watch in horror how 'ghost-Dash' attacked the fire-fighter, grabbled him and smashed him on the ground violently like a football. His helmet shattered and blood was splashing over the street. Sam screamed in horror again when she slipped off the roof of the fire-truck and was now hanging on the side. The candle... she was able to scare Dash away with a candle in that castle... that's it...
"FIRE!" she screamed to the shocked fire-fighters. "HE IS AFRAID OF FIRE..."
"What is that...?" a fire-fighter screamed before 'Dash' grabbled him, too and threw him against the fence. The fire-fighter roared in pain when he hit one of the poles and crashed on the concrete-ground.
Sam jumped down on the road and ran to the door of the fire-truck. Begging that there was a lighter, a match or maybe a photo of a fire... something that will scare this monster away...
Danny meanwhile opened his eyes again, he was still flying. He saw houses... they reminded him the houses in the neighbourhood he grew up in... Fairview, the district of Amity Park where he lived with his parents. It really looks a little bit like it. And than there was a plain field. He saw roads. Roads surrounded by wild vegetation. A big field of roads and wild vegetation surrounded by another high-fence with warning-signs... A free field surrounded by residental-areas... It was cold. He could feel the wind on his skin so clearly. It was like he had no clouthes on. A person... a person... that was never a human that was floating there right over that 'crossroad'. Dressed in a white-suit but with a weird black-haircut and with glowing 'greenish' skin. Like... a vampire?! A floating vampire!?
Danny flew closer to it. His mind became clearer with every second. This area... really looks like his old neighbourhood in Amity Park... The streets... the landscape... the houses were gone and it was looking like a jungle... but he could swear that this is his old neighbourhood. But a floating vampire is new...!
"Welcome, home!" it said to him with a wide grin. "Oh, I know the guys in white are ruthless, but that they go that far..."
"Wha... who..." Danny was still too dazed. But he finally realized that he was naked. "My clouthes...?!"
The 'vampire' or what ever it was crossed his arms and looked on two 'beeings' left and right of Danny. Suddenly two 'people' appeared next to him out of nowhere. Holding him in thier grip. "Did you find him like this, or did you thought you have to live up your high-school time again?... Hello, Daniel... I thought you wanted to see your old home again..."
"My home...?" Danny looked around. Was that really his old street...? Why the houses were never rebuild? "You call me Daniel... Vlad...?"
Sam franticly searched the cabin of the fire-truck for something that makes fire. Hoping that one of the fire fighter's smokes or has at least matches. Another firefighter was thrown threw the air, this time crashing directly into the windshield of the fire-truck. Sam shrieked when the windshield shattered and a flap of a storage compartment opened. An open box with ciggarettes and a lighter fell in the footwell of the passengers-seat. Without hestitation she took the lighter, jumped out of the cabin and turned it on.
Seeing the little flame of the lighter, 'Dash' start to scream in panic and flew away. Sam was relieved. But still in panic. Because she had still no clue where she was...
"THESE THINGS ARE AFRAID OF FIRE!" Sam yelled to the surviving fire-fighters and threw the lighter in the hands of one of them before she ran away.
"HEY, STOP...!" one of the fire-fighters yelled, but Sam knew that they would arrest her.
She had no clue why, but she knew that these 'guys-in-white' must have to do something with it. Sam ran down the street, passing other fire-trucks and onlookers. A combi was forced to fulfill an emergency-break when Sam ran accross the street. Forcing the woman and the child inside to scream. Sam continued running. But the driver of the combi left her car...
"MA'AM, ARE YOU OKAY?!"
Sam turned around immediately. She had to get away from here, at any cost. "MISS... MISS, please... Get me to the next town!"
"What happened? Wait a minute..." the woman said and looked closer on Sam. "Manson? Sam Manson?"
"Yes! Ehm... Well, I am married now... you are...?" Sam asked and suddenly she remembered. First she did not recognize the woman. But than finally she realized that they went to Casper High, together. "M... Mia Fredericson?"
"Yeah... we went to school togehter before the fire..." the woman answered.
It was true. They were in two classes together in thier last year. But now it was not the time to reminisce. "GET ME TO THE NEXT POLICE STATION... MY HUSBAND WAS KIDNAPPED!"
"WHAT?" Mia screamed shocked. But Sam already entered the combi on the front seat.
"I'll explain you later... just drive..." Sam yelled and her former classmate entered the car again, just in time before some guys in white-suits arrived to arrest all of them. She could hear them screaming but luckily her former classmate was helpful and seemed to believe her.
They drove threw a hilly forest area. There was no sight of a town or anything else nearby...
"Kidnapped?" Mia suddenly asked. The situation was very weird.
Sam did not answer. She still had no clue where she was. There was a little girl sitting on the rearseat, looking on Sam with big eyes and like she was ghost. Sam guessed her around 4 or 5 years at most. Mia's daughter, maybe. She was too young to realize that they were in danger and Sam was mad on herself for pulling that little girl into it. Music was playing in the radio but without any mention of the channel's name. So she had no clue where they were.
"Where are we!"
"What to you mean? We are in Illinois!" Mia answered.
"Where in Illionis?" Sam asked again.
"Amity Park!" Mia answered... and Sam was shocked.
"Am... Amity Park?!"
"Yeah, just a mile or two away!" Mia answered. "This way is Elmerton, down there is Amity Park. After that corner we should see it..."
"No... It can't be... they dragged us all the way here..."
"Who? What are you talking about?"
"I am living in Belvidere! And these 'guys-in-white' kidnapped us to bring us back to... POLICE-CAR! STOP BY THAT POLICE-CAR!" Sam screamed when she spotted a police-car parking by the street.
'Amity-Park-Police-Department' was written on it. That was a prove that she was really near Amity Park. The forest-area, south-west of Amity-Park... There they are. Suddenly she recognized it. She could only hope that the police will believe her. As soon as the combi stopped, Sam jumped out of the car and towards the police-car. The two policemen inside only saw a frantic woman in a white nightdress with bloodstains and without shoes and they knew that this was the woman, they were looking for...
"Gosh... I am so glad to see you..." Sam said relieved, thinking to get help now.
"Ma'am... you come with us..."
"What... but you have to help me! My husband was kidnapped and some creepy guys held me hostage..."
"Yeah, yeah... don't worry... we get you back..." one of the police-men said, trying to grab Sam's arm and push her on the rear seat on the rear seat of the police-car.
"NO! That is some kind of lab where they experiment on people. And some of thier experiments escaped and kidnapped my husband." Sam screamed while she was handcuffed and forced into the police-car. "MIA... TELL THEM..."
"Ma'am, do you know this woman?" the other police-man asked.
Mia told everything what happened in the past two minutes. But what she told them only convinced the policeman much more to arrest Sam and get her back to that prison...
"NO... Please, listen..." Sam tried to defend herself but it was useless... The two policemen handcuffed her and forced her on the backseat of the police-car.
Danny meanwhile had it difficult to keep his eyes open. It was like someone gave him a high dose of drugs. There was no other explanation why he is still so calm, with the 'vampire' in front of him and totally naked between two obvious 'ghosts' that looked pretty familiar to him...
"What kind of drugs did they give to you? Hello...?! Wake up...!" the 'vampire' said. Danny really tried to. This dream became weirder with every second. "He is totally wasted... Let's take him down to the lab. I want to know why this had to happen!"
After these words, Danny could see how all 'ghosts' kind of changed and than sank into the concrete-ground like it was water... And he sank into the ground with them and suddenly he was surrounded by darkness again. Nobody knew that two local teenagers, living in a house right next to the restricted area, were able to see them before they vanished in the ground and filmed everything with thier parent's camcorder...What a lucky coincidence!
Sam meanwhile desperately tried to convince the two police-men to believe her...
"Please, I am telling the truth! They kidnapped us after some freaky 'ghost-incident' in our house. They have there some kind of laboratories and make experiments. And than ghost's have taken my husband and flew with him away..."
"You really want us to believe that?" one of the police-men asked.
"We recieved the information that a woman in a white nightdress set a research-facility on fire..."
"WOAH... That's a lie!" now Sam understood what was going on here. The 'guys-in-white' told the police that she is a criminal who escaped thier custody, just to keep sure that she is brought back to them if she is able to flee. "They kidnapped and drugged me. And my husband is still missed..."
"Do you have proofs?" one of the police-men asked.
Suddenly there was a radio message comming in: 'To all units! We have recieved douzens of calls about a naked man, flying over the south disctrics of Amity Park...'
"YOU HEAR IT!" Sam screamed angrilly. "Oh, my gosh... how dare they to humilliate Danny that much..."
"That proves nothing!" one of the police-men said.
But then there was another message comming in: 'To all units: The flying naked man was seen in the exclusion-zone in North-Fairview... A witness claims that he was not alone there..."
"Please... I have no clue what they will do to him..." Sam begged. "My husband has health-issues, I am pregnant, our house was invaded by these creatures, please call someone..."
Finally the police-man took the microphone of the radio: "Central control, this is car three-five-one... We just arrested a mentally confused woman, who claims that the naked man is her husband..."
"MENTALLY CONFUSED!" Sam screamed enraged just before a loud bang echoed threw her airs and the only thing she could see was that the two police-men on the front-seats vanished...
Sam grashed against the divider, that seperated the back-seat from the front row and therefor her from the two police-men, and could feel that the car start to spin around. She screamed... she couldn't see the police-men anymore... she only saw another floating monster, right next to her...
Please Review and keep well!
