Sanctuary
The weather had cooled drastically. Everyone had forgotten about the events of three days ago. Not much had happened since then. But..something lingered at the back of Emma's mind, something strong, and something powerful, but her senses could not grip on to this for long enough to clarify the image. She just didn't know.
A small figure walked through the lone passageways of the sanctuary, alone, afraid, shaking. Hurt and confused, the figure sent out one last attempt for help, then collapsed.
It was Shalimar who found him. Lying in a crumpled heap on the floor, face laced with gashes and bruises, blood dripping silently from his neck. Her first instinct was to check around for agents. For one wild moment she thought that the GSA had found the sanctuary, but her feral instincts told her no. This was a child, and a pretty sick looking one as well. She activated her comm. link ring and buzzed Adam. "Adam, something's seriously bad here. I'm in the south corridor, hurry! Bring a first aid kit."
A child of about 14 lay unconscious on a medical bed, scanners and drips and electrical equipment everywhere. The team where assembled around the lab and Emma sat deep in thought, floods of emotions flowing over her. Shalimar stood close by the child, watching him intently. Suddenly, he woke up and let out a loud, piercing scream.
