When I opened my mouth, no sound came from it. "What is it?" I vaguely heard Brian ask. Obviously, he hadn't seen it. Then in my totally shocked stupor I felt an arm around me. It was Kevin. "Don't touch me!" I wanted to scream. But I could not speak. At that moment, I knew that nothing could ever prepare me for what was going to happen next so I whispered to myself, "We are all going to die," Of course Kevin heard what I said and replied "No." and walked away. All of a sudden, the entire complex shut down and locked itself. Right before it closed I made a mad dash for the door. 5 seconds before it closed something on the other side that looked like a creature from a nightmare jumped at the steel door hitting it hard. I stopped almost to late and skidded towards the door.

Just before the door closed on my legs someone pulled me away. I turned around expecting to see Brian or maybe even Vencor, but it was Kevin. I was almost to scared to feel him hold on to me longer then was necessary. Brian walked up and grabbed him by the shoulder. "Let go of her." He said. When I heard him a thought drifted through my mind, "Is he jealous?" for a moment I was stunned. Why was he jealous? part of me wondered. The other part almost wriggled with glee.

"Wh.. what was that thing?" I managed to choke out. "It was the Rival," said Anya, "the lock down must have let it loose. And another thing, where the fuck are the lights?" We got up and searched for away out of the main hall. Amber found the lights. When she turned them on the sight that met our eyes was appalling. The whole floor was coated with blood and bodies. The others who had (instead of me and Kevin) searched the island. Mike the computer expert and Lisa walked in and Mike almost fainted. Lisa threw up and I did not blame her. A voice rang out of nowhere " You can't stay alive much longer if you don't move." "What was that?" I asked. "The Black Queen, the second rendition of the security system at the Hive." Mike answered.

The Black Queen kept taunting us as we tried to find an exit that wasn't blocked. "You are all being totally ridiculous." She kept saying. Finally, I lost it and screamed at her "If you're so smart then where is the exit?" " I locked the whole complex down. There is no exit." She said as if it were obvious. Fine I thought. Just peachy. I broke off from the rest of the group and went to find the labs. Or the surveillance room so I could find out what had happened. When I started up the stairs Anya went with me. "Where are we going?" she inquired. "To find the labs or the surveillance room." I replied. I found a large metal door that required a passkey to get in. Anya took out her jackknife and ran it through to short the door. I stepped into the room. It was the surveillance room! I called to the rest of the team as Anya rewound the tape in the player. What we watched was horrifying.
