Chapter 2: The Three Doors of Fate
As they stepped into the cool hallway Jon Noto could feel the difference in temperature; it got noticeable colder. Jon who had tried to prepare for anything carried his handgun along with the others. Matthew Ryan led the way, his Desert Eagle focused right in front of him as if watching for some unseen foe. Matt was calm and confident. He didn't know why Matt trusted everyone. He had known them for a little over two hours and all ready he trusted them. Jon unconsciously shook his head, trying to get the questions out of his head.
As the neared the end of the hallway they noticed that there were three doors at the end of the hallway; each with a different color, and each with a different insignia on it. "Okay, let's split up into three groups," Matt said as they reached the end of the hallway. "Lain, you and Tom take the blue door, Pierre and Jon take the white door, and me and Pedro will take the black door," Matthew said valiantly. Jon, hearing something pop, looked to his left and found that Pierre's knuckles where turning pale white from the grip at which he was holding his Berretta as Matthew spoke. My luck I'd get paired with the psycho killer thought Jon as he tried to pay attention to what Matt was saying. We'll meet back here in ten minutes whether we find anything or not, understand?" Matthew said closing any argument that might have come. They all nodded their heads preparing their selves for the worst.
Tom and Lain slid silently through the navy blue door with a wave insignia on it. Before Tom could take a second step into the room, the smell of decay swept over him like a tidal wave. "What the Hell is that smell?" Tom whispered. "I smelled this once, when I was at a slaughter house, it's the smell of rot and decay," Lain said to no one in particular. After a couple of seconds Tom regained his composure and took a look around the room. If you could call it a room, it was more of an aquarium than anything. In fact, that's all it was, just one big aquarium. Huge glass tanks filled with water were scattered around the room. They were the size of Olympic size swimming pools, but they were easily 20 feet high. They also looked as if they had been unattended for a while, because the water was a murky green color. "What were they doing down here?" Tom said as he tapped on the glass. Tom jumped as Lain placed her hand on his shoulder. "I don't think it's such a good idea to tap on the glass, haven't you been to a zoo?" she said jokingly.
As Tom returned to checking the room Lain heard a faint noise coming from the tank that Tom had just turned from. The noise was a popping noise.like something breaking.like GLASS BREAKING! She turned just in time to see the glass shatter and all the water from the tank cascade onto the floor. Lain hurriedly tried to do the math in her head of how deep the water would get on the floor from a tank that big. Let's see.if that many does that then.this much will..OH SHIT we are getting ready to be at least waist deep in this! Her mind screamed out. She shot a glance back at Tom, but he already knew what she was going to say. "If I was a ladder where would I be.?" Lain thought to herself. "Come on, there's a ladder in the back," Tom screamed from the back of the Aquarium. She hurriedly sloshed through the water that was already waist deep, and the tank was not even a half of the way drained. "LAIN, BEHIND YOU!" yelled Tom from atop the ladder.
Then she heard it, something right behind her that was huge and cutting through the water at twice her speed. She instinctively looked behind her and what she saw made her wish she hadn't.
Author's note: I know it's pretty short; I just wanted to kind of get it out there since I won't be writing a lot over the weekend. Hope you liked it.
