By the Time she finished her act, many people were horribly burned to death and others fled Carnegie Hall. The smell of charred flesh was strong and unbearable. To my surprise, my date was still here! He was taking cover on the side of me. I pulled out a gun from my dress and aimed it at the actress and my date stood up alarmed. " Jesus!... I don wanna... oh my god!...I... I" He kept stammering. "Go! Get outta here! NOW!" I Ordered and shoved him to the side. After he scrambled out, I ran towards the stage to arrest the main actress.
I got to the stage but when I got a good look at her, she was floating and her eyes were not brown but green. " Freeze!! NYPD!!" I shouted as I had my gun aimed at her. "Hmph... You're the only one who seems to be fine..." The actress muttered. I had a confused look on my face as I said " What?" The actress gave a smile. " Listen, your cells are trying to communicate...they're... calling out" She said with a following laugh. Suddenly, an energy collected in her hand to form a ball and she shot out her hand. The ball turned into an energy ray that was coming straight towards me. I quickly moved to the side and fired a shot at her. At that moment, a sudden wave of heat traveled through my body and I almost collapsed. "What's happening?!...My body!... It's... Getting hot!!" I cried out as a small light surrounded me and the surge of heat passed. The actress observed this and gave a smile. " .... Just as I thought..." she said. " What... Is this?! ... What did you DO TO ME!?" I shouted and fired another shot at her. Wounded, the actress floated there and energy stopped collecting in her hand. I still had my gun aimed at her. " Our bodies are communicating with each other..." She explained. I was even more confused than before. " WHAT?!... communicating what?... What do you want!?" I asked her. " The more you use that power... the more you will become like...me" She whispered.
" Power?! ... what power?! who ARE you?" I asked firmly. "Eve.." She whispered again. " Eve?" I echoed. Eve's smile suddenly turned into a frown. " I'm surprised you don't know me Aya... You should know me well" Eve said with disappointment in her voice. "What?" I said with confusion as a sudden flashback occurred. I saw a operating room with two operating tables and a curtain in between them. Reality slowly came back to me and I rubbed my eyes. Eve was still there staring at me with bright green eyes. "What is this?... what was that?" I said with curiosity. Eve only gave a laugh and quickly floated away to the backstage. " W-Wait! Where are you going?! I'm not through with you yet!" I cried out but I was only talking to myself.
I ran to the backstage to find A huge black hole in the ground. " I know she's down there..." I said to myself while peering down into the dark. I suddenly heard the screeching tires of squad cars and the sirens of the ambulance. " Sounds like my backup's arrived" I said and went to go meet them. Once I took a step outside, All guns were pointed at me. "Don't shoot I'm with the NYPD!" I said in a alarming voice. "What?" A police officer said confused while staring at me. " Look, I'm going to take out my badge... Don't shoot" I said carefully as I slowly pulled out my badge and showed it to everyone. They all gave a big sigh and put away their guns. I got some ammo from a fellow police officer and another one noticed that I didn't have a scratch on me. " Hey, why aren't you hurt?" He asked while examining me. "Don't ask me... That's somethin I wanna know" I said and went back into the Hall.
I went back to the backstage where the black hole still remained. It was a long drop and it was pretty dark. A little girl stood there in front of me with a green hospital gown with little red slippers. " Are you alone? It's dangerous here... You should go" I warned the girl. She stared at me with big aqua eyes that looked so familiar. Then, she giggled and ran off. I stood there as my heart pounded and I began to think of my sister, Maya. " That girl! ... It couldn't be!" I said to myself and ran after the girl. I ended up in a narrow hallway with doors on each side. I looked around for the little girl but she was no where to be seen.
I started to walk through the hall until I heard a rat that spooked me out. I noticed that the rat seemed like it was in pain. It started to make loud growls and screeches as it clenched its stomach. Another loud cry came from it and I looked closely to see that its teeth grew larger, longer, and sharper. Realizing that this wasn't a ordinary rat anymore, I backed away from it until my back hit the concrete wall. The rat started to grow bigger and bigger than its original size. It grew to that point where it was almost bigger than a dog. As it grew, its skin started to rip and stretch, exposing its red flesh. Orange like slime started to drip from the rat's body and formed large puddles on the ground. The skin on the rats nose ripped and curled back as skin hung loosely from its nose and eyes. The sound of ripping skin and dripping slime made me cringe and my stomach churn. The tail dripped with slime and the tip of the tail ripped and split into three sides, like a claw. It make loud bellows and high pitch squeals.
I couldn't move, I was terrified of what I was seeing. It growled and screeched at me while it's tail lashed around like a whip. I held my gun tightly and froze. The monstrous rat hissed and suddenly charged at me. I drew my gun and started to constantly shoot at the rat until my clip ran empty. It took the hits but it still kept charging. It took a leap, ready to jump on me and tear me to shreds. I jumped out of the way just in time as the rat slammed against the wall head first and slumped to the ground. Odd colored blood and orange like ooze were smeared all over the smashed wall. The was twitched and squeaked but two shots ended its suffering. The body of the rat quickly began to melt away into a large puddle of ooze. I noticed a clip of ammo that was stuck in the slime and grabbed it out. " Jesus!" I exclaimed while holding my chest to keep it from exploding. " Did 'Eve' do that to the rat?!... What's going on HERE?!" I hurried away from the mess, Hoping that I wouldn't run into more.
I went into one door on the left side where it happened to be an office of some sort and there were a rack of clothes on the far side of the room. A familiar smell of charred flesh revealed a body lounged on the desk. I walked around the body and by the rack of clothes. I quickly moved a portion of the clothes to the side and a parrot flew out, flying around in circles by the ceiling. "HOT HOT!! HELP HELP!!" the parrot squawked. I saw a phone on the desk next to the charred body. " I'd better notify Baker about this... And call Daniel..." I murmured. I leaned towards the phone, trying to not touch the body. I stepped on a bottle and slipped. I hit the body and grasped the desk to keep from falling while giving a scream. I regained my balance, and shaken, I went to use the phone to notifiy Daniel to come down ASAP. As I was walking out of the room, I noticed something shiny that was next to the charred body. "Whats this?" I said to myself as I picked it up. " Huh... it must be the key for the other rooms..." I said while walking out of the office. I encountered two more of those monsters and took them down. The key was pretty useful when I got into another room. It was a nice dressing room and a parrot was perched on a chair, staring at me. " Merry Christmas Merry Christmas!! Goodbye!" the parrot squawked and started to mutate into a black bird with two legs fused into one leg. I quickly got out of the room and ran across to the other room. I got into the dressing room and shut the door. " What the hell is going on here?!" I thought to myself. There was a book on the dresser that caught my eye. I went to the dresser that contained the diary and I began to read the diary that started from November...
November 3 Monday,
The Christmas show is set! This has been my dream! The main actress has a solo concert at the theater in Central Park. I took all the medication to get here. I HAVE to get the lead part! I'll even sell my soul to the devil if I have to...
November 17 Monday,
The cast was announced and Suzanne and I are double cast. I want to play the part alone but everyone knows she's good...
November 21 Friday,
I think I'm overdoing it. My body's getting hotter than ever for some reason. I'd better take more medication...
December 6 Saturday,
I collapsed today. I lost consciousness after my body got hot. I don't care if I die...I just want to get through with this show...
December 10 Wednesday,
I passed out again... They told me to go to the doctor and get some rest. If this continues, Suzanne will definitely take my part. I need to get better. I'd better take more medication...
December 11 Thursday,
Suzanne was burned in a apartment fire. Is it because I wanted that part so bad? God forgive me...
December 17 Wednesday,
It looks like I'll be in the lead. I'd better take more medication and work it.
December 23 Tuesday,
Opening night went smoothly. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. We should have the biggest crowd of the season. And... I have the solo concert the next day at Central Park. But I'm not feeling well... I'd better take more medication...
" For what? Why is she taking so much?! She must have a drug problem..." I wondered and snatched another key that was underneath the diary. I left the room and continued to search for any survivors. I entered another dressing room where I stumbled onto two more burned bodies. I checked the lockers and found good medicine to use. While I was checking the lockers, A small groan came from one of the bodies. I quickly rushed to the person's aide. " Hold on! I'll call the paramedics!" I assured the actress. As soon as I got up to my feet, the actress grabbed my arm. "M... Melissa.... She's a... monster" The actress said in pain. " Don't try to talk now. Melissa? ... Melissa the main actress?!" I asked. " She... probably got to Suzanne... too....You'll have to... Stop…her.." The actress said and gave out her last breath. "No! Please wake up! Hang in there!" I cried out but she gave no response. She was dead.
I exited that room and entered another one across from it. I opened the door and a clown yelped. " AHHH!! Here take it! Take everything! Its all on the counter!" He panicked as he pointed to the counter. I sighed in relief and lowered my weapon. " Don't scare me.. I'm with the NYPD" I said. " Your the one who scared ME lady! I was only getting ready.... you know, only STAFF are allowed in here..." he remarked with a cocky attitude. " There was an incident... you'll have to evacuate" I said calmly. " What? You're kidding right?! Hey I'm not dying here tonight! SEE YA!" The clown said and pushed past me and out of the door. Moments later I heard a blood curling scream that was cut short.
I exited the room and noticed a blood trail going all the way down to the other end of the hall, where I first started. While I was following the trail, the blood started to turn into huge puddles of blood. When I looked up ahead, there was a mutilated body in its own puddle of blood. Body parts were scattered everywhere and blood was spattered all over the walls. I cupped my mouth to keep from vomiting. " I-It was the clown from the dressing room!" I thought to myself. Suddenly, the body began to move. Terrified, I jumped back, aiming my gun at the body. A rat slowly emerged from behind the body. It sneered and hissed at me but I still had my gun aimed at it. I broke out into a cold sweat and my hands were trembling. The rat was eating the clown's body! The monstrous rat grasped its razor sharp teeth around the clown's head. It began to twist and jerk until the head was ripped off. I cringed and my stomach began to churn again as the sound of ripping flesh and snapping bone echoed. Five shots took care of the rat and I quickly ran away from the gruesome mess.
I came up to the double doors that were in the middle of the hall. " This is it... This is where Eve must be..." I said to myself. I used the key that I found from the diary and pushed the double doors open...
