Chapter Seven
Taking Ash
One of the men turned and looked at Sawyer's hiding spot. She clamped a hand over her mouth and tried to still her breathing. She looked to Ash and his head was turned and looking too. He suddenly shot up and threw fists out randomly at anyone he could hit. The man that was pursuing Sawyer's place now turned around and ran back to the group. They all knocked Ash down and grabbed him. They brought him up above their heads and held him tight, a man hold each arm and leg. He kicked and tried to get down but it was no use, he was not strong enough. Shouting, Ash was brought out of the testing lab and down the hall, the doctor following in self satisfaction.
When everything was quiet, Sawyer thought it was safe enough to get out. She slid the metal door open and crawled out, catious of her surroundings. She gulped silently and stod up slowly, still being catious. A bead of prespiartion ran down her forehead and she raised a hand to wipe it away. But as she did, another grabbed her hand. And that other hand had claws.
Sawyer gasped and looked down at the clawed hand. It's grip tightened and she let out a squeal of pan. Shifitng her gaze up it's arm she looked into the eyes of it's owner. The monster's eyes. Her head tilted to the right and she stared into into his eyes, hypnotized by his irises. She sighed and her eyes rolled back into her head, the lids closing slowly. She fell forward in the monsters arms, head cheek resting against his chest. He looked down at her, grinning a toothy grin. He bent over, sliding his right hand under her knees and the left under her back. He raised her, holding Sawyer in his arms like a helpless child. His grin widened as he lowered his head to hers.
His lips embraced hers tenderly but not enough to stir her. "GABRI!", a mighty voice boomed. The monster, Gabri, soon straightened up and shifted his eyes about the room rapidly. "Yes sir?", he asked timidly. "I told you before Gabri", the invisible voice sayed in a softer tone, "Do not touch her!" Gabri made a disgusted face and then muttered a "Yes sir". "Good, now hurry up and get her back here...enough time has been wasted." Gabri nodded his head and turned toward the open doors, walking out as if nothing had happened.
