The scream pierced through the halls like an inferno. Instantly Karen woke to the scream as well as Emily. "W-what was that?" she asked. Karen shook her head unseeingly. Then she saw that Serena and Dan were missing.
"Oh no." she mumbled.
Serena stood in the pool of blood shaking. Her vision had shifted to where the blood was seeping. On the ceiling beam, dangling by mere pieces of flesh and bone was Dan. His neck was bit to the point where the head was ready about to fall off. He was positioned in a weird fashion, where the bones stuck out of the skin. There was a gaping hole in the middle of his torso. From that, the contents of his inside dangled out and about. From here most of the blood was still dripping off a part of his intestine that feel halfway to the ground.
"Serena! Dan!" Karen shouted running down the dimly lit hallway, Emily in hot pursuit. Karen was gripping her gun so hard that her knuckles were turning red and hurting, but she didn't care. What mattered was finding the two.
They came to the end of the hallway, which then spilt into a fork. "Which way do we go?" asked Emily out of breath. However just as the older lady was about to answer, Serena came running down the right hallway and bumping right into the other two.
Both of them fell backwards as Serena feel the other way, crying and covered in blood. Karen and Emily looked at her wide-eyed. "Wh-What happened?" asked Emily standing up.
Serena just sat on the ground shaking and crying. "Dan…. blood…lots of blood…radio transmission…and..And….." Karen looked at her, trying to make sense of what she was saying. "What? Serena, honey. I can't understand you." She said.
"D-Dan is d-d-dead." She stammered back. "He's dead.." stated Emily in shock.
"Yeah he is dead. Trust me you don't want to see it back there it is pretty bad." Said another voice.
Karen turned around and pointed her gun instantly. "Woah Woah..calm down I am alive here you know." Said a man coming out of the shadows. Karen put down her gun, but still stood her ground. "How do you know?" Emily asked, sitting next to her friend.
"Well how can't I miss it. But that is not the point. The point is we are all in danger. We have to get out of here while we can before it gets us to." He said starting to run in the direction of the entrance.
"What are you talking about?" Karen snapped back. "What is going to get us?"
The man stopped and turned around. "Ok, I'll tell you, but not here, its not safe." He replied and continued running down the hall. Karen tuned back to Emily who was standing with Serena who remained silent. "Let's go." She ordered and the three of them took down the hall.
They soon caught up to the man who had gone back to the room they had stationed in the night before. Quickly he closed the door and latched it.
Serena sat on the bed and stared at the wall, while Emily sat next to her. Karen remained standing looking at the man, who was peering out the little window of the door. Once he was satisfied he sat down in front of it. "They call it. Project Mercury." He started.
