Chapter 29

"Ciel went home?" Skye couldn't even believe her own words.

Skye knew this was a lie, how could she have just gone home? Ciel wouldn't really leave, not like that. Did they…, did they possibly?

Skye grabs the nurse's skirt. "No Ciel can't leave, she's my friend!" Skye explains. Skye watches as unintentionally she made the key card fall out of the nurses pocket. Skye pushes the nurse back so she can step on the key card and hide it with her foot. "Ciel has to be here still!"

"Mary it's time to go back to bed, or they'll be punishment for this behavior." The nurse explains. Skye frowns. She knew that she had to leave and find Ciel, before it was too late.

If she really had gone home, had she gone out through the exit?

Skye keeps the key card under her feet and slides it under her bed away from sight as she goes to grab onto the nurse skirt again. "Did she really go home, without a goodbye?"

The nurse pushes Skye away like she's disgusted by her. As if she didn't see Skye as more than a lab rat.

"Get back in bed, or I'll be giving you a needle, really hard." The nurse says with malice in her voice. "Do you understand specimen."

Skye frowns.

"Gosh, you're annoying. I almost wish the other girl turned out being the one."

Skye kicks the nurses leg.

"Ciel is my friend! Where is she!" Skye shouts. The seven year old didn't understand where Ciel had gone, and she didn't like how the nurse was acting.

"That's it girl, I'm getting a large needle that will hurt a lot, you're also not getting meals tomorrow."

The nurse goes to leave, probably going to come back with some sort of doctor to try and calm Skye down.

Skye waits for the lock to click shut when the nurse leaves, but she never hears it. Maybe the nurse forgot, or maybe the nurse just was too upset to remember or care since she was coming back in a second anyway.

But this was Skye's chance.

Skye goes to the bathroom and grabs the scalpel and the note, still not ready to read it. Skye rushes to under her bed and grabs the key card. She than heads to the door, she needed to make her escape.

Skye pushes the door back, the nurse did indeed forget to lock it. Skye didn't know what time it was, but when Skye pushes her head into the hallway she sees no doctors or nurses, which she believe means it's quite late.

Skye scurries away, she had to find Ciel. Skye checks in door windows, even though she could barely see over the edge of the doors. Skye goes to find the door with the exit sign. She was still in her blue gown, and she didn't have any place to put the keycard, piece of paper or knife. All she could do was hold tightly till her hands were white.

When Skye goes past the doctor's office, Skye finds the door the doctors often used. Skye looks in the corner, there is a camera in the hallway, but no one has started searching for her yet.

Skye uses the key card and to her surprise it works. Heading inside the room, Skye is completely surprised by the lack of white and medical machines. Every room in the facility had white and bleak everything. This room had a concrete floor, red brick walls, and coffee machines in the corner. Skye notices a fridge, and is tempted to open it, but she doesn't.

Skye looks to the door directly across from her. Above it in bright glowing letters is the word 'EXIT'. Skye sees that the door is ready to be opened. Skye runs to open the door, but a doctor comes through the door. He's surprised seeing the child. He wasn't one of the usual doctors, but Skye could tell that he had done surgery's on her previously.

"What on earth?" he says in surprise.

Skye holds the scalpel in her hand, Ciel had said it was a weapon, so she had to use it like a weapon. Skye remembers this doctor, often hooking up devices that hurt her head, and giving her more medicine that made her sleepy and sore. Skye didn't deserve to be treated like she was sick, when she wasn't sick.

Skye drives the weapon into the doctor's leg with no hesitation, a blood spot appears.

He shouts, and Skye runs away leaving her weapon in the doctors leg. Skye opens the door with the EXIT sign overhead an alarm to sound as soon as she opens the door.

"The subject is escaping!" The doctor was shouting into a walkie-talkie. Skye runs down the stairs from where the door and starts running down as far as she can go. She hears the alarms ring, but the adrenaline running through Skye was enough to make her keep going. She still had the key card and paper in hand.

Maybe if she could escape she'd find Ciel, she could find Ciel.

Skye makes it to the bottom level and tries to open the door. It doesn't work. Skye tries the key card but it also doesn't work. Skye frowns and looks for another way out. She hears people rushing down the stairs from above. Skye sees a little door that looks much like a garbage shoot like the time she lived at an apartment with a foster family for a week. Skye doesn't have a choice.

Skye fits her small body inside and slides down. The smell was awful, but it was nice to smell something other than sanitizer, antiseptic and drugs. It was a nice change.

Skye lands hard on her butt, but it didn't hurt nearly as much as it some of the medicines they'd given her. Skye opens her eyes, but she finds she's in the pitch black. Skye feels along the wall, the key card lost but the paper still in her hand. Skye sees a small light coming from a corner. She runs to it, through what Skye can tell is garbage and some other poky things. Skye reaches the light, and realizes it's a doorway.

Skye pushes the door open above her head and blinks her eyes to the incoming light. Looking back Skye can see the garbage she'd been stepping in, Skye realizes she was lucky she didn't step on any of the used needles in her bare feet.

Skye pushes the door open further, seeing that this was some sort of dumpster. With barely any strength left Skye pushes herself out of the dumpster and rolls over onto the road. She was now in an underground parking garage.

Skye sees a few cars parked. The alarms are still blaring from above and Skye covers her ears. She sees two men carrying something a bit a ways from her. Luckily they didn't see her. But if they were leaving by a car, maybe Skye could escape.

Skye runs up and hides behind a car watching the men throw a bag into the back of a trunk. "Ah these alarms are giving me a headache." The taller of the two men said.

"I'm not sure on what's happening but apparently we can't leave till they turn off." The second man says, the fatter and shorter one.

"Well how are we supposed to do our job? The likelihood of the cops pulling you over increases per hour, and then will be in major trouble."

"Arnold." The tiny fat one says. "They've paid us good money each time we've disposed of them, and each time we haven't been caught. Besides we don't even have to do the killing, we just have to bury them."

Their words float in around Skye's head. They only word that really struck her was killing.

"Well let's go back inside and see how much longer until we can go." The tall one Arnold says. Skye watches them leave.

With curiosity Skye steps out behind the car she'd been hiding behind. No one had come here yet, and Skye wasn't sure when someone would. She knew she should run, but Skye felt something telling her to go and look in the trunk of that car.

Skye walks over, her feet already scratched up from walking on asphalt. She opens the trunk, lifting the boot up. She sees the bag, and her heart beats fast as she goes to unzip it.

As she pulls back the zipper, her dark hair comes out. Her eyes we're closed and her body was cool like ice. "Ciel…." Skye mumbles, not sure if this is really her, she was so cold, so lifeless.

Skye touches her face. "Ciel." She doesn't respond. "Ciel, answer me." Skye shouts. "You're my friend, and the nurse said you went home." Skye takes Ciel's motionless hand. "Ciel, why are your eyes closed wake up." Skye cries. "Ciel wake up!"

Skye lets out a scream.

Skye was crying, tears were coming so fast, and her screams were so loud that she couldn't hear the man with guns coming up behind her. "Ciel open your eyes!" She screams. "They didn't kill you, they didn't kill you!"

But she doesn't open her eyes and instead Skye feels an injection of a sedative go into her neck, and Ciel's hand slip from Skye's grasp.

The paper falls from Skye's hand, she'd forgotten she was holding it. As she watches it fall in her blurry vision, Skye sees what the paper says.

It's her name, her new name.

Skye

Skye uses the last of her strength to call to her friend "Ciel…"

Skye finding Ciel's body, so sad. Next chapter will be back to Ward, and where Skye ended up after they were attacked in the snow. Review please :D
