Chapter 10 Encounter

Shit!" Eurus yelled

"Get back here. You need to get this for me!" Judy said

Eurus runs through the hall that leads to the library, quickly running through the door and locking it,

"Eurus open the door! I need you to get this for me, I'm not joking get it within an hour," Judy yelled

He heard Judy from the other side of the door, Eurus backed away from the door telling her that he would and to relax, not knowing that someone else was in the library, he walked around the bookshelves looking for something to read, As he looks at his phone for what Judy wants, he sits down with his favorite comic book but when he starts to read, he hears a loud noise coming from the corner of the library, he then gets up not without texting Claire about this and goes around the last bookshelf,

He looked through the corner of his eye, he saw Shai had just been knocked out on the floor with a figure over, watching her then it kicked her stomach trying to get her to hit him.

"I need to get the door open," Eurus whispers

Suddenly a hand appeared next to him, he then quickly moved to look at the individual,

"You seem to be trying to get in my way, I will not stand for that," It said

The figure moves into the light trying to find Eurus, only to show himself,

He looked around the corner to find nothing, but wind and dusty books, Eurus went to the next bookshelf, breathing softly hoping it wouldn't hear him, It walked down the bookshelf to the next one, while Eurus looked over before going over to the next bookshelf,

"Where are you?" He whispers out,

Eurus looks at his phone aiming at the figure who trying to find him, Eurus breath slowly watches the screen to see their reflection, Eurus's breath is caught in his throat knowing what he now looking at, the person turns his head in his direction, and makes Eurus quickly moving his phone back to his pocket,

"I know you are there. Come out and you will not be harmed," It said

The person starts to walk closer to Eurus, who starts to move away from the bookshelf, he is on the left side of the library following him, not screaming at him but staking him. Watching his shadow move from place to place, before trying to make it to the door, Eurus moves towards the door able to grab and unlock the handle, but the person grabs him harshly, then pulls him away from the door, onto the wall beside him, causing some photos to brake and the glass to scatter across the floor on them,

Eurus opened his eyes and saw the AI was with them, Eurus started to struggle under the AI's weight, which shocked him. It's an AI how can it make weight out of nothing? What has truly made a group want to make something like this?

"What are you doing here? This place is supposed to keep things like you out or at least take you apart bit by bit," Eurus said stunned,

Herman just stared, which caused Eurus to shiver at how cold his stare was. Lifeless. It truly terrifies him,

"I am here to watch a specimen. That has interested me," Herman told him

Eurus is confused by his statement and tries to move out of his grasp, but fails to do so, Herman grabs him by the throat and throws him at a bookshelf, Eurus yells in pain landing on the floor on his back and causing some of the glass to end up in his skin, Eurus looks up at the ceiling notice a light coming from it, the ceiling is it's polychrome, that was enough for him to try and get up. Not knowing what that was but to him, it felt familiar like a warm hug. Then Herman stomps him in the stomach,

"You have been staring at the ceiling for a worrying amount of time, What are you particularly looking at?" Herman said

Herman puts his fake foot back into Eurus's stomach, and Eurus starts coughing out blood, Herman titled his head in amusement and does it once more, Eurus grabs his foot before he can do it once more, but Herman's foot goes through his hand shifting into the bookshelf, Eurus looks at him shocked before rolling away from him, and with a help of a couch got up,

Herman went to him, He is the best creation that humanity has ever made. How would a young delusional male who looks like he has too many energy drinks, that will end him and take back what is supposed to be his? Don't make me believe that.

"You little insect!" Herman yelled

Herman was about to punch a hole in Euru but before he could, Eurus hit him with a chair, Herman didn't have time to shift through it, It landed on Herman's back and head making him move away from Eurus, unfamiliar with pain, Herman stares at the ground wondering what this pain feeling is. And why is it affecting him so badly?

"I have to get up, I can't let him get away with causing me this odd feeling,"

He looks up at Eurus to find him limping away from him, going to the door, Herman smiles then disappears to Eurus, who is footsteps away from the door with light in his eyes, stopped in a matter of seconds. Was diminished seeing the AI in front of him,

"You are a slippery one, aren't you?" Herman said

Eurus stood still waiting to see what Herman would do, but all he did was stare at him, he was foolish enough to let his guard down, and Herman let out a terrifying chuckle before landing a blow to Eurus's head, which sent him down almost knocking him out. Herman walked up to him, the pain he once felt gone, he stared down at Eurus, whose vision started to get blurry,

"You had a good life to live... But you had to run in here and see something you weren't supposed to," Herman hummed

Eurus looked behind him not wanting to look at him, to see a gold glowing woman with gorgeous brown eyes watching them, beauty followed every sway of her dress. He didn't know, all he cared about was if this was his last site to see its... Weird but calming to him, Herman hummed and looked back to find what Eurus was staring at, he hadn't seen this before. only he had seen things like this on the internet from glitchy videos,

"So this is what that thing saw in you... Pathetic. Go back to the hole you came from and let me be," Herman said sternly,

Herman went back to look at Eurus, then grabbed his arm and started to bend his arm the wrong way. The woman grunts before a white light engulfs her, moving to Herman who now notices this, letting go of Eurus and trying to make a shield over him, It is too late. A gold shine starts to flood over his system. shutting them down, and Eurus who is watching the whole thing, looks at Herman with a smirk before looking away to protect his eyes,

"Whatever you are I see to your end," Herman shouted

Herman vanished, and the woman slowly walked over to Eurus, the woman bent her knees to check on him, moving her hand to check his breathing, before trying to pull up his shirt which Eurus did not want, he moved his hand to stop her and he hiss in pain, she sighed and told him,

"Are you going to let me see how bad your stomach is? Or do you want to leave it and let you throw up more blood," She said

Eurus chuckled at this voice... It sounded familiar to him, he then looked up at her, the gold glow that used to be around her was dim, so he could see her face. He whispered out,

"Shai?"

She smiled at him before nodding, she asked once more if she could look at his stomach, he let her see all kinds of bruises on him, She then sighed and got back on her feet,

"How much do you hurt when you breathe? And where's Judy, I thought she was running after you?" Shai asked

"It hurts every time I breathe in and I locked the door before she could kick my ass... Could you open the door and get Claire or Judy, at this point I don't care how much I..... Get nagged to death," Eurus explained

Shai rams to the door and unlocks it, to find Claire is deactivated and Judy trying to get her off the door, they both fall on the floor, Judy worried, look at the carnage of the library. Glass all over the floor, chairs, and bookshelves were broken, Judy's eyes land on Eurus she immediately gets up and runs to him, asking all kinds of questions, Shai looks down at Claire who is not moving, she bends down and touches Claire's head that causes a little lightning comes off her hand onto the android, Shai stunned but glad whispered something before going over to Eurus and Judy,

Claire's eyes start to light up noticing that she's on the floor, and moves to look at the sound of talking, finding something she could have stopped but couldn't, Claire felt a pain in her stomach, holding it with one hand. She has felt this pain before but not this much.

"What happened?" Judy asked

"The AI came into the house. I have no idea how he did but he hurt Eurus badly, though he tried to put up a fight," Shai said

Judy is angry and does not have time to think clearly. Let out,

"So you just let him almost kill Eurus?""

Shai glares at her,

"No, I didn't... I was knocked out by the AI and when I got up. I was having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe well... I'm sorry I didn't help as much as I could have," Shai said

Shai looks down at Eurus and bends to his level, Judy is about to stop her, but doesn't when she watches Shai pick up Eurus, turning to her,

"We need to get him to the lab. Let go," Shai said

Claire is leaning on the door watching them arguing,

"I'm sorry. I, I," Claire stuttered

Shai stops her and says,

"Don't worry about it Claire, it's fine but... Judy, could you help Claire while I bring Eurus to the Lab?"

Judy walks over to Claire and wraps her arm around Claire's middle, Claire moves her shoulder above Judy, and they move out of the door frame limping towards the lab, Shai walks out of the library with Eurus in her arms, half awake watching, Shai's face smiling before hissing in pain.

Shai looks down at him noticing him trying not to fall back asleep,

"Try not to sleep yet, Judy and Claire if she's able to check if you have a broken rib... Or two," Shai said

Eurus chuckles regretting it afterward with how much pain he's in,

he whines in pain closing his eyes, Shai sighs saying,

"Don't laugh too much, it will hurt you more than help,"

"You're right... How can you carry me like this?" Eurus asked

"I'm not sure, " Shai muttered
