Chapter 7: Underground

Nathan's POV

I woke up in a room with full of nothing but white. I can hear the monitor beeping and a drop of dextrose by my side. I looked around and it took me awhile to realize that I was in a hospital room. I am in a hospital room.

"Oh my God, Nathan! I told you not to go outside!" I heard my Mom cries as she held my hand.

"What happened? Why am I here?" I asked her.

"You passed out. What do you remember?" Mom asked.

"I don't... I don't know, I barely remember anything at all." I said.

"Take time to recover, my sweet child. In the meantime, what do you want to eat?" She asked me again.

"Nothing, I'm fine. I'm not hungry." I said which is exactly true. Maybe it's all because of the pain meds I'm in. I'm not even in pain though.

"All right. Bye, just gonna head downstairs to buy some snacks." She said but before she could even touch the doorknob, I called her.

"Uh, Mom? How long am I here?" I asked.

"Two and a half weeks. Why?" She asked.

"Nothing. Bye."

Two and a half weeks, oh my God I need to escape. I need to find Sheena. I need to know if she's fine.

I took of the dextrose in my arm and it bled so I covered it with gauze pad. Soon as my feet touch the ground, I lift it up again. It's cold because of the air conditioner.

I ignored the cold and went to the bathroom, there I took off the hospital gown and change something that wouldn't make me look like a patient. After changing into a white shirt, black jeans and black hoodie, I put on a mask and a cap.

I was about to go outside using the fire exit but then it's locked. Which made me wonder, why is the window closed? Nevermind, I need to go to Sheena.

I went outside only to find out that I wasn't in a hospital. Yeah it looks like it was a hospital but I think this is a faculty. I don't know, even my phone has no signal. All the people have a nebulizer around their necks, I can't breathe properly maybe because of this mask.

No signal.

Fire exit is locked.

People with nebulizer.

Window is closed.

I can't breathe properly.

I was a claustrophobic back when I was a grade seven and to my surprise, even now I still am. I am in an underground faculty.

Wait, my Mom thinks I am in a hospital. She could be drugged or something. Because I am not in a hospital.

"Glad to see you back on your feet." I heard a voice behind my back which made me turn to look who it was.

"Andy Boyce. What the hell are you doing here?" I said in between my gritted teeth.

Seeing him makes me want to punch him in the face, but if I want to escape, I might need him.

"Well, as you can see I am also a patient here. AB Doctor said we can't go anywhere." He said.

"We'll see about that. Come with me. I'm not asking you, this is an order." I said with full authority so he'll come with me.

We walked through the corridor until we saw this door says "Authorized personnel allowed." But we need something so we went inside only to find out jars and bottles.

I want to puke, the jars and bottles contains human flesh. Three jars were full of gouged out eyes, the other five were full of teeth. Bottles of blood, and a clear liquid that looks like tear.

"We shouldn't be here, AB Doctor wouldn't want us here." Andy said.

"Shut your mouth otherwise your eyes will be on those too. You hear me?" I threatened him so he immediately shut his mouth.

There are even iceboxes in the corner. Out of curiosity, I checked it out. To my surprise, I puked out of disgust. There were three human hearts. I checked the other and there were 9 human brains. The last one, there were 7 human livers.

"Come on, let's go. We can't be here." I said and we hurried up til we found another door.

It says, "Office." so we went inside. I need to get their blueprints because what establishment has such no blueprints right?

Blueprints are usually under the desk or in their safe. It wasn't under his desk so it must be in a safe box. Good thing I know how to crack a code, thanks to Sheena. This is all for you, I'm going to save you.

I looked a print in these buttons and fortunately, I found six prints. This must be the pin so I pushed it and then the light turned green.

"Nathan, we should go! There are two people coming." Andy said so I opened the safe box and took the papers I saw.

We immediately ran and soon as we found a place, we sat there and chased our breaths. I opened the paper and unfortunately it wasn't a blueprint. But fortunately it was a paper of codes. Passwords, pins, patters and everything.

"Do you miss your family?" I asked Andy.

"Of course I do, but AB Doctor told me they were gone. They were massacred when I was asleep and I was the only one he was able to save." He said.

"He's lying. We will get out of here, in the meantime, I need you to be yourself. Wait, is that a needle mark on your neck?" I asked him.

"Yes. AB Doctor said that those injections he injected me will help me get through the pain." He said.

Wait, Andy was a Son of the school owner. That means he knows that he shouldn't just give up any secrets. Oh my God, I think he's coerced by that AB Freaking Doctor.

"Do not come with me. Do not come to my any closer because I swear to God I will kill you." I told him.

"You failed again, Andy." The radio in his pocket made a sound.

"This only ends one way, Nathan." He said and then smirked.

"Yes. And that's you being buried 6 feet underground!" I shouted and threw him the piece of rock I saw.

It fell on through his face which made his nose bleed.

I kicked him in the nuts and ran as fast as I can. I went back to my room and locked it. I broke the glass window and hide under the bed. If I am underground, they should know that I escaped using that window. But it won't make sense so I really don't know what to do.

I will kill Andy for betraying me.
