Staring up at the dark ceiling, I lay on my bed, my body aching from yesterday’s fall. I really don’t want to move, my back hurting the most. My mind continues to wander back to the strange book. I was so close to maybe finding a way out of this place and now I’m not. All I had to do was just grab the book, but instead I dropped it. I grumble in disappoint in myself. Now I have to go back and grab it, but how? Felix won’t let me out of the apartment without him or Thorn and he’s not about to go back into the subway. He’s convinced there are more demon dogs in those tunnels, but I’m not so sure. If there are more dogs down there, won’t they hunt in packs or at least trail each other for food? And what about the other crazy things the dead man wrote? Like the three other bombs and the Norreach Program? Are those bombs real? Is this place really going to go nuclear? Or is it all just a dead man’s nightmare? …show more content…
I desperately want answers, when my questions are interrupted as the door opens. I sit up, my back aching and my head pounding. Felix is standing in the door way, with his hands in his pockets. “Felix,” I begin, surprised. “Can I come in?” he asks, being polite. I nod. “How are you feeling?” He taps his giant purple bruise on the side of his forehead, walking towards me. “Alive, considering you risked your life to save me.” “Yeah, well don’t get used to it,” I reply, “I can’t save your life every time you’re endanger.” He laughs. “I don’t expect you too, but I am thankful you did. How are you feeling?” I stretch, wincing as my muscles tighten in pain. “I’ve been better.” I pause and dare to ask some unanswered questions. “How long ago was the Demon Serum dumped into the north water
“How are you feeling?” She asks. “Okay.” I answer with every bit of energy I have left.
“I’m fine!” they rushed out, forcing their eyes to meet with his. It almost stung. “I really am fine.”
“Thats why were going” she said, already gathering up her supplies for the trip “we’re going to save him.”
I shake my head. The chances of me escaping the demon are thin. At least with another human, I’m on the same playing-field. As I run, trying to find a stair case or a window close to the ground.
“I’m fine,” she answered breathlessly. “I’m sorry to worry you. I just kept running until I couldn’t run anymore.”
Tom slowly rolled onto his back, his breath catching in his throat as a sharp pain flared in his ribs. “I’m fine,” he replied through gritted teeth.
“I’m afraid I can’t, I’m sorry. I’m helping her as much as I can but I’ve barely scratched the surface of my potential.” the healer told him.
“It’s just been a long couple of days, and exhaustion is getting to me, that’s all.”
"Are you sure you're fine? You weren't feeling too good a couple days ago either and I just wanted…"
The giant dog was running toward Amy. She thought that the giant dog it’s going to kill her, but the giant dog didn’t. The giant dog gave Amy a note, and then it sat down. On the note, it says “Sorry for making you scared, but this is just a check. You’re a very smart girl, but you don’t have enough confidence. I can’t tell you too much, but remember to BE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF. You will find out that you’re way better than you think you’re.” Amy looked at the dog, and suddenly, she heard a cracking sound. It’s a door, but not a door to go out, it’s a door to the next test. Amy looked at the dog again, and the dog started to get smaller and smaller. The dog’s magic is gone after the first test, the dog’s magic can only come back if Amy pass the next test. If Amy doesn’t pass the test, the dog will
Slowly but surely, I drag my legs behind me to a corner. I lay on the floor limp trying to catch my breath. Then tussle over and lay on my back. Finally, I glance around the room looking for anything, but there’s nothing here.
I had learned my lesson yesterday and instead just made my way to the library. The back of it had tons of loaded bookshelves and the front had desks and computers. I glanced at all the books as I walked to the very back and rested against a bookshelf. It was so quiet that I could hear my heartbeat and my thoughts were my own. My head still throbbed, but that was to be expected. I pulled out a novel from my bag, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. It was my favorite and I had read it more times than I was willing to admit. It was my go-to book whenever life was being a pain in the ass and today it was definitely
I was all snuggled up in my fortress of a bunk bed, pajamas on, teeth brushed, and reading my favorite book series, Fablehaven. Just as my eyes began to droop, and I instinctively marked my place in the book, I remembered the light was still on. I couldn’t fall asleep yet. And thus, I began the treacherous journey down the ladder, across the room, then back again in the dark, stepping on legos and bumping into corners I could have sworn weren’t there a second ago, and finally back up the ladder only to realize my venture had woken me up and that I was no longer tired.
“-wait for Max, can you grab the first aid kit,” I interrupt before Mason is able to pull it out.
I wake with a tap against one of my boots. Dim streaks of light, grey and increasing, are filtering through a nearby door. How did I get back into the apartment? For a moment I stare at the ceiling trying to remember what happened last night, then everything comes rushing back. My headache and how Avery found me.
