By sisavathmez, 09:27I crept forward as quickly as I could and then started jogging again when I decided it was safeI saw the first faint hints of daylight streaming around the curving tunnel ahead, and I shifted
into a quieter lope that still kept me moving swiftlyI knew that once I was around the gradual
arc, I would be able to see the doorway into Doc's realmI followed the bend, and the light
grew brighterI moved cautiously now, putting each foot down with silent careFor a
moment, I wondered if I was wrong and there was no one here at allThen, as the uneven
entrance came into view, throwing a block of white sunlight against the opposite wall, I could
hear the sound of quiet sobbingI tiptoed right to the edge of the gap and paused, listeningThe sobbing continuedAnother fendi spy zucca bag sound, a soft, rhythmic thudding, kept time with it It was Jeb's voice, thick with some emotionDon't take
it so hard
Hushed footsteps, more than one set, were moving around the roomIt reminded me of the sounds of cleaningThere was a smell that didn't belong hereStrange? not quite metallic, but not quite anything
else, eitherThe smell was not familiar?I was sure I had never smelled it before?and yet I had an
odd feeling that itshould be familiar to meI was afraid to move around the cornerWhat's the worst they will do to us?Mel pointed outake us leave?
You're rightThings had definitely changed if that was the worst I could fear from the humans nowI took a deep breath?noticing again that strange,wrong smell?and eased around the rocky edge
into the hospitalDoc omega aqua terra watch was kneeling on the floor, his face buried in his hands, his shoulders heavingJeb leaned
over him, patting his backJared and Kyle were laying a crude stretcher beside one of the cots in the middle of the roomJared's face was hard?the mask had come back while he was awayThe cots were not empty, as they usually wereSomething, hidden under dark green blankets,
filled the length of both of themLong and irregular, with familiar curves and angles?
Doc's homemade table was arranged at the head of these cots, in the brightest spot of sunlightThe table glittered with silver?shiny scalpels and an assortment of antiquated medical tools that
I couldn't put a name toBrighter than these were other silver thingsShimmering segments of silver stretched in
twisted, tortured cartier ronde pieces across the table? tiny silver strands plucked and naked and scattered?
splatters of silver liquid smeared on the table, the blankets, the walls?
The quiet in the room was shattered by my screamThe wholeroom was shatteredIt spun and
shook to the sound, whirled around me so that I couldn't find the way outThe walls, the
silver-stained walls, rose up to block my escape no matter which way I turnedSomeone shouted my name, but I couldn't hear whose voice it wasThe screaming was too
loudThe stone wall, oozing silver, slammed into me, and I fell to the floorHeavy hands held me there?Doc, help!?
?What's wrong with her??
?Is it having a fit??
?What did she see??
?Nothing?nothingThe bodies were covered!?
That was a lie! The bodies were hideously uncovered, chanel j12 strewn in obscene contortions across the
glittering tableMutilated, dismembered, tortured bodies, ripped into grotesque shreds?
I had clearly seen the vestigial feelers still attached to the truncated anterior section of a childJust a child! A baby! A baby thrown haphazardly in maimed pieces across the table smeared
with its own blood?
My stomach rolled like the walls were rolling, and acid clawed its way up my throat?Wanda? Can you hear me??
?Is she conscious??
?I think she's going to throw up
The last voice was rightHard hands held my head while the acid in my stomach violently
overflowed?What do we do, Doc??
?Hold on to her?don't let her hurt herself
I coughed and squirmed, trying to escape?Let me go!? I was finally able to choke outThe words were bolsas louis garbl
