An ear shattering alarm blares through out the building. Three or four people from which I momentarily remember from the front lobby came bursting through the door at the sound of the chaos. Dante pushes himself off from on top of me and joins them as they look outside, scanning the perimeter through the shattered glass.
My eyes slide to an object stuck to the ground a couple of meters away from me. And an involuntary gasp escapes my mouth. There a a huge spear driven into the ground as if it had been thrown with inhuman strength.
On it there was a slip of paper attached on the handle. Dante's eyes slide from me to the spear. Confusion swirls in his eyes before he asks.
"You can see it?"
My eyes bulge out at his question. "Of course I can! There's a huge spear stuck into the ground, how in the world can I not see it!" I exclaim my breath ragged.
Shock registers in his eyes before I hear him mumble. It's supposed to be hidden...
Hidden
How can a 3 meter long spear be hidden in plain sight?!
He casually walks over to the spear and pulls out the piece of paper. He reads the paper and furrows his brows. I hear him mumble to himself and I had to crane my neck in order to hear bits and pieces of it.
She had--- Has now been awakened. In town.. Careful. Disaster approaching.
Ignoring the ominous letter I turn towards Dante "Can anyone please explain to me what the hell is going on?" I exclaim. Dante look at me as if pondering if telling me would be a sensible thing to do or not.
Sensible my ass. If a huge spear comes hurling through a window I think I have the right to know what's going on.
Finally Dante sigh and walks towards the door. I look back at him in confusion.
"Not here. People might be listening." I nod and follow after him.
We get into the elevator and he presses level 100. The elevator come to a stop and he steps out. I follow close behind him not sure if this place is safe. We stop in front of another door similar to the one in his office except this seemed to be ten times larger.
What the hell is this place?
He does the same thing Scarlet did before by placing his hands in the center this time. The glowing begins yet again and the door begin to slide open slowly.
The ground beneath our feet rumble as the huge door move. Dust falls from the sides and crack evidence it hadn't been opened in a long long time.
In the room the walls are all white and in the middle there's a table with two pairs of head sets placed on them. He takes one in his right hand and extends the other one towards me.
I cautiously take it from his hand. The headset feel light as a feather in my hands and the cool metal surface brushes lightly against my skin.
"Put it on." He states as he smoothly slides his onto his head. It whirls and automatically adjusts squeezing the belt until it fits just right. My eyes marvel against the advanced technology. I do the same and sure enough the same thing happens.
"Now this might feel weird the first time around, so be prepared." I look at him in confusion.
Why would it feel weird?
Before I had a chance to ask he presses a button on the remote he held in his hands and suddenly me eyes were covered in darkness. I stumble back but was caught by the forearm from who I assumed to be Dante.
Briefly after, light begins to fill the room except the room that I was seeing seemed different then the one we were in before.
As I was occupied looking around someone walks right through me. I gasp as a weird feeling spreads throughout my body. Dante smiles at my reaction.
"It's a hologram. You'll get used to it." He states
"What is this place?" I ask, my voice bouncing off the walls as if we were standing in a cavern.
"It's a virtual reality sim. It may seem real but the people are all holograms so no need to be frightened. We'll begin shortly"
Frightened! What is he going to show me that would cause me to be frightened.
He turns towards me with a smirk. " Quite a first day to work isn't it?"
You have no idea.
