James grabbed a radio off of one of the unconscious soldiers and handed it to Dianne "When you get to the office, let us know and lock the door" he told her as she nodded her head.
They then stepped out of the room: Dianne quickly heading down the corridors leading out of the surgical ward whilst James lead Patryk the opposite way, towards the back of the hospital.
Angelina slowly opened her eyes, finding herself in a trashed office room.
Bookshelves knocked over, chairs and tables thrown about the room, pages torn out of books and files, computers and phones laying in broken pieces.
She hesitantly stepped through the room and to the over side, carefully opening the door and stepping out into a hospital corridor; empty, cold, dark, a few pieces of loose paper scattered about the floor. The further she ventured down the corridor, the more empty, people-less rooms she passed. Eventually, curiosity struck her and the next room she came across, she opened the door.
A gasp of shock and horror left Angelina as she instantly backed up against the wall of the corridor, staring at the pile of torn bloodied bodies of nurses and office staff laying mangled within the room she dared to look in. Vomit was caught up in her throat, tears threatening her eyes as she continued to look as the fly and maggot ridden bodies, throats ripped out, inner organs shredded out through their stomachs- she couldn't even tell if what also marked their oozing bloodied bodies were claw marks or knife cuttings. Blood was splattered about the room: up the walls, even on the ceiling which made the girl gag even more as her eyes finally found the horrid sight of the doctor hanging half shredded out of the ceiling vent, his blood still dripping out of the vent opening and creating a puddle meters beneath.
Angelina pulled her eyes off the terrifying scene and broke out into a run, turning into the next corridor of the ward to find even more dead hospital staff "Love of an angel, death of a demon, as a Hypnotic finds the first just like her. Cursed by birth, by demon and angel, to kill one and die, feeling deaths as he repeats the cycle" this voice started howling into her head as she continued to run until the clumsy girl tripped over her feet and fell face-first into the floor.
Angelina's eyes shot open, darting around the place as she found herself draped over a soldier's shoulder, him carrying her down a corridor she didn't recognise yet lined with more kids' rooms.
"Rotting bone, bleeding flesh. To kill and die, dying will hurt her and him" one boy recited over and over again whilst a girl in the next room rambled too "Bitten flesh, no blood, bitten flesh, no blood". The corridor was almost the exact same to the one she walked down a couple 'days' ago... every child starting to lose every drop of sanity and humanity they had.
The girl harshly pinched the nape of the soldier's neck, digging her nails in as well, enough to make it bleed, the soldier flinched and swore, throwing Angelina off of his shoulder as he rubbed the back of his neck. She fell onto the ground, hissing in pain before quickly scrambling up onto her feet and running off as the soldier ran after her "Doctor Ruins- 4N63L is escaping again, running through corridor nineteen" the soldier ranted into the radio, receiving his answer from his boss "On my way". At this point, her lungs were so sore, she couldn't tell if they'd self-explode on her or make her strong urge to vomit worse as she pudded her bare feet harshly against the titled flooring and around the corner, into the next corridor 'Don't pass out, don't pass out' her mind screamed at her body which was already screaming sore and tired, her pace starting to slow.
She needed to by herself some time, and that's exactly what she did.
Reaching the end of the next corridor, Angelina took her chance and pulled the closest fire alarm before continuing to force herself to run, her bad asthma kicking in as she struggled to keep air coming in and out of her lungs whilst an awful blaring alarm went off, causing the chasing soldier to flinch a little as it went off, giving her a little more running time.
James and Patryk started down the stairs leading down into the hospital basement as the rushed message came through the radio "Doctor Ruins- 4N63L is escaping again, running through corridor nineteen" a soldier ranted, followed by an answer "On my way" from Alex himself. "Shit" James hissed under his breath as both him and Patryk rushed down the flight of stairs as fast as they could, the greyed soldier quickly leading the way through the maze-like layout of the basement before a few minutes later, the fire alarm went off "Shit!" both of them snapped, breaking out into a run down the corridor, following the signs towards 'C.E Containment'.
Dianne quickly made her way down each and every corridor, cooing and hushing her little baby every now and then before entering the main office area "Doctor Ruins- 4N63L is escaping again, running through corridor nineteen" "On my way" voices stated over the radio, causing the woman to dart over to Alex's office door, not caring if the assistants saw her, swiped the ID card and slipped into the room, closing and locking the door behind herself before grabbing one of the desk chairs and pushing it up to jam the doorknob. She rushed over to the desk, going through the draws yet the journal listing the spell was gone "No no no" Dianne panickly muttered under her breath before taking a moment to calm herself and think, trying to remember what she read from the journal entries.
'My brother has given the order to kill the witch once the spell is done so that is exactly what I did. I've taken the time rune she has made and placed it in my safe until the end of the project.'
Dianne quickly moved to the electronically coded safe beneath Alex's desk, punching in a set of numbers. Wrong. She tried another set and then another, and another... all were wrong. She thought for a moment before hesitantly punching in the numbers '021426' and miraculously, the safe unlocked.
The pin code? The date Braxton was supposed to be born on.
She quickly opened the safe door and grabbed out a small silvery stone with a rune carved into it and as she did, the fire alarm went off, making baby Braxton cry. "Crap" she hissed, quickly smashing the rock down on the desk, easily breaking it in half. Dianne pulled out the radio "Pat, James-" she half spoke before jumping and dropping the radio out of her hand as people who saw her rush into the office started pounding on the door. She stared back at the door, holding her baby closely in her arms "Dianne!" James' voice yelled in worry over the radio, enough to push her into action. Dianne rushed over to the wall where a control box stood, she quickly opened it, her eyes running over each label before finding the emergency buttons to unlock certain wards' doors... and she hit all of them.
"Pat, James-" her voice cut out on the radio as Patryk and James continued to run down the mazed corridor, the soldier pulled out his radio as he ran "Dianne?" yet no answer "Dianne!" he yelled into it as they rounded the corner, stopping at the door of the C.B Containment ward "Di-" mid-word, James was cut off as the door to the containment ward opened "She's in the office- come on" Patryk said, rushing through the opened door with James following close behind.
Every single cell held a cannibalised demon and devil that the Grey Army had experimented on. Each one held bloodlust in their eyes, stuck in their demonic forms, growling and butting the cell bars as Patryk and James quickly made their way down the long line of cells and to the control panel at the end of the corridor.
"How do we get them out?" Patryk asked as James shrugged his shoulders "I don't know- I was kind of hoping they were wrong about the demons and devils" the soldier admitted as the teen rolled his eyes and scanned the panel, not stopping until he found a red button with a picture of a cell door on it "...how fast can you run?" Patryk asked as James' eyes widened a little whilst he shook his head "No- have you ever tried to outrun a cannibalised celestial before?" "About to" the teen said pressing the button. Both of them immediately broke out into a run down the horrid corridor as a new alarm sounded and every cell door slowly opened, and the second the two rushed out of the room and made the mistake of looking back, every single demon and devil burst out of their cells and ran down the corridor towards them "Fuck- go!" Patryk yelled as him and James rushed down the maze-like corridors like their lives depended on it.
With the fire alarm going off and their doors cracking open, the children slowly filed out of their rooms, looking around to see no soldiers or doctors or nurses in sight before breaking out into a run, filing down the corridor to find their way out of this horrid centre.
Holly, Faith, Lilly, Jacob, Vixen and Tom immediately found each other. "The hell's happening?" Faith was the first to question, being met with the same confused and unsure face as the others, Tom looked around the rushing children "I don't see Angelina or Corey" he stated "You think they pulled the alarm?" Holly questioned as Vixen shook his head "Corey hadn't came back from his 'treatment'" he told them "Angelina pulled another runner so she could be anywhere..." Tom thought aloud before looking at the others. "You guys help get everyone out, I'll head to the surgical ward to get Corey" Tom stated, getting nods from everyone "I'm coming with you" Vixen told the oldest teen "Safety in numbers" "Right, let's go" and like that, they split off into two groups; the majority of the group assisting with the escape whilst Tom and Vixen towards the surgical ward.
It took a while yet finally Holly, Faith, Lilly and Jacob reached the near front of the group of children and as they did, the group rounded the corner, quickly finding the corridor full of adults "GO BACK!" Faith screamed to the children behind them, all of them running as the soldiers, nurses and doctors chased after the kids, catching some and missing some. A good few of the kids turned around and ran at them, knocking the adults down to the ground, hitting and kicking them as hard as they could, majority of the attacking children getting flung or hit in the process.
Absolute chaos.
Patryk and James darted up the basement stairs and hid in the first room they could find and the cannibalistic demons and devils poured out into the hospital and down all of the corridors.
It took less than a second for the screaming to start.
The lights went out, blaring with the fire alarm and slow flashing red lights all throughout the building "...trained, huh?" Patryk quietly snapped at James as he glared back at him "Celestials have the natural instinct to protect children, they won't attack the children" "And what about us?" "They're trained to attack whatever soldier they find" James spat. "You couldn't mention that?" "She asked for a distraction" "Releasing killing machines is more than a fucking distraction" Patryk harshly whispered before they took a moment to listen, waiting for the screaming to be a good couple of corridors away before daring to step out of the room they were hiding in.
They quickly and quietly made their way into the surgical ward, finding panicking doctors and soldiers rushing throughout the ward as a tall horrid-looking devil ran into the room, taring its way through its terrified crowd "Holy shit" James muttered under his breath as Patryk bit his tongue, not liking the idea that he thought of, and seeing the look on the boy's face, James immediately started shaking his head "We're not fucking going through that" he stated. "Does it look like we have any other choice?" Patryk spat back before grabbing James by the wrist and dragging him through the crowd, beating their way through pushing and pulling people. Constantly ducking and dodging flying bullets, objects, furniture, bloody disembodied limbs, etc. They stuck close to the wall, staying out of the devil's view "Wait" James spoke as the teen in front of him stopped "What?" Patryk questioned, watching the other nod to the lighter in the pocket of a dead body and the medicine alcohol cabinet in the room beside him "Thinking what I'm thinking?" James asked, getting a nod from the teen as they both rushed into the room. The two grabbed out every single flammable bottle out of the cabinet, quickly tore up the bedsheets off of the bed and made a good dozen or so molotov cocktails, rushing back out of the room, Patryk grabbing the lighter and lighting all of the molotov wicks before the two started throwing them as they moved towards the door, being careful to not hit the devil and accidentally anger it and aiming at already dead bodies or blank spots on the floor, keeping both the devil and crowd away from them. Once they got to the door, James threw his last bottle at another medicine cabinet, perfectly hitting as it exploded into a strong flame before the two ran out of the ward and down the corridor.
