The Creation of The Traitor

Expendable

I wake up and look around. Sebastian wasn't in the room, he must have left to collect whatever he could use. I stretch and yawn. I get up from the floor and decide to leave the room. The vent was a hassle to get out of. I don't know how Sebastian manages to get in and out of this vent. I finally get out of the vent and into the hallway. I look around and noticed something felt off, but I was not sure what. I roam through the halls, keeping an eye out for anything.

After some time of wondering, I can smell a scent that has been lingering for some time. Occasionally, I can hear footsteps and doors opening or closing but never found who was activating them. Whatever it was, it moved fast. It seems to always be in a hurry as they walked in a fast pace. I follow the scent as it was getting stronger, and I now can tell it's a human. Their scent is mixed with sweat, salty water, and blood. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. The blood was making me hungry, and I had no luck in finding food. But I'm really curious why a human would be down here.

As I slowly made my way around a corner, I see the human. I look at them closely. They are wearing a dark blue-greyish diver suit, an oxygen tank strapped onto their back, and a large  empty container. I watch their movements. They are going through the drawers on the desk and occasionally looking at the shelves. It looks like they are collecting things. Maybe they are helping Sebastian into collecting loose items?

I move out from behind the corner, the human's back was facing me. I wanted to see them up close. I move closer to them and get behind them. Confused on how they still haven't heard me approach them. They began to walk forward, heading towards the door at the end of the hall, and I follow them. I was amazed at how they still haven't heard me. I'm a big creature, and there's no way they can't hear the occasional thudding of my tail hitting the floor. The human walks towards a desk and begins to rummage through the drawers. I watch as they open all the drawers and then walk away. I got a little annoyed by them leaving the drawers open and began to close them. This is when the human stops dead in their track and turns around very slowly, looking at me wide-eyed. I stare back, slowly closing one of the drawers, the drawer making a long squeaking sound until it's finally all the way closed.

Now it's awkward, us starting at each other in silence. As we stare at each other, my stomach rumbles, and the human now looks at me more terrified. I look up at them and scoot back, "Uh, do you happen to have a snack or anything on you?" I ask awkwardly. The human looks shocked and then quickly grabs their bag and goes through it. They pull out a bag of chips. I offer my hand out for them to place the bag. They look at me scared and slowly put the bag of chips into my hand and quickly pull back. I thanked them and struggle to open the chips. The package was small in my hands, and I couldn't grab the top of the bag with my claws being in the way. I struggle to open the bag more and sigh in defeat. I look at the human, who was looking at me in confusion and curiosity. I give them the bag and they take it, open it, and give it back to me. I again thank them again and began to put the chips through my muzzle, eating them.

After a few minutes, I finish the bag and toss the bag into the trash can next to the desk. I look down at the human again, "Soooo. What are you here for?" I ask. They look at me, concerned, "Why are you asking? Is there someone who sent you to ask? Who are you? How can you speak? Are you going to kill me? Are you working for the gov-","No" I cut off the human, "just answer my question, " I said in annoyance. "The company sent me to collect the last of their stuff basically," the human answered. I raise a brow, "Oh? So they aren't done with this place? How do they expect you to gather all their lost experiments that are on the lose, there has to be more of you around here." I say as I look down at the human in confusion. "They only want me to collect important things like data, and its just me they sent," the human responds. Dumbfounded by the question, I look around, looking at all the scatters things like paper, trash, and furniture in the halls. "What," I say even more confused, "They are leaving the experiments here to die?" I ask. "Well, you guys are under lock down in this place, so yeah, basically. Cause I know for sure they will kill you if you try to leave this facility," the human looks up at me.

I frown. This can't make sense. They are sending one person down here to collect their stuff? They are just letting the experiments run around here until they die? What are we going to do? I look down at the human again, wondering what I should do. Would Sebastian know anything about this? An idea pops up into my head. I can tell the human was nervous as my eyes wandered around the room while I was thinking and then suddenly shot towards them. "You're coming with me," I said as I grab the human who was about to object to the idea but was cut off as I put my hand on their mouth. I began to go back to Sebastian's place.
