The Abnormal

~Chapter 10~

-Colored in Red

(Elena's POV- Still the Day of Finals)

I am tired. I feel as if I want to pass out. I look over to see Alex looks just as bad as me. I look up at the timer. It has now stopped.

'1hr: 23min: 47sec'

How have we gotten through that! My legs give way and I hit the cold hard ground. I wince in pain and can barely breathe. A few seconds later I hear another thud and look across the room to see Alex's legs have also gave away. He is bruised....Badly. He is colored in red. I probably look just as bad.

It was a live or die feeling the whole time. Even though we probably wouldn't have died. But after we nearly died multiple times. We got the feeling they were not going to do anything until the monsters were gone. And it was true. They didn't. Being only the first year of them doing the test like this, only results to this is it was a live or die situation. We can only hope others make it out of this death place.

(Alex's POV)

I fell to the floor moments after Elena. She looked dead as she struggled to breath. She was covered in cuts and blood stained her pale skin. The purple streaks in her hair are now dark red. Shes in bad shape. I could almost cry. I feel so sorry for her. Her once happy and full of life self was now completely gone. She looked completely out of it. If you were to have never met her, and see her right now. You would think she was never happy from the look on her face.

I probably looked just as bad. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but she soon goes unconscious. I start to slip away too, holding on as long as I can. Right before I knock out I hear the door open and people rush to our side putting us on stretchers. I whimper in pain just as I go into a deep sleep.

I think to myself....

Will I make it?

-One Week Later-

I slowly open my eyes to the sound of beeping that is now apparent to me as if my ears just started to work again. I squint my eyes at the sudden burst of bright light. My eyes soon adjust so I can open them fully. I look around and take in my surroundings. I'm in the hospital. In the two greenish chairs next to each side of my hospital bed are Aiden and Seven fast asleep. They have bruises and cuts that look like they are almost healed.

WHAT?! ALMOST HEALED! HOW LONG WAS I OUT?! My heart rate starts to fasten and the monitor obviously picked up too. Doctors rush into my room, causing Aiden and Seven to wake up. They tell them they must leave to ask me a few questions and get me fix up for release. I start to calm down a little. As soon as they leave they start asking questions.

"How long was I out for?" I ask scared of the answer.

"One week." He says simply.

"Oh, no." I mumble under my breath.

"Do you remember your name, and if so what is it?" He asked.

"Uh... Alex...um..Alex Thomson." I say, my throat hurting from not talking and all the screaming.

"Do you remember what happened? What day it was?" He asks.

"It was Finals day. Me and my friend were doing our performance test. We were in bad condition and we both fell unconscious." I say wincing at the horrible memory.

"Do you remember your friends name?" He questions.

"Elena Sarcov." I say now worried to how she is doing.
