The Afari

12

The Next Day............

I ran through the woods knowing that the rest of my group was chasing me and each other. I ran out into a clearing and loaded an icier and shot it into the sky. The noise echoed throughout the woods. I loaded my bullets and fired as a few from my group ran out. I had loaded them with the serum, it was a tranq dart but it looked just like a normal one but it deteriorated after a few minutes so even if they did find it they couldn’t tell. They crumpled to the ground a few feet away and I could hear the Afari running towards me. I shot the first one that came out with a normal bullet and it howled in pain before loading a tranq one and shooting me in the stomach. It went straight into my gut and I sunk to the ground. Fake blood mixed with my own seeped out of where it had hit me and I crumpled to the ground. I pretended to gasp for air and I let out a small scream as I was dragged upwards by my hair. Everything began to go dark and I saw an Afari licking its lips. Yes because that was just such a wonderful sign I thought before it all went dark.

Hands grabbed at me and my left eye or maybe it was my right? I wasn’t quite sure but it was peeled open and there was a night light shining in it.

"Are you sure that this is the one?" I heard someone ask.

"Yes" Someone else replied and my eye became closed. I could barely breathe and I was hoping that the serum lasted a long time.

"Come on you know the drill, worthless in the pile and strip the good" A voice said. I heard things being thrown and I was picked up. My head fell back and my arms dangled. After a few minutes something cold hard and metal pressed against my back and I heard cutting and ripping. My back was lifted up and placed back down on the cold surface. I heard a snap and I felt my bra come loose. This happened last time just not as bad. It’s still the same thing though I'll be ok. I tried to tell myself. The lower half was lifted up and I felt my pants and underwear being cut away from me. I was going to murder whoever was doing this I thought I was turned over and the person lifted my arms and legs up as well as pushing into my stomach.

"There is an entry wound but no closing" A voice said.

"Ok prep for surgery and we'll look for it" another replied. This was not going as expected. I felt something cold being pressed against my skin and I felt something sharp dig into my flesh. I could barely feel it but I knew what was happening. If they cut me open I could bleed to death possibly. My insides twisted and turned as something moved through them until it left

"Nothing's there" A voice said.

"Then close her back up" One replied. I felt something move through my skin for a few minutes before it stopped moving.

"What now?" A voice asked.

"Check her out and see if she meet's requirements" I hoping that either it would last longer until they all left or I would be able to move and kill them soon. I was flipped over and what felt like a hand pressed onto my back before flipping me over. I heard people mumbling and I lay there helplessly as whomever it was continued to poke at me. After a few minutes it stopped and I hear footsteps receding.

"Should we amber her?" One asked.

'No not yet not until we have done further study for now put her in that pile" Someone replied. I was picked up and tossed. I landed on what felt like other people. My hand landed on what felt like a boob and by back on someone else’s front. I mentally freaked and something was thrown over me. From what it felt like I guessed it was another person. I forced my eyes open to see a dead man there and I made a face. I slowly started to inch him away when I heard a loud noise and all of the bodies started to move. I forced myself to play dead and not react as I slipped from the pile and hit the floor. I dared not open an eye when I heard footsteps stop in front of me. My heart beat was still really slow and my foot was grabbed and I was dragged. I didn’t fight and I hit a cold wall and my leg was dropped. I heard a light switch and feet hurrying away and a door click locked. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I sighed in relief when I saw a pile of clothes and I pulled on a bra and underwear along with a shirt one size to big and a pair of leggings. I looked around and spotted Jane, Erin, Kale, Jody, and Fang moving around. I grabbed some clothes and tossed Jane and Fang some since they had woken like me. They thanked me and pulled the clothes on. I looked at my stomach to see that there was no scar or mark form where they tied my stomach shut. I sighed in relief and looked at all of them

"Having fun yet" I laughed. They all gave me looks and I dug threw a few drawers before finding a small pocket knife and shoving it in my pocket

"Find anything you can that could be used as a weapon" I said glancing over at them. They nodded and dug through the drawers. After a few minutes we had all found weapons.

"Ok so this is the blue print" I said pulling it up in a computer "This must be the drill now we need to get there and destroy it" I stated looking over at them. They nodded

"Let’s do this you and you come with me we'll take the left and you guys take the right" I said before opening the door. Even though I still had clothes on I felt exposed. Jane and Fang followed me down the hallway. There wasn't any Afari roaming around and it made me wonder. I shook the thought from my head and we continued down the hallway to a large door where we met up with Erin,

"See anything?" I asked

"Ya they took Jody down with them" Erin said. I just noticed he was missing

"OK did you take him down?" I asked. She nodded and I crept through the door. I stared in awe when I saw a huge black and red drill in the center of the room. It was huge taking up over half of it. There were lots of guards there and I saw a small and clear path. I pointed in that direction and we snuck over to it. I took out an Afari a few feet away and dragged him to the side of the room. I froze when I saw a familiar Afari keeping watch. It was the same one that we had captured the one who had killed Ethon. Fang touched my shoulder snapping me out of my thoughts and I kept moving keeping an eye on the Afari though. We were almost to the control center

"Go ahead I'm gonna do something" I whispered to them

"What?" Erin asked.

"Take down that son of a bitch" I said coldly
