After Elaina talked to Evee, she looks up and sees where she fell, then looks at her surroundings to see that she is in a portion of the building’s basement which was dimly lit by light fixtures.
“From the second floor to the basement...” She speaks to herself while holding her back in pain. “I need to find a way to get back upstairs.”
She starts to slowly walk out of a room she fell from into the corridor where the man left to. The corridor leads her to a wide space made of concrete walls with leaky pipes on the ceiling with little to no lighting. Elaina takes out her gun at the ready with her flashlight lighting the area and sees four stairways guarded by four grated doors and three dim lit hallways leading. Seeing there were four separate stairways leading upstairs caused Elaina to sigh in annoyance.
“Damn!” She curses. “At this rate, I'm never going to get to her!”
She then looks to her right at a wall, and sees a map showing her from the basement to the 13th floor of the building, making breathe a sigh of relief. “Now this can help me.”
Elaina then takes out her phone and starts to take pictures of the building layout. During the picture taking, she sees one of her photos showing a dark shadow over the map which confuses her.
“What?” She comments. “The flash is on. What’s wrong with my phone?”
As she deletes the picture to take another one, she sees what looks like a tall shadow figure overshadowing the map and the wall, then hears faint whispering come close to her ear. “...E... lai...na.”
She gasps and quickly turns around with her gun in hand to see nothing. She then turns back to see no shadow over the map, nor the wall, leaving her bewildered.
“What the fuck was that? What called me?” She asks herself.
As Elaina contemplates what she saw, she hears an ear-piercing scream, causing her to run where screaming came from with her gun in hand.
. . .
As Elaina runs through a concrete hallway, she hears a female’s voice struggling and a male’s voice grunting.
“SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!” The female screams.
“Shut up, you little bitch!” The male sneers. “No one's going to help you! Be good and open your legs for me!”
Elaina hears the voices get closer, Elaina turns the corner to see a man on top of a woman, making Elaina quickly run up behind the man and strike him in the back of his bald head with the butt of her gun, knocking him out. Elaina pushes the man off of the woman and see she is naked with fair skin, thin build, scars on her arms, stomach, legs, ruffled short black hair, and had a black eye on her young face.
“Are you alright?” Elaina asks with concern.
Elaina puts her gun back into its holster and extends her hand to the woman. As the woman takes Elaina's hand and gets up, staring at her with disbelief.
“Uh, hello?” Elaina asks.
She waves her hand in front of the woman’s face trying to get her attention.
“Elaina Beckett.” The woman speaks. “Mother of the Heiress. Mother of Blood. Here...”
Elaina looks at her confused. “What did you call me?”
“You don't know?” The woman asks. “Then you must come with me, Mrs. Beckett. Sister Mary will tell you what you need to know; about you, Evee, and Mr. Beckett.”
“Mr. Beckett? Alvin? That's who I'm trying to find. Where is he?”
“…That, I don't know. Maybe Sister might know, or the Brother's leader.”
As confused as she was, Elaina decides not to think any further of the woman’s statement, and looks at the man she knocked out. She sees the multiple scars all over his body which concerned Elaina. “Is he a part of this "Brothers" group?”
“Not at all.” The woman responds. “I was trying to get back to Sister, but he came and attacked after me. So now, I'm going back to see Sister and you should come with me.”
“No. I have to find my daughter right now.”
The woman thinks about Elaina’s statement and remembers one of the people she knows is wandering the floors.
“I have a feeling that one of the women I know might have found her and is taking her to our sanctuary.” She assures.
The woman finds her clothes which were dingy and tattered white patient clothes and puts them on.
“You’re a patient here?” Elaina asks.
“Yes, I am.” The woman replies.
Elaina takes out her gun. “Do you know how to make it to the second floor?”
“From here, yes.”
“Then let's go. By the way, what's your name?”
“Amy. Subject E27, but people call me Squeak.”
Elaina nods. “Nice to meet you.”
“No, the pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Beckett.”
As they start to walk back to the open space, the man wakes up screaming, and lunges at Squeak, grabbing her by her legs and causing her to fall to the ground. The man starts to climb on top of Squeak.
“YOU FUCKING WHORE!!” He shouts. “I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!!”
Before the man could attack Squeak again, Elaina shoots the man in the shoulder, causing him to loosen his grip on Squeak and fall to the floor face first. Squeak moves out of the way while Elaina lays her weight on top of the man and aims her gun at the back of his head, as she puts his injured arm behind his back in a lock.
“It would be best for you to calm down if you want to keep breathing!” Elaina orders.
The man quietly snarls. “Is that the real whore of that prick of a doctor that I hear? Did you do this to Beckett when you were fucking him, just to make your way to the top?!”
Squeak feels disgusted with the man’s words. “How dare you?! You damn blasphemer!”
“Be quiet, Squeak!” Elaina commands her while she pays attention to the man. “You certainly have a mouth on you. If you know of me, then you know I can break your arm, or scramble whatever brains you have left!”
“Bitch,” The man responds. “I was one of the guys that you arrested, remember? We all know about you and the doctor working together in this shit. I hope you, and the rest of these whores funking die!”
Out of instinct, Elaina breaks the man's arm and knocks him unconscious with the butt of her gun, then looks at Squeak while taking a deep breath to calm down.
“Okay.” Elaina speaks as she stands up. “Let's see this 'Sister Mary', and let's hope Evee is there in this 'sanctuary' you're talking about.”
Squeak nods in agreement. “Follow me.”
Squeak then guides Elaina out of the hallway back into the wide space with the four locked cage doors. Squeak takes out an unfolded paperclip and walks to one of the four doors to pick its lock. Within moments, Squeak unlocks the door, and the women run upstairs to the next floor.
. . . . .
In another area of the building, Evee is carried by the woman on her back as they traveled into what appears to be a destroyed locker room with a few of them knocked over and portions of the ceiling caved in and fallen, and the walls crumbling.
“So,” Evee speaks to the woman. “You know my name, what’s yours?”
“My name is I-Iyana. B-But I'm called T-Twitch here.” She responds.
“Oh. Nice to meet you, Twitch.”
“Nice to meet you as well. A-As of right now, we need to get to the s-sanctuary. We don't want to run into a-a-anybody else.”
Twitch then stops walking as she hears nearby stomping. She quickly puts Evee down and hides Evee in one of the lockers; quietly closing it. Twitch then quickly hides underneath a large amount of rubble she could crawl through. In the seconds that she did so, she sees a big boot in her line of sight.
“Shit… Galvin…” She mutters under her breath.
Galvin looks around the locker room to see no one, then smells the air.
“Ahh...” Galvin speaks. “You were here, weren't you, Blood? Along with that twitchy whore. I’ll find all of you real soon.”
Galvin then hears footsteps approaching, and sees a skinny man, half his height, wearing tattered clothes that ran into him, causing him the skinny man to fall onto his back. The man looks up at the giant and burly Galvin who face looked menacing, he becomes terrified and screams. Galvin quickly picks the smaller man up by his neck, and strangles him. The man struggles to breathe as he claws and punches Galvin’s hand to let him go, but Galvin’s grip tightens, causing the man to grab his wrist.
“Shh...” Galvin whispers. “Your pain will end soon. Just go easy.”
The man kicks Galvin in his side, making the giant snap the man's neck, and letting his body drop on the floor. Galvin then looks down at his victim.
“You aren't to blame. Beckett is. Wait 'til I find him, and those two whores of his.”
As he leaves out of the area about several feet away, Twitch gets out from under the rubble, and goes to the locker to get Evee out.
“W-We need to hurry to the sanctuary.” She whispers to her.
Twitch then picks Evee up and picks up the pace out of the locker room going into an opposite path, that Galvin walked to, that was an L shaped hallway.
“How far is it?” Evee whispers.
“St-Still a way to go.” Twitch replies. “We got to hurry.”
As she turns the corner in the hallway, she sees the portion of it is full of dead bodies, doctors, security, and patients alike. She covers Evee’s face from looking at the grotesque scene, walking as quickly as she could to get out of the area until she found a door that was partially open. She opens it and closes it behind her, finding herself in a pitch-black area. Twitch attempts to turn on her flashlight, but sees that it would not turn on anymore.
“Crap!” She whispers. “Now I w-won't be able to see.”
Evee then takes out the camcorder from her pocket she took earlier, and gives it to Twitch. “Use this.”
Twitch puts Evee down and turns on the camcorder, and its night vision. Twitch sighs with relief. “M-Much better, thanks.”
Twitch puts her blade away, and looks through the camcorder while holding Evee close to her. Twitch could see blood stains on the floor, and a distinct blood trail, and follows it. The trail stops, leading her into a well-lit room with a mess with tables, trays, and drink machines strewn across the place. Twitch turns the camcorder off, remembering where they are. “Th-This is the cafeteria.”
Twitch then hears something hacking into meat and a wet sound. She puts the camcorder in one of her pockets, and slowly walks to where the sound was coming from. She slowly follows the sound that guides her to a breakroom’s window. From afar, she hears a microwave start in the breakroom. Just as Twitch reaches the window, a bloody explosion comes from the microwave and splatters over the window itself, which she makes Evee look away from the mess. She then sees a man with a fit frame with some muscle, pale skin, long straggly brunette hair, and wearing bloody orange pants, dragging a corpse of a security guard with a bloody neck stump. With a machete in his hand, the man cuts open the corpse’s chest, pulls it apart, and begins to eat the remains of it. The man then looks at Twitch with a sadistic look in his grey eyes.
“What're you looking' at?!” The man yells at her. “Can't you see we're having a moment?!”
Twitch chose not to respond as she twitched her eye uncontrollably out of anger. She then sees the man brush his hands on the corpse’s chest.
“He bleeds so well...” He breathes out.
He then plunges his arm inside the corpse’s chest and takes out its heart. As he holds the corpse's heart, he looks at Twitch in her eyes, chuckling sinisterly. “Can you bleed for me, Iyana?”
“Fuck off to Hell, Daniel!” She hisses.
Then, the man, Daniel, looks down to see Evee hiding her face from him, and smirks.
“Or... Should I have the child shed her royal blood for me?”
He starts laughing maniacally at the thought which makes Twitch glare at him as she picks Evee up, holding her close. “You best keep away from her!”
She then runs out of the cafeteria with Evee in her arms. Daniels chuckles. “And so, the chase begins...”
He then resumes eating the remains of the corpse and pants joyously as he did so.
