When Kelly first walked in front of the hospital with people surrounding it, she thought it was a godsend. She was already extremely worried about Cody's health, who seemed to be hanging on a thread for his life.
They had been travelling together for days now, and he had always helped her a lot, but she never felt like she had done anything to return the favour.
In the first place, Cody was only around 15 years old, he was a teenager, and yet in this world where she was an adult and a teacher no less, it felt like she was being a burden on him.
However, after everything that had occurred, Kelly soon learnt that this wasn't a godsend at all. In fact, it was a complete nightmare. After Cody had gotten treatment and she was informed he was now safe, the Doctor set up another meeting with her.
She was sitting in the office, directly opposite the Doctor's, but rather than in his seat, he was standing up and walking around as he talked. They had already talked about a strange subject, whether or not she knew about these beings that were superhuman.
Although one person's face came to mind, she decided to ignore that as an answer and just said she was unaware of any of that, which moved the conversation onward.
"Your friend is recovering well, and there will no longer be any problems. It was a good thing that you got him to me in time. Otherwise, with a fever like that, outside, the zombies would eat him up in seconds.
"I would say that I did a pretty big favour for you, correct?" The Doctor asked with a grin.
Kelly didn't know where this was going, but she assumed that the Doctor might want her to now do things around the place and Cody as well once he gets back on his feet. So she just put on a fake smile and nodded.
"Great, so you agree that I was the one that saved his life, so in return for saving a life, then it means that another life is now mine, correct?" The Doctor was now directly standing in front of her saying these words, and a strange feeling was being given off.
Immediately, Kelly stood up. She had felt this feeling from certain people before, one of them being Cobra, and she immediately wanted to get out of there, but before she could stand up, the Doctor put both hands on her shoulders.
She was ready to fight through, kick, bite and scratch her way at the person in front of her to get out of this place. There was no longer the chance to play nice, but she never got the chance to fight back.
Because immediately after being touched by the Doctor, she could feel a strange motion coming over her. Her pupils started to enlarge, and the feeling around her whole body was getting numb. Before she knew it, control of her mouth and other parts of her body felt foreign to her. It was as if someone else was controlling her body, or for the lack of better words, it was as if she was in a theatre, watching a live telecast of her life through her eyes.
Kelly, although awake and there, wasn't really there in front of the Doctor, she was almost absent from her mind, and when she finally got a hold of herself, she found herself in one of the operating rooms.
'',
There were several bright white lights, trays of equipment and tools next to her. When she tried to move, she found herself strapped to a chair and couldn't even budge from the spot. She tried to tug, twirl, and pull, but it was impossible for her to break free.
"Ah, you're awake!" The Doctor's voice entered her ears, making her flinch. The man then walked in front of her, snapping on a glove and now in scrubs compared to the normal long white overcoat that he had on before. "Honestly, if I could, I would like to make this as painless as possible
"Unfortunately, for this experiment, I will need you to feel everything for this to…work." The Doctor added as he went to grab a tool.
"Remember our small talk about superhumans? Well, what if I told you they exist? Reports from groups and from similar observations have been coming around that there are people with different abilities all over the place.
"What type of abilities they have, I don't really have the whole picture. However, I plan to find out how and why everything happened. Was it due to the current caution, a mutation of the virus or something else? Maybe there might even be a way to unlock this power in others.
"Fortunately, you and your friend are a small group of two without any backing, so no matter what I do to you, it most likely will only anger one person, and we can deal with that. Don't worry though, I won't kill him no matter what happens to you.
"I just saved his life after all."
------
Right now, unstrapped Kelly was on the table, and the strange dopey state she was in was starting to wear off. Honestly, she couldn't remember much of what the Doctor had done to her. However, her body was heavily damaged in places.
Her hair was wet, she no longer had her own fingernails either, as well as multiple scratches on her body, but worst of all, she felt sick and weak. Only slowly was she remembering the Doctor taking blood samples and comparing them with other blood, as well as some of the torture procedures she had gone through.
That quickly left her mind as her brain attempted to delete such a horrific event. As she finally came to, though, she knew that she needed to get out of the place.
She was strapped in once more, but her mind was in a better place.
'I see no way out of this.' Kelly thought. 'There's nothing I can grab, kick or spit out of my mouth like in those movies together…I guess there is only one thing I can do.'
With this thought in mind, Kelly screamed as loud as she could, hoping that maybe someone could hear, that something could happen that would help her out of the current situation, and a moment later, a few gunshots were heard.
'What's going on? Don't tell me it's because… of me?' Kelly frowned.
——
'
After the gunshots resounded, it was time for Cody to spring into action. He was told by Brandon that maybe this plan would take a day or so, or perhaps half a day. Yet, Cody had decided to be ready to go at the drop of a hat, and if he needed to, he was going to go ahead with the plan.
This was why Cody had sat down right at the front of the reception, and during that time, he had kept his eyes off the metal doors. During the chaos, Cody found an opportunity and ran forward while everyone was just thinking and turning their heads, looking at one thing.
It was the exit hallway of the hospital, with two metallic double doors with glass windows, but not only that, there was a problem outside as well. Knowing this, Cody opened the door and kicked it as hard as he could, swinging both of them outward.
Upon reaching halfway of its max opening, the door hit both of the guards in the arm. It had surprised them both, and they fumbled with what to do.
Reaching down to his ankle, Cody pulled out a small knife that he had hidden just underneath his sock. Immediately, turning and looking at the man, Cody threw it as hard as he could, and it pierced the man's neck. Blood splurged out of it before he could no longer breathe and passed out.
'I thought I would be okay with killing a human after killing so many zombies, but it's still a vastly different feeling to what I expected.' Cody thought. 'Either way, to save Kelly and my own life, I need to act and deal with both of the guards' Cody thought.
After taking out one guard, Cody picked up his small blade and threw it at the other, stabbing him in the thigh. But only a small amount of blood came out from his thick tree trunk-like thighs.
The guard pulled out the blade and didn't seem bothered, as if Cody's attack had done nothing. In the next moment, the guard threw the blade back at Cody. The latter's fast reflexes allowed him to dodge the attack, but now he was in a dangerous situation.
Because, for one, the guard had pulled out the gun on the other hand, and now Cody was just standing there with his hands up as the gun was pointed at atheism, ready to deal with him at any second.
'I needed to take out both of the guards..and call the others for help that Brandon had…now..now, what do I do.' Cody thought.
Looking at the relatively large man, Cody imagined kicking his head, but it was too high and the man too large. Regardless, before he could even act, he saw a foot hit the man the next second right in the side of the head, knocking him out completely.
"I didn't think I would see you here." A woman appeared in front of him with a smile, standing behind the fallen man.
It was a familiar face for Cody.
