220 Chambers Worth Searching
We moved out of the section of the building as I looked around-trying to see any more crewmen running through the ship. Figures it wasn’t too hard, because everywhere was filled with crewmen.
“Wow, this place is packed,” Nikki said anxiously, as we continued to make our way slowly to the next section of the ship, which was probably the other half of the ship, anyway.
There was a big split, like a lower floor of the ship, before there were two stairs positioned on two sides that led back up to the main floor of the ship. And in between the stairs were more crewmen running about, carrying supplies and yelling at each other at the top of their lungs. “Why do they yell so loud?” Nikki asked, shaking her head worriedly, but I didn’t have any answer for her as I looked around myself and tried to figure out where we were exactly.
We had come out into a wide-open area which had three massive stairways on each side of it. There were also more crewmen here, but they seemed to be rushing about with all of their might, so that they could make it to a certain place faster than others-as if they were trying to beat a race or something.
“Okay, the section should be up ahead,” I said as we moved forward, as shadows from other people slowly made their way close to us, as if they were trying not to get lost in the crowd.
“Looks like everyone is moving about,” Nikki muttered worriedly, before she began to look around as she shook her head rapidly. Soon enough we arrived to the section, and relief washed over my head as I saw that it was empty, except for me. “Good.”
“Now what?” Nikki asked as she looked around, still clearly nervous about this whole ordeal. Looking at her, I returned, “We search.” Quickly making our way inside the building, we came across two halls backed up by some stairs and doors. “Alright, we split?” Nikki asked. Immediately, I shook my head as she looked at me in surprise.
“I ain’t trying to lose you again,” I said, shaking my head excessively. “Not today.”
“We’ll it has been the same day. It’s getting to night,” she said, looking outside of the window.
.....
“It’s already night, I believe,” I said, before we moved to the right. Making our way through the hall, I checked each door-hoping to see any sign of prisons or any chambers of any sorts. The second one was a small room with nothing more than a bed with sheets in it along with a toilet in the corner of it-and it had a single window that looked out onto the sea.
Checking through the hall, I saw more doors and checked the windows, which there still wasn’t anything at all. Or at least anything useful. It seemed that all the windows led to nothing but water.
“Keep going!” I shouted as I moved forward quickly towards another door in front of me that had a number ‘9’ on it-as if we needed any more numbers to describe where we were now. But after checking through the hall once more, there wasn’t anything there, so I made my way forward and opened the door.
This one...this one was different.
Instead, it led to a long hall-and a very long hall like it was just constantly moving away from me, and at first, I thought that it went downwards-which was strange because I saw that it seemed to go up instead, which confused me even more as I looked around myself.
“You found something?” Nikki asked, which she arrived and her eyes widened in confusion and shock, while she stared at me as if she’d never seen me before.
I shook my head and frowned as I began to look around myself and take in all of the details as I could. “Interesting...” I muttered as I walked inside, feeling a sense of lost stability and wobbling, as my head felt heavy and my legs felt like jelly-as if I were suddenly not in control of my body anymore. But then I heard Nikki gasp behind me as I fell forwards.
“Connor?” she asked.
“No, I’m fine-I think,” I responded, which I got up onto my feet and continued walking. Then, I saw a door at the end and it has as a sign: Chambers. There we go.
“Over here!” I shouted which I opened the door, seeing gates that locked in prisoners who were already sleeping. The room smelt like sweat and dirty socks and my stomach was already wiggling like there was worms under there.
“I see why this is used for prisoners,” Nikki said, looking around herself nervously as if she was going to be attacked any moment. Slowly, we moved forward-looking for any prison that could only have any of our friends, our team. As we searched for them, we found more rooms filled with different types of prisoners who were either sleeping or awake-but none of them were our friends.
Worry began to wash over me, and fear and dread began to slowly seep inside of me. But I still held my head high...somewhat. “Keep going!” I told myself as I looked at my surroundings carefully, searching for any more rooms that had anything inside of them at all. But then, all of a sudden-we heard footsteps speeding from a different direction, dashing towards our direction.
“Oh, no,” Nikki muttered, as she turned her head quickly to me and I took a deep breath worriedly, before we both rushed into a different room. But the problem was that we weren’t quick enough to get into that room fast enough, which I soon realized when we heard some guards shouting as they ran past the door to get into a different room that we needed to be in.
“Oh shoot!” Nikki exclaimed nervously as we heard footsteps come closer and closer.
“We need to run, now!” I said to her, as we began to book it the opposite direction. I could hear them coming closer, their footsteps stomping like lions, their speed like light years, their presence like demons, and their anger like an explosion of fire. “What do we do?!” Nikki asked nervously, as we began to dash past more doors and down more hallways, before she turned back to me as her eyes looked at mine.
I needed to make a decision, and quickly.
Very quickly.
“Go, find the others-I hold them off,” I said to her, as her eyes widened in fear and worry. But nonetheless, she moved away from me quickly and then continued to race forward while I stopped myself for a second. But then I saw it too late-there were guards approaching from every angle now, and their hands were on weapons and they were looking for me with their eyes-they were trying to kill me.
“Go!” I shouted at her.
Soon enough, three guards approached me and their wands were firm in their grip. “Hands behind your back, now,” one of them said. I felt like doing so, because I was already shaking in my boots-but I held my ground firmly. I kept eyes open, trying not to show any fear. Although in the end, tears were going to seep out of eyes from keeping it open to long anyway.
“Hands behind your back!” one of them shouted, ranging up immediately after their calm order. I still stayed firm, but less firm, unfortunately.
But-firm.
“We will not tell you this again,” one of them warned. I nodded. “I know, you won’t.”
Quickly, I charged up my Perk and stomped the ground, sending a shockwave that sent them flying, as a transparent outline that surged through the room emerged and flew, out the window. They screamed like little girls as they were sent into the water below where they were probably drowned as they tried to swim up to get away from me-and it made me chuckle wickedly.
“Easy,” I said, looking ahead of the hall hoping to see Nikki arrive with our friends. But she wasn’t in the hall, and I don’t think she was in the next. Instantly, I ran forward, thinking that she might have been captured by the guards who were sent away from me and I knew that we would have to rescue her or something-I don’t know what else was possible at that time, but it was what I did-what I thought to be best for her life.
After running through the hall, I came to almost a certain crossroads except there was an actual crossroads in front of me, which was guarded by two men standing over it with weapons in their hands ready to fight-they weren’t going to let me pass easily.
I needed to just do what I did last time. Use my Perk, send them away.
But then they rushed towards me, with their wands ready to swing. Quickly I rolled under as the first swept over me, but not before the second man had fired his wand at me. It struck the floor but didn’t do anything at all, so I used my Perk again and sent a shockwave out that hit him in the head and sent him crashing into the wall with a thump.
As I rolled myself to my feet quickly and ran towards the crossroads again, it was then when I heard something-it was a scream.
Nikki?
The first guard suddenly returned to his feet, and just as I turned around-I saw him blast a flurry of attacks at me, but I dodged each one as they flew at my face. I saw his eyes glowed as he seemed to be powered up by the attack-but I knew how to counter that as well. Quickly, I threw a hard blow at his stomach, as he lifted off the ground and then he flew up and away-being dragged from my power into the other end of the hall.
As I watched him fly away into the distance, I felt myself begin to feel a sense of worry and panic, but it seemed to wash over me as if I were someone else-it felt like my body was no longer my own.
I needed to find Nikki, or whoever that screamed. Quickly, I ran back to where I was originally headed, as I made my way to the end of the hall-hoping to see Nikki fine and okay and best-case scenario, with all of our team.
But instead, it was something much worse.
