Chapter 5 - Another mistake

3:49 PM

The creaky metal gates opened without hesitation, almost as if they opened by their own doing. "Im not a genius about locks and doors but they usually dont open like that," Diego says with confusion guiding his tongue. "Yeah we should go, besides this place is really scary," DeeDee says. "Look, i do not need you here i simply asked so if anything happened you both could help. If all you are going to do is complain then please go wait in the car." Dokéshi says frustrated. Nobody responds. They start wandering around, not looking for anything in particular but more getting to know the estranged are they have found themselves in. Diego turns, feeling an uncertainty within himself. He dares not to complain however, as he does not want to get yelled at once more. Instead he shrugs it off. Besides it could just be the clothes he was wearing, it was after all, very hot. He decided to keep walking and keep his cool. As they walk past the Lion Exhibit Dokéshi freezes. The sign 'AFRICA' is held up perfectly as if that horrific accident had never happened. "What? How could that be" Dokéshi says with a mixture between fear and confusion. "This sign th-this killed my parents," he says fighting back the urge to cry until he cant any more. He looks down... Blood! How could his parents blood be there, but the sign be held up just like the zoo was still open. He notices his late parents bodies no longer lay waste there. Just the dark red blood. The three teenagers stopped frozen where they stood as they noticed the filthy red skin covering a monstrous man. Maybe less man and more monster. The monster walked slowly but steadily towards the three fearful meals standing in the front of it. It spoke, "You've not heard my name but you've seen my face. I know your fears now that will change! You think your safe but thats a lie. I will take your mind and then your life!" The demon snatches DeeDee then Diego with such fierceness that the only thing Dokéshi had seen were the yellow eyes, glaring at him as the demon dissapeared into the darkness of the 'Africa' exhibit.

The blood that sat beneath Dokéshi had a word spelled into the puddle. 'livéd'. "That's it, that has to be its name!" Dokéshi says with such fear in his body dragging him to the floor. He runs to his car, returning with out his friends, something he hadn't thought he would be doing at the time. He opens the back driver door and rushes through his neat backpack, crushing his science papers and ripping his math book. He tears out a page from his english notebook, biting the cap off of his ballpoint pen he writes down the name, 'Livéd'. He reaches for his phone in the front cupholders, as he pulls out the charger with fear he calls 911. "Hello," the dispatcher says. "H-h-hello, I just w-watched two teenagers get kidnapped at th-the zoo on 5th and main." Dokéshi goes on to explain what had happened to his two friends. "Look buddy, this line isn't for prank calls physco, i will be sending a few cruisers however for your unlawful breaking and entering of government property." Dokéshi hangs up the phone and jumps into the front seat. He puts the car in gear and rushes out of the eerie parking lot. Just as he pulls out of the parking lot two police cars pulled in looking for the prank caller who had made a phone call in just a few minutes ago. Dokéshi pulls into his driveway and runs inside. Franticly he runs to his bathroom and turns the water on cold and immediately gets in the shower. The shower head however was not dispersing what temperature Dokéshi had needed. Instead the water was boiling hot, this time hotter than the last.
