Chapter 22
New York is a mess - thanks to you ALIRON!
The vision closed a lot of doors about Ejliah but opened new ones. Gently, I returned the chain inside his pocket without gaining his attention. What was Elijah doing with us?
"Guys time to wake up, we're in New York by the hidden jet!" Shouted Aanisah.
God, I couldn't believe what I saw when I looked out the window. We were in midtown Manhattan by the Lincoln Building. It looked the same as my vision but there was no girl. The building was broken and scattered on the floors with a mountain of bodies compressed together. Screams came from all directions and even the occasional hysterical giggle or laugh. People wearing orange jumpsuits were coming from each angle their faces overflowed with a crazed look. Instantly I knew that these people were off the point of being saved as if they had been stripped from humanity.
"Guys, what happened to prisons when the purge was announced?" I asked.
"So when the purge was announced...umm...all the jails were breached allowing all the criminals on the streets. Oh my god!" Aanisah explained.
"So guys New York is a massive state so imagine how many criminals have been put on the street?" I yelled.
Just then a man came behind the car and tried to smash it. He was screaming and shouting, causing more attention to us.
"OPEN THE GODDAMN DOORS YOU FILTHY DOGS!" He roared.
"GUYS DRIVE FAST!" I screamed.
Then right when Layla was about to drive a group of thirty people came in front of the car, blocking our escape.
"LET US IN! LET US IN!" They chanted vigorously.
"GUYS WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET PAST THIS! NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY THEY HAVE CIRCLED THE WHOLE CAR!" Layla explained.
"There is one option," Aanisah quietly said.
"What's that?" Me and Hazel asked.
"GUYS YOU HAVE TO APPLY THAT ENERGY YOU USED IN THE APARTMENT. IT'S THE ONLY WAY!" Elijah roared.
Me and Hazel both glanced at each other in fright. We were going to kill all these people but we didn't have a choice. But would that make it ok??
"IT'S NOW OR NEVER GUYS!" Layla shouted.
"LET'S DO THIS! GUYS GET DOWN!" We yelled.
The group did as we instructed while me and Hazel held hands and let each other in. I could feel electrical tingles all around me as sparks started to form. We both let out a piercing scream and a wave of circular energy blasted everything around the area. After that, I could feel tiredness developing as if I drained myself in that one burst. Then stupidly, I collapsed.
Hazel
As I applied all my energy to perform that blast of horsepower, my body must have reached overdrive because I collapsed on the floor like a total idiot. Then I woke up but I didn't have two doors awaiting me, only one. This one was not white it was royal blue and had a golden handle. I knew this one was not taking me to Atlas but something separate. I stepped in and a brilliant light covered my eyes. When I was able to observe the area I quickly knew where I was. Back at ALIRON Headquarters. ALIRON must have been the one place in the world I always dreaded to view. This was different though.
The entire building was covered with balloons and banners. On the stairs stood Dr Summers smiling proudly with Mr Josiah all wearing formal royal blue suits and gowns for a special occasion.
"We have to announce that on this particular day we have carried out all the trials and tests to allow us to go onto the next stage of ALIRON!" Dr Summers explained. Cheers came from all over the crowd as scientists were elated by the news of manslaughter.
"I'm afraid to tell you that Hazel Angello has escaped." Mr Josiah stated.
Shouts and yells came from the crowd. Why the hell was I so important to them all? And Why the hell do I not remember this??
"But people, we have used Hazel to create a new group called the Apex Alphas! Introducing.." Dr Summers declared.
From the stairs came fourteen hunters all dressed in army uniforms and text behind them saying "ALIRON till death". Tatia was at the front of the group smiling with cruelty. Then came Aanisah, Layla and Alex. I didn't recognise the others. They were like the most triumphant force ALIRON had created.
"THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE CREATED TO HELP YOU!" Shouted Josiah.
All the spectators started mumbling and gazing at the hunters in a worshipping way as if they were their fresh leaders. I couldn't help but consider what I had to do with all these people?
"NOW THE NEXT STAGE WILL BE TOO-!" Tatia roared.
Before I could hear any more the door appeared once again. I looked sadly at the spectators, wishing I was capable of obtaining more information.
I marched into the white luminous gate back to the group.
