I wake up to a sight different from when I passed out.
I jolt out of the bed that I found myself in. There was no one but me in the room which was filled with beds.
I was still, in my clothes, and With the white walls and the sign of a snake swirling around a rod, it was easy to realize I was in a hospital area.
I could see the corridor
outside of the room but there was no one there either. I walked into the hallway and gazed at the blue wall with the intricate black highlights which created a pattern
that one would expect to see in media where a character is about to use ancient or forbidden magic.
The person who saved me must have been wealthy ... or part of an
organization that's wealthy.As I walk down the frankly too-long corridor, I felt as though it was incredibly quiet for a place that was safe from those abominations.
In a conversation at the end of the walkway, I saw two adult men with spiky hair, one blue and one brown. They were talking about the director of this place and how he
saved them. They kept praising him until one of them began complaining about the special treatment and resources used to save the director's son.
From
how long they kept complaining about him, which was more than they praised the director, the son must have been pretty trashy. The one with black hair's eyes
landed on me and they widened.
He whispered to the other one "He's right behind you" which I barely heard. I looked behind me hoping to catch a glimpse of this son.
When
I found no one behind me I thought they must have been hallucinating. When they said my name, adding a sir behind it,I was confused and could only stare at them before
asking why they knew my name and also why they were talking so respectfully to me.
With the creeping sensation that the director's son might be me, though that was
impossible my father died in front of my eyes. However, the next words they said destroyed all hope of me rejecting the possibility of being the director's son.The one
with black hair answered me "Well ... that's because you are the director, Damien Corbyn's son"
A look of disbelief flashes across my face. It's not that I can't believe them, they don't have any reason to lie to me since they don't even know me and
they wouldn't have saved me if I wasn't related to somebody high up.
Well, my disbelief is quite easy to realize after all I just lost my friends in a horrifying apocalyptic
monster frenzy, and now the father who I thought dead for most of my life has resurfaced and found out to be alive, never once visiting me and building some sort of
apocalypse battling security force.
Some good that did. Maybe instead of using your wealth to create pretty walls, you should have used them to create a better army.
..... I'm being unreasonable, After all, it's not their fault they lost their lives.
They're probably doing everything in their power to help them. "Are you all right?"
those words snap my attention back to the duo.
That must have been an awkward silence. "I know that this must be quite difficult for you to believe and you might not
be in the right state of mind after what happened so you should just slowly get acclimated" It's alright I believe you" I quickly interrupt. I continue " can you just
show me how to get around this place. I'm a bit lost".
"Follow me" the one with black hair replies in a somewhat unnerving monotone voice "The hub of the location has
a complete overview of most things you'll need; including the map of the headquarters and the events occurring in the outside world" He started moving in the location I
was moving before.
The whole place was like a maze, so many hallways and rooms all connected like it was some sort of mechanical ant colony to the point I lost the way
I came from .
"My name's Tatum Anderson by the way nice to meet you. I'm a sort of field researcher here, the other one was Gerald.
He's a recruit so you'll have to
forgive him for his words. He's a relatively new addition so he doesn't know much and I sorta got carried by his words."
."It's alright I don't particularly care about it"
"Thanks for that." He walks into a room and I follow along. The sight in the room looks straight out of a science fiction book. " Well, this is it. The main
hub" Tatum says. " Pretty amazing right" and I can only nod along dumbly. The entire place is amazing. Filled with monitors filled with several libraries full of
knowledge and even though the tron-like background is useless like the pattern on the walls, which is also present here, it makes an out-of-this-world scene straight
out of a manga picture book. " Well then let's get you acquainted with the staff.".
Somewhere in a well-lit room that's all blue, "Well it looks like the final piece of the puzzle is here.
I can finally be able to protect humanity from such a
terrifying event. After this, there won't be any casualties.
"The room lights up in an eery red light with highlights in a crimson red color. A sinister smile flashes
across the face of the one who speaks of humanity's salvation."It's time to finish the preparations". and as though his soul had changed the smile disappeared all the
ominous scene rescinded as though a parasite living in wait for its host to reach its goal he continued his work to save humanity and protect it, unaware of what lay
beneath his own surface.
The walls of the location become dull white The man who earnestly wishes to save humanity may very well doom it by his own hands.
