Chapter 3 - A Hurting Fist Is The Best Fist.

As Ethan stepped into the tunnel, the opening in the wall was I'mmediately closed," Hey! A1! A1! Why did the door close. How am I going to get out of here?!"

Ethan exclaimed, but no one responded," ah, shit!" 

Well, since he couldn't get out, he decided to keep moving. After continuously walking for about two minutes, he still hadn't reached the end of the tunnel.

" What the heck! If I remember correctly, outside, this was only a two inch thick wall! Why am I still walking, and still hadn't reached the end!" Ethan expressed his frustration, as he hit the wall with his fist.

Ouch!~

Ethan exclaimed, as his knuckles made a cracking sound, all most as if he his his hands on some incredibly strong metal.

Suddenly, the whole tunnel became lit up, as the ceiling was strangely exuding some kind of bright light.

Ethan was surprised by the sudden brightness, so he used his hands to cover his eyes. After waiting a few more seconds, his eyes got used to the light.

" Looks like letting out my frustration was really helpful," Ethan chuckled, as he stared at his bruised fist.

Then he looked straight ahead, and there it was. A door. There was a wooden door, at the end of the tunnel. And immediately, Ethan sprinted towards it.

When he arrived at the door, he was about to place his hand on the door knob and open the door, but then he paused.

_ Should I really be doing this?_

Ethan thought with uncertainty in his head.

_ I mean, there was a reason why the abandoned it _

" Maybe, I should go back," Ethan was about to turn around and leave, when the door suddenly opened itself.

Creak!~

As the door was opening, it made a creaking sound.

" What the heck, this is creepy!" Ethan said, but this time he had totally forgotten to actually leave. Then Ethan walked into the door.

...

In a mysterious chamber, seven hooded figures we're seen standing upon a seven very tall podiums.

" Ahhhah!!" One of the seven figures,the one in the center, began to screen as if he had been shot, and he was now in agonizing pain, as he held the left side of his chest tightly.

The other six figures all turned their heads, and looked at the seventh one in their center, " Tell us, what's happening?" All six figures said simultaneously.

Aaahhhhh!!

The one at the center couldn't say a word, as he screamed in agony.

" Oh no! There is a problem, a huge problem. Hurry. Tell us!" The six figures continued speaking as of their brains were linked together, and not an ounce of worry was seen in their voice. It was almost as if they knew he was fine.

After a while, the seventh figure stopped screaming, and he stared at the others with a face filled of worry.

" What is it?' one of the six figures said,

" Is it war?" The figure asked again, " is there going to be another world war?" He asked again, but the seventh figure shook his head.

" Is it a curse?" Another asked, trying to guess the root of the problem. But just like before, with heavy breaths the seventh denied the claim.

Making some fall into an argument as to why seventh was like that.

" Is it the shadows?" Another One of the figures said. As he finished saying his sentence, the whole room became as silent as a still lake.

" I - i - I don't know. I don't know what I saw or what I felt. But I know it's not the shadows, they have a different feeling. Even him." The seventh said with a voice filled with dread.

" You do not know? How is that even possible." Another said with concern overflowing in his voice.

" Even with your Moonlight cresent level, you can't seen it. Hmph! This is very disturbing." The fifth said , as he rubbed his chin.

" What did you feel?" The last one out of the group, and also the only one with a feminine voice, that had been quiet this whole time.

Suddenly, the seventh stood up from his sitting position, and he said with a gloomy look," I felt something about to awaken. I felt..... darkness."

...

As Ethan stepped into the lab, his nostrils were I'mmediately attacked by the pugent smell of animal carcass and dried blood mixed with chemicals.

" Holy shit! This place looks disgusting!"

Ethan saw a sight of broken beakers, test tubes and some broken goggles. They were scattered everywhere, on the ground, the walls, and even on the ceiling. Broken glass was everywhere!!

Pieces of strange animal skin and bones were laddened everywhere on the ground. Chemicals and acid boiling on the metallic tables, as it looked like a wretched area.

This whole place looked like a jam of pugent pudding. Gross!~

" Damn, what were my parents doing in here to turn this whole place into a pugent hell," Ethan exclaimed, as he continued walking forward.

As Ethan was trying his best to navigate through the chaos everywhere in the lab, his ring finger accidentally grazed upon a jagged edge.

As Ethan's finger grazed upon a jagged edge of glass, a crimson coloured bead began welling up from the cut in his hand.

" Ouch!" Ethan exclaimed, as he shook off the blood and put the cut finger in his mouth.

" Two injuries in one day so far, and on the same hand. That's a rare occurrence....I usually get five." Ethan chuckled, as he continued moving forward.

After walking for about half an hour, Ethan came across a huge cabinet with about a hundred drawers in it .

" Voila! There has to be some kind of useful in here " Ethan said, as he moved towards one part the cabinet, but for some reason, all of them were locked.

" Argh! What the hell? This place had been abandoned for god knows how long," Ethan said with a frustrated look, as he banged his fist on the cabinet.

" Ouch! I should really stop doing that." Ethan said, as he stared at his fist that had now become reddish in colour.

Suddenly, a drawer that was seemingly locked opened.

" Whoa! Looks like hurting my fist really helps me.
