THE MANOR
CHAPTER THREE
<h2 style="text-align: center">╚════════════════════?????════════════════════╝</h2>
? November 7th 2008, Cenavix Sanitarium ?
One little incision...
Leads to a thousand drops of blood...
But that pain does not compare to the naivity
And the agony that she''ll feel when she''s mine!!!
Our protagonist stares down this new and mysterious face. It''s a girl, doesn''t look like a patient. In fact, she looks even younger then herself. With short bright blonde hair, barely even reaching over her shoulders in the back, in the front, her hair reaches over her mouth, covering her right eye, her left looked bloodshot, sleepless, and not quite right overall. Her stare... something was very wrong with her stare. She wore a little nurse''s hat, and coat with vinyl gloves over her hands and white plastic slip-ons. "Interact with caution.." She thought. She looked unstable, but maybe she''ll be some help. At this point the girl was desperate for anyone to help her.
"What? Um... little girl. Do you know how dangerous it is here? L-Listen, it''s really, really messed up here. And, And I''m lost. I dont know where I am, or how I got here. I need help, badly."
"Uh-huh... And I can help you?~"
"That''s what you think, right?"
"Well...Uhh, I don''t really know you. But-"
"No shit you don''t know who I am! You''re way in over your head, ahaha... And you don''t even know. This is almost too good! Are you sure you''re real? I''m starting to have doubts!"
Interrupting the girl, the nurse approaches her and pokes and grabs her shoulders. Checking to see if she even really exists. The girl, uneasy, flinches and clearly wants to push her back.
"H-Hey hey can we....not do that?? No seriously, stop...."
"No! No wait! Are you really real? I just got to...."
Touching her stomach then legs... When suddenly a sharp pain in the girl''s leg is felt.
"Gh- AOOWW!"
"Hahaa! BITCH! I got you!"
Blood trickles down her leg, as the nurse pulls out a scalpel from her leg and before she knows it, goes in for a second stab at her throat.
"What? No!! Whyy??"
"Hahaha... You''re MINE!"
The girl would block her arm, she was surprisingly strong for a small kid. But she would knock the nurse down on her ass, and as soon as she saw the opportunity, she ran. But the pain of the stab wound in her leg started to show after the adrenaline rush was wearing off. It hurt like hell.
"Aagh! Grhh... Damn it! Can''t fucking.... trust anyone! Fuck..."
"Hrrgh... You bitch! Come back toy! COME BACK NOW!"
She''d shout. Angrily picking herself back up off the floor.
"UUNI! MORSEL!! IF YOU''RE THERE. GET OVER AND HELP ME KILL HER!"
No response...
"Fine then... I''ll kill her myself... Better yet, i''ll break down her instead. The fun way!~"
She looks, smiling in one of her pockets that holds a few syringes full of an unknown lime green substance. Meanwhile, the girl was still running aimlessly along in the Hospital. Not having a clue of where she''s going. She scrambles around seemingly endless shiny halls, ocassionally slicked with dry blood, looking for somewhere she can hide.
"Shit! Grahh! This place is huge... Where am I supposed to hide? Damn it..."
Paranoid, she kept looking around, she already made so many turns and twists. She came across a section where the lights appear to be off, avoiding that one, she favors sections with the lights actually on though doesn''t know where she is anymore...
"HEY! Don''t run from me! Ahahaha~"
"You think you can just run from me coward? I have my eyes on you now, and you can''t stop me!"
"You''re a little girl, it can''t be that hard!"
She would stand her ground. Stancing threateningly to the girl.
"Uh-huh?"
The nurse would pull out some kind of plastic weapon from her outfit, and shoots a syringe at her. Hitting her square in the neck
"Ah-! Ngh! What the hell was that!?"
The girl pulls the needle out, it seems to be a clear liquid drug. A sedative.
"Fffuck...! Fuck no not like this!"
"Whats the matter? Are you tired? Feeling sleepy? Go ahead then! Nap where ever you''d like!"
"Come on, Please don''t do this! I just need help..."
"And I don''t care! Sorry to disappoint."
She turned and ran again as fast as she could. She trying to outrun the effects of the drugs, trying to ignore her nerves, trying to get away from danger. Looking behind her every few seconds to make sure she wasn''t being chased. She took a hard turn down another hallway to the left when suddenly she ran straight into tripwire, hitting her ankle and sending her right to the floor. She barely even felt the impact. The sedative was starting to take it''s effect now. She looked back behind her to see the Nurse again who has caught up to her.
"Aw, come on now! this is starting to get pathetic! Seriously, you''re killing my mood."
"Why are you doing this!? I''m just lost here. I don''t know where I even am..."
"That makes you the perfect prey, then."
The nurse leans over her, smiling.
"Fuck you then!!!"
Getting up, and running again, this whole song and dance seemed to be repeating itself too many times. The girl ran faster then she ever has before, trying to surprise the nurse who wasn''t even taking this chase seriously. She ran, ignoring the pain in her leg, and ignorning anything around her. Rooms, cabinets, desks, corpses... Wait! She stopped short and looked back.
"The cabinet! I got to hide there."
The girl runs to one of the reception desks and hides in the cabinet behind it. Trying to catch her breath, but quietly. The nurse seems to be nowhere in sight. She decided to try to take this moment to rest and check her leg. She''d pull up her skirt and check the wound, it was bad, still deep and bleeding. She poked it, big mistake, it hurt. She inhaled sharply.
"Fffh! Ow...Damn it! This is bad... Really bad."
Before she could even think about what to do about it. The nurse was heard walking by, it seemed she caught up to her.
"Where have you goooooone?~ My little toy~ Don''t you hide from me so soon. I won''t break you yet!"
"You see, i''ve decided you''re too fun to let die so soon! I want to break you MYSELF! SO COME OUT! NOW!!"
"I''ll make it sure it HURTS if you don''t show yourself now... Ahahahh! I''m excited at the thought..."
Her eyes glanced over right onto the cabinet. The girl swear she can feel her heart drop as she held her breath for what felt like an eternity... The nurse then faced forward and turned down the left hall. Walking off. The relief was unimaginable.
"Thank god... Oh thank god...!"
All seemed safe finally... Then the cabinet swung open.
"Such a poor attempt at avoiding me!"
She swung that scalpel into her other leg, and grabbed her dress and threw her to the floor
"AAH! NNO!"
"Bad bad toy... How are you not out yet? Looks like I need to help put you to sleep! PERMANENTLY!"
The scalpel is lunged down to where the girl''s neck is. But she blocks the Nurse''s arm. Fighting it, she pushes back with all she can, the disadvantage isn''t making it any easier for her. The nurse giggles at her struggle.
"Just give in... And DIE! I''m already bored of you!"
"No....fucking way!"
The girl overpowers her as she takes the higher ground knockings her over, taking her own scalpel and driving it down her throat. Watching her gurgle and writh in pain. She pulls out the scalpel and shoves it into her uncovered eye after. The nurse''s struggle dies out as she stops moving completely. She''s dead...finally.
"Fuh....Fuck."
She looks at her hands, then at the corpse of the nurse she killed. She had never killed anyone before, nonetheless a small girl even younger than her. her hands were shaking. It was only made worse by the fact she was rapidly growing sleepy.
"I''m so sorry... I just....! Damn it!"
"Why did you have to do that...?"
"I didn''t want to kill you..."
Lightheaded, the girl tries to stand and find a safe spot. Knowing she''ll fall asleep. But she can''t even move... She collapses merely feet away from the nurse. Dropping the scalpel. As her vision gets blurry, she struggles to stay awake, uselessly. She passes out on the floor due to the drugs injected into her.
? An unknown amount of hours pass. . . ?
The girl wakes up in the same spot. Scratching her head she struggles to stand herself up, so she settles for sitting for now. She notices the nurse''s body is strangely gone, and her legs are stitched up, and cleaned neatly. There''s a small sticky note on her leg reading:
? You''re welcome. -C ?
"C...?"
"How the the hell...? It couldn''t be that... Ugh, this place is messing me up."
"I need to find that lab as soon as possible. This place is NOT fucking normal."
She throws off the sticky note from her leg, picks up her carver knife that she dropped and tries to move her leg. Surprisingly the pain is completely gone, it must have been coated with some kind of medicine. How long has it been? The more she thinks about it, the more her brain hurt.
"Things just keep making less and less sense here..."
The girl would start to wander around the Hospital aimlessly. Completely lost in this maze-like block. Searching back offices and patient rooms for any kind of clues or passages. There was no luck for a while. No switches, no doors, or tunnels or buttons. She eventually came across some odd tattered notes that read "SHE HURT US" "IT WAS ALL OVER" "THEY KNEW IT" and "THEY WERE AHEAD OF US". It looked like complete nonsense, she couldn''t make any sense of it. So she just left it alone.
"This place is so fucked...."
"I wish I could just rest... But I can''t even do that for a second. Gaahh.."
She would lean against the wall and sigh. Thinking about how she got here... Everything happened so fast, how can she process any of it? She was going home and took the short walk trail as a shortcut... Then this shed appeared and took her here? It barely made any sense, and now she''s in the most dangerous place on earth apparently. Crazy asylum patients, monster chameleons and crazy nurses. "What the hell was next?" She thought. Sooner then she knew it, her question was answered right then and there.
A swarm of these small, black spider-like crabs scurry their way down the hallway slowly. The girl presses herself up tighter against the wall, watching them just move right by her. Not even paying her any mind or attention. As if she wasn''t even there. It seems they ignored her? Or maybe they didn''t even notice her at all. There must have been about thirty or fourty of them, and they were about the size of a bottle cap each, maybe bigger? It was hard to tell. Whatever the case, there were a lot of them and the girl was NOT gonna mess around with them right now.
"I am NOT gonna mess around with them right now..."
She carefully scooched away and walked down OPPOSITE of where they were going, to avoid them. She eventually came across the same tripwire she tripped on earlier. It was thin, stretched out from wall to wall, nailed in. Almost impossible to see, did that damn nurse do this? She certainly seemed to have lots of free time around here. The girl took her carver and cut it down. No more risks.
"There''s probably more of those around, I''d better be careful. I don''t want to trip on any others at a bad time..."
"Who knows what else she could have set up around here?"
"Damn! I wish I had my phone right now, that would REALLY be some help."
The hallways seemed endless, offices and backrooms were empty despite the occasional corpse or two, useless junk and incomprehensible documents of some kind. A few records of patients from various dates, talking about illnesses, their state of mind, and for some reason mentions of a vision about a cold labratory underground. The latest date she can find in these documents is April 16th, 2006. It seems like this disaster did happen quite long ago after all.
"2006. That was like... seven years ago. Shit. This place has been desolate for seven years? How is anyone even still in here then?"
"A Laboratory... Christ, were the patients brought there and tested or something? This placed is so fucked up, man..."
She took the document with her, just in case. Folding it up tiny and putting it in the pocket of her dress. She left the back office and continued going through rooms, hoping for something. A lot of the hospital rooms were empty, with old hospital beds and TV''s that didn''t work anymore. She heard a scream from the next room over suddenly. It startled the hell out of her. So she crept over to peek in and see what was going on. She couldn''t believe what she saw. It was that nurse again. The one she just stabbed the eye out of. But she was fine again, like it never happened. She seemed to have a victim trapped on a hospital bed. This room in particular has an assortment of tools. All somewhat clean, stained with blood. She was going to torture him.
"Yeah, I burned the fucking church down. That was me! Ahaha."
"To be honest it was a long time coming! I couldn''t stand that fucking place..."
"If i knew survivors like you were secretly holding Sunday Services, I would have burned that place much sooner!"
"You are beyond salvation child! You...! You will be burning in the fiery pits of hell for these heinous actions!"
"Yeah yeah, keep yapping. Honestly you look really stupid right now where you are!"
It seems like the man is a priest of some kind, and him and other suvivors must have held services at the church... "There''s a church here?" She was thinking. It seemed the man spotted her, as he glanced over. He then broke eye contact and glared back at the nurse. He gave a sort of signal for help. He kept on talking to keep her distracted.
"God will not forgive you for the things you have done, the pain you''ve inflicted!"
"When you die girl, and by god you will. You will come to regret your life of sin when you''re put through endless suffering! Are you listening!?"
"Hardly, the only thing on my mind right now is cutting your tongue out AND MAKING YOU SWALLOW IT!"
"S-Salvation will come! We will be saved while those like you will be left to rot!"
The girl continued to watch, too nervous to intervene. Hesitating too much, by the time she decided to step forward and act, she had already been caught. As a hand grabbed her from behind, and a hacksaw held by her neck. She was being held hostage.
"You stay right where you are. Or die."
"-!? Shit!!-"
"Grr..."
"Oh? Well look who it is! It''s you again..."
"You gave me a great pain in the eye, you know. Ahaha!"
"Nice capture, Uuni!"
"Thank you, Cami...."
The girl who caught her seems to be an even younger girl then the nurse, perhaps 9 or so. But she''s cold, and her skin is grey. She wears a similar nurse outfit.
"How are you still alive!? I killed you! I stabbed you in the eye! I watched! I watched you die... Cami."
"I don''t die! Are you shocked? Hehe, you look shocked!"
"Y-You too? I also "don''t die! I''ve literally been killed like twice before!"
"The fuck are you on about? Haha, are you crazy too? Or do you just want that to be put to the test!"
"Make sure she can''t leave Uuni."
"Of course Cami."
Uuni would lead her to a chain in the room and lock her arms up to the wall. She would then put her hacksaw down on the table.
"Damn you, child! May you be cast away to the vilest pit in hell!"
"You see this? This is what I have to deal with. All the time, people talking shit even though they''re the ones tied up about to be tortured."
"Wait! Don''t do this! Just- Just stop!"
"Hmmm, what do you think Uuni? Should I stop?"
"I want to cut off his head... I also want to cut off her head!"
"What the fuck....?"
"Hehehe, yeahhh of course you do. I''ll TRY and leave his head to you. But I still want to cut out his fucking tongue!"
"That''ll shut you up, surely..."
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
She hovers her hand over the table of blades, deciding what to choose. She takes a pair of scissors from the table, stained in old blood as most of them are. The priest panics more, mumbling a prayer, begging for God to save him. Cami tries to remain calm but she''s very clearly pissed off. Her hand shaking and her eyes twitching. Uuni simply just stands on the side and watches silently.
"God be with me.... God will save me.... God be is with me...."
"Urrghh! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"I can''t stand your talking about utter SHIT!"
"THERE IS NO GOD!"
"Not anywhere, and especially not here! Maybe you''ll believe me and rest easy when I show you the afterlife PERSONALLY!"
"No!!! Stop!!"
The girl struggles, pulling on the chains, but it''s useless. Cami digs her scissors into the priest''s mouth, cutting it up into a bloody mess. She chops at his tongue violently, hacking at his gums and teeth in the process. It''s very messy work. The priest writhes, shaking the bed and screams in pain, gurgling blood out his mouth, trying to escape. The more he screams the wider Cami''s smile seems to get. She''s enjoying the hell out of this. Chained up, the girl is horrified however, frozen in fear she can''t help but stare silently unable to look away.
"O-Oh my god.... What the fuck."
"I wanted to... Cut off his...Okay."
"Grhh...aaha, you can just cut off hers. Take her head. I don''t give a shit."
She finishes off the priest. Removing his tongue and letting him choke on his own blood. The girl couldn''t even process what she just saw. She was horrified.
"Thanks Cami. Finally...."
"W-What? N-No.... no! Wait!"
Uuni grabbed her hack saw and held it to the girl''s neck. Despite her struggling and pleading Uuni started sawing away. Blood spurted out almost instantly. She yelled desperately, it was over in seconds though. About halfway down her neck she was already dead. Uuni sawed all the way down and yanked out the head from her body. Holding it up by the hair, she looked proud of herself.
<h4 style="text-align: center">Death is not the end for you, you should know
It is meaningless, A concept, merely
Just be care not to lose your head</h4>
The girl wakes up, gasping. Feeling at her neck, her head. It''s still there. Thank god... She seems to still be in the hospital. Elsewhere. She''s in one of the hospital beds. This room in particular seemed a little clean. Untouched, and besides the smell there you probably wouldn''t be able to tell it''s been abandoned for years.
"F-Fuck... What the fuck... Those crazy... motherfuckers!"
Breathing a sigh of relief, with her heart pounding like crazy from being killed a THIRD time. She wastes not a moment, picking up her carver and getting a move on. Something changed in her in that very moment. Even if she didn''t notice it herself. A newfound determination, and anger.
"I''m killing her, I am killing her! I''m so fucking killing her!"
"Grr..."
"I''ll kill her so badly she won''t come back this time..."
Fearlessly, the girl marches her way right back to Cami''s room. Preparing for the worst, clutching the carver tightly. Finally starting to learn the layout of the Hospital, she finds the room and kicks the door right open and... There''s no one there. It''s all empty. No sign of Cami or Uuni and even the body of the Priest seems to be gone.
"What...? Of course, damn it."
"Well... What does a psychopath like her keep around here anyway?"
"If I had to guess... Something horrible."
The girl looks around the place. There''s two hospital beds, one''s clean while the other''s... full of old blood. Seems like Cami sleeps on the clean one while the other''s for torturing. The table with all the tools for torture is still there. They''re not very clean. There''s actually a sink on the side. The water surprisingly is still running here. "At least she can wash things here." She thought. There was a small old looking TV on a counter with a VHS player built into it.
"Huh."
"How outdated...."
"I wonder if there are any tapes around..."
She presses the power on the TV. She felt the immediate feel of electricity eminating off the screen as it turned on. It turns out there''s already a tape in currently. She would press a button to switch to the tapes and play the currently inserted. After a second of thinking, the TV would switch screens and all of a sudden at nearly full volume this very bright and poppy music video appeared with some cartoon looking girl appeared, and booming upbeat music.
<h3 style="text-align: center">? BABY YOU ARE MY SWEETIE!
I GIVE YOU SOME CANDY.
I WANT YOU TO DANCE AT THE DANCE WITH ME!
WHEN YOU KISS ME MY HEART FLY.
''CAUSE YOU ARE SO KAWAII!!
YOU MAKE MY HEART DANCE LIKE A BUTTERFLY! ?
"-!? Christ!"
The intensity of the music was so loud it nearly made her fall over and cover her ears. She tried to turn it off and eject it but the buttons stopped working. She soon just settled for unplugging the entire TV. Finally there was silence, and she swears she can feel her ears ringing.
"Agh... What the hell? That was awful..."
"No way this is the kind of music she listens too."
Trying to forget that ever happens she looks through some the drawers with the intent of leaving quickly. She finds some kind of note. Saying "Reminder feed the dog! A body a week. It gets harder every time." The other note seems to have been added onto the initial reminder.
"Dog...? There''s a dog here?"
"Whatever, time to go!"
She closes the drawer and prepares to rush out, not before looking at the chains where she just was earlier. Not an ounce of blood anywhere. Despite her beheading mere moments ago in that very spot. Trying not to think about it any more then she has to, the girl peeks out. It looks safe. She rushes out hoping not to run into Cami or Uuni. "Now can I remember somewhere I haven''t been yet in this Hospital?" She thinks and thinks... While running from Cami, there was a section of the hospital completely in the dark. Perhaps that area could be where the entrance to the Lab is.
"Alright, this is it! Surely... God I hope so."
"If not, well.... I don''t know how i''m gonna find it."
The girl retraces her path from memory, eventually finding the stairs where she entered the Hospital Block of the Sanitarium. As much as she wanted to leave the Hospital. It wasn''t much safer up there. Off into the dark she goes then. It seemed like a really bad idea, but everything does, not matter what she does. Eventually, she finds her way to the dark block of the Hospital.
There were doors leading into it. Inside there were completely no lights on, either broken or non-functional. The only light was the light that was peering through from behind the doors. It seemed older, less kept. Perhaps it was an older block they originally made, and they extended it later? The lit block was shiny with white walls and tile floor, that much was clear even with the decay that has faced since. But this is worse. Much worse. The walls are not shiny, they''re all stained, and the paint is chipping. The floor is rotting and the smell... It''s bad.
"Christ..... Why am I in here? Why am I in here, why am I in here why am i in here?"
"I hate it here... Already. I hate it all so bad."
"Can''t! See! Sshhiit!"
As she crept through deeper it got too dark to even see. At the point she was at she had to feel her way forward so she wouldn''t run into any walls. The silence was eerie. At least it was empty, though with what she seen before she doesn''t know that for sure. She particularly tried not to slide her fingers down the wall as it felt disgusting and possibly was moldy, and holding her breath was near impossible as her heart was beating fast from nerves already. It felt as her eyes were starting to adjust to the darkness. Slowly...
"I really hope The Lab is in here..."
"Otherwise, oh god how am I gonna find my way out of here? I''d have to..."
"No, nono. I''m not going to consider that. I can''t."
"I can''t... I shouldn''t. That''s not an option!"
Clutching the carver tightly. A dark thought takes over her mind... One of a quick way out. Considering she can''t die. Would it really even matter though? It would get her out of a tough situation but... No! No more thinking of that! It''s... too much.
"Can''t let my mind go down there. I-I can''t."
Just before she gets lost in thought, she spots a lit room all of a sudden, it looks like a light from latern.
"Oh thank god... Maybe this is it."
She slowly creeps to the room, peeking in. Inside she''s met with a disgustingly gorey room. The place, drenched in blood from the floor to the walls. It looks like a pile of unrecognizable bodies in the center of it, just mush, intestines and very little bone. The urge to throw up has never been greater. "God, is this the source of the smell?". Just past the big pile of wet flesh was a dog. Chained up around the neck and body. It was feasting on the freshest, most recognizable body there. The priest from before, still with some form of human shape. But it looks like a quarter of him was already eating away at it. The dog looked up at the girl, and growled, looking all defensive with his meal.
"W-Woah woah! E-Easy dog.... easy!"
"I''m... a friend! You can trust- urk! M-Me..."
"Fuck- G-God I can''t stand it here."
Just breathing made her want to gag. It was hard to even talk. Her words clearly wasn''t getting to the dog either. Was Cami doing this to the dog? This is beyond fucked up. This is horrible. The girl noticed a key hung up on the wall over the table where the lantern was sitting. She''s debating if she wants to risk it to save a dog. Before she could think about it too long, a new light shone through into the room. After looking back and seeing who it was, she acted quickly and hid under the desk.
"WHO''S THERE!? God... Is it you again, Jack?"
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! DAMN IT!"
The Nurse Cami enters the room with a bright shining flashlight. Mumbling about something. She stares down the dog.
"Ah. He''s gone now... Good."
"Well. You eating well you little shit? Why don''t you ever eat the most tender parts first?"
"I must have fed you countless times and you always consume at random. You have no fucking taste!"
The dog growled at Cami, bearing teeth. It obviously was hers, and it hated her. Instantly turning aggressive at the sight of her, meanwhile the dog was just scared when it saw the girl.
"Ahaha, whatever... You clearly don''t know shit! And you never learn too..."
"Nevermind that, I have a new test for you today~"
"If I can''t stab you, burn you, crush you, or even suffocate you....Well, just wait. It''s not ready yet. But i''m working on it!"
"I got a good feeling, this one will kill you FINALLY! I consider you a failure... by the way."
Cami turned and left taking her flashlight with her. She laughed and slammed the door, leaving the dog by her lonesome. She was torturing this dog. If the girl was going to free him, it was going to be now. She crawled out from underneath the desk and nabbed the key. The dog was still weary of her, so she approached with caution.
"S-Shhh! Shh! Please... I''m trying to free you, look. Look, this is the key, I can unlock you!"
"You just have to let me.... please."
The girl sat down a safe distance from the dog. Trying to get down to it''s level and get comfortable with it, trying to ensure it''s safety. The dog seemed to understand... Somewhat, still growling but as the girl nudged closer she held up her hand to let the dog sniff her. To be honest she was terrified. She never really liked dogs to begin with. This was a nightmare for her. The dog accepted her peace offering. Placing a lot of trust in her. The girl slowly brought her hand to his head and pet him. Meanwhile in her other hand she put in the key. unlocking the shackles around it''s neck, and it''s body.
"Th-There you go... You''re free now. You''re safe-"
The door slammed open. Cami was back, and shined her flashlight on them.
"Who''s there!? I swear to-"
"You?! What are you doing?? Stop!! Don''t free the dog you idiot! The dog will fucking kill us!"
Unchained, and pissed. The dog ran at Cami. Cami screamed, trying to run. But the dog in an instant caught up to her and tackled her down. Mauling her viciously, biting her neck, pulling out flesh while she tried to fight and push it off. It was a useless effort. Before long the dog tore out her throat and munched down at her lifeless body.
"Jesus... Christ! Fu-Fuck!"
The girl only watched the horror unfold. Still down on her ass. In a twisted way it had a hint of satisfaction to it... After the dog was done it looked right at her, and ran off. Leaving the rest of Cami to rot. The girl decided to leave this awful smelling place. She took Cami''s flashlight, finally having a source of light in this dark place.
She held the Industrial Torch. It felt pretty heavy, it must have been five pounds. It seemed to run on batteries. She better not use it too much or it''ll be useless. She looked down over at Cami''s corpse. Blood started to puddle around her. So she decided to leave before she got her blood on her shoes.
"Sigh... At least i''m safe from her now. I hope at least, unless she comes back to life again."
"That couldn''t happen though... Right?"
"I stabbed her in the eye before, and she came back from it like nothing happened." She though to herself. But didn''t dwell on it. It was time for her to get a move on. So she wandered deeper through the dark Hospital. Hoping to find anything, some kind of secret door or passage? She checked walls and behind things. The smell of that disgusting gore room lingered throughout the place, she had to put her clothes over her mouth the whole time as to not throw up. It was DISGUSTING in here. The place started to get cold going down into this one room down at the end of a hallway. At the hall there was this break room with an odd door hole in the far wall with a milk vending machine flipped over. Is this it?
"Could... could that be it finally?! The Labratory! This has to be...."
Going into the odd hole that didn''t belong it took her to some stairs. The further down she went, the more metal and the colder things became. Things seemed a whole lot more new, like it was actually taken care of in the last in the last month or so. As she made it to the end there was this big metal door. It wasn''t locked so she pulled it right open. Inside she was met with a huge long hallway that stretched out far, dimly lit with stone all around, like it was all dug out. The floor was smoothed out, looked like a greenish polished concrete floor. It was even colder inside. With all the exposed stone making the walls all around and no heater at all made it extremely chilly.
"Holy shit..."
"T-This is it... I think. The Labratory. It actually really exists."
"What the fuck... Why would this place have something like this?"
"Whatever, nothings gonna fuck this up now. Not again..."
She clutches the carver. Making her way down the hallway. She eventually got to more double doors. It let to someone kind of security check room. There were metal detectors, desks, big cameras pointing all around. "They really wanted to make sure whoever was in there was supposed to be huh? Maybe this Lab was for a specific clearance only?". Everything was non-functional anyway, so it didn''t matter. There didn''t seem to be any bodies in sight so far, and besides looking untouched for a while. It was mostly clean, albeit not taken care of. A far cry from the damage and rot the rest of the manor faces.
"What the hell could have happened here...?"
She tried to open the next room over but it required an ID to pass through. The doors seem to have an electric lock of some kind, and one that still works too.
"Ah, shit..."
Looking around, she noticed a maintence closet back another way, that one had a standard door with no lock. She went inside to find another body, hanging upside-down from the ceiling of the room. It scared the shit out of her. But at the same time, the horrifying sight of corpses was starting to grow numb to her. After the shock wore off, she searched the body. in sheer luck, he had an ID. Blood stained the name of the person, but it didn''t really matter who he was. Luckily the card worked, and she made it through the door.
"Ah, good. Thank god..."
"What the fuck was even going on in this place? It looks nothing like the rest of the place..."
Seemed she was in it deep now. She came into more, but less wide, hallways, passing by break rooms, small offices, and... holding cells? It was heavily secured too, like they were containing some real dangerous people, or worse. Staring into the break room. It seemed to be in still somewhat fine condition. There was a nice leather couch against the wall. Looked mostly clean.
"Fuck it. If i''m killed I won''t stay dead anyway."
Exhausted and unable to resist the urge to sleep on the couch, she plops straight down on the couch in the breakroom. She doesn''t even care about the place being fully lit. She needs this. She needs to rest. She deserves to rest. She faced directly into the couch, back out. It felt like heaven. At this point in time, she never wanted to leave this couch. Drifting off to sleep she finally felt moments of peace to cherish in this hellscape...

"GASSPP...!"
"Fffuuck! What the fuck? What...?! Jesus...."
Our protagonist awakes from a nightmare after sleeping an unknown amount of time. Nearly falling out of the couch she sits up, seemingly safe still. No monsters anywhere, no demons, infections, no Cami, her weapon was still there. After a bit of waking up she finally got a move on. Eventually she made it to a big main room beyond the hallway through another pair of double doors. A sign right over the doors said "Main Chamber". Through it was a big circular room with many machines and other doors leading to test rooms of some kind. At the center was this weird mass of huge cables and wires from the floor to the ceiling of the room, with big metal caps attached to the ceiling and floor. At the center it was a bit bulbous with six screens attached to it, all displaying some kind of error.
"What in the world...?
"John said I could be helped here..."
"By who? Or- or what??"
"What could be here....? I guess I have to search then."
Looking around, she approached the weird mass first. When suddenly all the screens on it turned blue, with white eyes. All the screens attached to their cables extending outwards, looking all at the girl. Panels from the ceiling open up lowers turret rifles pointing at her, threatening to shoot.
"Aaah!? What the fuck? No! Waitwaitwaitwait!"
"You insane scum dare still not leave this place be? Exit now or you''ll be shot down!"
"Shot?? No- nonono! Hey- I just! I just need help!"
"Wait a second... by god. You''re a survivor... And a sane one too."
The guns retract back into the ceiling and the panels shut closed.
"What? Yeah... Yes, I am! Thank god... Please tell me you''ll help me!"
"Of course, I''ve mistaken you for one of those freaks from God''s Hand."
"I''m what is called the Overseer. The Operating Virtual Electronic Recorder for Emergancy Evacuation Reasons."
"A-Ah... I see... I won''t remember that... Diyos ko..."
"That''s quite alright. Overseer works quite fine."
"What might your name be, miss?"
"Oh, It''s.... Um. Wait no, I''m..."
"W-What, the fuck? I can''t think of it right now? Why can''t I remember right now??"
"Hmm... You can''t remember your name you say? You might be experiencing Post Trauma Amensia right now."
"I can''t say I blame you either. The horrors of this place are beyond even the sickest person''s imagination."
"P-Post Trauma...? What the fuck...."
"Why don''t I just call you... The Surviving Girl?"
"Surviving... Ahh, What now?"
"Is there a problem with the name?"
"Oh, no. No it''s... It''s fine... S-Sure..."
"Very well, and you''ll have to forgive me for this mess. As it''s all my fault, I am the founder of this whole place."
"Founder?? So... So you''re Cenavix?? What the fuck have you been doing here you bastard!?"
"The- The shit i''ve seen! The people i''ve seen dead!"
"Please, Surviving Girl. Your anger is valid but misplaced. I never intended for any of this. I ask you hear me out. Just for a moment."
"How could you not have!? You... Fine. Go ahead"
"Thank you. Allow me to start from the beginning. I once was Bryan Cenavix. The founder of this Sanitarium."
"In 1996 my Mother passed away leaving only me and my two sisters. She was a very mentally ill person, and never got the proper treatment she needed from the Hospital she stayed in. That''s why when I inherited her riches I had this entire place built. It had taken two years but the wait was worth it."
"However it was cut short when right under my nose those God''s Hand freaks started entering the Sanitarium. Pretending to be staff, but what they did has ruined everything I had built."
"God''s Hand? Who are the hell are they?"
"I don''t know much about them unfortunately. But all I know is they slipped through the cracks in our security, and built this entire Labratory without my knowledge. They caused so much damage, beyond their control even. When two years ago their ungodly creations got out, and flooded all throughout the Sanitarium.
"W-Wait, two years ago? No, that''s not right? Shouldn''t that have been much longer ago in that case?"
"It was two years ago, in 2006. It was all collapsing in front of my eyes. That''s why I''m here. In a panic. I found this Labratory. I found this machine. It was meant to be controlled by a member of God''s Hand, so they could operate long after that disaster. But I beat them too it. I shouldn''t have... I can only assume my sisters are long dead by now."
"That''s not right... It''s... 2013, not 2008 right now. Right? Right???"
"2013? Not here, no. How curious... Where could you have gotten that number from?"
"I swear, I... I was just going home from school. Then I found this... shed on my way home! It''s never been there before. I went in and then I was just taken here! And since then i''ve been dying over and over again!"
"Dying? That can''t be right. You''re still here, are you not?"
"No, you don''t get it! I...-"
"Nevertheless, Surviving Girl. Perhaps you''ve been transported here from a farther time somehow? As far of a reach that is. It''s the only possibility I can think of..."
"Ah... Jesus Christ... I-I can''t take much more of this...!"
"Please, do calm down. Allow yourself to rest up a while. It''s safe here, as I can see and control most of this Labratory."
"Meanwhile... I must part with you for the time being. There''s functions I need to maintain to keep on existing here. Unfortunately it requires I shutdown my main body."
"A-Alright, fine... I''ll be fine here..."
"Very well, it should only take no more then a few short hours."
"Hours...? Of course..."
The screens withdraw back to the bulb of the center of the cables and turn off, back to their default state. Leaving Surviving Girl by her lonesome presumably without any surveilience. It seems like perhaps things can finally look up. She found the Lab, and someone who can really help her. She couldn''t help but smile as she was hopeful...
Unfortunately it wouldn''t last long, as she''s choked with an iron pipe suddenly from someone from behind. Wrestling them to break free, she tries to pull it off her, but the pipe has a tight squeeze.
"SO Surviving Girl, you think that you can really fuck with me this many times and LIVE? FUCK NO!"
"Ack....! God.... Damn it! Why are you still... Alive!"
"I told you I literally can''t fucking die? Have you never believed me?!"
Struggling, Surviving Girl tries to kick and punch Cami. She eventually rams her head back into her nose, possibly breaking it.
"GAAH! You little.... FUCKER!!"
Cami swings the pipe at her, missing three times, the girl grabs Cami''s neck and pushes her down the room into one of the machines in the Lab. Slamming her head into it. She hits her head on a panel of some kind on the machine, and unknowlingly enter some kind of intake of the machine. Surviving Girl tries to choke her out.
"Why... won''t you... Leave me the hell alone!? You crazy bastard!"
"Haha... HAHAHAHAA! You look so pissed off right now!!!"
Cami just laughs at her, enjoying every second of this fight. The big machine whirrs and steams all of a sudden. A flash goes off as they''re both scanned under the big x-ray of the machine. They can barely focus on that right now as they''re too distracted by each other. before they know it, even more steam BURSTS out of the machine blinding them both completely and causing Surviving Girl collapse into a coughing fit. She swore she can hear some kind of hatch open from the machine, and she sees two unknown figures appear in the smoke and run off. She tries to chase after them, as well as trying to escape the smoke.
"Gahk- W-Wait...! What are.... Achk-! F-Fuck...!"
"Come back...! Damn it... Wheeze!"
She gasps to catch her breath. Seeing no more figures around. Was she just seeing things? She didn''t have time to think as she nearly completely forgot about Cami before she swung at her skull with the iron pipe. Sending her on the floor"
"Ahahahaha!!! Y-You dumb bitch! Playing with you is fun, you know. Most toys break quickly, haha, but you, YOU?!?! You''re still alive, and not only that but you''ve escaped me multiple times! I just can''t believe it! Honestly, it''s too fun. I almost want to let you live so I can keep chasing you!"
"I mean, what do you think? Should I let you live? Surviving Toy?"
"My name is Surviving Girl... And you can go fuck yourself!"
"Awwh, that''s no fun. Guess i''ll just ki- AGGCK!"
Before she can finish speaking, the girl slices up both her ankles with the carver. Sending her to the floor too. Cami inhales sharply in extreme pain.
"Ghhhaaa...! You MOTHER.... FFFFUUUCKER!"
"Aha... hahaha... Doesn''t feel so good, yeah??"
Surviving Girl regains her footing and takes Cami''s pipe, whacking her a bunch of times with it, brutally beating her, until she gets lightheaded from her concussion... She drops the pipe after staring down at her for a second, and drops her knee down into her stomach and goes right back to choking her.
"F-Faahker....Keel me... Then!!"
With a smile on her face, Cami is killed being choked to death. Surviving Girl let''s go, feeling her head where she was struck. She''s bleeding an extreme amount.
"D-Damn... You..."
"But I won... again."
Wondering if Cami was dead at all this time. She stared down at her body... Noticing her eyes filling up with a pink color. Then deep pink tears starting flooding down her face. Surviving Girl stood stunned and confused at this, until Cami sprung up back to life. Knocking her straight down, reversing the positions they both were just in.
"AHAHAHA!"
"HAHAAHAHA!"
<h4>"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"</h4>
<h2>"DIEE!!!!"</h2>
Cami clawed at and tore Surviving Girl up visciously, covering her in messy cuts, shredding her clothes up and spreading blood everywhere. Cami then grabbed her iron pipe back and beat her the same way she did earlier. She stopped, beating Surviving girl half to death, then took out her scalpel. Bringing it right down into her throat, then yanking it out, letting her blood spurt up like a fountain. Gurgling, Surviving Girl only saw Cami''s crazed face smiling down at her, covered in blood, her blood. Then it all faded to black. Dying once more.
