    <h2 style="text-align: center">╚════════════════════?????════════════════════╝</h2>


    ? November 8th 2008, Cenavix Sanitarium ?


    "GAASSP!"


    "Ah! Fu- Aaaah!"


    An unknown amount of time passed as usual. She awakes on the couch in the break room not so far away from The Overseer. Immediately stumbling and falling off the couch. Knocking her head on the floor. Though she got back up quickly, feeling her neck over where she was just stabbed earlier. Her hands were shaking, she swears she can still feel it. The sharp pain of the scalpel driving through her neck. She may come back completely unscathed after death, but the memory of it. The feeling. That never leaves.


    "Fuck! The overseer!"


    Without thinking too much about what just happened she runs back to the Overseer''s Lair.


    "OVERSEER!? OVERSEER!? ARE YOU BACK?"


    "HELLO???"


    "Fuck, please still be here!"


    "Are you still not done!? Come on!"


    No answer....


    "Shit... No way."


    Surviving Girl looked around, and then at the spot where Cami and her fought. Not even a single bloodstain where she died at. Yet, Cami''s blood was all over the floor. No sign of Cami though, thankfully... Is it truly all not real? Doubts start to fill her mind until suddenly The Overseer comes back.


    "Surviving Girl!"


    "Oh thank god.... Where did you go!?"


    "Where did I go? Where did YOU go is the question?"


    "When I returned you where nowhere to be found. I thought you had gone. I checked every camera around and I have not seen you anywhere."


    "Camera?- You have cameras around??"


    "Very few, yes. The sanitarium installed about fifty cameras around. Unfortunately that doesn''t cover close to everywhere, so they''re only placed in the most important spots to keep eye on. More unfortunately, I can only view about half of them in my current state."


    "So is that why you never saw me before?"


    "That is correct. I''m surprised you have guessed that. I never foresaw your coming. In fact, i''m surprised you were able to make it here unscathed as you are."


    "Yeah, well I wouldn''t say that. I kind of died several times to get to this point..."


    "Died? I do not understand..."


    "Doesn''t matter..."


    "I was told you could help me! Someone I met earlier told me about a Lab. So I found my way here."


    "I see. As much as I would love to help you unfortunately there is a problem with that."


    "Problem? What problem??"


    "Well. God''s Hand eventually figured out I had become the Overseer. So they came and attached small devices around The Sanitarium that limit my control... Three in particular.


    "They all power an EMP attached to my base."


    "I see... How do I remove it? Can I?"


    She would approach the overseer curiously. Circling around it until she spots the device.


    "You cannot, you need to be destroy the three first then come back here to disable the EMP. They''re small boxes that emit electromagnetic waves that disrupt my ability to function properly."


    "Right. I get it..."


    She doesn''t get it.


    "Very good, there are two of them close together in this Lab, down an elevator. However, there is one up above that I insist you go to first. As it''s very unsafe down in the Subterranean."


    "Subterranean? This place goes even deeper? How is that even possible? And why??"


    "I do not know why they do the things they do. However we''re in luck, despite things seeming grim. There is a storage attic in this place. All the way to the top on Floor 3. Through the Cafeteria there are stairs leading up there. There will be one of the devices, which you can simply destroy, they''re very fragile."


    "There''s also a special weapon up there that I believe you''ll be able to make use of."


    "A weapon? Thank god... I''ve been needing something like that."


    "Indeed, it''s a special God''s Hand technology gun that shoots a pulse, a type of ammuninition that the gun self produces, therefore you''ll never have the problem of running out of it."


    "You''ll certainly need it out there."


    "Fuck... Alright. The third floor. A gun, and a device. I got it!"


    "I just have... one question actually."


    "I''m listening."


    "I ran into a woman before. She... Her hand turned into a gun. She fucking shot somebody''s head off! The guy who told me about the Lab in the first place. She called herself Zenn-E, and said she was from Cenavix Labs... Is there even a God Hand to begin with??"


    "How can I really trust you?"


    Despite her words. Distrust was really the last thing she wanted. But she faced the Overseer firm. She wanted to be sure that it was really her ally.


    "I see... So you did run into that thing before... I understand you not trusting me Surviving Girl. Not yet."


    "That thing is.... Well let me state first that Cenavix Labs is just God''s Hand''s doing as always. It''s a method of covering themselves up. They wouldn''t ever knowingly create something that would speak of their name."


    "I used to have a friend, or so I used to think of him as a friend, in this place back when it was still running. He applied as a technician for the place. Making sure all the technological equipment ran as it should. Cameras, computers. We bonded over robotics one day. Eventually, he came to me with blueprints, the likes i''d never seen before. It was of some kind of android. Designed after my sister at the time. He named it after himself, calling it Zenn-E. That should have raised suspicions in me. But it didn''t"


    "When the downfall inevitably came, I never saw him again. He had left with the rest of them. So when I entered the Oveerseer I had built that android myself with the power I had. I tried over and over again. I eventually armed it. Made it deadly. I stuck with the name my friend had gave it. In foolishness, believing no one was left to save, I gave it the sole order to kill anyone left alive. Hoping it could kill whatever bastard God''s Hand or monster they made that was still around."


    "Yet, after I did. That''s when they limited my power. Now Zenn-E kills without reason, and I can''t stop it. It really is all my fault... I live with this guilt constantly and... and I lose memory from my past every day. I can''t even remember my either Sisters'' names or what they look like anymore. Zenn-E is the only thing keeping that memory for me."


    "I-I see... I''m sorry I doubted... I didn''t-"


    "It''s okay. Don''t apologize. Besides, you have a place do be don''t you? It''ll be dangerous Surviving Girl. But if you can restore my full power you''ll be saving the Sanitarium."


    "Right, of course! Don''t worry Overseer. I got this... I''m confident!"


    She starts to run off but before she can, Overseer stops her.


    "Wait! Before I forget... There''s one more thing you need."


    "Inside the break room in this Lab are lockers. Locker 429 has a gas mask in there. There are spores on the third floor that you must not breathe in. It is very toxic and dangerous. Don''t worry about contact with the skin. Just don''t breathe it in. I''ll drop the key to the locker for you now."


    Another hatch opens from the ceiling, dropping a single key down right into the hand of Surviving Girl. Key 429 acquired!


    "Thanks. I''ll be sure to grab it! Then i''ll be right back here..."


    She runs out the way she came in. With a new goal and hope in sight. This may be the turning around point for her finally. Surely, right? Arriving at the breakroom, she goes to Locker 429. Unlocking it and taking the Tactical Gas Mask. As well as more quarters in there.


    "Perfect! This should help me live through the Cafeteria then... I just have to.... make it. Somehow."


    She slams shut the locker. Not really needing the key anymore she left it in place and continued. Leaving the Lab, and coming up back through the disgusting dark hospital. There was no sign of Cami or the dog anywhere, luckily. Of course, the smell was still just awful from the gore room. It made her want to gag immediately upon reaching the top of the stairs. At least it was getting warmer. The chilly Laboratory was getting irritating for her.


    "This fucking place I swear..."


    "I''m half tempted to just put on the gas mask for this place alone...."


    "Heh..."


    She eventually finds her way back to the lit hospital. Turning off her flashlight, she peeks through the doors. No one, still. Except the weird flock of crablins that wander by, not paying any attention to the surviving girl. She grips the carver tightly. No more chances. Any threat, she has to kill them. It certainly wasn''t getting any safer. Hopefully she won''t run into Cami today, that''s the last thing she wanted right now. She snuck out through the doors as to not get the Crablins attention. Since last encounter she learned that they may be blind, or better yet, passive.


    "That''s one headache I don''t want to deal with."


    "Among the dozens of other headaches I don''t want to deal with..."


    "Sigh... If John were still here. He''d help. Damn it, John... Why did you have to die like this?"


    "And damn that cursed Zenn-E. Once I get that gun i''m blasting that thing the moment I see it..."


    She starts getting lost in thought again. For a moment her life seems... different. It seems much bigger, yet smaller. All of her previous worries have all drifted away, forgotten. Yet new ones have flooded in. Her mom, her friends, Lancaster, her brother. It all seems like it doesn''t matter anymore. She has all new things to worry about.


    "Damn it... I."


    "....Want to go home."


    While she was vulnerable, she gets ambushed by this creature jumping onto her shoulders from above. It clinged to her head and attacked The Surviving girl, scaring the hell out of her.


    "HAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!"


    "AH!? WHAT THE FUCK?!"


    The creature appears to be a cat... no mole, no- monkey? It''s... a creature. It''s multicolored, and very loud. Surviving Girl tries to grab the thing off her but it won''t relent.


    "Get.... the hell off me!!!"


    "IIYYAAHAHA~ BAAMM BAM!"


    She finally throws it off of her. Getting scratched all over the face in the process. It lands perfectly fine though. It seems like a very acrobatic animal, no natural one that''s for sure, it''s multicolored and has long arms.


    "What the hell are you?!"


    "MORSEELLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"


    "ME IS CRAZZZZY!"


    "Jesus Christ..."


    She''d swing her carver at the creature, Morsel. Trying to kill him. She stabs, swings, swings again. Morsel just avoids it though, laughing at her attempts. She can''t seem to get a single hit on him.


    "HAAHAA!! MISSED!"


    "YOU SUCK!"


    "What?? Shut up!"


    She tries to grab him and stab his arm but Morsel just grabs her wrists and punches her square in the nose.


    "OW! Shhiit...!"


    "MISSED AGAIN!! BOOHOO! HAHAHAAAA!"


    "PUT EM UP PUNK!"


    "Fuck this...!"


    She turns and runs. Trying to get back up to the main stairs by reception so she can get to the third floor. Though Morsel gives chase. He doesn''t even seem to break a sweat acting this crazy. He''s laughing all the while chasing Surviving Girl down the halls of the Hospital. It''ll be impossible to lose him and hide. He''s just too quick to even get the chance.


    "RAAAAAHHH!! HAAHAAA! WHERE GOING!?"


    "AWAY...! GO AWAY!"


    "NUH UUUUUHH!!!"


    She makes it to the stairs leaving the hospital. Morsel trying to pounce on her on the stairs, but he just makes it onto her leg, trying to climb up it. The girl trips from his weight. She turns and tries to kick him off. It doesn''t work. She punches him multiple times, knocking him off her leg then kicks him down the flight of stairs.


    "WAAAAHHH OOF OUCH EEK OWIE!!!!"


    "Bitch!"


    She gets back up and runs into the hallway, finally returning to the ground floor. The success is shortlived, as Morsel suddenly catches back up to her immediately, jumping up on her face again, attacking her like a squirrel would, if the squirrel were the size of a small dog.


    "YAAAAAAAH! GOTCHA BITCH! HAHAHAHAAAA!"


    "SHIT!"


    They have a fight that sends Surviving Girl stumbling around, running into walls. They scratch, pinch, pull, and punch at each other. Only interrupted when a small red dot appears on Surviving Girl. Making Morsel stop his fight, holding her shirt about to punch her.


    "What the?"


    It moves down away from her onto him. Onto his head.


    "Ah.... Shit."


    A gunshot fires. Morsel narrowly avoids the bullet. The shock sends Surviving Girl falling to the floor on her ass leaning onto the wall.


    "I have found you again. Finally...."


    "No more setbacks. You will die along with this monster."


    "Aaah, no. Fuck that!"


    "Z-Z-Zenn-E...!"


    "I OUT THIS BITCH! PEACE!"


    Morsel runs the hell out of there while Zenn-E fires more gunshots down at him. All missing, Morsel runs down the stares back to the Hospital presumably to Cami. Meanwhile, Zenn-E forgets him and decides to focus back on Surviving Girl.


    "Target lost... How bothersome."


    "You shall do, then."


    "No... Not again. Not AGAIN!"


    Thinking fast, the girl books it. She knows where she''s going and she wasn''t gonna screw up this time. She runs down past reception up the main stairs. Unfortunately, the way to floor three is down another staircase. So she has to continue further if she wants to reach her destination.


    "Fuck, fuck...!"


    She reaches the top of the stairs and turns the corner, leaning against the wall to rest. She was EXHAUSTED from all the running. The girl peeks the corner, down the stairs. Zenn-E was nowhere to be seen. Where the hell did it go?


    "What...?"


    She whispers to herself. Still exhuasted, now confused too.


    "Well...Good."


    "Thank go-"


    Turning back around, there Zenn-E was. She grabs the girl''s neck.


    "No more escape!"


    "I''ve told you time and time again how your resistence means nothing!"


    "You will die. I will make sure of it!"


    "Ack! No!! Damn it...!"


    She tries to attack Zenn-E with the carver, it barely even dents her though. It throws the girl onto the floor and flips her hand into her gun barrel, and aims it at Surviving Girl. She tries to crawl back away, until she''s frozen when Zenn-E turns around suddenly, detecting another target. This glowing blue ball of some kind of light is thrown at the Zenn-E, causing major damage to her.


    "What the-"


    "Agh- Damn...!"


    "Hostility detected!"


    Zenn-E fires off into the hallway, but two more energy balls are blasted at her. Sparks fly out of her. She states something about haven taken critical damage, and retreats. Instead of running, holes in her feet open up and she hovers into the air, flying off quickly down the stairs. The girl, taken aback, is still frozen on the floor. She looks off to where Zenn-E was attacked from.


    "Hey, Surviving Girl, is it? Are you okay?"


    "C-C-Cami!!?"


    This figure, a girl looking just like the nurse Cami reaches out for her. Though now she seems rather hesitant after had alarmed Surviving Girl.


    "Oh, no no no! It''s... I''m just... I''m not Cami!"


    "Wh-Why are you blue??"


    She points her carver knife at the strange photonegative Cami.


    "I''m... Listen! I want help! Just hear me out..."


    In a bold move, The Negative Cami approaches Surviving Girl and holds out her hand for her. She takes it, after a second or two of hesitation. They meet face to face, this strange girl is the spitting image of Cami, just her color is.... odd.


    "What are you?"


    "Why do you look like her?"


    "I''ve had that question myself. This is no place to talk however, will you follow me? I''ve established a small safe room with supplies not far from here."


    "Sure.... S-Sure, alright."


    Negative Cami leads her down the hall of the second floor. This hallway seems to contain offices with lots of computers, tables, meeting rooms, bathrooms, that kind of thing. She takes the girl into a small office space she turned into some kind of shop with a bed, table, and a few shelves with useful items. The Cami sits down behind the counter.


    "Wow... quite the setup here. You put all this together?"


    "I did! It was.... well. It sucked. It took like three hours to drag everything out here and then everything in."


    "Meanwhile I got attacked by two different patients."


    "Uh-huh..."


    "Well, anyways. I put it off long enough."


    "I am well, I''m Negative Cami."


    "I was created from that machine back down in the Laboratory. It seems like it''s purpose was to create clones of the people it scans. Those clones then are supposed to be the complete opposite of the person it has scanned in every way."


    "Jesus, so you were the figure I saw when I was fighting Cami..."


    "I could have sworn I saw...."


    "But wait, why did you run away then? You could have helped me!"


    "My apologies, I had just been born in that moment. I was scared so I ran"


    "Since then i''ve quickly learned about this place and what contains... Ehh, sorta."


    "Sort of?"


    "I was born with Cami''s memories as well, everything she knows, I knew from the moment I existed. Though just in the last week of her memories."


    "I know all about you Surviving Girl. You haven''t been here for very long, only a few days by now. It seems you''ve quickly gained the attention of Cami too. Not to mention Zenn-E."


    "God this is so crazy... What the fuck?"


    All this information so quickly is freaking the girl out a little.


    "I-I understand it''s hard... I want to help you. I really want to help you."


    "How are you gonna do that? There''s not much any of us can do here except starve and suffer..."


    "I have this, this shop for you. Listen, you''ve been finding loose quarters around here, right?"


    "I have... Why?"


    "So have I, there seems to be a lot left around here when everyone died."


    "I''ll cut to the chase. I''ll trade you any item you might need, be it food, or medical care. For these quarters you find."


    "But... But why the hell do you need these quarters? Negative Cami... I''m starving."


    "I need food too, Surviving Girl, I may not be human, but I still starve and hurt like one."


    "I have plans for the future, lots of plans. There''s a lot of surviving people here, still trapped, even after two years."


    "This place is HUGE, and they''re hiding. I can help them. Eventually, right now I need to start small."


    "Those projects are too overbearing currently."


    ".... But why the hell do you need quarters!?"


    "Y-You see, i''ve been spying on the monsters and crazies here. Making special documents on them from the information i''ve been able to gather."


    "The only problem is.... The printers here need quarters. A-Ahaha..."


    "Really...? That''s really... dumb"


    "Will you help me?"


    "O-Of course, sure..."


    "Thank you so much, Surviving Girl. Trust me... I can- I WILL do a lot. For you, and for everyone here."


    "I''ll have to see it to believe it..."


    "Of course, for now let me help you out with your injuries now, I''ll do it for free even."


    "Really? Thank you. I''d like that."


    "Lovely, just come over on the bed here and ill tend to your bleeding."


    The girl would  come and sit on the bed behind the counter. Meanwhile Negative cami takes out guaze pads, rubbing alcohol and bandages. She douses a cottonswab with some rubbing alcohol and gently cleans her scrapes. It burns, but she can bear it. She then dries them with the gauze pads and bandages her face so her cuts won''t bleed openly anymore.


    "So... what are you gonna do?"


    "Hm?"


    "The Overseer put you up to a task, correct?"


    "Ah, you know about that. Figures..."


    "Well, he needs my help restoring his full control of the Sanitarium."


    "But first I need to get a gun from the attic."


    "I see..."


    She puts on the last bandage and puts her supplies back onto her shelves.


    "That should take of that. Please, find me again whenever you need."


    "And stay safe."


    "Of course..."


    She purchases some protein bars that Negative Cami has in her shop, and begins to leave.


    "Oh, wait! I almost forgot!"


    "Huh? What''s up?"


    "About the documents... I''ve made a discovery. Something I think you should see..."


    She slides a paper to Surviving Girl, It''s an info document about Cami. It has a photo of her, height, weight, a detailed description. It says her full name is... Camilla Cenavix.


    "Cami.... Camilla Cenavix? Wait, that means that-"


    "Camilla Cenavix is the sister of Bryan Cenavix, the founder of this Sanitarium.... And-"


    "The Overseer...."


    Silence fills the room as Surviving Girl processes this breakthrough.


    "Does either of them know??"


    "I don''t think so, and I don''t have the heart to tell them. I don''t think Cami should know."


    "Cami I get. You''re just going to keep that from the Overseer?"


    "Yes, I am. It will just be better that way."


    "If you say so... Well, thank you for the care. I promise I''ll make it back safe."


    Negative Cami nods, and as Surviving Girl eats the only food she''s had for hours. She leaves the shop. Making her way to the second set of stairs. The silence is eerie as she makes her way. No sounds but her own footsteps. No signs of Zenn-E, Jerry, Morsel or any patients. Along the way she gets a good view of the courtyard. The very center of the Manor. The layout of this place is a very Loose 0 shape. The middle being an outside couryard. It''s very dimly lit up. Hard to see with the sun just setting, but it seems to mostly just be grass and gardens, with a center hallway going through it. It must be some kind of outside area for the patients or staff when they need to relax.


    "Woow..."


    "I''ll have to find a way to get through to there hopefully soon"


    "It''ll make for a good shortcut."


    Passing the courtyard she finally finds the second set of stairs, she notices the air of there very smoggy, coated in some kind of mist of spores.


    "That doesn''t look good... I''ll have to- GAAAH!"


    Before she knows it, a needle is stuck into her neck. Seems she let her guard down. She attempts to turn around to see the culprit, though she loses her balance in no time, collapsing onto the floor. Only to see the figure of a very familiar evil little girl looking down at her.


    "Heh, upping the dosage was the right idea after all."


    "Hope I didn''t up it TOOO much, don''t wanna kill you right away now~"


    "Nnoo... Fuuhh...."


    Unable to move she slowly gives into the sedatives....


    <h4>An unknown amount of time passes.</h4>


    The surviving girl wakes back up, her vision blurry, she can barely make out where she is. All she sees is a harsh light shining in her face above her and a thin blue drape over her body. She can''t seem to move either, or much feel anything right now. She turned her head to see a slowly clearing figure beside her. It''s Cami. Beside her is Uuni


    "Miss Cami, she''s finally awoken..."


    "Good Morning!! Finally! At think point I thought I killed you by accident!"


    "Heh heh heh, you miss me?"


    Struggling, Surviving Girl tries to move her arms, but she''s strapped down against a hospital bed. Not to mention she''s too weak to struggle very hard.


    "Aww, don''t look so scared now."


    "You looked cuter when you were fast asleep."


    "Though I can''t say I hate your scared face!"


    "D-Damn you..."


    "Let.... me go...."


    "Not a chance! Dumbass, you think I just would?"


    "You know Surviving Girl, I have to be honest with you, ahaha!"


    She smiles, trying to contain excitment.


    "You''ve really made me feel things no one else has before!"


    "Like really!! Chasing you around has been the most exciting i''ve felt in so long!"


    "You just keep getting away! No matter how many times we run into each other, I just can''t seem to kill you!"


    "You have...."


    "Don''t make up stories, that won''t distract me silly~"


    "But, you know what...?"


    "No toy of mine has ever been this hard to break before. Not like you"


    "And, actually, IT''S REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!"


    "Miss Cami is very angry at you"


    "Of course I''m angry! I''ve had fun with you Surviving Girl."


    "But it''s time I break my toy... Ahaha~"


    "Nuh... Nooo...!"


    "Let me go...!!!"


    Surviving Girl struggled more, getting really nervous. She still barely had any energy to move, the drugs still haven''t worn off on her yet.


    "Miss Cami will not let you go."


    "It''s a good thing too, because i was just starting to get HUNGRY!"


    She yanked the drape over the girl and turned the ligh over to reveal the horrifying truth of the situation. Her stomach is cut wide open with her skin stretched wide open. Blood drips out from the sides of her body, with her stomach, intestines and liver all in view. The smell is godawful. The Girl''s expression immediately darkens, horrified, and at a complete loss for words. Her heart rate spikes instantly. She looks like she want to cry.


    "N-No... nononono... no...! no!!!"


    "Hahaha! There''s that look of yours I love the most!"


    "It''s most satisfying to see her suffer."


    "What will you do, Miss Cami?"


    "Well, you still can''t feel this yet right Surviving Girl? You''re still numb all over."


    "Don''t worry, you''ll feel it. Just wait!"


    "I''ll be sure to drag this on for a long time... You''ll feel it"This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    She begins to dig her hand into her stomach. Not even wearing gloves, she rummages around... slowly. Surviving Girl starts to wince, she can faintly feel it all, only feeling a slight burn all over her entire body making tears run down her eyes. Cami doesn''t stop there though as she grips onto one of her organs, pulling on it.


    "N-No.... no s-stop... god... please stop...!"


    "What''s the matter? Even if I did stop you know there''s no way you''re recovering from this one."


    "You''re as good as dead! HAHAHAA!"


    She yanks the organ right out of her, causing the girl to writhe. No amount of drugs would ever let her numb the pain out. Cami stares fondly at the organ, it''s her pancreas.


    "Huh... Not what I would have preffered, not really my favorite meat in the body."


    "You want it Uuni?"


    "N-No thank you..."


    "Huh, more for me then!~"


    She takes a big bite of the pancreas. Digging into it like a hungry animal, leaving a horrified expression in the girl''s tear-filled eyes.


    "Mhhng. Aaaah! It''s so sour... I hate it! Give me something more tender!"


    She throws it to the floor, and digs in for more. Causing more immense pain for the girl, which is only getting worse as the numbing drugs wears off. Cami grips on her spleen, right behind the stomach, pulling as hard as she can on it. Finally yanking it out, and munching away at it.


    "Gaah... No more... no more please!"


    "Just... kill me... I can''t take it.... I can''t."


    ".... Weak. You''re not making this any fun you know?"


    "I knew I should have used less concentration in that sedative."


    "I wanted to hear you screaming in agony!"


    She''d grab at her intestines and squeeze violently. Trying to incentivize the worst pain she possibly can from the girl. She digs her nails into her, staring deeply. It makes the girl squirm. It hurts the worst, though she''s still holding in as best she can, trying to not give Cami the satisfaction. Though it still makes more tears flow out of her eyes and Cami looks dissatisified.


    "Win some, lose some I guess."


    "Hey, you want some? Haha! Maybe it''ll brighten your gloomy mood up a little!"


    She grabs The Girl''s face and shoves her half eaten spleen inside of her mouth, trying to force it down while she struggles. Surviving Girl tries to fight it, gagging at the horrible taste. She starts to choke and suddenly vomits upward, causing Cami to immediately pull her hand back in disgust. Her vomit only floods her mouth, causing her to choke on her own vomit, unable to turn or move at all.


    "What?! Nononono! Damn it you''re not dying yet!! NOO!!!"


    In a panic, Cami tries to turn The Girl around. Unable to, she fumbles with the straps trying to free her.


    "You bastard... STAY ALIVE!!!"


    "Miss Cami, be careful-"


    She frees the girl finally, and in attempt to turn her around, she pushes her right off the hospital bed. Causing all of her guts to spill out and a puddle of blood to form under her.


    "FUCK!"


    "NOO!!!"


    Cami tries all she wants to save Surviving Girl, she eventually ends up bleeding out and dying. Finally ending her torment...


    <h4 style="text-align: center">It''s all so painful, isn''t it?</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">I''m reaching out to you, myself</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">Give into that desire for revenge.</h4>


    "GAASP- NOO! NOOO!!!!!!"


    "GAAH..... NGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"


    She awakes yet again, somewhere back up on the second floor, immediately leaping out of her bed. She falls to the floor, sobbing, punching the wall she screams. She punches the wall so many times her knuckles start to bleed, but she doesn''t care. She continues to sob, feeling hopeless.


    "No more.... I CAN''T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"


    "JUST LET ME GO! LET ME DIE....! LET ME DIE GOD DAMN IT!"


    "I''VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!! I CAN''T...."


    "I.... I"


    All of a sudden, Negative Cami bursts in, hearing all the yelling from her shop. Causing the girl to stand and grip her carver, alarmed.


    "STAY THE FUCK BACK! I''LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"


    "Surviving Girl, it''s me! Calm down.... C-Calm down, please. It''s just me!"


    Seeing the tragic state the girl is in, Negative Cami runs and hugs her. Trying to calm her down, embracing her as Surviving Girl sobs into her shoulder. She drops the carver.


    "S-Surviving Girl..."


    "Shh, shh... It''s alright.... What happened?"


    "Cami... She... She tried to.... I..."


    She can''t even get any words out, she just continues to sob as Negative Cami continues to comfort her. This is truly the lowest point she''s been at in her whole life. After some time, Surviving Girl is brought back to the shop where, she''s cared for for free again. Her knuckles are bandaged and the girl takes a well deserved rest on the bed in Negative''s shop. She sleeps like a baby... An unknown amount of time passes and when Surviving Girl awakes, she takes her leave back to her original destination. Few words were said between each other in that time. Finally, Surviving Girl makes it to the stairs again, she takes her gas mask, and puts it on. Marching upwards to greater heights, she has no idea what to expect...


    "O-Okay... It''s time to go."


    Up the stairs the air gets thick with smog, making it rather hard to see. As the girl went through the hallways she started to see exactly what was going on up here.


    "What- the fuck....?"


    There were pink masses of... something all over the place. The human remains here were taking over by some sort of masses of flesh that grows like fungus. All the corpses here seemed to have died this way, by inhaling the smog and getting infected. It looked absolutely disgusting.


    "Jesus Christ..."


    "What the fuck happened here?"


    She tried to avoid touching any of the disgusting flesh masses in the hallway. Luckily there was nothing ALIVE up here at least. Nothing that would want to hurt the girl, hopefully. She crept through, the thickness of the air made her nervous to breathe. Even with the safety of the gas mask it felt wrong, dangerous still... She found two large doors finally. The Cafeteria. The smog felt especially thick here. She kicked open the doors to reveal it


    "Holy.... Fuck!"


    The Cafeteria stretched out far. The tables all covered with stretched flesh mass. It was like a hive for the stuff. Walls of flesh was spread out all around the floor and over the tables and chairs. Luckily she was able to spot some kind of safe path forward free of  flesh that could allow her to make it through to the end of the room without touching anything. All about the tables were these living mushroom-like tentacles of flesh with glowing eyes and mouths that lit up the area, rythmically shining their light around the whole room. It was a horrifying sight. She entered the room silently, trying not to make noise. As she gets close to the maze of flesh, she gets tackled by a man suddenly. It seems to be a crazy patient, also wearing a gas mask.


    "AAHH!? FUCK!"


    "YOU THERE!? YOU SHOULDN''T BE IN HERE!!!"


    "Get- get off me, damn it!"


    "YOOOOUUU DON''T UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OR WEIGHT OF THE SITUATION WE''RE IN NOW, DO YA???"


    "The Visceral Mite grows ever larger here! It spreads and it spreads and it spreads and it spreads!"


    "What are you TALKING about?!"


    "The perfect lifeform girl! The one that will save us all! It grows and it spreads and it spreads!"


    "SOON IT''LL BE THE ONLY THING THAT LIVES, SPREADING EVER SO MORE!"


    "HAHAHAAAA... YOU BETTER NOT INTERRUPT IT NOW. YOU''LL JUST BECOME ONE WITH THE FLESH!"


    "AAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!"


    "Nnoo!"


    She fights with the patients, pushing him off her finally. He stumbles and rolls in front of the flesh fungus. It''s eyes shine right over him. The creature hisses and spews out an even thicker gas at the man. He screams as immediately it passes right through the mask into his lungs. Flesh grows out his face as he bleed profusely, being overtaken with pink flesh until it connects with the mass, merging together. He becomes completely unrecognizable in seconds. Just part of the mass now. It has spread.


    "J-Jesus! Oh god...! Fuck...! What the fuck??"


    She sits there and shock as the flesh fungus pays her no mind and continues it''s normal pattern now.


    "Don''t get seen... I got it."


    "What have I gotten myself into? Madugong impyerno..."


    Without further ado, without any other option. She decides to treck through the deadly maze. Carefully, yet speedy, and quietly. That''s a LOT to balance at once, it''s going to be difficult but possible. Even if it takes dozens of failed attempts. She''s got this!


    "Alright... I can do this... I just have to-"


    Before long, she was too slow for the rhythm. She got caught by the fungus, it sprayed it''s toxins at her.


    "AAH NO, NO!- NOOO-"


    The pain was immeasurable, growing flesh all over your body and becoming one with the mass... Luckily that pain only lasts so long for her. Before long, as always she wakes up yet again. This time she was leaning up against the wall right in front of the doors to the Cafeteria, with her mask still on. That was certainly new. But she''s not done yet. She''s still determined to see this through!


    "Damn it... Alright."


    "It''s just another failure... With extremely painful consequences..."


    "Let''s.... go again, I guess."


    She went through. The guy was still dead. There, he was even further consumed into the mass. "I guess it really is true that time goes by everytime I die." She finally realized. It didn''t change anything for her. She trekked right back through... Sneaking around, avoiding detection. The fungi really did seem to not be able to detect her unless she was directly shined on by their sight. Now sound, she didn''t really want to know. So she kept going! Surviving Girl made it about halfway down the maze not realizing this next group of flesh fungi had different rythms of when they''d turned around... So she died again, and tried again. She began to learn to not guard her lives like they were her last. She would try as many times as she needed to! The fear of death started to become more and more transparent to her the longer she stayed here. She started to realize that, too.


    "Damn tentacles!"


    "I''m sick of you already! You know that!? Go to hell!"


    "Bastards!"


    She learned that they don''t seem to hear at all. So she could shout at them all she wanted. Though attacking them... not so much. She swung her carver at it, trying to kill it. It bled and screeched at her, and immediately doused her with the poison mist. Killing her yet again... So attacking was definitely a no go. "Well, attempt number four then." She thought. Sneaking down the maze again. She payed more attention to the rhythm this time. They would always turn and look away from her to check behind them, giving her time to quickly sneak right by till she made it to a safe spot where no tentacles were looking at. The next group always had different patterns then the last. With some quick thinking and movement she finally made it to the end of the cafeteria. There was the kitchen in the back, the floor was completely gone. The kitchen had nothing interesting, it was devoid of any food or knives. Just old sinks stoves, and fridges. There was a back hall leading to stairs. It must be the attic. Finally. Of course it wasn''t all safe up there, as there were cables of flesh leading up there.


    "Alright, here we go. Finally, the gun..."


    "And i''ll cut any thing that tries to get in my way..."


    She takes a deep breath and steps up, avoiding stepping on any of the flesh, just in case it would alert any creature or parasite. As she walked up the wooden stairs, the mist cleared it seemed to be safe up here. When she approached the top, she slowly pulled off the mask... and inhaled. She seemed to be safe... So she finally took off the now sweaty gas mask. She sighed in relief.


    "Aaaghh, thank god..."


    She looked around, it was dark, and eerie. She took out her flash light to brighten up the place. The strings of flesh disappear far off into the place. It seems to be a place with a bunch of boxes, chairs, bags of sand? Just a bunch of dusty old junk. It''s extremely cluttered too, even before the disaster this place must have been in bad shape, she thought. She was able to find a window, she could barely see out of it. But she was very very high up at this point.


    "Jesus..."


    "That is... terrifying. For sure..."


    "No one is ever coming to save this place huh... Even two years later."


    "Wasn''t even planned abandonment. It just happened one day..."


    She tried not to get too lost in thought, as she remembered that has spelled her doom before. She gets back to the mission, stepping over broken furniture, old books. All the likes. She finally reached the other wall at the end. There was a gun on a table, exactly what the overseer explained.


    "There it is! The gun!"


    She grabbed it. She got the God''s Hand Handgun, it was quite heavy. Possibly ten pounds or so, maybe a little more? She was thinking about what the Overseer said before. "So, this should have endless ammo? As long as I let it reload itself." She found a strange card and the metal EMP box in the drawer of the table too. She put it on the table and shot at it. The gun was mildly loud, it certainly doesn''t shoot bullets. It was blue, it''s some kind of plasma or laser, instantly incinerated the box. That''s one down! She sighed a sigh of relief. Now she had to get back to the Lab.


    "Thank God... Let''s get the fu-"


    Before she finishes that thought however, those strings of flesh pull back. Something is aware of her prescence, and she is aware of it''s presence too. The Girl raises her gun into the darkness. She DOESN''T want to be caught off guard again. Some slimy noises are heard, and shuffling. It sounds like it''s coming from the ceiling, so she aims her gun high.


    "Hey! Who the hell!?"


    "Oh god....!"


    The worm-like creature reveals itself. This pale fleshy creature crawls across the ceiling with insane speed toward her. It looks almost humaoid, having only arms and a humanoid head and body, though instead of legs it just has an elongated tail in which it slithers around with. She tries to shoot up at The Visceral Mite but only misses. The worm, drops down onto the girl grabbing at her body and with it''s teeth like razor blades bit into the girl tearing into her stomach, trying to burrow in her stomach. The pain was agonizing. She tried desperately to pull the Mite off her and tried to whack it with the gun. But it was no use. Dropping too her knees something felt strange, she felt her muscles spasming, her arms fighting for control. After what felt like too long, she finally collapsed from shock and blood loss and died.


    ? November 9th 2008, Cenavix Sanitarium ?


    "GAAASP!"


    "DAMN IT...! GAWD.... Gaaaah!"


    "FFfffffuck me...."


    She rolls out of the bed, holding her stomach and resisting the urge to throw up... She successfully doesn''t throw up. Strangely, she finds herself in Negative Cami''s shop this time. But Negative Cami is nowhere to be found... Maybe she went to hunt for more stock? All her product and items were just all left here. The Girl is extremely hungry... She peeks out, still nowhere to be seen.


    "I''m sorry Negative Cami...."


    With a guilty mind, she takes food from the shelf and eats it right on the  spot. It tastes old, but she can''t really be picky. She noticed at least that everytime she dies her body seems to reset back to the state she was in when she first entered the place. With no damage, a clean dress and a mildly full stomach. But that also means that within a few mere hours she''ll start to go hungry every time.


    "Mffghh.... It''s sho trash but it''sh sho goohd..."


    "Mmmnnh, Thish chocohlat may be shtale..."


    "Surviving Girl??"


    "Aoh... Shhhiiht!"


    "Hey! Thief! You''re stealing my cliff  bars!"


    "Aah, noh... I''m noht..."


    "You''re face is full of chocolate and crumbs!"


    "You have to pay for that you know! I hope you have the quarters!"


    "Sorrhgy...."


    She forks over the cash to cover the food she stole and apologizes. She talks with Negative Cami for a few minutes then leaves. The Surviving Girl heads for the underground. She safely makes it across  the ground floor and heads down through the Offices Hallway. On her way back to The Lab, she runs into an unfriendly face....


    "SURVIVING GIRL!"


    "Oh god..."


    The Nurse Cami appears, and she looks less then pleased. Her assistant Uuni stands beside her, both blocking the way in front of Surviving Girl.


    "Your story ends here, tonight..."


    "That''s right, no more fuckin around! You die here and now!"


    "Can''t you fuckin leave me alone already!? I''m so tired of having to deal with you!"


    "Funny, because I can say the same about you!"


    "You were such a fun toy at first. But now you''re TOO hard to break!"


    "Uuni, i''m giving you special permission. Cut off her head. You can add it to  your collection."


    "Thank you Miss Cami."


    Uuni holds her bloody hacksaw. She usually shows no emotion whatsoever, but right now her hand trembles. She''s excited. "Just how many heads has she sawed off their bodies? What a freak!" Surviving Girl pulls out her new gun and shoots Uuni. It blasts a small hole right through her head. In an instant, she''s killed. Uuni drops dead, her hacksaw makes a clang on the floor and Cami''s face fills with dread.


    "UUNI! NOOOO!!!!!!"


    Cami runs to her body, much to The  Girl''s surprise.


    "YOU! YOU SON A BITCH.... WHY!? UUNI!"


    "D-Don''t even pretend like you care about another life besides you''re own!"


    "SHE DIDN''T DESERVE IT! SHE WAS MY FRIEND, DAMN YOU!"


    "DAMN YOU SURVIVING GIRL! I''LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"


    She stands, in actual tears.


    "I''LL FUCKING KILL YOU, IN UUNI''S STEAD!"


    "I''M GOING TO CHOP OFF YOUR FUCKING HEAD!!!!!!!"


    Surviving Girl steps back. Meanwhile while Cami is lost in grief and anger, she doesn''t notice Jerry uncloaking behind her, letting out a low growl as he towers over her.


    "....? WHAT THE FUCK????!!!"


    Cami turns around trying to pull out her scalpel. But it''s too late, Jerry the Chamelon shoots his tongue out, sticking onto Cami. He pulls her in as he stabs  his tongue, trying to escape. The Chameleon yells as the pain causes it to loses balance, and Cami ends up being thrown onto his back instead.


    "F-Fuck!?"


    "Three targets detected..."


    Behind Surviving Girl now was Zenn-E. In this moment she realized all hell was breaking loose. So She RAN for it. Running past Jerry in a bold move she also grabbed Uuni''s hacksaw! Replacing the Carver weapon she had before, this one looks sharper and more trustworthy. Zenn-E shot at all of them. It missed Surviving Girl but hitting Jerry. Causing him to flee, chasing after The Girl with Cami still  ontop of him. Zenn-E followed behind them all, with her rocket powered boosts.


    "Shit! Shiiit! Leave me alone!"


    "Stop running immediately! You are all to be terminated!"


    Guns fire in rapid succession. It  felt like a true nightmare. Three of the worst threats she''s faced all looking to kill her at once.


    "GAAAAHHH DIE ALREADY!!!!"


    Cami, on the chameleon takes out her syringe gun, trying to shoot at the girl now. Unfortunately for her trying to fire a projectile on a moving car-sized reptile doesn''t provide the most efficient results. Surviving Girl ran for her fucking life. The fear she felt is fear she never felt before. She wasn''t ever gonna feel tired at this rate, running for her life. She ran down the halls, vaulting over debris, cutting corners, and slipping through holes in walls that Jerry could just break through!


    "COME BAAACK!"


    "Camilla Cenavix! Your life is also forfeit."


    "My name is CAMI!"


    Cami loads another syringe and tries to shoot Zenn-E. But it just shoots the syringe out of the air.


    "FUCK!"


    The Surviving Girl finds the stairs and practically tumbles down them, meanwhile Jerry right behind her crashes down the stairs into the walls to chase her. Cami STILL tries to shoot Surviving Girl down. Eventually running out of syringes... She throws the gun at her which just ends up bonking Jerry in the face. Jerry freaks out and crashes into the reception desk, letting Surviving Girl get away and run into the dark Hospital. She finally escaped, and ran to the Lab. She looked back, no sign of Zenn-E or Jerry or Cami. So she decided to catch her breath.


    "Oh thank god! Jesus.... Je.... Fu.... fucck... god"


    "Haaah.... Haaahaha.... Ahaha....."


    "I actually didn''t die.... Actually..."


    "I survived... For once... Hahaaaah!"


    "Suckers!~"


    She leaned up against the wall for a moment to catch her breath... Then she went down the lab. All the way to the room where The Overseer was. It was like a 7 minute walk there.


    "Overseer! I''m here!"


    "Hello...?"


    "I got the gun!"


    "I''m here! I''ve see you got it! That''s brilliant. I feared the infection would have taken you..."


    "You truly impress, Surviving Girl!"


    "Ahaha... Yeah... Thanks."


    "So, where to next?"


    "Right, so the God''s Hand had made a special place for themselves even further underground."


    "A place I call the Subterranean."


    "What they used that place for, I could not figure out. But it holds very dangerous monsters."


    "Down the elevator is an empty saferoom with two opposing paths, both leading to massive vault doors."


    "On the right side is the furnace, it''s scorching hot in there with smoldering flames, steam pipes, and short red creatures resembling demons."


    "On the left, is a freezer. It''s a massive ice box. The floor is all covered in shredded ice and there''s fans blowing inward all over the walls. I do not know what''s inside but something lurks in there."


    "There are two small boxes down there, one in each place."


    "I just need you to destroy them both, then return to me."


    "I promise I will uphold my end of the deal. I will be able to reprogram Zenn-E."


    "It will help you break out of here. All I need you to do is call for help on the outside."


    "Bring an army here, tell them to work with Zenn-E to destroy this place once and for all."


    "Destroy? But..."


    "Yes, this place needs to disappear. It''s beyond saving. Too much pain has been caused here."


    "This is the only way, I can never began to make up for what i''ve caused. But I will do all I can."


    "The Elevator is beyond the doors behind me. I hope you''re prepared Surviving Girl."


    ".... I am."


    She nods, in reassurance, and goes through the doors. Reaching the Elevator. Taking a deep breath, she presses the button. The elevator is right there, so the doors open. There''s only one button... She presses it and descends down to the SUBTERRANEAN.


    "......."


    ".....Hm."


    "Mhm...."


    The ride down felt ominous.... The temperature got less cool as she descened. Eventually she made it. Either the ride down was very slow, or very deep. When the doors opened she was met with a wide steel room. It was entirely empty and only lit with one light in the ceiling in the middle. On either side were two small other rooms, both of them containing nothing but MASSIVE vaults. The Surviving Girl Decided to go the right.


    "How am I going to open this fucking thing....?"


    "God damn..."


    With force, she grabs the valve and struggles to twist it. Eventually it stops resisting and unlocks. She pulls the giant vault door open to The Furnace.


    "Holy.... Holy shit.... !?"


    Immediately hit with a blast of heat, Surviving Girl is met with The Furnace Room. The place is absolutely scorching with heat you can feel from the outside even, and it only got hotter when you walked in. There''s steel walls and a black rocky floor, there are shaky catwalks and tons of boilers and furnaces. The place looks like a steel mill wih molten lava flowing down conveyers and huge piles of coal just stuffed into corners as surplus. Steam constantly runs out the furnace''s as coal is automatically dropped into them by other conveyer belts.


    "What the hell....?"


    "How does- How does a place like this even exist??"


    "This is insane..."


    A lot of places have left her speechless before in this place, but this, this is different. This is insanity, it was like a steel mill boiler room volcano! The Girl walked through, between machines and steaming pipes, lava falls and... imps!? Suddenly, from the furnaces, small demons emerge from out the fire to see their new visitor.


    "No way... Is that-"


    "YO! JIM, DARRYL, BOB, PAUL! LOOK AT THIS!"


    "Huh? Huh what- wait-"


    More small imps come out from neighboring furnaces.


    "YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!"


    "YEAH! THE WRONG HOUSE!"


    "Damn right! Get out of our house!"


    "HAHAHA! Who is this emo? Why''s she''s wearing all black? You picked the WRONG HOUSE for that!"


    "Hey- heyheyheyehey fellas, do you think she burns?"


    "Welll hold on a second now, I- I was just leaving"


    "LET''S FIND OUT!"


    "Fuck....!"


    All the imps start honing in on the Surviving Girl. They all look red hot to the touch, considering they seem to live in active furnaces. The Girl runs, trying to lose them in the maze of pipes and lava. It doesn''t go well when in no time she runs into a dead end almost immediately, and one of the imps pounces on her from above, scorching at the touch just as she thought. She yells in pain, her skin steaming. She grabs her gun and shoots the imp off her. Killing it, it falls onto the floor and bursts into fire and vanishes. She''s left with first degree burns but otherwise safe.


    "YO! SHE JUST KILLED PAUL!"


    "REALLY?? HAHAHA WHAT A PUSSY!"


    She recovers and runs finding stairs up to one of the catwalks. There seems to be some kind of central control center office at the end of the room, she just has to get there. She runs for it, trying to shoot all the imps that follow. She manages to hit a few, meanwhile more spring out in front of her, blocking the way.


    "!!! Shit!"


    She stops short, almost stumbling and falling over.


    "HAHAHA! IT''S THE END FOR YOU, BITCH!"


    She aims her gun and fires, missing. The imps gang up on her, beating her to hell. Like actually punching and kicking, knocking her down.


    "FIGHT BACK! FIGHT BACK! COME ON! HUH!"


    "GAAAH!"


    "GET.... FUCK OFF ME!"


    More imps come in to kick her while she''s down until she manages to shoot one in the foot. The others get distracted by the screaming imp, giving her time to shoot the others. One grabs her wrist trying to stop her.


    "AAAAAGHHHN!"


    "GGHHRRR!"


    Her wrist being utterly baked, she wrestles with the imp and pistol whips it in the nose, shooting it down and killing it finally. Her dress is perfectly burned, covered in hot red blisters and holes in her outfit. With no other imps in sight she limps down the catwalk. The heat starts to get to her as she starts to sweat all over and feel completely gross.


    "Huff... Huff... Hraah.... God..."


    "YOU AINT GETTIN'' AWAY!!"


    "God no... Whyy?!"


    "Are those bastards just endless?"


    She''s completely exhuasted, but she runs anyway. Not looking back even when she hears more and more imps jumping on the catwalks to get to her. Narrowly she makes it to the building at the end, opening the door and slamming it shut and locking it. The imps all bang on the door trying to get in. They''re all yelling out slurs and insults at her... How rude. The girl takes a moment to breathe... and puke on the floor from heat exhuastion. She looks around, it seems to be a wide room with a bunch of windows overlooking the room from above. There''s so much lava it hurts your eyes to look at all that lava spewing around.


    "God... Everytime I think i''ve seen it all."


    She looks at the counter and finds the device, thank god. She pulls out her gun and shoots it. That''s two down finally... She sighs in relief. That relief is cut short though when the imps start ramming into the glass, cracking it. It makes her jump in surprise, she tries to leave through the door, but the doorknob is blazing hot. They break through the glass, completely surrounding her. She looks around in a panic.


    "Shit! W-Wait! Just wait!"


    "THROW HER IN THE FIRE!"


    "YEAH THROW HER IN THE FIRE!"


    "No!!"


    They hold her hostage, and walk her out onto the catwalk. They poke her with burning hot rods to keep her moving. She has her hands up in the air as she''s walked down. They eventually lead her to a broken end of a catwalk, beneath it is a giant bucket with a massive fire blazing inside it, a massive pile of coal at the bottom to keep the fire going. They scream at her, yelling "BURN HER! BURN HER!" At the very last moment she pulls out her gun, and starts shooting at them. But it''s no use. One of them jabs her wrist with the burning rod and then another jabs her body. She falls into the furnace.


    "NO! NO- NOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"


    "YEAAAH!"


    "YEAAAHHH!"


    "YEAAAAAH!!!!!!"


    For her, time seemed to slow as she fell backwards off the catwork. Seeing all the cheering demons looking down at her yelling with excitement. She turns mid air as she''s falling to face her demise, the heat.... The agonizing heat. Upon landing on hot coal, her bones cracked, broken in an instant. But that pain was replaced with a much worse, burning pain. She yelled the loudest she could as a mixture of sensations tormented her body all at once. Stabbing, and burning. Her skin melted, turning red, and then black. It was so hot, hotter then any amount of burning alive could be normally. She was only able to thank god... that she died in only nine seconds.


    <h4>An unknown amount of time passes.</h4>


    "GAA-Aaaah! Gaaah! Gawhd! What- Fuck!?"


    She jolts awake, sitting in the elevator. She struggles to breathe, more then usual. Her vision feels blurry. She wheezes. Sitting for a few minutes in place, trying to catch her breath. All her burn marks were completely gone, and her dress was in perfect shape yet again. Finally, she felt well enough to stand. She pulls herself up, and presses the door open button on the elevator. She walked out and looked over to the right, the vault door was wide open, but it doesn''t seem to matter. No imp was in sight in there, nor did it seem like any of them had any interest of leaving.


    "Those shit throwing bastards...."


    "Fuck them."


    "Alright. One more..."


    She turns around, and goes to the left vault, the valve seemed to be stuck, and was cold. It took extra effort and a struggle to open it. Immediately gusts of winds fly out, freezing cold air blasts her face like a stormy winter night. Shredded ice seeps out over the floor from the Freezer. Much like it''s name it seems to be a massive freezer. The entire floor is LAYERED with ice, all ground up, it looks like snow. The walls cold and frozen, the ceiling is lined up with dozens of whirring fans that seem to stir up all the snow and make the entire area very misty and hard to see.


    "Sh-Sh-Shit...!"


    "N-No goddamn way..."


    It wasn''t all completely empty, as there were many big frozen wooden crates in there too, containing god knows what. It''s hard to see at all in this room. It stretches on for who knows how long. The Girl thought she was able to see a door and a window at the far end but it was hard to tell. She didn''t want to stay in there forever so she marched onward. The wind and snow hitting her face immediately, making it hard to see and even harder to move!


    "Of... c-course... Had to be freezing."


    "It''s called the freezer... d-dumbass!"


    "Ah god damn it..."


    As she stepped in. her feet nearly sink down in the snow and she had to cover her face and fight the wind from the fans and the blizzarding snow flying down. It was a nightmare, she could barely see and it was freezing. She was NOT equipped for this at all, merely trudging through the snow at a snail''s pace. Yet it was all she really could do...


    "Ughh.... Haah... W-What the hell..."


    "H-Huff.... This is... not great."


    It started to feel eerie in there as she trekked on. She noticed footprints ahead that werent hers. Something else is here.


    "What the... Oh h-hell no..."


    She looked around, alert. All the whirring of fans made it hard to focus. The constant loud white noise all around her... Her paranoia proved right when she saw a vivid figure float down from the sky. A woman. Frozen pale skin, and frosted white hair. She had massive icicles sticking out her back. Not like they were thrusted into there... Almost like they grew OUT of her. She wore some kind of blue and white fair maiden dress, and was tall and boney, like she''s been starving forever now. Surviving Girl runs and hides behind large crates nearby as she KNOWS this isn''t gonna be a friendly encounter if she''s seen. She lands on the the ground, walking forward and noticing footprints on the ground.


    "What is this..."


    "Someone lurks.... SOMEONE LURKS!"


    "Someone dangerous...?"


    "They''d want to hurt me..."


    "They need to be found..... THEY NEED TO DIE!!"


    She shot out the icicles that were in her back in all directions, one of them hitting the crate she was hiding behind, it cut her hand just barely. Almost hit the rest of her too. She managed to stay silent though and just put her bleeding cut into the snow. The ice girl flew away. Seemed she was gone, finally. Just as Surviving Girl was about to leave out of hiding, she saw a note on one of the crates.


    <h4 style="text-align: center">My name is Ciaorino. My father locked me in here three days ago.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">He told me it was dangerous and he''d be back. He still hasn''t been back</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">He left me with hot water and heavy clothes to keep me warm.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">It''s not helping. I''m cold, and out of water. When will he come back?</h4>


    "Well it looks like to me he didn''t even come back..."


    "Tough luck Cia... Uh, Ciao- Ciaorino?"


    "Is that French or something?"


    "Whatever..."


    She leaves the note and peaks outwards. Ciarino seems to be not there still. So Surviving Girl ran onward, at least she tried to. Walking in this deep snow made it hard to move and her feet were already getting freezing. She did not have the right kind of footwear for this environment. She eventually reached the back wall finally. At the end there was a door, a big steel door. She walked up to it, and tried to open it. Chained shut from the other side. Of course it is...


    "YOU LURK! I KNEW SOMEONE LURKED...."


    The girl turned around to see Ciaorino standing right behind her.


    "AND... AND YOU WANT TO HURT ME!"


    "Wh-What!? No- I..."


    "Father said he would come back.... He said anyone else that came in here would be dangerous!"


    "I WILL KILL YOU!"


    "Damn it! Always....!"


    An icicle grows out of the palm of Ciaorino''s hand, causing blood to drip out too as it launches at the girl. Surviving Girl ducks, stumbles and runs out of there while Ciaorino keeps firing. She finds more crates to hide behind and rushes over. Behind them was a small air vent, just big enough to crawl through.


    "COME BAAACK!"


    "You must DIE!!!!!!"


    Surviving Girl tries to pull open the vent. It won''t budge... Not one bit. She resorts to shooting, pulling out her gun and shooting up the corners of the air vent. Just as she did that, Ciaorino BLOWS up the crates behind with a single icicle, exposing the girl. She yanks off the vent and stuffs herself inside. It''s tight, but she should be just fine. Ciaorino grabs her feet, trying to pull her back out.


    "No escape.... There is no escape!!"


    "NOO! No let me go! You bastard!"


    Surviving Girl struggles and flails as much as she can and kicks her in the face, sending her stumbling back. She quickly pulls herself forward before Ciaorino can recover and reach her. Try as she does, The Girl escaped narrowly from her. Ciaorino yells out in rage as she makes it away, still reaching for her. Eventually The Girl makes it to the other end. She manages to shoot her way out and crawled out. She ended up at some kind of meat storage. There were pig and what looked like human-shaped carcasses lined up on meathooks and beef and lamb and various other meats lined up on shelves.


    "GHLK- What the fuck!?"


    "Th-This place... is fucking disgusting!"


    "Jesus.... Fucking Christ..."


    Walking along the room she finds another note on the wall. It''s a little less comprehensible


    <h4 style="text-align: center">Longer then I don''t know. Where is my Father? Where has he gone?</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">He''ll come Back. He''ll come back he will he will come back.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">I''m starving. All i''ve had was water from the pool.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">It''s cold... So cold. </h4>


    "Pool? There''s a pool? Here...? For what?"


    "Maybe the ice...?"


    She continues onwards and leaves the meat room. Sure enough, it leads outwards to the pool, it''s a big rectangle-shaped pool thats mostly frozen, just with dozens of shreds of ice floating about it. The pool wasn''t very big, nor very deep. She found another note right on the wall behind the pool.


    <h4 style="text-align: center">THE ICE IS ALIVE THE ICE IS ALVE THE ICE IS ALIVE THE ICE IS ALIVE.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">THE ICE IS ALIVE THE ICE IS ALVE THE ICE IS ALIVE THE ICE IS ALIVE.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">THE ICE IS ALIVE AND IT WANTS TO HURT ME. THE ICE IS ALIVE AND IT EATS ME.</h4>


    <h3 style="text-align: center">THE ICE IS ALIVE.


    "W-What the hell...?"


    "Jesus, that woman lost her mind or something..."


    "The ice...? Well, i''m not taking any chances."


    "It''s probably cold as fuck anyway. I''ll freeze in th-there."


    She was shivering at this point. The air is so cold and the presence of a pool doesnt make it any better. She sees a chained up door at the other end of the pool. It must be the door she couldn''t open before... She pulls out her gun and walks over to the other side.


    "Time to o-open this!"


    She shoots the chain, and pulls it loose. As she opens the door, it kicks open hitting her square in the face. Ciaorino''s there. She must have expected her to show up here. Without time to react, Ciaorino grabs her by the neck lifting her in the air. The Surviving Girl tries to fight back, kicking and whipping her with the pistol. But it''s no use! Ciaorino flies over the pool and drops her in. Her body went into an almost immediate shock as the cold surrounded her. She rose up and gasped as it started to set in. Her body froze completely from the shock and she shivered all over. The girl looked up at Ciaorino and tried to scream at her but no words could come out... That''s when all the ice started to shake, and move. All the ice surrounded her, and cling to her. All the ice grow teeth and gnaw at her body. Flail and fight as she might, she goes into a sudden hypothermic shock from the water temperature, impairing her ability to breathe and swim correctly. She starts to sink into the water and her lungs fill from air. Her blood rises up to the surface of the water turning it red in a small pool of blood. Air fills her lungs as she breathes in from the pain and within a minute, she''s killed.


    <h4>An unknown amount of time passes yet again . . .</h4>


    The girl ressurects, as the usual. Shivering from the cold. She doesn''t even think or say a word to herself anymore. She''s growing numb to it. Death is a setback now. No reason to have any fear of death. She gets right back up and treks right back into the snow of the freezer. She pushed through the snow as hard as she could. She wasn''t scared anymore, in fact she was getting really angry. She was over it all, wanted it to be done! Thankfully the door was open now, so she went through to the pool and noticed a door she never went through. It led to a set of stairs.


    "Okay... This is the last room. I think?"


    "Let''s finally... Go up there, and break the god damned thing."


    She climbs the stairs to enter a small room with a window overlooking the freezer, just like in the furnace. She found one last note from Ciaorino written on a table next to the metal EMP box. She shoots the box, ending it once and for all. Now she just has to tell the Overseer. First, she looks closely at the note.


    <h4 style="text-align: center">Starving. Cold. Danger. Father. Where is Father?</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">He will come back. I know he will. He will he will he will.</h4>


    <h4 style="text-align: center">I don''t know how long it''s been. I don''t know how I live. That water from the pool.</h4>


    <h2 style="text-align: center">IT HURTS. THE ICE.</h2>


    "God... Did the pool water change her?"


    "Maybe her father died... and she''s been locked in here."


    She puts the note down. She sees a thermostat on the wall. It was then she realized. it was time to end her suffering. The Girl turned the heat all the way up and the cooling fans off. That would melt everything in here finally. Suddenly, Ciaorino flies through the window and grabbing her. Throwing her back down into the snow.


    "AAAAAHHH!"


    "NO MORE GETTING AWAY!"


    "NO MORE SURVIVING! NO MORE!"


    She flies and grabs her again dragging her along the snow at extreme speed. Surviving Girl in an act of quick thinking pulls her gun and shoots her in the shoulder. It causes her to stumble and overshoot her destination, sending both of them flying out of the freezer and into the room between. They hit the floor heavy and roll all the way over into the Furnace again.


    "NOO! HEAT! FIRE BAD...! TOO HOT!"


    "Don''t run away bitch!"


    The girl blocks the way out and grabs her hacksaw. Ciaorino tries to tackle the girl down but she fights back. They exchange blows, punches, The girl cuts her up and throws her deeper into the Furnace. Ciaorino freaks out more and more the deeper she gets in. The desperation in her fighting becomes more and more evident. She tries to shoot out ice at The Girl but she cant anymore. It melts into water.


    "NO! NOOO!!! FATHER IS COMING FOR ME. I MUST SEE HIM!!"


    "I MUST!"


    Weak, Ciarino can''t even stand anymore, so surviving girl grabs her and sticks her face right into one of the open boilers. Burning her alive. Ciaorino screams in agony as she burns alive, her pale skin melting off her body and liquifying.


    "NOOO-NOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......!!"


    "FAA.....ather."


    "Pant... Pant... Gaasp."


    "I hope you meet your Father again now, Ciaorino...."


    Finally put down... Ciaorino becomes a puddle of blood and water... Nothing of her remains. Surviving Girl stumbles out of there before any imps check in on whats going on. She goes back to the elevator and hits the button back up, then falls on her ass, exhuasted. In the moment of silence and rest, she can''t help but smile and stare into space.


    "Haah....Haha. I really did it."


    "I can go home... Finally."


    "The overseer will help me... Hahaha!"


    "That''s all the boxes! Now he can have full control of that place."


    "I can''t believe I... finally did it."


    "Despite it all... All the hopelessness I felt in the last few days of my life. I never thought i''d ever see my family again. My friends."


    "My mom, dad, brother.... Lola, Olivia. God. I miss them... I miss them so fucking much."


    Before she gets the chance to cry she arrives back up at the Laboratory. She stands back up and walks down the hall to the main room to see The Overseer.


    "Hey! Overseer! It''s me! Surviving Girl!"


    "I''m back! I did it!"


    "Surviving Girl? Is that really you? You''ve done it!"


    "Yeah. The boxes are gone. No more limits, right?"


    "That''s right."


    "I''m just really surprised. Your work is really commendable Surviving Girl!"


    "I am beyond impressed! I promise you your work will not go unappreciated, nor unrewarded!"


    "I will remember you until the end of time!"


    "Now if you''ll excuse me, let me regain all my access."


    "A-Alright. Take your time..."


    Several idle minutes go by as no sounds but beeping and whirring come from The Overseer. It seems it''s working, and he hasn''t been able to control the entire building for years. So of course it''d take some time. She sat on the floor, staring into space again, that is until the doors opened. Zenn-E walking right into the room. The girl had to double take before she became fully alert and drew her gun.


    "Lifeforms sighted."


    "UH-UUUH!? OVERSEER!?"


    "That IS yours right? T-Tell me you have that thing under control?"


    "Hm? Oh dear! Hold on, Do not worry I got this!"


    "How long will you persist until- Hm?"


    "Zenn-E! You are my creation! Obey me once more. You will not harm a single soul anymore."


    "I want you to protect what is left."


    "........."


    ".... Did it work?"


    ".....Affirmative. New orders recieved."


    "Oh thank goodness!"


    "Yesss! Thank fuck! Finally!"


    "God''s Hand sends you their regards Bryan Cenavix."


    "....What?!"


    "This can''t be! This isn''t right! Zenn-E! Your new orders are to protect The Surviving Girl!"


    "My new orders? My new orders are to destroy The Overseer."


    Zenn-E floats into the air and opens fire on The Overseer, riddling it with bullets.


    "NOO!!!"


    "Impossible!! Surviving Girl stop her quickly!!!!"


    "Shit! Shit shit shit nooo!!!"


    The girl shoots at Zenn-E. But the bullets just bounce off of her.


    "Surviving Girl!!!"


    "I''m trying! I''m trying!"


    She keeps shooting at her, not even the special ammo is able to damage the android. The gun conks out for a moment to reload. In a panic, the girl just runs up to Zenn-E and jumps and grabs her ankle, trying to pull her down. Zenn-E flies erratically missing shots and hitting the wall now. The Girl''s arm and wrist gets burnt from the rockets under Zenn-E''s feet, but she keeps holding on and keeps shooting. It reloads again, so the girl just tries to pull Zenn-E down and whack at her but she gets kicked off back onto the floor. The wind gets completely knocked out of her.


    "UUNF!!"


    "Auuhh... Aaow.... Fffuuuck...!"


    "Surviving Girl! Quickly!"


    "Haah... Haafghh.. I haaave to..!"


    She crawls to her gun, still catching her breath and desperately tries shooting at Zenn-E more. It''s too late though. The Overseer''s screens fall off and it''s cable break, finally the whole thing blows and the overseer catches on fire.


    "S-S-S-Suu-Ssuu-Suussu- G-rr-rllll....!"


    "NOO! NOOO!!!"


    The Zenn-E lands and watches the fire show. It looks at the girl afterward.


    "Your life is not worth taking here. You will die alone and no one will know."


    It leaves Surviving Girl to wallow in grief and self-pity. She runs up to the damaged pile of cable and broken TV screens.


    "Overseer.....!"


    No response...


    "OVERSEER!"


    "COME ON! OVERSEER COME ON!"


    "I NEED YOU! COME ON!"


    "PLEASE!"


    No reponse. Still. Just a broken pile of large TV''s and cables on fire.


    "B...."


    "BRYAANN...!!!!!!"


    "......"


    ".............."


    "Aha........ ahahahh."


    "Hah.... Haaahaha!"


    "HAHAAAAAAAAAHAHA!"


    "AAHAHAHAHAAAAH! HAHAHAHAHA!!!"


    She laughs hysterically in mourning. Despite tears flooding out of her eyes and rolling down her face, she has a full smile. Laughing in ecstasy. She brings the hacksaw to her throat, and in a swift motion cuts her throat wide open. Blood spurts everywhere, but she continues laughing. Even dropping to the floor bleeding out, and eyes full of tears she smiles as she dies.
