Don't be Afraid of the Dark

I followed the scream down the hallway to a room numbered "#148," but once I was right outside the room, the screaming of pain and agony had stopped. I heard running down the way I came from. I panicked thinking it was one of the tortured souls in this hell hole of a mental institution. I turned and saw a desk next to another room, so I hid under it. Thankfully there were a couple of holes in the piece of wood in front of me.

I peeked through, and saw the same doctor that had me stay in the room from before. My panic was relieved, and I got out from under the desk to greet him. He must have saw me getting out from under there, and turned right to me.

"What are YOU doing here?! I told you to wait in the reception room!" He said, clearly sounding annoyed. We heard the scream coming from the room I was heading to, we both looked at the door, and he turned to me. "I am sorry, but you must leave," he told me.

"Might I ask why? I came here to investigate the operations of this facility, and mysterious goings-on, so why must I leave?" I asked him trying to reason with him.

"Please you must leave we have this under control, we will calm this patient down, but please leave," He said while pointing down the hall to the front door.

I obeyed and left the asylum. I looked back to this strange building, the night sky making it pop as if it wants attention. I remembered where room #148 was located, and managed to snatch a map of the asylum, and turned around towards the asylum once again. I went around the back and looked around to find a way in. No backdoor, no balcony, nothing. All I saw was a pipe going up the side of the building, right next to an open window on the third floor.

"Aha!" I laughed in triumph, as I headed for the pipe and began to scale it. I climbed to the opened window and crawled my way inside, trying to sneak past anyone I came across. I managed to slip past a couple of guards that were on duty, and I was also able to steal a flashlight. I needed it because most of this asylum wasn't even lighted, and was dark as a deep cave. I took out my map and took a look at it. I saw that there was a vent next to me and if I followed it, it can get me to my destination without problems.

I walked over to the vent and pulled it out from its place without making much noise. I crawled into this little space. I took another look at the map, and followed a certain ventilation system towards the first floor. I banged my head against the ceiling of the vent, and thankfully no a soul heard it. I was on top of room #150 when I heard it. Someone singing a little song to themselves. At first he was mumbling, but he started to twiddle his fingers and I was able to make out the lyrics of his little song.

Blood and Bones,

Blood and Bones,

I like to see blood and bones,

Blood and Bones,

Blood and Bones,

Let me see you blood and bones,

Blood and Bones,

Blood and Bones,

Let me eat your blood and bones.

He stopped and started to sniff the air, then gave a little grin. He continued his song ...

Blood and Bones,

Blood and Bones,

He stopped again looking up towards the vent,

Let me rip out your blood and bones!

He yelled finishing his song and tearing open the vent and pulling me down.

"Ah!" I yelled, hitting the cold hard cement ground. I looked up at him in terror. "What are you doing?!" I asked him as he picked me up form the ground.

"Did you like my little song? Wrote it myself. If you didn't know, I like blood and bones. I like the sight of those white bones soaked in blood, it makes me feel rushed. I enjoy the sight so much! I haven't seen blood and bones in years!" He said while raising his hand. I saw claws, claws sharp enough to rip through flesh with ease. His left eye twitching with insanity. He was wearing a jacket with jeans. It seems the doctors let them wear regular clothes so the patients don't feel completely insane I'm guessing. I looked at his expression, it was one of joy, but regret. Was he going to kill me? Then, he swings his arm towards me, and pats me on the head. This confused me until he opened his mouth again. "And you're going to help me see them, and burn this place to the ground. Let me out of this room, and I'll leave you alone. Leave me, and next time they let me out I'll hunt you down!"

He put me down, and pointed to the vent, then looked at me. I don't what it was, the threat or something inside me, but my mind was set on letting him out. It seemed right for some reason. I climbed through the vent and looked at him. He nodded at me and I nodded back. He gave a smile a child would when they would get a giant plushie. I kicked the vent next to the room door open and crawled out. I saw the door knob and saw that it seems they are looked from the outside with a iron slide. I slid the door open, and let him out. He walked out and smiled at me. He patted my head and ran off opening all the other doors, and yelling something I can barely make out.

"Watch out for the robotics engineer! He isn't human! He's also the assistant warden!" He yelled back. I heard someone over the intercom with a robotic voice.

"Patient #150 has escaped and has released the other patients! Closest staff report to hallway #10 and capture him and the others! I am on my way to assist in the capture as well!"

I heard running down the hall and found somewhere to hide. The guards ran past me "Quickly we have to capture them before Hektor arrives! Go! Go! Go!" He said while guiding everyone down the other way of the hall. I decided to follow them to see if I can get some footage on their harshness.

A secret doorway opened near the cafeteria, and out came some white smoke. I saw someone walking out of it. He looked half robotic, and half human. He carried a staff with a blue jewel at the tip. Out came some robotic peacemakers, robots with the power of a techno core, as well. He walked down the hall way with the peacemakers.

"Looks like we have another participant for the glorious evolution! Haha!" He laughed, with his dark brown cape swaying. He looked back all of a sudden. His robotic eye went from a blue glow to a red one. "Scan failed ... intruder inbound ..." He said while pointing to the peacemakers to continue down the hall. He walked down towards me. He acted like he didn't know where I was.

I began to breath heavily as he got closer.

"Join me intruder. I am giving you a gift for succeeding in infiltrating this facility. Replace all your petty emotions, and join the the revolution! A glorious EVOLUTION!" He yelled while walking towards me even more, the sound of creaking metal and steel echoed in the hall. He raised his staff and pointed it at me. I looked at his pin and saw the name ...

"Hektor"
