The 18th Floor
I could feel a painful thumping burning in my mind. Was sure as one hell of a headache, considering I just got thrown into the ground. My eyes opened up.... and as I sat up a burning pain surged through my arm and then to my body as I gasp out a pained breath.
Looking at my right arm, I saw nothing wrong with it. I then looked to my left arm and the first thought that crossed my mind was, holy shit. A gash was visible through the left sleeve of my hoodie, fresh blood coating the black fabric. My hand frantically grabbed the sleeve as I pulled it up. The cut was brutal, tearing open my skin around the area and causing the flesh underneath to be visible.
My right hand grasped my pouch as I slung it off my shoulder. I placed it on the ground. My index finger and my thumb take a hold of the zipper as I opened the bag. I reached my hand in and took out some bandages and a syringe of morphine. On the table next to me was a pair of stitches and some antiseptics.
Getting up, I grabbed the morphine and bandage and put them both next to the stitches and antiseptics.
I started to apply the antiseptics, grabbing a wool pad near it, and then dipping the wool pad in the antiseptics. I started to apply it to my cut, a painful burning feeling coming as I gasp out in pain once again. I continued to apply it, as the burning pain starts to become unbearable. My breathing quickened, thanks to the pain as I finish applying the antiseptics.
Grabbing the morphine, I dipped the nip of the needle into the antiseptics to clean off any bacteria on it. After that, I stabbed it into my arm. The pain of the needle tip going into my flesh did not last for long as my arm numbs.
Grabbing the stitches, I put the needle at the skin at the start of the wound. The pain numbed, thanks to the morphine. My breathing quickened as I put the stitches through the flesh of wound. I began a pattern, in and out, in and out, the needles going into the flesh as it is pulled to the other side of the wound, where I put the needle through that side.
After what felt like forever, I reached the end of the wound as I finish up with the stitches, my face soaked with sweat and my heart beating fast.
Grabbing the bandage, I applied some of the antiseptics on the bandage as I wrapped it around the wound. As I slumped down to the ground, grabbing my sleeve, I pulled it back down as I rest my head against the wall.
After what felt like another hour I finally got up and grabbed my fire axe, wondering how I got the cut. I look up and I saw a piece of wood or metal sticking out from the hole, blood dripping off of it, and the hole was covered by an assortment of crates and metal selves.
Walking over to the door, I nervously and cautiously opened the door. As it made a creaking sound, looking down the hallway, I see plenty of blood, but no bodies for some reason, some working lights and.....
A body.
“So much for my previous assumption," I thought to my self.
I slowly and steadily walked across the hall way. As I approached the body of the dead horse creature (and also noting that it is one of the wingless and hornless ones), a gurgling sound emits from it. It slowly began to rise up, weakly getting on its hooves. It turned it's head and look at me square in the eye.
A cracking sound came from its mouth as its cheeks begin to bleed and peel off. A mandible begins to grow out of it's mouth as the sounds of bones cracking became louder. It began to grow a second one as its cheeks suddenly burst open, blood splattering all over as more, even louder cracking sounds began. Suddenly, bee like wings burst out of it's back. Its head turned to me and I could see its insect like eyes.
It began to flutter its wings as it hovered above the ground. It dashed towards me, snapping it's mandibles at me as I moved out of the way in a hurry. My left hand grabbed the handle of the fire axe as I lifted it in the air and swung it down on the creatures neck. The axe cut straight through its neck as it dropped to the ground. Disgusting yellow blood began to pour out the stump of it's neck as its wings and hooves twitched for a bit before stopping.
I shivered at the disturbing monster before the expected vomiting began as I well, vomited on the floor.
Big surprise, isn't it?
Looking away from the abomination, I decided to come up with a nick name for it. "Hornets", just in case there's more of them.
Heading through the hallway, I noticed that the floor looked more like a mental institution then a hospital. As in, most of the doors were metal, each door had a small barred window on the top and there was wheel chairs. Right in front of me was another wheel chair, but it had some sort of figure flickering on it.
Walking to it was pretty dumb on my part, but I did it any way.
My sight was blinded by complete white and I could see a vision of one of the hornless-wingless horses, with a violet color. It in a wheel chair and it was in complete terror, backing away from a white Pegasus, who looked like a doctor, and it had a face filled with complete malice and insanity.
The horse on the wheel chair screamed in a female voice.
GET AWAY FROM ME, BACK OFF!
The crazed doctor pegasus knocked her off her wheel chair and pounced on her.
OH CELESTIA, PLEASE NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOO!
The vision ended right there... but the whole hallway was now much more different. All the doors were open and some were even thrown off the ground. Each room was now visible. They were all padded and some were even covered in blood.
But on the floor in front of me, was something I was not even expecting. A lever action rifle. Looks like a Winchester lever action, too.
I placed my fire axe to the wall and grabbed the gun. I pulled back the lever to check for any ammo in it. I've used a gun at a firing range every once in a while, so I knew how to use guns a fair bit and a lever action firearm is one of them. The gun was fully loaded... then I heard an insane fit of male laughter coming from behind me.
Turning around, in the hallway, is the same doctor from the flashback. But his wing had been broken off, leaving bloody stumps instead. His face was blood soaked and he had a fucked up grin with rows of viable sharp teeth. What looked like claws had replaced his hooves and his skin was pale and cover in extra layers of flesh and fur, making him very bulky and quite large.
He then let out a blood curdling roar.
Aiming down the sight on the lever action rifle, I pulled down the trigger as the beast charged at me. a loud bang emitted through out the hall way as the bullet pierced his body. Surprisingly, it seemed to do very little as I fired tow more times. It attempted to ram me as I dodged out of the way.
Getting back up, I fired at him in the back two times, precisely where the spine was. As he letted out a roar of pain, I pressing the trigger again.
I heard a clicking sound.
Throwing away the rifle, I dodged the creature again as it rammed into the wall behind me. Running up to it, I slammed my fire axe into its back. I took the axe out and slam it back down again. And again. And again. I did it over and over until it stopped moving
Backing up from it, I got over to grab the rifle. But just as I grabbed it, I felt a pounding feeling in my head and all of a sudden I am at a door, my hand opening the door.
Looking behind me.... all I see is a goddamn massacre. behind me was what seemed like an endless collection of dead Hornets and Crawlers. They were sliced up and torn to bits. Looking down at my self, I see my hoodie soaked in blood, my fire axe was covered in blood too..... and the lever action rifle from before was gone, like I never had it before.
I opened the door and walked past it.... before I slammed the door right in and walked down the stairs, ignoring the obviously barricaded upstairs. All the while I was constantly mumbling something along the lines of "Nope".
