Survivors

I took a deep breath. The corridor doesn't seemed to end. There were doors here too. Probably more door then the other hall but these doors were fully opened, like someone was looking for people in them like me. But i didn't get my hopes up. I opened the first door and there was no one in it. The joy of knowing someone survived this hell was overwhelming. I continue opening more doors and i found bodies in some rooms, but most of them were empty. I find it strange, they had venomous insects but there were no holes for any snake on the walls.

As i move forward in this corridor i started hearing voices. It was a girl voice:

Girl: Who goes their? Show yourself. Why have you brought us here?

I thought for a bit and said.

Vin: Us you say. So does that mean there're more people with you.

Girl seemed scared. You could feel it in her voice: Answer the question?

Vin calmly: I didn't brought you here i came from one of the rooms myself.

Vin suddenly felt someone running towards him. It was a shadow.

Vin yelled: I'm no enemy.

The shadow pinned Vin against the wall. Although Vin tried to resist but it was of no use. The shadow was way too strong.

Girl, this time with a confident voice: Who are you?

Vin: I'm Vin.

I paused and continued with.

Vin Novil (Claires Surname).

Girl: You said you came from one of these rooms.

Vin: Yes i did.

Girl: We checked and these rooms were filled with dead bodies, and the ones that weren't are already out.

Vin: I came from behind the curtain.

Girl: Ow!

She took her time responding and then said:

"Leave him. He one of us".

She said that to the shadow.

Vin fell to the ground. Although he could see in the dark pretty well, he wasn't able to see the shadow. After thinking of it for some time he came to 2 conclusion,

First one being that the shadow skin color must be very dark.

And if it wasn't that then the shadow must be extremely fast.

Girl: I'm Flair, just Flair and this is Teros. He can't speak but he pretty strong.

Vin catching his breath: That's a way to introduce yourself. Cough! cough!.

Flair: So you came from the lower levels huh!

We checked the first 30 rooms and found everyone dead so we assume that no one survived and stopped searching. Guess we were wrong. I mean unlike the other halls we didn't checked the lower level so thoroughly. Anyway walk with me to the upper levels. I will show you the camp.

Vin hesitantly: Fine but are there any more survivors.

Flair: Well there are a lot of survivors, some injured but they are being treated.

Vin surprised: Treated by whom.

Flair: So many questions, you would meat her when we get their.

We started walking, Teros was walking behind us. We walk through 5 curtains and everytime i passed through one of them the corridor grew wider and wider until we reach the center. The corridors progressively started having more and more rooms and as we reached the center there were less and less dead kids found in these room. It started getting less and less dark as we reached the center. I noticed that there were also less dangerous things in the higher levels compared to the lower levels. The center was huge and you could see properly in it, i can say that it was as big as 10 football stadiums combined . It had so many childrens in it. I didn't imagine so many would have survived when i started opening the doors. I looked up and their was a hole from which light was coming in. It seemed like the entrance but it was so high that it would need 1000 of people stacked up on eachother to reach the top. I finally understand where i was. I was inside a cave and the entrance to these damed halls seemed to start from the center. Fortunately there were no bats down here. I hate bats.

Vin getting start to the point: How many children are here.

Flair: About 765 childrens survived the rest are dead.

The first corridor had 50 rooms and 1 survived. The second had 100 rooms and 17 survived. The third had 200 rooms and 78 sruvived. The forth had 400 rooms and 189 survived and the fifth had 800 rooms and 480 survived. There were a total of 1550 rooms and 765 survived. 500 of these childrens were boys and the rest 275 girls.

I take a look at Teros. He was a white kid with a shaved head. Brown eyes and black lips. He had a smooth skin and had a great physique. He was wearing robes with holes.

Flaire was also wearing robes with holes. She wasn't that pretty but she wasn't that ugly either, she was very skinny too. It wad as if she hadn't eaten in years. She had brown eyes and pink but dry lips. Her skin color was black. She had curly hairs but they were very short.

In a distance i could see a girl treating others, she seemed busy so i decided to go see her later.

Flair: Sooooo! this is it.

After a pause she added

"Right now we are living here but we are trying to find a way to get out of there".

Vin: I'm don't want to lower your hopes but this cave stops here and if you decide to go to the lowest level the only thing you would find there would be a wall. The only entrance and exit to this cave is that hole in the sky.

She looked at me without saying anything and then responded with: "no their has to be another way, their has to be, i had to get out. We can can't we. We have to"

It seemed like she was having an anxiety attack. Teros put his hand on her shoulder and calmed her down.

It weirded me out but she was right o she could be. Their has to be a way. But getting out was my second priority. Before that i needed to find my two other cousins who were here if they had survived. The only thing i knew about them was that both of them were boys and must have a insignia made of metal with them.
