Jon's POV
      We walked down one of the long hallways, near silent. We were looking for a good area that might be of use to us, like a security room or something. Everyone was dead silent, the only noises being our breathing, and footsteps. We were all listening for creatures, knowing that there were many around. We had already encountered a few in this hallway, and after what happened to Uni, we weren't taking any chances. I shuddered as I thought of Uni. Out of all the people in this group, Uni definintly deserved what happened to him the least.

       "There's some up ahead." Cory warned. "Thanks." Ashlie murmured. I looked at Cory, I saw that his fists were tightly clenched, his knuckles white around the knife that he held tightly. His body trembled ever-so-slightly, as if he was trying to contain something. I looked at him worriedly, "Cory, are you-" I whispered, but he cut me off, "I'm fine, Jon." He hissed harshly, but his tense body language shown otherwise. I sighed, "Alright..." I mumbled, my throat feeling scratchy. I coughed a little bit, then I heard the screech of a creature. I shook my head slightly, pulling out my weapon.

      In the dim light ahead, I could just make out a small hoard of creatures coming towards us. I held the handle of my weapon tightly, as did the others. I glanced at Cory, and I saw a sick smile on his face, and there was a look in his eye that made me shiver. Then Cory started giggling, and he ran forward. "Cory, wait! Don't rush in alone!" Ashlie cried, but Cory ignored her. "Let's go help him..." Nick sighed, running forward. We all glanced at each other, then followed.

      Cory was slashing the creatures apart, smiling as blood splattered his face and clothes. He slashed one's head off, a sick smile on his face, one that made me step back. The others seemed to realize aswell, watching Cory dismember the people sadistically. "Guys, back up..." Tommy whispered, and we followed his orders. Every once in a while, Cory would start laughing as he attacked the creatures. "After all you've put me through...You deserve death! Burn you vicious monsters!" He'd say between psychopathic laughter. Then, when the last creature stood, Cory stood across from it. "You've had this coming..." He whispered, stabbing the creature in the chest, and dragging the knife down it's abdomen, cutting it open.

     Blood poured out of the creature like a sink, and I flinched as it let out a screech that almost sounded human. The creature fell to the ground with a thump, leaving Cory turned away from us. His back was slightly bent as he started giggling, his body shaking, then, he started full on laughing. It was a scary, dangerous, shaky, psychotic, sadist laugh. "Cory...?" Nick questioned, then Cory whipped around, facing us. He was covered in blood, and was smiling sickly, laughing. His pupil was also dialated, and insanity sparked in his usually rough, yet calm gaze.

    "Carl, you need to calm down..." Tommy said, his hands outstretched in a gesture of peace. "And why would I do that?" He questioned challengingly. "Because we're your friends dude, you wouldn't kill us, would you..?" Tommy continued. It was Cory's answer to that question that made me realize how dangerous this situation actually was. "What would I need friends for!?" He exclaimed, brandishing his knife. "These temptations are just to sweet to resist." He purred, getting back into a defensive posture. "Cory, stop. This isn't you, and we know it. You know it..." Nick began.

      Cory's sharp gaze snapped to Nick, "Oh really?" He questioned. "Yes, Cory. And you'll regret it if you kill us. So fight the murderous temptations!" Nick snapped. Cory's eye widened, and he stumbled back, gripping his head, "Regret..? I don't regret! I regret nothing! Nothing! Never....I-I..." He stuttered, his eye wide. "C-" I began, but I was cut off by my own coughing. I squeezed my eyes closed as I began to violently cough and hack. I tried to take in a breath, but I couldn't.

     I stumbled back, gripping my throat, praying for air. "H...EL...P...." I managed to cough. "Jon!? Are you okay!?" I heard Ashlie call through my coughing. I fell to my knees, hunched over, coughing. My body racked with spasms as I fought for a breath that I couldn't seem to grasp. Then, I felt something that felt like a liquid start to drip down my chin. And finally, with one large cough, something seemed to unlodge from my throat, allowing me to take a breath. I gasped for air, tears streaming down my face. I could hear commotion around me, but I couldn't hear anything clearly. I slowly opened my eyes, and through unfocused, blurry vision, I could make out a familiar crimson color on the floor. I tasted a metallic taste in my mouth aswell. Then, my eyes started to close, and I felt my consciousness slip away.

                        Dr.Ross's POV
      I walked quickly around my lab, taking notes, marking chemicals, and checking up on my newest formulas. I walked over to a small breaker, which held a new formula that I had created. I called it 'Formula X', and if it worked, then my plan would fall perfectly together. And if it didn't then I would just have to find another way. I cast a glance towards my test subject, who was chained against the wall on the other side of the room.

      He groaned, and growled, and squirmed. I rolled my eyes, "Such a mindless animal." I growled, grabbing a syringe, and filling it with my new Formula X. I looked at it, smiling, then I turned around, walking over to the test subject. His blue hair covered one of his eyes, as he paused, looking at me. "This may hurt a bit." I said, sticking the creature in the arm, and injecting the formula into him. I stood up, stepping back a bit. I watched as he began squirming and whimpering in pain. He let put a pitiful screech of agony, before falling motionlessly limp. I stared at him for a moment, "I suppose now we play the waiting game." I shrugged, turning away from him, and walking deeper into the lab. I smirked, my plan was going well, now it was only up to Formula X to make my plan truly perfect...
