"Ah there you are our newest member!" You smile as you were handed your badge and a white labcoat with your name on it.

"For your first job I just need you to do some filing for me tonight are you good with that?"

"Yeah, I'm free." You say before taking a quick breath from your inhaler. You watched l your boss walk off with his short, ginger friend, and you went on your way writing down more reports from the different subjects. Working at this huge facility wasn't your first choice but it paid well and you didn't have to do much. The job description included filing, writing down records and reports, and assistance with experiments, nothing dangerous. Or so you thought.

Your boss returned to your office later with a tall stack of papers.

"I need these done by tomorrow if you could. Type them up and turn them back into me. There should be folders called High Security Reports, Low Security Reports and Normal Security Reports"
You glance at the clock: 3:30pm, you could get it done easily by tonight and you got to typing. But the paperwork took longer than expected as you work late into the night. By now everyone except maybe the janitors and the scientists who lived here had gone. You glance back up at the clock again: 12:45am.

"Damn, I'm never going to get this done in time. Work hours start at 4:00am." You say brushing your fingers through your hair.

"Would you like some help?" You jumped at the sound of the voice behind you. You turn around slowly. A man was standing the in a dirty labcoat with his goggles pulled down.

"Y-yeah sure. W-who are you?" You stuttered

"I'm Doctor Lalnable Hector. I'm from the high security ward." He smiles. He helps you to your feet and sits down in your place. He began typing at the speed of light, faster than you ever could. He went through the last of the papers in less than 15 minutes. He stood up and cracked his fingers.

"T-thank you so much!"  

"Ah no problem! Hey, wanna get something to eat? I'm starving" And just as he says that you could faintly hear his stomach growl.

"Yogdonalds is in the other dimension, I could cook something there if you'd like" you reply.

"I'd love that." He says, smiling. There was something off about him that you couldn't understand. It's like you knew him and yet you couldn't remember him at all. You remember that name from somewhere...Lalnable Hector...did you type up his reports? Did he ask for assistance? It just stood on the tip of your tongue.  He starts up a conversation again as you near the dimensional portal room ahead.

"Are you a live in scientist?" He asks.

"No I had to stay late to file some papers for the boss."

"Ah Xephos, piling so much work on a newbie."

"How did you know I was new?"

"I would have seen you around if you had been here a while. And your labcoat isn't dirty or stained like the others. Which leaves me to think you started today, or yesterday for that matter." You gawked at him as you walk, amazed by his deduction skills. He opens the door to the portal room and lets you go in first. You both stepped though the purple portal. You took the short walk down the hall and into the small restaurant. You hop over the counter and into the cooking area.

"Do you like your burgers cooked a certain way?" You say as you open a package of fresh meat.

"Rare please." He replies as he turns on the stoves and deep fryers.

"Ok..." you feel uneasy about the scientist.

"I'll-" you stop and scramble for your inhaler. You pull it out of your pocket and take in a deep breath.

"Sorry I have bad asthma. And attacks come often."

"Ah...I'm sorry." He says patting you on the back. You smile and put the meat on the grill. You cook yours thuroughly, but leave his on for only a couple of minutes. You come out with them on tray. He sits at a nearby table with a bunch of french fries on another tray. You set the tray down and he takes off his gloves, revealing his sharp nails, and scoops some fries onto your tray and then takes his burger and puts it on his. You watch him as he does this, and you notice his creepy smile as he picks up his burger. He takes off his goggles and puts them down on the table, but his eyes remain closed.

"I'm sorry if this freaks you out..." he opens his eyes, illuminating the room in a light gold color. You stared at the room around you and watched the gold lighting disappear and reappear when he blinked. You smiled, mesmerized by the scene. You turned back around to eat but were, instead, horrified by the most disgusting scene you'd ever seen. Lalnable bit down hard into his burger, blood oozed from the meat and some splattered onto his face. He turned his head to the side, ripping off the chucks of fat, before slurping it all down. You gag at the sight and cover your mouth.

"Cooked meat isn't as good as fresh or raw meat." He says smiling and eyeing you at the same time.

"He greedily eats the rest of his burger and licks off the blood from his gloves. You sit there, completely disgusted and shaken by the sight. You push your tray away and sit the covering your mouth.

"What's wrong?" Lalnable asks as he chomps on the rest of the fries. You shake your head.

"Hey newbie?" You look up at him.

"Wanna see the high security ward? There are lots of freaks to see, it’s like going through a haunted house or zoo."

"S-sure..." You stand up. Something is definitely wrong here you can remember his name. Dozens and dozens of file names pass through your head and yet nothing comes to mind. You take another breath from your inhaler and follow Lalnable down the hall. You guys go back through the portal and into the normal dimension. You then near another rather large door at the end of a long corridor. There are red lights flashing from the inside and a couple of the testificate scientists running around. Lalnable peers through the window. You can see him lick his lips and hear his stomach growl.

"Please stay out here a minute." Lalnable says as he enters. There are a few panicked screams from the inside.


"S-s-should I help?" And then it hits you.

"Dr. Lalnable Hector former rogue scientist. Cloning experiment gone wrong. Hasn't been fed in months, and killed the last scientist that went in to check on him." You run through the two heavy doors. Lalnable in on top of someone, they are praying for their life and for mercy. But he ignores the pleas as stabs them repeatedly in their head until their struggles stop, and then bites down hard into the person's neck. You gasp at the amount of bodies that surround him. He turns and looks at you with a smug, bloodied, smile on his face.

"Oh I wish you hadn't seen that." You scream. Your body is frozen and all you can do is yell as he stands up and walks toward you. You choke on your own screams as he stands right in front of you. He reaches into your lab coat pocket and pulls out your inhaler. He holds it up to your mouth and presses the button down so you can breathe.
You take in a deep shaky breath and he removes the inhaler from your mouth.

"But hunting you down will be fun." He says, putting the inhaler in his pocket. You go to say something. But he stops you and whispers one thing.

"Go." He shoves you away. You stutter and look back at him. He glares at you with hungry eyes, and just that is enough to scare you off. You slam the doors shut behind you and deadlock them on your way out. You make a run for your office. You step inside and lock the door. You open your draws and dig through them quickly, looking for your extra inhaler. You rip out the drawers and throw them on the floor and instead file through the papers on your desk to try to find information on your pursuer.

"Lalnable...Lalnable...Lalnable... you repeat over and over again." You find only a yellow folder filled with papers with his name on it, before you hear him knocking on the deadlocked door. You hurry to the door with the folder in hand but stop when you hear a knock at the door. You can hear him chuckling from the other side.

"Hiding in your office wasn't such a good idea now was it?" Your hands begin to tremble.
“No, no… I can’t I have to go home tomorrow. My family is waiting for me please!” You scream as you try to hide the worry and angst in your voice. He chuckles darkly from the other side.

“You know that burger didn’t really fill me up. And I’m sick of testificate blood, and I’ve never hand regular human blood. I’ve only had a taste of Xephos and plenty of testificates to go around.” You whimper at the thought.

“Oh Notch help me.” You whisper. You here the door creek and when you peek over you can see a dent in the shape of a fist in the wall. Your heart starts to race faster and faster. He punches the door again and you search around the room. He finally breaks through, with his fist and begins to peel the metal door back.

“Why me, oh Notch why me.” You wail. He makes a hole big enough for himself to get through.

“Don’t worry this won’t be painless.” He squeezes through and approaches you. You start to breathe heavily and lose your breath. You reach for your inhaler but remember that Lanable had taken it. You try to shake him off of you as he grabs your arm. You reach for the whole in the door in a futile attempt to escape.

“Please…” You wheeze. Her pulls your head back by your hair. Tears slowly run down your face as you try to push him away. You try to scream and quick, but there is no air in your lungs to keep you going. You start to gasp for air as you slowly suffocate. This is your fate to choke to death or be killed by a crazed cannibal. You grip onto the broken pieces of the door with a weak grip.

“It was great to have you for dinner.” He whispers and then be bites down hard into your neck. You watch him rip out a chunk of flesh and veins out. Blood sprays all over the place and he licks it off of his face, enjoying its sweet coppery taste. You taste it too, bubbling up your throat. You can barely feel anything now as you begin to slip away. A bright light suddenly flips on. There is some shouting and Lalnable moves away from your body with a worried expression on his face. You see your boss step over you, followed by a couple of other guards. Your boss leans down towards you and that’s the end. You are swept into darkness as the world fades away.
It's not really scary. Just a short story to celebrate Halloween c: :D home you like it

enjoy~
