Wish ~ Dietrich

Dietrich strode down the hallway, he held a clipboard close to his chest. The hallways were empty, all of the scientists were busy with other experiments, it was the way things worked here at Wish. Although some of the subjects had gone haywire and killed most of the staff, it was unnerving that was for sure, being in the same building as these creatures, not to mention when they had to go near them. Sure the glass says it's indestructible, but you can't help but stand a few feet away. Today though, someone else, a new scientist was to join. God bless their soul. Dietrich neared the end of the corridor and turned right into a sort of reception area, where there was one man sitting down on one of the chairs. They never actually used this room, so the desk was always clear from a person running it. The only time it was used was for new people, they would be told to sit there until someone arrived to show them around. Dietrich had strict instructions to lead the new scientist to lab 3, who knows why, perhaps he was going to meet the man in charge. Mr S as everyone called him, no one knew his first or last name and most people haven't actually seen him here. A mysterious figure which governs Wish from the shadows.

Dietrich looked down at the clipboard in his hand, it had a name written on it as well as a map and the location 'Lab 3' marked out, in case they thought he would get lost. Though, he had been here for 2 years now, a year after they had started up Wish. "Travis Porter?" Dietrich read out the name on the clipboard, believing it would be the name of their new recruit. He then turned around, not wanting an answer from the new recruit, it could of only been him. "Follow me." he said, walking out of the room and back down the hallway.

As they walked down the halls to lab 3, there was sickening sound of screaming coming from a female scientist, followed by a large thud from something hitting the floor. Dietrich stared at the door for a few seconds, clutching the clipboard tight against his chest. He gulped, wondering what was on the other side of the door, but now wasn't the time to be afraid, not when he had to show the new recruit around. He had to be strong and show him that there is no potential danger here and that it's a safe place. Which was the biggest lie Mr S had ever told them. He slowly turned the handle and opened the door ever so slightly before pushing it more open and walking inside, allowing Travis to follow in. The room was filled with desks, with strange coloured liquids in test tubes and beakers, needles and bandages accompanied them. To the side there were small test tubes full of blood, most likely from the subjects, they lay down on the desk next to a microscope. A chair at the desk, for anyone who would be examining the blood samples. Machines surrounded the room, making constant bleeping sounds, one of them had waves on the screen, something much like a heart monitor would have. To the far end of the lab was a tinted glass window, it allowed anyone from this side of it, to see into the room on the other side. However it didn't allow whatever was on the other side, to see in.

Dietrich ran to the glass window, throwing the clipboard on one of the tables as he ran. A woman had fainted on this side of it, he knelt down, making a fanning motion with his hand in order to wake her up. Eventually she came to and stared up at Dietrich in shock, her eyes as wide as saucers. "What happened?" Dietrich asked her, not taking his eyes off the poor woman's face. "Subject 0013." she muttered under her breath before closing her eyes and her head dropping back down onto the floor. Dietrich looked over at Travis before standing up, he looked out onto the room on the other side of the glass, it was empty, all apart from a scientist's body, bleeding from a wound at the neck. He had stabbed himself with his pen and blown a major artery, causing him to just die. Dietrich looked back to Travis, wondering what to do. It was obvious that subject 0013 was still in there, just hiding and someone had to go and find him. He darted in front of Travis and grabbed his arm, pulling him to the door which lead to the smaller room. He quickly checked him up and down to see if there was anything sharp he held, a pen, that was about it. Dietrich swiped the pen away from him before he could ask any questions, he muttered. "Good luck" and turned to the door, opening it swiftly and pushing Travis inside. He shut it even more swiftly and locked it, leaning against it, panting at the effort he had used to do it with such speed. He then proceeded to watch Travis from the safety of the glass window.

It was at that point when the thing known as subject 0013, emerged from the dead scientist's shadow and crawled along the floor like some sort of animal towards the new scientist. It's tail whipping the air, before curling around the dead scientist's body and throwing it against the glass window. The body smashed upon contact and caused the window to be covered in blood, Dietrich no longer able to see what was going on inside. He bit down on his lip and looked at the pen which he had taken from Travis. "God help you."
