5 years ago

Inside Liam's room

"eii! Happy birthday to me." Liam greeted himself just as he woke up.

Liam jumped out of the bed immediately and put his clothes on himself.He went and opened the door out of his room.

What liam saw is a beautiful middle-aged woman in the living room wearing a pink one-piece dress.

"Happy birthday to my adorable Son." Liam's Mother greeted him with a big smile.

"Thank you Mom but what's with the "adorable" word on your greetings eh?" Liam asked complainingly then he formed a disgusted face to taunt his mom.

"What? don't you like it?" Liam's Mother asked with a puzzled look.

"I'm fifteen now mom. Does it suit for a FIFTEEN years old like me?"

"Okay. My cute little Sweetie."

"Arghh! Who's Mom is this!" Liam shouted jokingly.

He suddenly felt a chill and then he took a glance on his Mother. The expression of his Mother had changed into grim.

"eihaha! It's just a joke Mom! I'm just kidding" Liam said reflexively.

'Does every mother in the world have a dark side in them?'

Just then a footsteps can be heard coming from the staircase.

Liam turned his gaze on the direction of the footstep and saw a good looking middle-age man.

"Happy fifteenth Birthday Liam, my Son!" Liam's father greeted him happily.

"Thanks Dad."

After Liam thanked his Father his head is moving around left and right to find something in their house.

"Uhm. Where is the gifts for me Dad." Liam asked to his father sitting on the chair.

"Eh? Your Mom didn't tell you? We are going out later, Liam. You can buy anything you want outside."

"So I can buy a PC."

"Except for that Liam."

"Lame."

In the afternoon

"Dad! Where did you left you're car keys" Liam shouted to his Father outside the house.

"It's upstairs in our room Liam! Me and your Mother are going in the next street now. We will wait for you there okay?"

"Yes!"

Liam found the the car keys and rushed outside their house.

He looked for his mom and dad but they were nowhere to be seen outside.

"Wait!? Which street did father said it was? Oh man!" He said.

Liam talked to himself wether to go left or right but he decided to text his mother on his phone to asked where are they.

After taking out his phone from his pocket a beautiful crimson red butterfly flew towards him.

He turned his gaze to the butterfly and then he stood up slowly to see it clearly but suddenly...

BANG!!

A loud gunshot will be heard coming from the street next to theirs.

Liam looked at the direction of the gunshot and felt a chill down his spine.

'Why? Why do I sense something bad there.'

Liam immediately ran towards the street where the gunshot is from.

"Hiyaaah!!!"

Liam's running came to a halt as soon as he heard the familliar voice of a woman. He then walked to the direction of the shriek to see what is happening there.

-----

At a narrow alley way

"You bastards! W-What did you do to my husband!" A woman shouted pitifully to the three man wearing a black coat and a black hat.

"Pretty woman. Can't you see that his dead!" The first man said with a loud voice to the woman.

"Hey, leader of the day! Can I play with this beauty?" The second man asked.

"Idiot! Do you know that "twelve" will kill us if we waste more time here!" The leader said angrily. "Come on! take out your knife and use it to her. Your gun is loud as shit. The police will be coming here soon."

"Alright. We will do this the quiet way now Lady. Cover your mouth please." The first man

said to the woman.

"Hiyaaah!!! Noo!!! Help Meeee!! Someone, help me!" The woman screaming for help while tears pour down from both of her eyes.

"Stop screaming! No one will be able to help you, got it!?" The first man said as he grabbed the woman's wrist and covered her mouth with his hand.

The second man take out a combat knife from inside his coat and pointed it at the woman's throat. He moved his hand which is holding the knife onto his back and then began preparing to stabbed the woman. He then moved it forward, aiming for the woman's c.h.e.s.t but suddenly...

"Dad?Mom!? Y-you bastards what did you do to my father!!!" Liam was so angry he shouted after seeing his mother's pitiful state and his father's lifeless body lying down on the floor.

The second man hand came to a halt. He almost stabbed the c.h.e.s.t of the woman in front of him but he was stopped by a random kid's shout.

"Who the f*ck is this little guy?" The first man said to their leader.

"Why did you stop idiot!? Kill her now! Come on." The leader said to the second man with a hurried look on his face.

Before the second man could even stab liam's mother, she barely managed to escape the grasp of the first man.

"L-Liam! Run!! Don't come here! I'm fine! Please... Run!!!" She shouted to Liam with a tears pouring down from his eyes.

Liam hurriedly turned around to run away and call the police but then..

BANG!!!

"You're a one noisy woman" The first man said after he shot liam's mother in the right c.h.e.s.t.

Liam who is preparing to run far away and call the police stopped as soon as he heard the sound of a gunshot.

He instantly stopped and turned around to look what happened behind him.

Liam saw his mother.

His mother is lying down on the floor lifeless sith blood pouring down from her c.h.e.s.t.

His heart stopped for a second after seeing his mother's body on the floor.

As the blood poured down from his mother's c.h.e.s.t, The tears began pouring down on Liam's eyes. He is trembling non-stop, he don't know what to do anymore.

"Hey! You two kill that boy. I think it's a child of this family. And don't you dare use the gun again. I'll report this now." The leader said to the other guys.

"Alright! What a reunion!" The first man speaked out loud, letting Liam hear it.

Liam came back to his senses and started to run. His mind is in chaos right now and he doesn't know what to do.

'M-Mom and Dad was shot. I need to run. Run. F*ck! Mom and Dad I'm sorry! They are coming for me. I will kill those bastards! I will revenge! They will kill me R-Revenge!! Shit!'

Liam keeps running and running.

He didn't know where he is right now but what he know is that the unknown men with a black coat is still following him.

He's in the middle of the street right now. He turned around to look for the two man following him but he can't see them.

He was about to stop there but when he saw the silhouette of a two man holding a knife he began running again.

Liam went through the dark alleyway in the corner of the street and decided to hid there.

He can't feel an eas.e.m.e.nt in the place he is hiding to so he turned around to look for a better place to hide.

Liam luckily found an opened gate and went inside it. What he saw inside there is an abandoned factory. He ran to the nearest warehouse he saw and quickly opened the small door at the corner of it. He opened it but it was only pitch black inside the warehouse so he hurriedly look for a lightswitch.

SWITCH!

Every second a light will open throughout the warehouse.

He was surprised of what he saw. The inside of the factory has a huge monitor, a 10 meters long white table, electrical equipments, all the science laboratory equipment is here too and in the middle of it all is a gigantic glass box. The glass box in the middle is almost as big as a three story house with a blue-green liquid inside it. The gigantic glass box is surrounded by a ten test tube it was as big as a normal person's height and width. The test tube is covered by some black thin metal so the inside cannot be seen. It's connected to the gigantic box glass with a wire as big as one person's wrist. There was glass box besides the gigantic one ant it was ⅓ of the size of the big glass box and there was a large rubber tubing that it is connected to the gigantic one. The smaller glass box contains a fluid with unsatisfying colors filling the whole box.

"T-this..." Liam is rendered speechless the exterior of the factory is not as good as the

interior.

the difference beetween the exterior and the interior of this warehous is big.

He tought that this is not a factory but perhaps this is a facility of great scientists.

While Liam is in awe of this so called abandoned factory's warehouse, the two man is walking towards the warehouse's door.

*TAP TAP TAP*

*CREAK!*

"There you are little boy! We are tired of paying hide and seek and I know you're tired too so just rest will ya' !!" The first man with a knife said to Liam.

'Ah sh*t!! This is an open space!'

While Liam is finding a place to hide the second man already pulled out his gun and said.

"They can't hear us now here kiddo!" With a smile on his face the second man aimed down at Liam's feet.

BANG!

Liam dodged the bullet that is targeted at his feet by a hair's breadth.

He was scared shitless but soon he regain his senses and ran straight to the staircase to his left.

What he did not know is that the staircase will lead him to a one way metal flooring that will get him cornered.

Liam ran to the end of the metal floor and looked for another way out but he can't find one. He turned around again to leave but the first man following him is at the middle of the floor now.

"Oh no! You have nowhere to go. I guess this is the end for you eh? Just kneel in front of me and get ready to be shot in your head." The first man asked prankishly.

Liam is terrified as hell.

He have nowhere to go and the man is moving forward slowly so he moved backwards but he tripped and fell to the metal guard rail.

The guard rail is thin and it cannot withstand the impact given by the fall of Liam so it collapse.

As soon as the guard rail collapse and almost falling down, Liam turned his body and prepared for the fall but when he looked down he saw the top of the glass box open.

Afterwards the guard rail as well as Liam is now in the middle of the air, falling down in the gigantic glass box with an unidentifiable liquid in it.

'Oh shit! Oh f*ck! Oh shit!' Liam swears through his mind repeatedly.

*SPLASHH!!*
