The Encounter

By sharkdream3421

“Are you a doctor? My friend needs medical attention!” Carter Cooper shouted in desperation towards the man that was behind the glass wall.

“Calm down young man. I am a doctor, and I do need assistance as I am trapped in this room due to the lockdown. My name is Dr. Dawson. I need a code from downstairs, so I can open the door in my room. If you can go down to the emergency room and retrieve the code. I could get out of this room and help you with whoever needs medical attention,” The person behind the glass mirror explained.

Carter thought about what Dr. Dawson said. It was dangerous to go down there, especially if there was a serial killer in the facility that he was trapped in right now. His friend needed those medical supplies. The wound was an infection and would only get worse. Without those medical supplies, his friend could be in massive amounts of pain. Carter had no other choice, but to go to the emergency room.

“Okay, but I’m only getting the code that’s it.”

“Magnificent! Be wary down there for any intruders.”

“Whatever, the sooner I get this code the better.”

Carter walked up to the door that led to the emergency room and accessed the wiring processor. Carter rearranged the wires and the door opened. Carter stared down the corridor, and a dark, tense, atmosphere had begun to fill the room. Hospital beds were scared around the room, dead bodies lay on the floor, and pills were scattered around the floor. This hallway alone appeared to be like some sort of entryway into the worst place you could have ever imagined.

It was like he was in hell. What had turned this place into a hellish state? What happened?

Carter swallowed his fear and walked down the corridor. The lights on the top of the ceiling were flashing, and one of the light panels had been hanging in midair. Something had done all this damage, and Carter wasn’t liking what he was seeing. Carter rounded the corner at the end of the corridor. He appeared to be in the lobby of the medical center. More dead bodies could be seen on the ground, large claw marks appeared on the walls, and lockers were opened throughout multiple hallways.

“Thank you for doing this task for me young man. You would be great at leading the next generation of our race for sure,” Dr. Dawson praised Carter as he spoke through the microphone system that was connected from the room he was trapped into the entire medical area of the facility.

“Whatever, I’m just doing this for my friend.”

Carter continued to walk down the hallway and turned left to enter a room. On the desk appeared to be a computer and Carter sat in the desk chair and investigated the terminal. Carter accessed its files and saw no code. Although, a mention of where to find the code was in the computer. The code would be in one of the doctor’s offices. The code would particularly be in Dr. Johnson’s office. That was on the other side of the medical area of the facility. Carter’s eyes widened in surprise.

Crap! Hopefully, I’ll encounter no problems on my way.

Carter got off the chair and opened the room’s door. Carter had begun to walk down the hallway and would take a right toward the lobby area. Carter figured that Dr. Dawson didn’t know where the code was. Carter knew it wasn’t in the emergency room.

“Young man, something is wrong! The security system is saying that there is a breach in the medical area of the facility. I would be on your guard!”

Carter rolled his eyes in disappointment. The doctor wasn’t offering any assistance with what Carter’s objective was. Carter was surrounded by tons of dead bodies in an abandoned part of the facility he was trapped in. The dead bodies gave a particular, gross, and disgusting stench where the scent could be tracked from yards away. He was already on his guard.

Carter was walking down a hallway that had a wide glass panel on his right that showed the other side of the hallway. A door was about a yard away from where Carter was, and a loud sound could be heard that was emanating from the door.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Something or someone was slamming against the door. Carter knew that whatever it was; it wasn’t good. The hinges from the door had begun to peel off as if it was skin. A powerful force was beyond that door. Carter searched the vicinity for anything that could ensure his survival. On the left side of the hallway appeared to be an opportunity to hide. A locker door was open and had nothing inside it. The lockers in the medical facility were the size of a human being so anyone could fit inside them. They were large for the sole purpose of storing people’s belongings. Although, Carter was sure that the locker might just save his life.

Carter sprinted to the locker with haste and hopped inside. He spun around at a complete one-hundred and eighty-degree angle; using his left hand, Carter closed the locker door with a soft sound emitting from the door when he closed it. A small panel that looked like a vent was installed on the locker door. This allowed Carter to see what was on the other side of the locker door. The door separated outside threats from Carter, and would hopefully guarantee his safety.

BLAM!

A loud noise came from the direction of the berated door. Something was down the hallway, but what? Carter’s breath had quickened, his body began to shake on its own, and his expression was one of fear. Carter heard loud, stomping, footsteps down the hallway. His reaction was to only slowly walk backward in the locker. Only until his body hit the back of the small box with a small, quiet, thud.

Carter Cooper’s eyes widened at the shock of what he had seen before him. It was something out of a horror movie! It was something that would chase you in your nightmares! Carter Cooper would be traumatized. A creature had entered his line of sight. The creature appeared to be a combination of a great white shark and a reef shark. Meanwhile, half of the shark’s body appeared to be made out of metal. The shark’s head was something of a great white shark. Its right eye was pitch-black, while the left eye appeared to be mechanical that glowed a deep red.

The man shark's body was very large as he had the structure of a human-man but shark-like. His right arm was mechanical, and his left arm was equivalent to a human-shark hand. Both hands had three sharp nails that protruded from their fingers. The palm of the creature’s hands was huge. The creature had a large dorsal fin that stuck out of its back as a normal shark would.

Lastly, the most dangerous aspect of the creature was its large tail that swayed around the room. It had the shape of an anchor that would come from a ship. Half of the tail was mechanical, while the other half was from the shark’s own body. Carter put the pieces together and found out the harsh truth of the rumors that had been going around the facility. Rumor has it that there was a killer among the staff in the building. The killer aspect was right. However, the staff part was wrong. Rumors tended to be a half-truth, half-lie most of the time in Falco City.

Carter gasped as his heart pounded twice as hard against his chest. Small tears started to escape the young adult’s eyes. The mechanical shark opened its mouth. Multiple rows of very sharp teeth appeared from the shark’s mouth. That monstrosity was a living nightmare! The shark sniffed the mysterious scent in the air and traced it to its origin.

The shark was heading straight to Carter. Carter knew that this was the end. All those dead bodies were probably from this monstrosity. The shark moved its large head around the locker. Carter panicked and took a large deep breath. He then held the air into his lungs as he dared to not make any noise. A growl emerged from the creature, and they moved their eyes to get a closer look at the suspicious locker.

I’m dead! I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m so very dead!

The shark groaned and slowly walked away from the locker. As Carter heard the creature’s loud feet slowly get distant and harder to hear. Only then Carter released the tension from his lunges and let oxygen seep back via his system. Carter took a glance through the vent to check for any dangerous signs of life. There appeared to be none. Carter took out the MapPad that he had received when he first walked into the facility for being a visitor. The young adult looked closely at the contents of the map of the medical area of the facility. Carter wasn’t that far from his destination as it was only some twists and turns away from the locker he was in.

Carter exited the locker with a small creek emitting from its hinges and continued his search for the code, while he was simultaneously being on guard for the shark that was walking around the facility.

When Carter found the code, he raced back to the entryway that led to the emergency room. The young adult noticed that the door was locked. Dr. Dawson had locked him in with the creature! Carter noticed that a security camera was in the ceiling and it was facing towards him.

“Dawson, open the door right now!” Carter demanded.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry, but I can’t. That creature is still out there!” Dawson said in distress.

Dang, it! He knew about that monstrosity all along!

“Listen, Dawson, if you don’t open the door then you can’t get out of the room that you’re trapped in. I have the code so let me through!”

“Tell me the code!” Dawson pushed Carter.

“Not until you open this damn door!”

It was only a few seconds later that he finally got an answer.

“Fine, but it’s your funeral!”

The door opened and Carter ran to the glass wall. Dawson was sitting in a wheelchair and was clearly under a lot of stress.

“The code is 6109, now give me the meds!”

“Of course! Just let me grab the medication and then we can get out of here together!” Dawson replied.

Dr. Dawson walked up to the shelf of pills, and vitamins. Dawson grabbed a cylinder-like tube and put it into a big, square, box. A small rumble from the box occurred only until a moment later; a small ring escaped from the box. The pills turned into a liquid substance. Dr. Dawson walked up to the door and typed in the code. Carter saw a small, metal, object behind the doctor's back, but wasn’t sure what it was. When the door opened, Dawson walked up to Carter and gave him the deformed pills.

“Let your friend drink it, he should start to feel better in no time.”

“Thank you, Dawson,” Carter said with a sincere smile.

“No problem, now let’s get out of here before that creature arrives.”

Carter had suddenly been run over by a fast, speedy, and large critter. Carter screamed as he landed on the ground with his head hitting the floor. Due to the impact, his head throbbed with slightly blurry vision. The medication that Carter was given, landed on the ground next to him. Dr. Dawson backed away from the creature as the shark crawled to be in front of Carter. Carter screamed in fear at the full sight of the mechanical shark in front of him. The upset abomination opened its jaws as it was preparing to feed on its snack.

The sound of a gunshot rang in Carter’s ears. The young adult looked for the origin of the sound and found that Dawson had a revolver in his hand. The shark roared at the doctor in anger as the shark had a gunshot wound in its arm. The shark changed its target to Dawson, and Dawson cowered away in fear. Carter heard the loud footsteps of Dawson’s feet as he ran down the emergency room hallway along with the stomps of the creature chasing after Dawson.

Carter quickly grabbed the medication and sprinted to the elevator that was at least a hundred feet away from where he was previously standing. Carter counted how far he was away from the elevator as he heard the shark growl. One hundred feet, eighty feet, sixty feet. Meanwhile, the monstrosity was getting closer to Carter. Forty feet, twenty feet, two feet! When Carter entered the elevator and hit the elevator button to go down. As the elevator doors were closing, Carter turned around to see that the shark was very close to grabbing Carter and devouring him.

A loud growl could be heard throughout the entire building as Carter descended the elevator toward the lower levels of the facility. Carter breathed with heavy breaths as he tried to take in what had just occurred. That monster was in the building and was willing to kill anyone in its path. The shark cornered him when he landed on the floor like a wolf trying to chase down its prey. Sharks were apex predators after all. Dawson never made it to the elevator and the shark chased Carter, which only meant that the doctor met a tragic death.

“Thank you, Dawson, for saving me. I’ll make it up to you somehow.”

Carter sat on the chairs that were in the elevator and rested for a short moment. Carter only hoped that he could escape the facility as soon as he could. He would do it for everyone that had died in the facility. He had to survive for his mother, father, brother, and Dawson. Although, Carter knew that the shark would be back eventually. That shark had been killing everyone in the facility, which explained the piles of bodies that were found in the medical area. Carter had to contain that beast because if he didn’t, only chaos and death would occur.
