Dear Journal;

Today I went to Gambino to visit my parents. They don’t much come home so I usually go there so they can check up on me and we can visit.

I love the mansion, the lights that dangle from the ceiling, dancing and sparkling is eye catching. The way the room echoes with every foot step tells you how big, yet empty it is there. To be honest though, Gambino has waaaay to many pictures of himself up on the wall, but whatever, I guess he really likes himself. The stairs are killers though, so many of them to go up and down just to get to my guest room and back. I’ve always wanted to slide down the handrail, but that wouldn’t be lady like and if Gino ever saw that…well..I think I would so die!

The one thing I don’t like about visiting there is the Lab. I know they do some weird things down there and Gambino is famous for coming up with some crazy stuff out of that lab. Some things that aren’t very nice. Some things that can only cause destruction, or pain. I don’t like going down there anyway, not after what happened before… I remember it so clearly. I never want to hear those screams again, I never want to see those things again. After we lost her…Mom and dad don’t let me go down there. Even though, I’m suppose to take over Dad’s work. He just doesn’t know that and I think it’s a blessing to be rid of that obligation. Though sometimes I get curious.

Anyway, Mom and Dad both had a lunch with me. I had Raspberry green tea, it’s the best here on the island. Mom had her nasty coffee and dad, well…he’s been pretty addicted to Red Binos lately. The sandwiches were delicious, even if they looked like Gambino’s face or tried to and it creeped me out. Dad rambled on about work and Mom talked about my future, you know all the boring things grown ups talk about.

God I was so bored. I kept wandering my eyes outside the window. “Do you want to go outside for a while pumpkin? I thought you didn’t like the bugs.” Those words snapped me out of my daze. “What? Ew, no. I don’t want to get sunburned dad.” I saved it. I quickly went to drink my tea and spilled it on myself. OMG how embarrassing is that?! That’s when I noticed that my boob size was too small. I must have grabbed the wrong ones. All I could do is blush and pray that my parents wouldn’t notice that my boobs were going backwards. Wait. Of course they wouldn’t, there’s a lot of things…they don’t notice about me.

Anyway, after the lunch dad went back to work and mom went back to her office. While I wandered around the mansion hoping to find something interesting or secret, maybe Gino’s baby pictures. I went into a room and the picture I found on the wall though were, pretty much just Gambino’s public underwear collection. Ugh, gross! What else would I find in his study though right? I dinked around with a few more things, particularly what looked like a buzzer. I pressed it and pretended like I was Gambino "Excuse me Gcorps, Is my groin enhancer ready yet?" I laughed out loud. I was so bad!

I started to leave the eyesore filled room when I heard, well it sounded like a little boy…in the wall. I know, creepy right? I listened and I kept hearing it. I leaned against the wall, moving down it and pressing my ear against the wall. “I must be crazy” I thought. It stopped. I pressed my head against the wall harder. I heard a click and the wall moved. I didn’t even know I could jump back that fast. All that was there was a long winding old stair case, it smelled like dust and moldy cheese. I heard the child again, this time louder…it was deffinately coming from down stairs. “No” I thought “I know they test on animals here but…not people…not kids…” I felt so sick thinking about it. I had to know, I couldn’t bare it sticking in the back of my mind.

I started walking down the star case. The echoed squeaks from the stairs mixed with the clank of my shoes in the hollow stairwell was so loud and creepy, or maybe that was just my heard pounding. I don’t remember. The shadows forming on the wall from the dancing flames of the torches played tricks on my eyes. I was afraid I wanted to turn back, but I had to know, I had to be brave for this child. I grabbed a torch, took off my shoes to lighten the sound and made my way down the stairs until I got to the bottom. There was a large room with many doors. It looked almost abandoned. Was it a prison? It didn't look like a lab, just an empty, old space, forgotten.

I walked in the middle of the room listening for the cries of the child. I lifted my light, counting the doors, all closed tightly and rusted. Then out of the corner of my eyes I noticed something, one of the doors was open. Just one. Again I heard the kid and walked closer. "Hello?" was all I could squeeze out. I took small steps, hearing some behind me. "Just my imagination" I thought and I took a few more, stopped and heard them follow then stop. They did sound like little children's feet, they sounded...large.

I felt a hot gust of wind blowing on my back and a stench that was most foul. It smelled of rotting flesh and garbage, then, the sound of that child again. I slowly turned around my hands sweating and still trying to keep the grip on my light. I started to breath fast, my chest started burning.

The first think I remember seeing was claws, They were big and long and almost looked like deformed human hands mixed with cats feet. Then my eyes moved up, and there was a giant set of teeth in front of me. This creature was large, it hovered over me as if I was a rabbit to a cat. His nostrils were flaring. I think he was smelling me as if taking in the aroma of his meal. His eyes on the side were black the four on the top were red. Gazing at me. His snout was long and narrow filled with sharp teeth, sharp and stained with blood and tarter. It looked like the bottom half of him was covered in fur and dirt, the top was smooth and shinny black skin.

I felt my body shake with fear. "But wait! The kid!" I looked frantically with my eyes and took a step back. The creature let out a howl, the howl that sounded like....a human child. "Dear God" I thought "It lured me here. That's how he calls his prey..." I started to feel sick, the blood rushed all to my head putting pressure behind my eyes, which were opened so wide I thought they might fall out. I felt the the hot tears flood from them and down my cheeks. I wanted to run, I couldn't move, I couldn't move my legs. All I could do was whimper and hope that if I held still it wouldn't attack me. Thoughts ran through my head..."why did I come down here. I remember why I hated the underground part of the mansion, the lab. What are they doing down here? what are they making? I'm going to die here, I'm going to die in this piss excuse of a dungeon from some..thing and no one will find my body. Why was I so stupid? How could I be so stupid to think that a child would be down here, that it was safe to check?"

The things mouth opened slowly. His front fangs nearly brushing up against my cheek. His thin tongue wiggling in his salivated mouth. Why couldn't my feet move?


I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the pain of being chewed to death...I would be with her soon.

"I FOUND IT!" A voice shouted from the open door. The creature and myself both looked in that direction. A Gcorps labtech. "What are you doing here?" He shouted at me. The creature turned his attention from me to the man, squealing a different more aggressive sound. More foot steps echoed behind the man, louder and louder until more guys in coats and masks were there. They all carried stun gun and instantly started to shoot.

Pissed off the thing started to thrash the room violently. I still couldn't move, I was so afraid, and shocked. My heart jumped into my throat when on of the labtechs grabbed my arm. He was babbling something, but the room started to spin and I couldn't make it out. We ran to the door and down the hall. It went on forever.

"Wait...the door...it's open..." I panted. "It will get out."
"Do. rry. wwell ake....ca...rof...t." Was all I could make out. Suddenly lights! We were in the lab now. Running from one door of many. Fire and smoke covered the background. The room was smashed as well. I remember seeing broken cages, they got out. "How many?" I thought "And how?"

We ran forever it seemed. My bare feet felt as if they were going to fall off. I couldn't make anything out. The noises sounded like slow motion but, everything went so fast. All I knew was that I could hear that thing behind us, but I didn't want to look back, I didn't want to see it ever again. More guys in coats appeared. So much white, so much noise. I only remember being yanked around left and right, getting so light headed. Then everything went black.

I woke up in Gambino's study again. A dream? No, my body was still shaking, my eyes burned from crying. There was a red spot on my arm from being gripped so hard and my feet were dirty and bare. It wasn't a dream. I walked out of the study, happy to be alive, wanting to forget everything.

"Hey pumpkin!" I jumped again. "Want to go shopping?" Dad, it was dad. Did he know what was going on? I kept my back to him and shook my head. "You know dad, I think I'm just going to go outside." I started to walk towards the door, hoping he wouldn't notice my shock and my smudged make up from crying. Of course he didn't.

There's a lot of things....he doesn't notice about me.....
