Chapter 35
"I wonder what you will feel once the elixir does kick in."Said Cyan to Alex. "I am not too sure, I am sure it will be different for everyone."Said Alex. Xuan checks me over and he notices that my eyes are closed and my head is lowering as well. "We better lay Baxter down or his he will be sore once he is awake."Said Deon as he and Cole lays me down again.
The guards enter the hut, "Alex you are staying here the others follow us."Said the guard as Cole and the others follow the guards. Alex checks me again before he sits down. After awhile the Doctor enters and he notices that I am laying down. Alex explains why they had to lay me down. "Good idea, I am going to give him the mask, once the elixir starts he will open his eyes open and he will mumble and move his head for a bit."Said the Doctor as he puts on the mask on me and starts the elixir.
"It will be awhile before his eyes open."Said the Doctor as he doubles checks me again. Then he leaves. Ten hours later the others return. "That is hard work."Said Xuan as he sits down. "What did you have to do?"Asks Alex to the others. "That tunnel collapsed when no one was there we had to re-dig it again."Said Deon as he sits down.
"How is Baxter doing?"Asks Cole as he notices I have a mask on now. Alex explains what the Doctor said to him. "His eyes just open now."Said Basil as he checks me over. "They are still cloudy and they are just not moving as well."Said Cyan as I just starting to mumble a bit. "I wonder how long he is suppose to mumbling for."Said Basil as he watches me. "I have no idea. Here comes the Doctor."Said Alex as he notices the door opening and the Doctor enters.
Once he is inside he hears me mumbling. "Good, I am going to stop this elixir and give him another one that will keep him under for awhile, once that is done he will be like this for awhile. For how long I have no idea, He will be awake to see the others going thru this as well. He wont be getting the sleeping elixir at all."Said the Doctor as he motions the guards to bring in the food and blood.
We grab the food and blood and we stand in our spots. "There will be exams as well, but one at a time. I have no idea who will get it. Baxter will get it once he is awake and stronger."Said the Doctor as we started to eat and drink the blood. The Doctor watches us to see who gets the elixir. He notices Deon is going into the zombie trance while the others as getting sleepily. He gives Deon a stronger dose of the zombie elixir as he notices Deon eyes are rolling up and he is swaying. "Bring Deon to my area."Said the Doctor to the guards as they did what he was told. Then he mixes another elixir and put it in the needles and give it to Xuan, Cole, Cyan and Basil they pass out quick and they collapsed to the ground. They he puts some chloroform on a cloth and covers Alex's nose and mouth, he holds onto there until Alex pass out from the chloroform. He lays Alex down and he leaves.
He returns to his work area and sees Deon siting on his bed. The Doctor gives him a shot to bring him out of the zombie state. Deon shakes his head to clear it. "I am doing a check up and checking your circuit as well, if it doesn’t need to replaced I am going to try another elixir on you."Said the Doctor to Deon as he starts with the checkup. "You are still healthy. Just stay there."Said the Doctor as he goes to the machine and he turns it onto the low setting. He notices Deon jumps from the volts.
"Good your circuit still works."Said the Doctor as he stops the machine an Deon relaxes after the volts die down. "Your hut mates will be sleeping until tomorrow you might be out for three days, the others will do this as well, Baxter will once he is awake."Said the Doctor as he mixes the elixir. Once it is made he gives it to Deon. "Don't drink it yet."Said the Doctor as gets the IV's ready. Once he gets the IV's he places them on Deon's arm. "You can drink the elixir."Said the Doctor as he starts the IV's. Once Deon is done with the elixir he hands the cup back to the Doctor.
He watches Deon as the elixir takes effect, he notices Deon is getting very sleepily and getting a bit restless as well. The Doctor puts a mask on Deon and starts the gas which knocks Deon totally out. The Doctor pokes Deon to see if he is under, he doesn’t see any movement at all. He he gives him another shot of elixir thru the IV. He watches for awhile before he takes out the IV's and the guards bring him back to the hut.
Nothing happen during the night, Ale and the others expect for me and Deon came around. "I wonder what they did to Deon."Said Cole as he makes Deon comfortable. "Hard to say, I think everyone is going to get it done as well."Said Alex as he notices the Doctor entering with the guards. They also brought in food, Alex and the others take the food and they eat it and they put it back where they got it from. "Cole,Basil,Cyan and Xuan please follow us."Said the guards as Cole and the others follow the guards.
The Doctor checks me over and Deon over. "Deon will be out for three days, I am not too sure about Baxter. You might go under when he comes around it is my guess."Said the Doctor to Alex as he leaves. Ten hours later Cyan and the others return. "You look beat."Said Alex as they sit down. "Still working in that tunnel. The rock is hard."Said Basil as he rubs his shoulders.
Alex tells what the Doctor told him about me and Deon. "I wonder if they are going to wait for Deon to come around before they take another one."Said Cole as the guards and the Doctor enters the hut. Alex notices the food and blood. "You can grab the food and blood."Said the Doctor to us. We did what he said we ate and drink the blood. Xuan,Cyan and Basil fallen real quick and Cole went into the zombie state. "Alex lay down."Said the Doctor. Alex did what he was told and the Doctor uses a elixir to knock Alex out real quick. He checks Deon and me over again before he leaves. He arrives in his work area and he uses a elixir to wake Cole up.
Once Cole is awake he does the same exam on him. "Just lay still."Said the Doctor to Cole as he turns on the machine, Cole didn't jump as much like Deon did. "Your circuit needs to be replaced, so I am going to knock you out here and you will be out longer than Deon."Said the Doctor as he starts to make the elixir; after he is done he gives it to Cole and Cole drink the elixir, once it is done he hands the cup back to the Doctor. Few minutes later the Doctor notices Cole is so relax now. The Doctor puts on a mask on Cole which knocks him out totally, the Doctor checks to make sure Cole is totally under and Cole didn’t move when the Doctor poke him.
Then he moves Cole into the operation room and does his job. After awhile he is done and he brings Cole back into the examine room to test out the circuit and he notices Cole jump from the volts. He tells the guards to bring Cole back to the hut.
Nothing else happen during the night, everyone woke up expect for me, Deon and Cole. "Cole will be out longer than Deon."Said Xuan as he makes Cole comfortable. "It is my guess they are check the circuits over."Said Alex as he sits down. The guards enter the hut with food. "There is no work for awhile."Said the Guard as he leaves. "I don’t think they only three of us going."Said Basil as he grabs the food.
Nothing happen for the rest of the day, the guards and the Doctor enter the hut, there will be break from the exam until Cole and Deon are awake."Said the Doctor as he brings the food and blood. Alex, Cyan, Basil and Xuan takes the food and blood they start eating and drinking the blood, they were able to put the plates and cups back before the fallen asleep real quick, the Doctor checks them over and they leave.
It was a quiet evening in the morning every one awoke expect for Baxter, Deon and Cole. Alex went to check on Deon and he notices some movement from Deon. "It looks like Deon is coming around."Said Alex to the others. "It could be a be later before he is fully awake."Said Xuan as he checks Cole over.
The Doctor enters the hut he notices Deon is moving. He went to check on him to make sure the elixirs are leaving his system. "It will be tonight that Deon will be awake, he will be in a daze and he will fall back asleep until tomorrow."Said the Doctor as he checks Cole and me. "It will be another couple of days before Cole is awake, I am not too sure about Baxter."Said The Doctor as he leaves.
Later near super time Alex notices Deon is awake but in a daze. "Don't to talk go back to sleep."Said Xuan to Deon as he goes back into a deep sleep. The door opens and the guards and the Doctor enters. "Deon just woken up and he is back to sleep."Said Xuan to the Doctor. "OK, He will sleep until morning."Said the Doctor as he motions the guards to bring the food in. We all ate and drank the blood and fallen asleep real quick. "I am going to wait until Cole is awake before I take another one."Said the Doctor as they leaves.
Nothing happen during the night everyone woke up expect for Cole and me. "What happen?"Deon asks the others once he is standing. "There is a exam and when you came back you been sleeping for three days. Cole got the same exam as you. He could be the same length as you."Said Xuan to Deon as the Doctor enters he sees Deon is up an talking. "I am going to check you over."Said the Doctor as he checks Deon over and he is happy that Deon has made a full recovery.
"There is no work until Cole is up."Said the Doctor as he motions the guards to bring the food in. Once that is done Alex and the others grab the food and they ate and put they put the plates back where they got the plate from. The Doctor and the guards leaves.
Basil went to check on me and he notices I am moving a bit. "I think some of the elixir is wearing off from Baxter."Said Basil to the others. "It could take awhile before he comes around."Said Alex as he wipes the sweat off his forehead. "Are you alright Alex?" Xuan asks Alex. "I am starting to feel hot."Replies Alex.
"It could be the elixir. Remember Baxter felt cold when it started on him."Said Cyan as he remembers what I said. Alex nodded his head in agreement. Three hours later they hear me mumbling a bit, the Doctor enters the hut and he hears me making some noise. "He will be around in a day or two."Said the Doctor as he checks me over then he checks Cole over. "Cole will be around the same time as Baxter."Said the Doctor. "Will they sleep on and off when the elixir's wear off?"Asks Alex very slowly to the Doctor.
The Doctor and the others look at Alex as he goes stiff while standing. Cyan and Basil helps Alex to lay down. "His eyes are moving like Baxter's did."Said Basil as he lets the Doctor checks Alex over. "It will be the same length to get into the trance."Said the Doctor as he stands up and he leaves as well.
