Dieing Maverick: Yvette

[Yvette]

You ponder your decision for a few minutes.. your head ached, yet.. there was something on your mind, burning within your thoughts.

Benny.. dead..

Benny...

You could barely hold back your tears, you hide your face within your shawl.

"Now now.. sweety. Whatever is bothering you won't hurt you anymore."

He gives you a weird smile. You're not sure what it meant.

"Come now. Let's get you to your room. But first... Would you care for a cup of tea?"

He wasn't pleased about your hesitation, but moved forward within it.

He left the room, you meander toward the window, leading you to a dizzying site.

It appeared from all of the lights down below, you were in a great metropolitan square. Perhaps a lavish penthouse.

"It's a beautiful night isn't it dear? Aren't the Manchester streets just lovely? Come now. I have something to show you."

He hands you a cup of tea, and down the hall your eyes meet a room almost of the size of a laboratory.

An array of high tech items and tools line the table in a neat and orderly manner.

Suddenly, within a whirlwind of stars a flash happens.

You find yourself sitting in front of a small red, illuminating cylinder standing erect, just a few feet away.

Within a millisecond, it falls into floor, replacing it's placement with specially shaped piece of tile.

You grow dizzy, yet something disturbs you..
You feel nothing.
The sadness you felt before is gone.

Everything felt like a dream. The people you thought fondly of before began to fade in to this newfound void that's taken over your mind.

You began to wonder how you got here. Trying to remember the events that happened after you got kidnapped a long time ago faded into a distant blur.

And soon enough, that is all you can remember. Nothing less, nothing more.

You began to grow sad.

"Who.. who are you?" You voice shakes.

"I am your husband, Asryl. It's going to be okay now. Are you hurt dear? You seem to hit your head pretty hard earlier."

"I-I'm fine. Yeah.. What was that thing?"

"Oh, it was a health scanner, just to confirm you didn't have any life threatening injuries. You seriously had tussle with some lab equipment. Glad you came out of okay. I was bloody worried." He brushed his black hair out of his face.

"Unfortunately it took away your memory of the incident, I will refresh you on what happened prior later. Come now, supper is almost ready.

I felt a weird shift in the universe after that.

I appeared in some abandoned laboratory great hall.

Sirens blared loudly, as the atmosphere began to slowly shift into a deep red veil. I felt like something was watching my new form. And toward the end of the hallway I saw who.

Large, terrified, black eyes stare into me. "Come on you stupid fucker! Stop playing with me! I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR! TAKE ME!"

This was a human, around the age of 18. Their voice was rather deep, yet I wasn't able to tell if they were a female or male, did it matter anyway?

The sound of something I began to miss deeply, yet intuitively, followed, muffling (his?) cries, and something in a language I think could be Spanish?

My heart was beating, the sounds of my breathing. I barely noticed their absence, yet there was something about that I deeply appreciated.

[Ezekiel]

"Ezekiel Andre Creed, what the hell are you doing. Why are you.. Mind if we have a moment Toni?"

"Not at all. How old is the kid? They might be a help to us."

I passed him a smirk. "Would you like some coffee?" He nodded. I passed that old shitbag one of the nasty unsweetened cans that Aryn likes and went to check downstairs.

"I- Thank you kid. He seems plenty old enough to fight. I know that my son was much younger than him when he was fighting to stay alive in Olathe."

Olathe huh? I barely know about that place, but last I heard, about 6 years ago Olathe's situation began to melt into Mexico. Much like many other residents, I knew the time people started mutating it was time to take off and go elsewhere.

Yet, as I was taking off, I began to hear pounding coming from downstairs.

Opening the closet door, I found an angry fatass, glaring back.

"Force people to get what you want and you pay the price."

She was so angry, she was speechless, yet she knew I was right.

"I told you many times, I'm asexual, I'm aromatic. Not even a virgin, bitch. I'm just not interested."

"I-I didn't know..."

"You didn't know what? Was what I said going in one ear and out the other? Me telling you no? I thought we were friends, I thought you understood me. Just go home. I don't want to see you again."

She took off, and the rest was not important. Oh and she blocked me on everything after that.

If you want my honest opinion, I was rather disappointed. Yet, the insanity was only starting.

It was getting sorta late, and he drove us to the local private airport. Where a friend of his was waiting.

There we boarded a private jet, it was a 7 passenger, not too luxury yet it was comfortable.

During this time my stomach began to feel a bit strange.

The thing was, I don't know what was going to happen, nor did we know where we were going. Until.

Morse code began to play through Toni's smartphone. Deep in focus, he listened, repeating the message 2-3 times for through understanding.

"On the coast of Brighton, there's a secret laboratory within it's waters. It is disguised as a small, abandoned fishing shack. There, say the phrase S.E.Yado.Starr for entry. From the international private airport, this located in a bog .02 Kilometers away."

"That's not too far." I muttered. "How long is the flight going to be anyway?"

"About 4 hours, we'll need to stop by a couple borders in the private jet airports for identification.." his brow furrowed. "Who knows what they're doing to my son. I wish we didn't have to stop."

[Antonio]

To be honest, I wish we were lucky to find him with an id, passport and in walking shape, but unfortunately that is a wishful dream.

Until next time.
