Starstruck- Illusions are reality

Part 5

The little ceremony was over before we even had the chance to take a closer look. The only thing   I can think about now is the boy. His hones eyes looking at me in shock. His mesmerizing gaze. I want to see him again and I am completely sure when I say that this is the thing I wanted the most for...I don't know how long. I lived a boring life without complaining much. Now I have something to fight for. I do not know what is is yet but what I know is, that it's something gigantic. I glance at number 64 and she gives me a careful nod. We are ready.

One funny aspect is, that I never really cared about the other patients. I never wondered what their names are or what they like to do or which power they have. But now all I can think about is number 64's name. I want to know what her favorite drink is, I want to know if she likes to look at the stars too or if she is a good singer. I am desperate to know everything about her. Those thoughts are new to me and I feel a bit scared and overwhelmed by so much affection lately but it's something I can live with. Something I want to live with.

"Are you ready?" I stare up at her and nod. I am totally ready. Number 64 told me that when new patients are arriving, the guards are a bit more tamed. They allow us to walk around and eat an extra apple. So since our normal free time has begun we start and walk around. "I've seen him. He got dragged into a scary chamber without light." I frown and immediately fasted my steps. "Where is that place?" I hate my voice because every time I say something it sounds like a little pathetic baby. "Sector 3" Suddenly I stop the walking and stare at her. Sector 3?! That is a high security place, only for the guards and the head of the institute. Darcel. I really don't know a single fact about this man. He is the biggest mystery ever and I don't think I am able to talk to him again and solve it. He does all those things and I know that this is something I don't want to be part of. "Just go. I promise to be careful." I trust her. Trust...that's a word I think I've never used in my entire life. But that is what it must feel like. "No time to loose.", I mutter and then we're on our way to the forbidden sector 3. 

The institute is a strange place. Neon lights everywhere, everything is too clean, the people too nice and innocent, the guards too harsh. We try and hide from them as we reach the entrance of sector 3 but as soon as I see the high guarded door I know it's impossible. The guards- including loaded weapons- are standing in front of the massive iron door. "How could we even reach that thing without getting shot?", I ask number 64 but she smiles. "I know someone." I raise my eyebrows and look back at the entrance. She knows someone who is able to overpower those guards that look like two tonne bulldozers? I glance back at 64 to tell her that we'd have to go back but then I hear a huge impact and a second later the guards ore unconscious. I stare at them and then try and walk to the door. No red lights, no alarm, no more guards. "Wait how did that happen?" I ask 64. She still smiles and then points beside me. I turn my head and suddenly I notice a tall boy with brown hair and eyes just as green as hers. "Thats my brother James." My mouth goes open. I know his name. Of course! You can say another persons name. "Nice to meet you." His smile is so comforting that I think about how cool it would be to have an older brother. A family. "You owe me a favor number 64" He says her number with irony and amusement. "What's your real name?" I ask her and then look at James. "Her name is Julia." She nods and then grabs my arm. "And luckily I have a very intelligent older brother with the ability to make oneself invisible and a hand for technic." So that's how he could open up the door. I look at the unconscious guards and smile. He must have chloroformed them. "Stole this out of the Infirmary." He tells me a bit proud while wagging around a wet tissue. I nod and thank him. Now it's time to save the boy with the honey eyes.
