The Experiment

Chapter 6:

Iris POV

I woke up and quickly got dressed into a pair of jeans, a blue shirt and a black pair of trainers and headed for the training room since it only was five in the morning.

One I got there I grabbed a towel from a rack and put it on one of the benches and started hitting the punching bag not noticing a person in the shadows watching me.

I soon got into a routine of three punches then one upper cut with a flip kick to the bag. Sooner than expected the bag was in tatters and I got another one and let my thoughts roam. I suddenly started punching harder thinking on the test and my curse of enhanced skills knowing that I will always have some scars from those test. I broke the bag in two with a wild kick and I froze when I felt a hand on my shoulder that led me outside and into the kitchen.

"talk" the person said and I look up to see Nathon sitting across from me. I was surprised that he was up this early and I just looked away not wanting to. "talk" he said again a little more forcefully and I decided to open up.

" While I was just twelve my father came home from work frantic because his bosses wanted to see him and the rest of our family. Me being a young girl thought nothing of it. When they came though I knew I had to hide, the scientist that you rescued me from set my dad up to get me and use me as an experiment. He tried to stop them but the guards we're to powerful and they brought me to the front of the room and they put my parents in front of me in a kneeling position and I was forced to... forced to watch their murders. They cut their heads off with a sword and their heads rolled to the floor. Then the scientist grabbed me and dragged me from the house where my parents corpses were and I was brought to that facility".

Nathon was silent for a while while I just looked at my clasped hands shaking slightly. I hear a chair being moved back and Nathon's swift steps move around the kitchen. I still don't look up when I hear pots being moved around or the fridge being opened with something being taken out.

Soon the movement in the kitchen stopped and something was placed inside my still shaking hands, It was warm, I look up slightly and see a cup of hot chocolate in my hands with three startling white marshmallows floating inside.

I slowly bring it up to my lips and let the warm liquid slides down my dry throat and I hear a char being moved again and I jump slightly when I feel Nathon's arm slides around me giving me a half hug. I lean into it and quietly sip my drink soaking in the comfort.

" I'm sorry for your loss" Nathon said quietly and I just burrowed deeper into his chest feeling safe. " How about we go outside" he breath tickled my ear as he spoke and I nodded finishing my hot chocolate and the marshmallows.

We both get up and walked down the hall and out the door and I noticed the diamonds were replaced with iron and I feel a slight glow that they did that to help me out.

I walk out into the desert letting the cool wind beat down on my body while Nathon was behind me. The sand gently swirls around my feet wrapping around my waist as I stare at the moon and stars that brightly shine making the desert shine white.

I stand there for a while letting my thoughts settle like the sand was now that the wind was slowing. It was most likely six now. I turned and see Nathon standing in the shadows watching me silently. I walk over "why in the shadows"? " Best area to watch without being seen" he answered gruffly feeling most likely disoriented at my question an I just nodded and started heading to the door with him moving behind me thinking about how kind he was to me these last few days.
