The forgotten numbers II A Henry Creel fanfic

003

When I woke up this time, I was not in the infirmary. But in a small, bright room. I tried to move, but couldn't. I looked down and saw that I was chained to a chair. 

     "Well, well, well..." The voice echoed. A voice I had heard way too many times. Dr. Martin Brenner. Papa. 

     "I see that you uncovered our little secret," he chuckled. 

     "What have you done!" I spat at him. 

     "It's not what I have done, it's what you and Peter, or should I say 001, have done." He walked up to me. Stroking his hand softly on my face. 

     "Don't touch me!" I squirmed, trying to get away from him.

     "Oh, Fiona, you poor, stupid, little girl. Don't you see? I am protecting you," I screamed, hoping that someone would hear me. 

     "You can scream as much as you'd like, it won't help." 

     "LET ME GO!" I felt tears streaming down my face.

     "I am trying to protect you, from your mind. And all you do is scream, ungrateful." He dried my tears. 

     "You see, 10 years ago, you and 001, nearly destroyed everything I had worked so hard for." He was pacing around the room. 

     "You two were in love," his voice was filled with disgust.

     "Or so you said. You wanted to escape, live life together out in the free." My head is spinning.

     "001 was so weak for you, he would do anything for you, even kill." Brenner was once again chuckling. 

     "Your plan was for 001 to take me and the others out, while you gather supplies. Oh, you were so naive." 

     "You're making it up! Why don't I remember any of this?" What could he possibly have done?

     "I erased both of your memories, but you have started to break through the barrier I created. You have started to remember." He gave me a serious look. 

     "Why was there so much blood everywhere?" 

     "Your plan malfunctioned, 001 didn't know his limits, he attempted to kill me, but almost killed himself in the process. You tried to help him, but couldn't." 

     "What? But Peter? He... He is alive." I slumped back, had I hurt him? 

     "That's because of me, I saved him." Never, Brenner would never do that.

     "I couldn't let him die, he was too powerful." Brenner took a seat next to me.

     "Why couldn't you just let us go! Let us be happy!" My voice cracked. 

     "You are dangerous, you are monsters!" His voice was filled with poison.

Tears were flooding down my cheeks, I am. I could have killed Peter. 

     "I don't want you talking to 001 anymore, he still doesn't remember anything and I want it to remain that way." 

No way, I can't. Not after this, I need Peter.  And just as I thought that I felt a sharp pain seer through my entire body. My body twitched. The electricity initiated by Brenner was only increasing in power.  I screamed, begging for mercy. 

    "I PROMISE, I WON'T TALK TO HIM EVER AGAIN!!" And just as suddenly as the pain has started, it stopped. 

     "Good." Brenner signaled to the other orderlies to take me away. 

     "If I see you talking to him again, I won't be as kind." He disappeared. 

The two other orderlies, I think their names were Carl and Sam, came over to either of my sides. Dragging me out of the room, into my bedroom. 

     "Dr. Brenner says that you should take a few days off, to recover." One of the snickered and they left me on the cold hard floor. 

I curled up into a ball, letting tears silently fall. I just wanted to disappear. I didn't want to exist anymore.
