Amelia's Dream

I sat in my little room, drawing at the table. I'm still thinking about what 001 said. He wants to leave and take me with him. How is that even possible? Why does he want to leave? Does he not like Papa? I mean some days I don't like Papa, but where else would I go? Anytime I ask Papa about my mom or dad he just says that I don't need a mom and dad. That Papa is my family, that he is the only one I need.

"002?" A knock came on my door. "It's me, 001. May I come in?"

"Yes." I weakly said.

I watched as 001 walked into my room before he gently closed the door. 001 walks slowly over to my little table and places his hand on the back of a chair. I flinch as the chair dragged on the floor, making a horrible sound.

"What are you drawing?" 001 sits down and points to my crayons and paper.

"The walls." I slid the paper over to 001. I watch as 001's eyes narrow at the drawing.

"Why the walls? Why not the woods?" I narrow my eyes at 001. Not because I'm mad but because I'm confused.

"Woods?" I asked

"The woods are a magical place. It's filled with trees, animals, and plants, more than anyone could imagine. You'll love it, it's so peaceful. No one is in control of the woods only mother nature. And that's what makes it so magical." 001 grabbed a blank piece of paper and began to draw his woods.

"Where are these woods?" I whispered as I smile at his silly drawing.

"Just be on these very walls." 001 held up my drawing of the walls and pulled out his from behind it.

"Is that why you want to leave? To go see the woods?" I question 001.

"No. I want to leave because there's more out there. There more be on these walls, 002. You just need to open your eyes." 001 gave me his drawings.

"Just think 002, we would be the ones in control. Not Papa."

"But Papa says it's safe here," I whisper as I rub my finger over the trees.

"Papa lies, 002."

"No!" I gasp

"Yes, he does. I promise that if we leave, I will show you the woods. I will let you deiced how and when to use your power. I will let you be free." 001 stuck his hand out to me. Waiting.

"I can't leave. I need Papa." I start to cry as I hug my body.

"No. You don't need anyone, 002." 001 rushed over to me. He grabbed my little hands and made me look at him.

"You have great power; you don't need someone telling you what to do with it. You don't need to be experimented on. No more shots. No more medicine. No more lab studies. That's why I want us to leave." 001 pleaded with me.
