Humanity's last breath

15. Guilty until proven innocent

"Mummy!" I screamed

I sat up in my bed and wiped my eyes. I was crying in my sleep? What is wrong with me. I stood up and stretched. Halfway through my stretch I realized that it was still night and everyone will be still fast asleep.

I rolled off my 'bed' and opened the room door and walked outside. My hover board was probably ready so I walked to the main building to receive it from room 33. I walked down the dark corridor to hear some whispers in the distance so curious me followed the noise. I stopped outside General Mathew's office.

Why is he still awake and talking to himself?

"No footprints suggests that they used a hover board and class 1 was the only class on the premises with hover boards" General Mathew said

"Amelia Cola could have pretended to lose her hover board..."

"It can't be Amelia, she was with me the whole night" Captain Lexi interrupted Captain Logan.

Okay, he's not talking to himself.

"Look who's getting protective over your crazy twin" Captain Logan sniggered, I heard a hit and then Captain Logan crying out "Ow!"

"She's not my twin, she's a sister I never had" Captain Lexi said

"Back to the subject" General Mathew cut in

"It could have been Kelsy, she hasn't got a board and that would give her reason to steal Amelia's" I scowled, how could Captain Hunter think it was me? "And it was the deligent she couldn't kill earlier so maybe there was a emotional attachment to it. Which would explain why that was the only deligent that was set free while the others were found dead"

What?! My hands baled into fists, they got it so wrong, me not being able to kill the deligent has nothing to do it this. However, everything that they said would make sense to someone who doesn't know me.

"Plus, during the tests her skill was out standing and she didn't seem uneasy about opponents double her size and when in combat against both deligents and people, she presented on the spot quick problem solving in her attacks and most people only develop that skill with experience" Captain Carter added.

Obviously I have had experience. Like the caveman situation and deligent in the woods situation.

"and she's supposed to have no experience like the most of class 1" General Mathew finished off.

My eyebrows narrowed. I can't believe this was happening. I could tell them information on Amelia's missing hover board but from the looks of things, I was their main suspect so any information from my mouth would practically be invalid.

Me being here is making me even more suspicious. I turned around to walk back until the floor creaked under my foot. My face paled. The door suddenly whacked open and I turned around to stand face to face with General Mathew and the four Captains.

"Why are you ears dropping?" Captain Hunter demanded

"I... I wanted to ask for my hover board" I replied looking around the room as the General and Captains all looked at me accusingly.

"In the middle of the night?" Captain Logan smirked me.

"I couldn't sleep"

General Mathew opened his draw and pulled out the orange drink and threw it to Captain Hunter.

"Drink" Captain Hunter ordered. I took the bottle and drank the required amount "Finish it"

I looked at him confused and looked around the room. Everyone was waiting for me to finish it. They really didn't trust me. I did as he said and drank everything
