There's basically no air here anymore, everyone walks around with gas masks, which hardly help anyway. Our 'master' as he calls himself describes 'his' world he has created as perfect. I hardly agree. Sure there's no crime, poverty, murder, but I wouldn't call a perfect world a place where as soon as any child is born they're given a number instead of a name. It's rare for people to have any kind of name. I'm one of the few that do, Levenna, though I'm known as 'subject 13'. In this 'perfect' world, we're basically just slaves for our master.
We do have jobs, strange one, and we don't get to pick. Some people are his toy soldiers, training to be his defence system from a very young age. Some 'slaves' are his miners. They're horrible to look at. Since it's forbidden to see what his miners are mining, he's sowed their eyes shut.
I'm lucky to have the job that I have, though I will never enjoy it. My job is having my memory scanned, it's a job where I have to relive the memories they want me to, they say something in my past has an important source of information that could lead them to their goal.
One of his men came up to my cell, requesting I go to the memory chamber, I've learnt that by refusing his order I get punished for it , so all I can do is nod and start walking. "Ah, subject 13. You've got a job to do, so hop into the memory pod" I cringe every time I get referred to as a number, especially by him "fine" I begin making me way towards the pod, he glares at me, I've never been one of his 'favourites' "fine what?" here we go again. He wants me to refer to him as 'master' I never have and I never will. I rolled my eyes, continuing towards the memory pod.
"What memory this time..." I want to be a smart arse and say more but I restrain myself from doing so "The fire" he smirks at me as my eyes widen, that's the memory where I lost my family, my parents, sister and my brothers. We've been at this for weeks, I'm sick of watching the die. "We'll also be doing the Ghost Effect this time, where you'll see yourself as well as others, observing the memory"
"So once again you're putting me through this memory but instead of reliving it, I'm a 'ghost' observing the memory instead?"
"Correct" God I don't know what's worse! Living in the ghost of my past or observing myself as a ghost!
His assistant 5, Belladonna, strapped me into the machine, and put the memory head set on me. "Ready to begin?" all I did was glare at him, who asks that kind of question, hey are you ready to begin watching your family die? No! Of course I'm not! "Good"
"I didn't say I was ready"
"Well I'm afraid it was a rhetorical question. I don't care" Jeez I hate him.
Belladonna flicked the switch, sending me to the memory core of my mind. It starts out the same each time, a white environment that has nothing, kind of like it's a loading sequence. The thunder of gunfire and the smell of ash linger towards me, no, it's happening again, the pain and fear flew through my entire body. "Mum! What's happening?" it's Luna, my little sister. I must be with dad "Luna, hurry! We have to find dad Levenna"
"But, where's Blaze and Caz?" I see tears roll down Mum's cheek. It hurts so much to see this.
Our psychotic master seems to have fast forwarded the memory to where Mum and Luna find me and Dad in the study room. I see myself laying next to Dad... my lifeless Dad. I can't handle much more of this! "DAD!!!"
"Oh God, Levenna!" Mum shakes me trying to wake me up, but nothing, she checks my pulse "oh thank goodness!"
"What about Dad?" Mum cries "it's too late Luna, we have to leave" the past me begins to awaken, and then let's out a piercing scream. "Come on, Levenna! It's too late now, we have to leave!" Mum grabs my hand and Luna's and begins to run. I can't bear the next part of this memory, I can only hopeMr Psycho here fast forwards that part... and of course he didn't. Before I knew it, those men I see in my nightmares run up to us, armed with rifles and other sources of torture "take one more step and we'll kill the girl!"
"We've been through enough already! Leave us be!" I can't watch, but I have no choice "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" One of the men shot Luna in the leg "Luna!" The rage on mum's face had no words to describe how angry she was. She disarmed one of the men and took one of their weapons, but the other one was still armed, and before we knew it, dead. The past me had the same amount of rage as mum did, mixed with fear and sadness 'I' picked up the weapon Mum managed to steal from them, and killed both two men. Time went by as I picked up Luna and ran, I didn't know where, nor did I care, I just ran. I stopped at a point to try and tend to Luna's leg, but I was a mere child then, I didn't know how to deal with a shot leg, there just wasn't enough time.
The environment turned black, it was finally over. They pulled me out of the pod "We finally have what we need. It was in your father's study all along, now we don't need you, therefore you'll now line up at the disposal chamber" there's no way I'm going there! "50 and 80!" A man and woman appear from the transporters. "Escort her to the disposal chamber now"
"Yes master" the grab an arm of me each and begin walking. I try to walk as slow as I can.
