A new beginning

Part 1

The last thing he remembered before waking up in a very unfamiliar place was his sister screaming his name. He was told when he woke up that his name was Max. He didn't recognize the name so he believed what the person told him. That person turned out to be a scientist and he found out that he woke up in a lab. What was he doing in a lab? He thought, He tried to move but couldn't. He looked down and saw that he was tied to a chair. What is going on? He thought all though he couldn't speak. That's when the scientist came in the room. She was tall and thin and wore a long lab coat that almost touched the floor. "Hello Max." She said to him, She probably thought he recognized her or something even though he didn't. "Where am I and what's going on?" He finally spoke which showed the scientist. He was shocked that he even spoke out loud. That was the first time he ever spoke out loud and it surprised him at how weird it sounded. He was told that he didn't speak much as a kid but what would they know? He woke up here with no recollection of what happened before he got here, and they already think they know so much about him. He looked to his left and saw a lifeless body in the chair next to him. "What happened to them?" He said pointing to the person in the chair.
The scientist didn't answer him, all she said was who she was. "I'm Dr. May," she said with an annoyed look on her face. The look on her face frightened him. He has never seen anyone look so annoyed that he didn't know what to do. He continued to look around the room and saw nothing but blank walls. One of the walls which had a window in the center had other scientists on the other side watching. Is this some kind of operation? He thought to himself not wanting to ask out loud, afraid of what might happen if he did. The next thing he knew he was knocked out cold asumingly by a needle. When he awoke he was in a new room, a room he didn't recognize. “Ah, you're finally awake,” Dr. May said ina slightly cheerful tone. “I guess,” he said coldly earning a upset look from Dr. May. He then noticed a pounding sensation in his head. He had a bad headache but what from? He assumed it was from whatever was in that needle.
Even though he was tempted to ask somehow he knew what would happen if he did. He sat and watched as Dr. May pulled tools off of a tray that looked like a tool tray people use in hospitals. As soon as he saw what tools were being used he knew what was going on. Apparently he was going through some kind of surgery but he didn't know why. All he could think of was, what would happen if the surgery didn't go well? All of a sudden out of nowhere he asked, “ Wo ist meine Schwester und was hast du ihr angetan?” He had only just realized he had said that in German when Dr. May replied, “Your sister is fine, she is watching all of this on the other side of the window,” she said in a very calm voice as if he hadn't just asked her that in a rude tone.
He looked over at the window to see his sister staring back at him. He looks at Dr. May with pleading eyes to bring his sister in the room. "Fine," she says and goes to get his sister. He didn't know his sister's name but was told that it was Mary. "Großer Bruder! Ich habe mir solche Sorgen gemacht," she said in a very small voice. "Hallo Mary, mir geht es gut, versprochen," he said but just then he passed out and Mary was taken to the other side of the mirror.
A few hours past and he woke up in a room he hasn't seen before. Where am I now? He thought not wanting to speak. "Hello, anyone here?" He had only asked this because it was really quiet. "Mary? Bist du hier drin?" He asked in a worried tone. That's when a new Dr. Came in the room. "Hello Max I'm Dr. Mayhem. You may be wondering why that is my name but that is confidential information that I am not allowed to tell you," his voice was calm and slow. Max on the other hand was confused and wanted to know what was going on. "What's going on!? Where is my sister!? You better not have hurt her!!" He yelled getting even more mad by the second.
"woah, woah, woah calm down Max your sister is fine." He said while coming closer to Max. Max acted on instinct and kicked Dr. Mayhem. He looks up to see Dr. Mayhem on the ground but when he tried to get up to run away he couldnt. He looked down at the chair he was sitting in and realized he was tied to it again. "You're gonna pay for that Max," Dr. Mayhem said while getting closer to Max once again. Oh no! He thought to himself, he was surely gonna die but out of nowhere someone pulled Dr. Mayhem away from him. He looked up to see his sister. "Maria! Du bist ok! Warte, woher weißt du, wo du mich finden kannst?" He asked her in a confused tone. "I knew where to find you once I heard the doctor say your name," she said in English which shocked Max because he thought she only knew German.
That was odd he didn't really speak English much either but somehow he knew what it was even tho he was only thought German. He was always wondering where he leaned English from but never bothered to figure it out.
English was a strange language to him and he is surprised he can speak it fluently. He's even more surprised that his sister can speak it fluently. German in their first language and English just came out of nowhere but he was ok with it. It makes it easier to talk to the doctors or scientists as he likes to call them, since neither one seems to know any German except for Dr. May. He knows she understands German but she has never heard her speak it. "Hallo Max, ich habe gehört, was mit Dr. Mayhem passiert ist. Das war nicht sehr schön, wissen Sie." Her voice was very calm which Max was not expecting.
When he heard her speak German there was a slight spark that went off inside him. He couldnt tell what it was but it could possibly be fear. All though that's not something he usually feels unless his sister is involved.
He went to sleep a few hours later because he got bored of just sitting in the chair staring at the ceiling. When he woke up he was still in the same room but wasn't tied to the chair and there was a clean pair of clothes as well. I'm free. He thought getting dresses and walking around the room. While he was looking around he found a switchblade on the ground and decided to keep it for safety reasons. As soon as he out the switchblade in his pocket the door to the room opened. "Max, komm schnell. Alle Wissenschaftler schlafen im Keller, also haben wir eine Chance zu entkommen." It turned out to be Mary but she was speaking softly as to not wake the others. Max followed her out and ran into a guard in the way out. "Where do you think you're going!?" He yelled while making a grab at Max. Mary jumped in front of him and the guard grabbed her but Max was ready with his switchblade. He ran up to the guard and slit his throat making him drop mary and giving them time to run away before being caught again. "I think I just killed that guard Mary," he said with a slightly scared tone. Mary didn't say anything she just looked at him and continued running.
When they got away far enough they found the door that leads outside and opened it. Little did they know that there was a guard on the other side blocking it. Max had finally gotten the door open when he was grabbed from behind. "Hey let me go!" He yelled while kicking whoever had ahold of him. "Max calm down," it was just Mary trying to keep him away from the guard staring down at them. Max is 5'6, Mary is 4'11 and the guard looked to be about 6'1. The guard towered over them so that backed up slowly. Max then slight the guards throat and took Mary's hand running outside. As Max looked around he saw a few trees, a big bush and a stray dog wondering around. Mary on the other hand had gotten in  the only car in the drive way. Turns out whoever owns that car left the keys in the ignition. So Max hopped in and Mary drove far from the lab. They drove for about 3 hours when Mary stopped at a park. Max looked around and saw nothing but pretty flowers and an empty playground. "Warum hast du hier aufgehört? Hier ist niemand, aber es ist." He asked looking at Mary confused. She said nothing and just looked at the flowers. They sat there in silence for a few hours before Max fell asleep. When he woke up he was laying in a comfortable bed in what looked like a hospital room. Right when he sat up a doctor came in. "Hey there bud, you gave us quit a scare," her voice was soft and calm. "Me and my partner were driving through the neighborhood and saw you and your sister passed out in the car. We tried to wake y'all up but you guys had a heat stroke so we had to get an ambulance." Max loved the sound of her voice is was so calm and soothing.
The thought of what happened crossed his mind. "Where is my sister?" He said in a worried tone fearing that something might have happened to her. The doctor said nothing but looked at him with sympathetic eyes. Then she just walked out of the room without answering his question. "Where.is.my.sister!" He yelled starting to get upset. "We can't tell you right now," he looked up to see a male doctor staring at him. He hated when nobody told him things. He wanted to know what happened to May and where she was. The thought of her dying because of the heat stoke got to him and he started to shake. "Hey Max, what's wrong?" The male doctor asked in a worried tone. "My sister died from the heat stroke didn't she?" He didn't look up nor did he make eye contact with the doctor when he asked. "We're sorry,we tried everything we could but she didn't make it," the doctor looked at him with sympathetic eyes and Max knew that the doctor felt bad.
His eyes automatically filled with tears. Knowing that his sister didn't make it broke him. " Mist! Das ist alles meine Schuld. Wenn ich das verdammte Auto einfach stehen gelassen hätte, hätte sie es geschafft!!" He was yelling so loud that multiple doctors came into the room.
The doctors didn't say anything when they came into the room they just stood there and looked at him with sympathetic eyes. They knew he felt bad and they knew that he thought it was his fault.
As the days went on, Max realized that his sister's death wasn't his fault. The doctors where nice to him and he found a new family that lives him. By the time he turned 20 he was already dating a girl name Alice. "Hey love?" Alice said from across the room. There was no answer so she assumed that he went to visit his sister's grave.
*5 years later*
Max is now 25 and Alive is 24. They got married a year ago and now have a baby girl. Little did they know that their lives we're gonna change just by having a kid.
During the next few weeks Max stayed home with Alice and the baby. "Love? Have you see the baby's bottle?" Max asked. There was no answer from Alice which worries him because she usually answers him. He got up and went to search for Alice but found the baby and Alice sitting on the floor in the garage. They both looked lifeless so he ran over to see if they were alive or not. When he got over to them he noticed that the baby wasn't breathing. They never came up with a name for the baby so they never know what to call her. Alice on the other hand looked as if she had been crying for a few hours nonstop. After a while Max took Alice and the baby inside and laid Alice on the couch and laid the baby in her crib.
After a while he heard the baby crying and noticed Alice wasn't on the couch anymore
What confused him is that he was sitting on the couch with Alice the whole time, and not once did he notice or feel her move off the couch. He got up to go check on them but once he got to the room they just disappeared into thin air. He collapsed onto the floor not knowing what to do. He thought if calling the police and reporting them as missing but he realized that he can't do that. He can't file a missing persons report until they have been missing for at least 48 hours. However, he couldn't wait that long so he set out to find them himself. In about 2 hours he got tired of looking and went back home. When he entered the house Alice was sitting on the couch with the baby. He was so confused but as he approached them the disappeared into thin air once again.
*2 days later*
It's been 2 days since Alice and the baby have gone missing so he decided to file a missing persons report. However, when he tried to the police station informed him that they had found Alice and the baby both dead by the lake yesterday morning. Max broke into tears wondering how this could have happened. "How could this have happened. They were only gone for 2 days" he thought to himself
He hadn't been this upset since his sister died. "warum hätte ich sie nicht auch beschützen können, wie ich es versprochen habe!?" He yelled out loud scaring a few of the officers around him. As the officers tried to pick him up off the floor he fought back. He was than arrested for assaulting an officer. Max of course thought it was unfair but he didn't fight back and just went along with it. Little did the officers know that he was an escape artist when it came to bars and locks. Remembering how he broke free at the science lab or whatever it was, he couldn't quite remember. Just remembering how he got free made him even more confident in himself that he would get out in no time. "I wonder. How am I gonna get the keys from that officers desk without getting cought" he thought to himself
He then saw the opportunity to grab the keys while the guards and police were in a meeting. "The guards and cops are so stupid" he thought to himself. "They just leave me here expecting me not to try anything stupid" he once again thought
He has always wondered why they were so stupid
Not only did he wonder why they are stupid he also wondered what he was gonna do once he got the keys. However, as soon as he reached over to grab the keys he was hit with something. He looked over to see another inmate with a metal bar in his hand. "Wofür war das!?" He yelled. The man just stood there and pointed at one of the guards that was coming out of the meeting room. "Oh sorry. I thought you did that to start something." He apologized to the man. "You're good, you're good. I get that alot if I'm being honest with you." The man said. However, as soon as the man talked to him, Max recognized him right away. It was his dad! His dad had been arrested a few days before his 10th birthday and had been in jail ever sence. He doesn't remember what his dad did but all he knows is that his dad is in here for life. "Dad!?" Max said a bit surprised. "Shit, i was hoping you wouldn't recognize me." His dad said. At that point the guards had come back from the meeting and took max to another cell on the other side of the station. He didn't complain as he didn't want to be anywhere near his dad. His father never treated him right. Even as a kid his father always abused him and treated him like he was trash.
However, as the guards were taking Max to the other cell on the other side of the station his dad yelled " good to see you kid!" even tho it didn't sound like he meant it. "Man, why can't my father leave me alone" he thought to himself. He never could stand his father. All he ever did was yell at Max for no apparent reason.
*2 years later*
After 2 long years of being in prison he was finally released. Knowing that his family was already dead he had went home not knowing what to do. However, when he walked into his house he saw a figure that looked alot like his wife. Not knowing what to do he ran out of the house terrified and confused."*There is no way I just saw her. She's dead.*" He thought to himself. After seeing the figure he went to the park for a walk to clear his mind. Even tho his wife and daughter were dead he still went to the park often because it brings back happy but sad memories.
Knowing that he may never get married again he just went home. He knew that the figure was most likely still there but he didn't care. All he wanted to do was go home and not he bothered but that isnt possible white the figure in the house. All the figure did while he was home was bother him. He tried so many ways to get rid of the figure but it was no use. No matter what he did he couldn't get her to leave him alone. However, as soon as he left the house for the day to look for a job the figure followed him and never came back.
"what happened to the figure? She always follows me around but she isn't here anymore" he thought to himself. Now that the figure was gone it was much more boring around the house. However, that didn't last long because another figure showed up that he didn't recognize. This figure however was more rude than the last one. He had tried to get ride of it but simply couldn't. This figure was more stubborn than the last figure. "Ugh! Why won't this figure leave like the last one!?" He thought even though he knew thinking it wouldn't help the situation.
