Strangers

the 49

i'm sitting on the ground listening to the piano music. i stare at my hands, i need to get out of here. i stand up and look at my window and see someone cleaning the room across from me. "hey! hey! where am i!" i yell, she ignores me. i need to get out.

i turn and look at the iv, i walk over to it grabbing it. i take it to the door and smash the camera, i hit the window breaking the glass. 

i reach out unlocking the door, as i remove my arm from the window i slit my arm on glass.

"fuck!" i push open the door and grab a piece of glass from the ground, i walk over to the other room and take off the persons mask. 

i hold the glass to her neck, "where are my friends!" i yell. "they're safe i promise!"

"take me to them!"

"please don't kill me" she begs. "if you want to live, take me to my friends" i state. i keep the glass up to her neck as we walk out of the room, "kaleigh they're not in danger" 

"how do you know my name?" i ask, "it was on your charts"

"how do they know my name!" 

"i don't know!" we walk over to an elevator and she moves her hands. "i don't think so" 

"i have- i have to grab my keycard" she says holding her keycard. i nod my head towards the scanner, she scans her keycard and i yank her away from the wall pushing her into the elevator.

"what floor are they one?"

"5" i hit the 5th floor button and i look and see a mirror in the elevator. i look at myself and shake my head, i move the girl over in front of the mirror.

the door opens and we walk through, i hear noises so we walk over to the noise. we stop in front of a room filled with people, laughing.

i stare at the people, "containment breach!" one lady yells. the girl slips out of my grip and sirens start. i stare at the people as they run covering their faces.

...

i look to the side and look at clarke, "who are these people?" she shurgs, "but don't say anything. we don't need them knowing anything about us" i nod, "did they already see you?" she nods. "yea, dante wallace i came in here before you. same injury"

"cutting your arm on the door window?" i ask she nods. i chuckle, suddenly the door opens up and people walk through.

"hello kaleigh, how is your arm?" a woman asks. i don't respond, "not much of a talker is she?"

"a skill picked up from the savages, no doubt. that's fine, maya has something to say first anyway" a man says. i look at the girl, maya.

"you were the next one to be cleared through quarantine, another 10 minutes and you would've-"

"ahem" the man cuts her off. "i'm not pressing charges"

"thank you, maya. you can get your treatment now" treatment? i look at clarke and she shrugs.

maya walks away with the woman, "restraints aren't necessary" he says. "yes, mr. president"

the man tales off my restraints and i look over at maya, "dante wallace" he holds his hand out. it looks dirty, i look at it. "oil paint. that's right, you're an artist too" i stand up looking at him. "who told you that?"

"your people did, they also said that you were their leader. looks like you and i have a lot in common, kiddo" i stare at him, "where's my bracelet"

"i'm sorry but we can't let contaminated items inside mount weather. we couldn't risk it. our protocol is very strict kaleigh, we prioritize saftey over sentimentality"
