Who am I?

POV: Axel

We're all sitting in the basement getting comfortable. Nyx, who was sitting crossed legged on the carpet, was wearing a look of suspicion. Amber and Talia were sitting on the beanbags looking nervous, but relieved.

Me and Ajax sit across from them on the couch, trying to figure out how to start the conversation.

"So.." I begin hesitantly. "Would you guy's, start from the top?"

Nyx takes a breath and begins.

"I'll explain."

"We-we come from the year 6084. I-I know it's hard to believe but there's more. A virus has taken over Earth, and there's no hope for humanity, except us and the others. They call us immunes. They experiment on us, trying to find a cure. The Creator's in charge of the laboratory, and he's cruel."

Silence.

"We-there was chaos, an alarm sounded, and we struggled to return to our cells. One of the scientists dropped this device."

She holds out a metal box, with a large red button in the center. I reach out to grab it, before Nyx pulls it away swiftly.

"We still can't trust you fully, and besides this device is pretty unpredictable. It took us thousands of years into the past."

"How do you expect us to believe you? Can you prove it?"

Nyx rolls her eyes. "You're an idiot if you think we can prove it. I'm not here to prove anything to you. You offered us safe shelter, and we didn't come here to be badgered with questions."

I nod, agreeing reluctantly as she continues.

"Talia here-" Nyx glared at her. "Pressed the red button on it-" "It was on accident!" she objected. "Whatever. Anyways it took us to this time, and we don't know how to get back."

Ajax holds up his hands. "We believe you." I look at him incredulously. "Bro, have you gone mad to?"

He shakes his head. "No, but their story makes sense. I always knew humanity would end up in the dogs one day, or another."

Silence.

"Your right." I nod.

Amber sighs. "Thank you for believing us, but...we're not sure if we really want to go back."

Nyx looks at her blankly. "Amber, you can't be serious."

"Nyx, how could you even think of returning to the virus? We have a chance of FREEDOM."

"B..but, we don't know anything about this time period."

"We can help you." Ajax offers. He turns to me. "We should help them, I feel horrible." "Fine." I mutter.

"You guys can stay here, and we can figure out how to help you in the meantime. So consider yourselves our guest!" he declares, smiling.

"Thank you." Talia whispers.
