This is our last day in the Bahamas. It's been a fantastic experience! Swimming with dolphins can be super fun! Steve and i decide to take a walk since our flight is living in 6 hours. We start walking in the beach but Steve asked if i wanted to explore the city. We were walking when i suddenly felt as if we were being watched. This is so creepy!!
- Steve?- i said.
- Yes?- he said looking at me.
- I know it's kind of dumb and maybe I'm being paranoid, but i feel like we're being watched-
- You do?- he started looking around, - I don't see anyone. But maybe we should head back to the hotel-
- Yeah, that's a terrific idea-
We start walking to the direction we came from when suddenly someone jumps and attacks Steve. I stand there paralyzed while Steve fights back.
- Kat run! Get help!- Steve screams at me.
I want to run and het help, i really do, but my feet are glued to the ground. The man overpowers Steve and throws him to the floor, Steve tries getting up but falls right back. The man that was attacking Steve turns and looks at me with a predatory glare. That's when i notice the unnatural green glow of his eyes, his enormous built, and the gun that was tucked in his pants. As he start getting closer he takes out a gun that looks more like a tranquilizer gun than a real one. He points it at me and that's when my feet finally comply and start moving. I run as fast as i can, and suddenly i feel a small prick on my neck. I touch it only to find a needle stuck in my neck, i take it out but its already done its job. I start feeling drowsy and fall to the floor. The man is walking towards me, the last thing i see before i black out is Steve jumping onto the man's back.
.......
I open my eyes and all i can see is white, i sit up and start looking around. This kind of looks like a hospital, but I can't remember anything. Why would I be in a hospital? Where are my parents? God, this can't be happening! This were supposed to be the perfect vacations, where Steve would realize he loved me and we'll live happily ever after. Oops! I definitely shouldn't be thinking this on a time like this. Ok... So back to what's important. I finally look around the room and notice a man standing by the door. He's bald and friendly looking. I guess I'll call him baldy.
- You're finally awake- said the man.
- Who are you?- I questioned.
- My name is Clark Mitchell- answered baldy, i mean Clark.
- Where am i?- i said getting panicked.
- You don't need to worry, you're safe-
- What happened?- i can't remember anything, all i remember is a walk with Steve and then nothing. Steve! Where is he?
- Where's Steve?- i asked.
- He's safe-
- That doesn't really answer anything-
- Oh, feisty. Just like your mother-
- How do you know my mother?-
- I don't mean Laura-
And just like that, the air in my lungs got sucked out. Did he really mean my real mother? Did he know her? Wasn't she dead?
- H...How do you know my m...mother?-
- Well let's just say that's not my story to tell-
- Where are my parents?-
- I just tol-
- That's not what i meant, i meant my parents, the ones who have cared enough to raise me-
- They're safe, they knew what they were getting into when they took you in-
- What do you mean by that?-
- I think I already told you more than I should-
And with that he left. Just like that. I didn't get any answers, just more questions. Ugh! Why can't i just be normal!
.......
It's been two days since i arrived. I've been in this horrible hospital room, dying of boredom! I'm finally going to leave this room and meet whoever is behind this. I hear the door open and turn my head to see baldy stepping in.
- How are you?- he asked.
- Bored!- I answered.
- Well, then it's a good thing we're moving you in today-
- What do you mean?-
- You'll be informed in no time. For now, please  change into this clothes- he said, handing me a pair of gray sweatpants and a black tank top, -I'll be waiting outside, don't take long-
He stepped out and I started changing, this clothes were actually pretty comfy. I can't wait to get to the bottom of all this, just thinking about it gives me a headache.
- I'm done- i said opening the door.
- Great! Follow me!-
We walked down a long and narrow hallway, there were doors every 2 meters. We finally got to what kind of looked like a lobby, it had chairs, a couple of small tables and some magazines.
- Step right behind me, don't answer anything and do not pay attention to anyone-
- Ok- i said with a raised eyebrow.
We stepped into another long hallway, but this time it had windows, you could see some desks and people working on their computers. We step into an elevator and ride up to the 40th floor. God! This building is huge! We exit the elevator and come to a stop right outside a big wooden door. Baldy knocks and it is immediately opened by a young looking woman with bright blonde hair.
- Mr. Mitchell, come in, he's been expecting you- she said.
We walk inside and stop at yet another door, why would they need so many doors?! The lady knocks and a bald man with dark skin opens the door.
- About damn time!- he said.
- Mr. Branson, this is the girl- baldy said looking at me.
- She is?! I've been waiting for you!- said Mr. Branson.
- What's going on?- i asked.
- Please, take a seat. This might take some time- Mr. Branson said.
I sat down on a wooden chair by his desk.
- Well, were do you want me to start?-
- How about from the beginning?-
