I woke up in my room where I had started off the day. The soft padded floors and walls didn't bring any comfort though as I sat up to find my chest hurt more then it had before with every beat of my heart I felt like my chest would implode. I began to squirm around on the floor in pain. After about an hour the pain faded to a dull ache and I was able to move around I sat down on the same couch I had early this morning and began to think out what had happened
"I was just fine all day then Sam kicked me and I got mad...then what happened?"
I asked myself out loud
"your true colors showed through"
a voice said. It seemed to be coming from the glass in the high roof, I stood up and looked around
"what do you mean?"
I asked to whoever had just spoken to me. The voice spoke as if it was hinting at something I already knew
"your purpose is to destroy. How do you think we knew you would be able to accomplish this goal?"
I felt a knot tie up in my stomach as I spoke carefully
"I'm not sure but obviously you are."
I said as I stood up prepared for something to happen. I was right as the glass up high began to open reveling five people standing in it looking down at me. A man with slicked back bright blond hair stepped up and stated very calmly
"Samantha has already explained to you that you are not the same as the other subject, this is-"
I cut him off as I jumped forward in fury and yelled
"THEY HAVE NAMES!"
He brushes this away as if it were nothing and continued speaking
"as I was saying this is because you were special to us from the beginning. You son are a very important being"
I stood there not just frozen in fury but a hint of fear. Why was I scared? I had no idea what was scaring me was it what I thought he would say. Or something else? He cleared his throat to get my attention an said
"it's time we show you what you are, your purpose, and your new training."
I stilled myself from breaking out in a fit of rage and stood straight
"then let's get a move on"
I say calmly as a part of the wall opens on hinges hidden inside the wall.
"Step into the hall we will meet you there"
the man is smiling now as if he's proud of his child. I snicker at him and slowly walk outside. It takes ages for the various men and women to walk into the hall with me and a idea sparks inside my head.
"Sam I want to see Sam before we go on with any of this. I need to say I'm sorry"
they all laugh at me and begin to get angry. I slam my fist into the concrete wall to my right and unexpectedly it cracks. I stand there in pure disbelief as four sets of eyes look on in fear and one pair of almost fluorescent blue eyes looks on in pride. The blond haired man is clapping
"good show boy"
he gives a light chuckle and sighs
" I suppose we could give you some time with Samantha in the medical ward"
I feel the knot in my stomach loosen slightly as a small smile forms on my face. It takes ten minutes of walking down the damp gray hallway a door thrown in at random here and there before we reached a white door with a Red Cross on it and the man with blond hair opened the door slowly. I notice that the whole walk here not one of the other people said anything they just seemed to watch me every step and every breath I took they were watching like Hawks on their prey. It's a very large room that stretches a little ways out with a plethra of machines and gadgets that I'm sure do something medical.
"She's in room seventeen. Well wait in the hall"
the blond haired man says
"you trust me enough to leave me alone in here?"
I say not turning to look at him.
"I trust you know that it's unwise to go out on a full fledge rampage through here."
He says calmly I chuckle
"your not wrong"
I say as I start down the hall he yells as to make sure I hear him over the distance
"make sure you tell her that Joshua says hi."
I stop dead in my tracks I swear I can feel his toothy grin burning a hole through my head. I steel my neves and continue to walk. I count the rooms as I walk
"seven,eight,nine"
i stop for a moment even I can hear the furry in my voice
"why do I get so angry so quickly,and why can't I ever calm myself down?".
I hear footsteps and I turn around to see nothing, then like a needle piercing a balloon a voice whispers in my ear
"because your one of us."
I spin around and throw a punch but nothing is there and I stand there in disbelief as a overwhelming sense of confusion crashes over me.
"That same voice.."
I say to myself quietly I shake my head and keep walking
"ten,eleven,twelve"
I get to the seventeenth door and open it slowly. She looks up slowly and even after earlier she smiles at me like nothing ever happened
"glad to see one of us didn't end up in here"
she says softly
"how could I...everyone's in here because of me.."
She shakes her head and laughs cautiously
"you know I put Robert in here his first day? We all get hurt and we all hurt each other, shit happens Thomas it's alright."
I nod
"so did I do any damage?"
She looks and me and raises and eyebrow
"duh"
she lifts her shirt enough for me to see her stomach. Right where I had kicked her is a 7 inch wide bruise. The black and blue tie dye on her stomach brings tears to my eyes
"hey no crying have you even checked your back? It's probably just as bad as my stomach."
She says reassuringly I lift my shirt and turn to a near by mirror. Nothing it's like she never even touched me. She shrugs
"I don't mind Thomas really. I've had worse and I'm actually proud of you that you were able to take me out first try."
She says smiling again. Her smile makes my heart skip a beat and I feel my veins fill with ice as a million different emotions explode through my body at one time.
"They said I can come talk to you as long as I want so I'll stay here for a little while if that's ok with you?"
I say shyly
"that's fine by me but the nurse did just give me a shot that she says can make me fall asleep so I may not be awake long."
I nod and say
"that's ok if you fall asleep Ill go ahead and go and come back as soon as I can."
She smiles and nods and points to a chair right next to her bed
"have a seat cowboy."
I smile and raise an eyebrow
"cowboy?"
She giggles and says
"would you prefer to be called punk?"
I shake my head
"no I like cowboy it's got a ring to it."
I sit down next to her for about twenty minutes we talk about her time here and how she ever spent a year and a half alone. I can see her start to get drowsy
"would you like me to leave so you can sleep?"
I ask Quietly
"no. Please stay till I'm asleep."
She says and grabs my hand intertwining our fingers she looks up at me and says
"I want you to be the last thing on my mind before I fall asleep."
I nod and smile
"ok Sam I'll stay."
I watch her and in less then a minute her eyes are closed her breathing long and deep she's sound asleep. I know I should go but I don't I sit there looking at her. I snap back to reality and slowly pull my hand away and stand up I walk to the door and open it slowly so I don't wake her up and slip outside. I ease the door back shut and exhale softly I turn to the door to the hall, I steel my nerves once more and I begin my walk back. I approach the door and I can hear the men and women talking in the other side. One woman says
"he needs to be run through the energy stimulations we need him to control his energy if we hope to have him Chanel it into a weapon"
I hear a familiar mans voice, the blond haired man
"all in do time first we need him to tame his emotions and utilize them, then we can work on more complex things."
I open the door and step out the blond man look at me and gives that toothy grin that makes me want to vomit
"I trust everything is ok?"
I snicker at him and snap
"fine and dandy lets get a move on I want this over with"
he smiles and nods
"of course, fallow me if you will"
and we begin our walk.
