Switched

Leaving

There's no proof of this, it's only one of the government's many lies. Never would i have thought one of their elaborate schemes would try to intice me.

I'm still me, I'm still Kimber. Yes, my skin felt stitched on tight and out of place,but my mind was still turning the same gears it had before.
Nothing has changed.

The blonde girl on the card was Annabel, not me. I had brown hair and a straight nose in the center of my face. Annabel looked too delicate to ever pass as me.

"You will pose as Annabel Mosley, and you will do as we say of her until we are done with you. "

"Go ahead and try."

I scoff, holding my ground.
Or atleast trying not to let the ground hold me tight in place. I needed to be the one in charge.

"If you tell anyone of what we've done, there will be more severe consequences."

"I won't need to tell them, because they'll already know I'm not her. Nobody will believe it."

Junis gave me another one of his cold grins, chuckeling, and then whipping his brow maniacally.

"Not untill you do."

The evil man grows as his power devoured me in his glare. Like the blinding sun causing me to squint.
I then realized the room itself was producing the hazey light filling the room.
Maybe i would drown a third time, only not by a liquid. But by this milky white mist.

Junis starts to back away, leaving to the doors. He doesn't say a word, only takes one last look at me.
I might of thought that maybe, just maybe, a single look of pity, or guilt even, would be given.
But no.
He was hungry,
And not even close to satisfied.

With a flick of his wrist he throws ID into my arms, I hold it tight.

I tried to catch a glimpse of the government quarters outside, but it was masked by the haze.

The door began to close, as i once again, accepted the fact that the air was limited.

But as the door shut, they weren't the same smooth marble as before, now a clear glass, almost reflective.

It began to reveal a cell identical to mine. There sitting was a girl. Beat, mentally, physically, in everyway possible. I felt somewhat understanding.

Oh, i see. Let me whither at the sight of other prisoners.

I won't react on the acount of Junis, whoever this girl is, we've seen the same things.

My fingers twitch, and i reach up my hand to wave.

The girl does it at the exact same time.

My hand freezes in mid air, the girl on the other side mimicks me.

She shares the same confused look in her eyes.

I know who am.

"I am Kimber." I yell fearfully at the glass.

He lips mouth the same words.

"I am Kimber!" I know shriek, the girl on the other side copies me once more.

She's not Kimber, she can't be me. She has blonde wispy hair that falls over her shoulders, a face with dark arched eye brows and a button nose. A mouth that looked like it used to smile, one that I never had. a girl with broad shoulders and long legs.

As she looks me dead in the eyes, one thing that didn't change. Electric green. Hypnotizing, fearless. Mine.

I'm looking into a mirror.

Sadness and fear wash over me as i watch my tears fall .

I'm drowning.

My feet are pulled up and they walk to the back of the room, where a cracked crescent of light breaks throug like an egg shell.

As the crack widens i start to see, it's the outside.
People, of all kinds, walking, talking, laughing . The thought dawned on me that maybe i could join them.

I soon found the atmosphere around had changed. I was being pushed, experiencing life as I had before.

The time before had all been a bad dream, nothing but hallucinations, sleep walking at most.

Now music played as the sound of life filled my ears once again.
I walked the streets dodging carts and crowdes.
A playfull giggle left my mouth as i congratulate myself. Junis, he thought he could take away my life. But every thing was normal.

I started to spin and play like a child.
My dizziness twirled me to a stumbling hault as i crash into a woman passing by.

"I'm sorry!" I excuse myself politely.

The woman doesn't keep walking, she stopes and looks me straight in the eyes.

"Annabel? There you are! We're going to be late for work!"

The woman grabs my fist as i soon become dazed.

I am Kimber.

But for some reason my head told me ,

I am Annabel.
