The Outcasts

Pull the Trigger

We all woke up. "How many fucking times do I have to wake up in a containment unit? This is getting old."  Garrett stood there along with Grace. "I see you all adjusted to the program nicely. The effects should show nicely"  I pounded on the glass. "What did you do to us?!" Jessabell was crying into her hands. But then it all sunk in. My eyes went pitch black, I could feel fangs en-long in my mouth. "Your program,Damien. You can finally be the monster you were meant to be. And you can start by killing your friends. You've killed people before. This should be  no different."  A sly smirk sweeping across Garrett's face. The more I saw his face, the more I wanted to kill him. I let all of my mind slip away as I hit the glass separating us.Hitting it harder and could feel it cracking under my fist. "Now Now boy, you wouldn't want to do anything drastic" he said while stepping away. Clenching my fist harder I smashed the glass open and jumped at him But Grace got in the way. "Damien! Stop! You don't know what he's doing. He's just trying to help you. He's trying to help us all!"  I cracked my neck and looked straight at her. "By doing WHAT,Grace? Killing people?"  She just smiled the same same smile. I studied her face. Even though she smiled it had no feeling to it. It was emotionless. Grace had been brainwashed.  I pushed her out of the way and grabbed ahold of Garrett pushing him into the wall. "Damien" He whispered gripping onto my hands as my grip tightened. The others hid in fear. Grace stayed on the floor. I stared into the eyes of this man. They were stained with fear. That grin he always wore was gone. He gripped tighter onto my hands trying to pry them off of him. "Damien" Grace said. "You don't have to do this. He can help us. He can help YOU" I glanced at her. "He made me this way Grace. And he made you that WAY. Can't you see? Can't you see what he did to you? Think about it Grace. This isn't you"  Her big purple eyes stared at me. She was trying to think about it. I looked back at Garrett, his face was turning blue  as he tried gasping for air. I let go of him and went over to Grace. I knelt over beside her and kissed her forehead. She was perfectly silent as her eyes went back to being their normal colour. I think I got Grace back. But then Garrett was right behind me with a gun.

"You could have stopped,Damien? You just always had to be so curious. Curiosity is what kills people" He held the gun to my head. I stared straight into his face. I could hear everyone crying. Especially Jessabell. "Damien! NO!"

And he pulled the trigger and fired.
