Just One Little Lie

They did what now?

"I love you...." he whispered in my ear, and injected a syringe into my back.

When I woke up my arms were tied together behind my back. My lip was bleeding, and a part on my back burned like hell. I tried to move, but my legs felt like rocks. The room was cold and dark, but from what I could guess I wasn't in my 'cell' anymore. The memories were blurry, and I tried to remember what happened before. The warehouse. James. A chair. Jake.

Then it hit me. Jake betrayed me. Again. I was stupid enough to let him get into my brain. I believed every word he said. I really thought he loved me. My heart felt cold. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. Surprisingly I wasn't sad, or hurt. I was angry. So angry. That asshole made me believe him. He wanted me to trust him, only so he could hurt me again. No, I wasn't going to let anything else happen to me, or my family. I was ready to fight back.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't our little stupid Liv." The door opened and the light from outside was so bright I shut my eyes, and turned away.

"Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you," I didn't have to look at him to know that it was James. "Just kidding. I don't really care, but Jake doesn't want me to do anything to you."

"Well he doesn't have to protect me. I'm not some little kid," I tried to sound tough, but it kinda came out like I was a child that didn't get a cookie.

"I know. That's why I chose you."

"What do you mean? Chose me?"

"Oh, don't sound so surprised. You think I just took you, because you were cute? Which, I admit, probably was part of the reason, but no... My plan was a little bigger."
James sounded excited which honestly scared the heck out of me, but I knew if I let him see my fear, he already won.

"So... How long are you planning on keeping me here?"

"Oh, but we already used you. You've been unconscious for about 3 days. Everything's fine, so if you don't want to stay you can go." They did what now? 

"Used me for what? And I would really appreciate it if you could free me from these stupid handcuffs!"

James grinned and walked over to me. He sat down in front of me and crossed his legs. He didn't remove the handcuffs, but h was probably scared that I would do some pro karate stuff and run away.

"I can't tell you about our 'projects' just yet, but I can tell you about your future use with us. You probably didn't realize it, but this whole organization and planning is way bigger than any of us anticipated at first. You are not a he only one of your kind, but there aren't many. We thought that your brother would be more willing but he isn't as strong. Maybe your just stubborn, but as annoying as it is, it will save you in the end. Whoops, it's getting late. You are probably starving so let's get you out if those handcuffs and turn the light on!"

I was too shocked to do anything. I sat there while he unlocked my handcuffs, turned on the lights, and got a tray with food from outside. James but it on the table and left me alone with my thoughts.

They used me for some sort of experiment I suspected. He also said that there were more of my kind, whatever that meant. After he closed the door I realized that I was starving. I looked around the room. The walls were white and the carpet was a dark blue. It didn't look like much, but with a real bed, a little desk and a chair this was better than the cell I've been living in.

I finished my dinner? Which was the best thing I had to eat in forever. I was just about to stretch out in my be when things went wrong.
The first thing I noticed were the gunshots. Then the screams. And then the body falling against the door.

Ugh. I am soooo sorry I haven't published. I know, I know it's been over a month but I was just really busy. I'm going on a cruise this week where I won't have Internet, so I won't be able to upload another chapter till after April 10. I still hope you liked the chapter!
