Chapter 24: Start All Over

hey guys!

___________________________________________________________________________________

Recap: "Hank...remember when you smelt the blood when i hurt myself?" i asked.

"yes" Hank said.

"what if...what if that's what they did, maybe I'm part beast?" i asked, glancing at him.

I hear his breath hitch and his heart beat start up. I look at him, he's surprised, i suppose he never considered that fact, that i could be part animal.

Kassidy's POV

I woke up to this panicking feeling coming over me, i couldn't breath. i hear the machines going crazy and my body jerking. My eyes roll in the back of my head, i can't do it...what can't i do? Tears go down my cheeks as I'm paralyzed. My body is trembling and i feel something wet coming out of my nose. 

I try to speak, but i can't...i can only whimper, a pathetic whimper. My eyes rake the walls for an escape. I just feel like i need to go, get away from here. I hear foot steps, who is it? i can't think of anyone coming for me. i flinch at the thought, was it Dr. Honz? What was it?

The doors open and a man comes in, he's wearing a lab coat, making me instantly freak out. I start trembling and the man jogs over to me, checking my vitals. i try to get away from him, who was he? why was he here? 

"Kassidy! Kassidy! it's me, calm down, your blood pressure is way up, come on" the man whispered. 

He sounded so sincere, but i can't believe him, I won't. i wretch my body away from him, falling off the bed. i look around, i was trapped, oh god, i was trapped. i started taking quick breaths, trying to calm down. i hear more foot steps and i grip my ears, it's too loud. 

"don't come in!" The man shouted.  

Tears goes down my cheeks and my body racks with sobs, it's too much, too much. i rip the needles out of my arm and i threw them far away from me. I start grabbing random things and throwing them at the man. He dodged every single one, making me pissed. 

The man lunges at me and knocks me on my back. he grips my wrist, breathing hard. His glasses are off and he's straddling my hips. I glare at him, trying to get him off of me. I bare my teeth at him and he tightens his hold. I can't help it, i know he's stronger then me, so I'll just have to play dumb. I let tears fall and whimper softly. The man looks surprised and he lets go of me, making me smirk. i flip us over and straddle him this time. 

"tell me where i am" i hissed.

"y-you're in the infirmary" The man said quickly.

"why?" i hissed.

"look, Kassidy, please, i know you...please. calm down and let me up" the man said quietly.

i searched his pretty blue eyes and swallowed harshly. w...why? who do i feel like i can trust him? no, no you can't trust him...Dr. Honz will be mad....i slowly climb off him and he carefully sits up with his hands raised.

"how do you know me?" i asked quietly. 

"I'm your friend...or the closest thing you have" the man said.

"what's your name?" i asked quietly.

"Hank McCoy" Hank said softly. 

For some reason, tears went down my cheeks and i sniffled. i bring my fingers to my cheeks and feel tears. i don't understand why I'm crying...or why I'm so emotional, i would have gotten fifty lashings for this kind of behavior. 

"i...i never had a friend before" i said quietly.

"well, I'm your friend and so is the other people that live here...Kassidy, you're apart of our family" Hank said softly.

"f....family?" i whispered. 

"yeah" Hank said softly.

It was quiet and i stare blankly at the floor, trying to figure out what to do next...the last thing i remember was planning on escaping...but how long was that? who were the other people that lived here? did they rescue me? or did they take me in? So many questions running through my head, and i doubt i will get all the answers. 

"how long have i been here?" i asked quietly. 

"here? for a few months...but how long you've escaped? i would guess almost a year?" Hank suggested. 

i nod my head and tale a shaky breath. there were knocks on the door and i flinch from the sound and Hank carefully rested his hand on top of mine. i waited for the memory to come up...but it never happened. i look up at Hank confused and he cleared his throat. 

"when we rescued you...about a day or so ago, they injected you with something and....it replaced your mutation with a different one" Hank said.

"...why? their mission was to make me the perfect human..." i said quietly.

"perfect human?" Hank asked. 

"they wanted me to be flawless" i said softly.

Hank was quiet and he nods his head in thought and i bit my bottom lip nervously, i wasn't so sure why i trusted this man so much, but i did...and it gave me the most relief and comfort. Hank stood up and held out his hand and i slowly took it, still expecting any of my memories to go to him...but nothing. i stood up and sat back down on the hospital bed. Hank rehooked me up and started looking at a few things.

"so...what is my new ability?" i asked.

"I'm not sure...your hearing, sight, and smell are very enhanced....like an animal for example, i need to take a few more samples of your blood and test it" Hank said. 

"oh" i said.

i held out my arm, waiting for him to take blood, this isn't new, they do this regularly at the place i was held at for all the years I've been there.  Hank took a few samples of my blood actually and it left me slightly, but barely woozy. Then the scent hits me, it's oaky, smells like cigars, but also burban and rum. i hear the door handle twist open and the one man I never thought I'd see again.

"Erik?" i whimpered.
