Them

I felt sick, sick of pretending I scarped the lockers as I made my way to the school toilets, two girls came out shooting me a smile, to polite. When I entered the toilets I set my bag down checked all the stalls, and checked if the corridors where clear

The toilets looked clean. Not a spot of dirt dared to fall upon the sanitized tables. I quickly pulled out my contact holder and the solution from my bag, I had to be quick. I blinked a couple times before I got to work, my fingers felt acidic on my eyelids. I looked in the mirror, I scanned my outfit. A simple black skirt with a pale yellow school shirt with the Logo 'Unit 5 Institution For Young Ladies'. My hair chestnut wavy hair fell past my shoulders I grabbed it up and took a whiff. Smells like Apples, just like my dad.

As looked into the contact solution I saw the reaction take place the contact would be broken down and the put back to together a number of times. When I finally met my own eyes in the crisp clean mirror a weird emotion took over my body.

"We've got a present for you Asia" My mum said pulling out a nicely wrapped gift box from behind her, my dad took a seat next to her smiling from ear to ear. "It's your 10th birthday, which means it's time for you to become a big girl" My mum said pushing the gift towards me. She grasped my dad's arm smiling brightly. I took a big gulp of air before opening the 'gift' to see an injection wrapped in a red bow, my favourite colour. The bright silver liquid dancing amongst each other.

"Mom, I'm scared" I said looking at the injection with fearful eyes.

"Asia" my mum said reaching over taking my hand in hers just like she would do when we were at the park. "It's for the best, you don't want to be the odd one and out and get sick do you?" She said with a hopeful eyes.

At that moment I wanted to get up and run away but my Mothers gaze held me in place. Do it for your parents.

I was snatched back to reality by the sound of the toilets door opening, I snatched up my stuff and ran into one of the stools pulling the seat down and standing on it, I listened to the persons every movement contemplating whether I should do it in here. As time went my I looked into the solution watching the reaction die down just like my love for humanity.

As soon as I heard footsteps leaving leave the toilets I got out there and got to work once again. I poured more solution into the contact holder waiting for the chemical reactions take place, suddenly a stool door opened, a girl walking out adjusting her skirt, then looked up locking eyes with my eyes.

Her face remained calm until she tried to make a dart for the door. I grabbed her hair making her body have a sharp impact with the floor just like serial killers knock down the enemy. I pulled her into a stool checking her pulse, it was faint but still there. I put in my contact lens leaving the school premise.

I was on the run, I knew eventually they would come after me. When I got home wasn't wasting anytime I changed my clothes packed an overnight bag, I took a shower and a gun filled with bullets. I looked around my apartment one last time before I dropped a lit match onto the carpet. I watched as the fire explored my apartment.

As I entered Lee Min Ho airport, I looked around and saw men dressed in white looking around. Most likely for me. I pulled my hat down and made my way to the desk.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The flight attendant asked. I asked for a flight to ticket to Japan, lucky there was only one seat left. God may just be on my side.

As we boarded the plane a nauseas feeling swept over me as the announcer spoke.

"Due to some miss-understanding we have to check all the eyes of the passengers" everyone talked amongst themselves as I saw men with a small bottle spraying everyone's eyes. I got up excusing myself. A boy about my age was being tackled to the floor he kept resisting and eventually gave up they injected him with some chemicals causing him to fall asleep.

They dragged him to same room, I waited for the flight attendant to say something.

"The suspect has been found thank you for your co-operation" I froze in my thinking.

There are people like me out there somewhere.
