Lost

Chapter 2 - The Search

That night, I had difficulty sleeping, when I checked the time, it was already 2 in the morning. However, I heard familiar voices out in the corridor. And I was pretty damn sure one of them was Dante.

Dante : "We can't let her know just yet, if she knows, we'll be damned."
? : "Can you stop stating the obvious? If she finds out the scientist are gonna come for her."
Dante : "What are you talking about? Either way they're gonna come for her, but we can't let her know why right now. At least, until they come."
? : "Are you crazy!? If she doesn't know now, she can't train herself, she'll be a mess when they come. Are you gonna help her?"
Dante : "That goes without saying. Lynx, I know you're my older brother but we can't tell her. I like her, I really do-"
Lynx : "Then you have to tell her. End of discussion."

I, at that point was sick of eavesdropping. I had to know what was happening. I confronted them.

Me : "Hey guys. What's happening? What's with all these telling me, not and scientists?

Under Dante's breath, I could hear him say "Oh for fucks sake".

Me : "I may not be aware of the situation but I'm not stupid. You guys are brothers?"
Lynx : "Look, we're about to tell you something new. Something you've never heard before. But please, do not freak out. The last thing we need is for you to freak the fuck out."

Dante : "Elith, I've known you for 4 years. I would never betray you but honestly, I've known about you all your life. I was sent by-"
Lynx : "Elith. ELITH!"

I blacked out. I completely blacked out. I was unconscious for about 15 minutes. When I woke up, I woke up to a sight of an unfamiliar surrounding. It looks like a hospital, but it looks like its not.

Lynx : "Elith, it all may not piece together right now, but you are in our secret base."
Dante : "We all here have abilities. Some people here, specifically, me, have the same ability as you. Since you found out about your ability. I'll be the one training you."
? : "For now, just get some rest."

I sit up, startled.

Me : "Who are you?"
Dante : "It's okay, he's our leader."
? : "Oh, how rude of myself. My name is Mark."

I could not care what was happening. I just wanted to get some sleep. I'm sure you're wondering how did I black out. When I knew about my ability, it immediately activates since it triggers my memory. It triggers my memory, and my brain can't take it so it blacked out and stopped working. Apparently, since young, I've been injected with a implant, by my own parents.

Mark : "Your parents were great people, my condolences. They, were the MVP of our batch, until they retired."

With that sentence, I fell asleep. I was oblivious and vulnerable. Like, literally anyone could just come in and just stab me and I wouldn't even know. Welp, who would have known, someone actually did. I was stabbed somewhere where I could only lost that much amount of blood to lose consciousness. I was put in a sack, dragged all the way to a van. I regained conscious in the van and it halt to a stop, I was flung all the way to the other end of van. Then, I lost all consciousness again. 

When I woke up, I was tied to a chair, hands behind my back, I know, a typical cliche but I was really in this scenerio. I struggled but not much progress was made. 

? : "Oh, you've woken up?" 
He said with a sick smile on his face. 
? : "Just so you know, my name's Favan."

I stood there, stunned. That name was familiar, one that was really nostalgic. Favan, was my primary school friend, we had a group of friends all close to each other, Favan, being one of them. He didn't necessarily talk to me much but when we talked, we would laugh a lot and there was no resentment, no hate. 

~~18 Year Ago~~

Favan : "Isn't it crazy how we're all graduating from primary school and that we're gonna part ways soon?"
Cons : "Yeah, and some of us may never contact each other again, but when you look back on the memories, it's so nostalgic."
Waiyne : "And when you think of it, you smile like an idiot, knowing you'll never relive those days again."
Elith : "Y'all gonna make me cry like a baby, stop it!"

Just as when we finished talking, we heard the bell ring. Recess was over and we needed to head back to class. Us, being the lucky bunch to have the same classes went back to class immediately, not wanting to be scolded by the discipline master and get detention. 

I remember, the last day we walked through that very door, I never contacted Favan anymore and, neither did he. For some reason, he disconnected us with him, acting like we didn't even meet before. Like, total strangers. 

~~Back to present~~

Elith : "Why Favan? Why did you kidnap me? What do you want with me? Why did you cut off all ties with us?"

So many questions, unanswered.

Favan : "Well, old friend. I do not have time to answer all those questions now but perhaps if I have the time, I'll answer them all. I am not that stupid of a person, like all those cliche villains, to tell you why I kidnapped you. However, what I can tell you is, you have something I want. Now, sit still."

After I was told to sit still, this two buff guys came in, with surgical masks and a couple of syringes. Then, another thinner one came out from within the shadows. I struggled as he tried to draw blood out of me but, it was of no use. All I could to was watch the cold steel needle protrude my skin, and another one, and another one. After, the last needle, a sudden surge of adrenaline shot up my body. I've never felt so alive. So...powerful.
