Chapter 8"It's not because of you!" Ash said raising his voice a bit. "I wouldn't even be here is my sister didn't force me to. I would help you again even if I knew it would happen. You never did anything wrong. Nobody deserves to be taken away from their family."
"You sound like you know how it feels." I said. Ash's face grew pale then he closed his eyes and it went back to normal.
"Good night, Rachel." He said ending the conversation.
"Good night," I said.
That night didn't pass with out constant nightmares of Ash getting hurt.
I winced as Trips fist pounded into Ash's stomach. He winced and crimson blood ran from his mouth. 'Why, Rachel.' He whispered and the horrifying scene faded.
I woke up with a scream. "Are you okay?" Ash asked.
"Yeah." I said, happy to hear his soothing voice. "Just a nightmare." I added. I felt him nod and his breath steady.Trip walked in. "Good your awake." His deep voice said. As usual I followed him down stairs and into the kitchen to eat. From there he lead me to the testing cite.
"Test 4: speed," the monotone female voice said. This time the white room was a maze.
"So now I'm your rat?!" I yell out hoping that someone will hear me. Then a deep bark sounds behind me. I turn around slowly to see a big black dog, slobber running out of its mouth onto the cold white floor.
It leaped at me and I ran as fast as I could, it never caught up, but never fell behind. Constant barks reminded me that I wasn't alone.
I ran around a wall and came to a dead end. I felt a bit of bile rise up my throat. 'This is the end.' I thought morbidly.
The dog came around the corner and stood in an attack stance. I got ready for when it would pounce.
I stared into its black soulless eyes and though about my last moment. Would I go down to a vicious dog? Or will I fight and win?
The dog pounced aiming for my throat. I dodged ever so slightly and sprinted behind it. I ran faster then ever. I couldn't feel my numb feet. I looked down to see them moving fast. I ran around another corner and saw the exit. A bark and a low growl sounded behind me. I ran as fast as I could.
Then I made a fetal mistake. I felt my foot go out from underneath me. My body slammed into the cold hard ground. I gasped as a result of getting the wind knocked out of me.
The dog leaped over and hovered over me. "Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?" I taunted. "Stop with the whole 'staring deeply into my eyes.'" The dog growled again.
Quickly I pulled my leg up, slamming my knee into its soft black body. I pushed him off me and sprinted recovering fast from when I triped. I ran out of the maze and was back in the white room again?
"Test 4: complete." The voice sounded and the noxious green fume filled the room. I breathed the scent less gas in and prepared my self for the hard fall to the ground.I woke up in the bedroom and looked around. Ash wasn't there. The room felt uncomfortably empty with out him. I got up and sat on the firm couch and waited for Ashes return.
