It's cold, so cold. Your eyes flutter open and reveal you in a cold dark room. A thin blanket covers your lower half of your body but the rest of you is open to the cold air. You wear a thin tank top and pajama shorts. Your eyes catch a glimpse of something silver and you look down. Your arm.
You see a metal arm, with a red star on the bicep.
"Ahhhhh!" You scream quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone that may be around you. You lift up the arm, and it follows, just like it was your arm, and flex your fingers.
Quietly creeping out of your bed, you stand and grab the glass of water that is set on the table next to the bed. It crushes beneath your hands, and you realize you put too much pressure on it, and set it back down. You tiptoe across the room, and look out the door, which is solid metal except for a slight hole, which is covered with metal bars. The hallway is dark, like your room.
When you try to juggle the doorknob to get out, the door doesn't budge and you realize you are stuck in this cell with a metal arm and now a crushed plastic cup.
As you cross back to your bed, the door opens and you turn back to see a man standing there. He has dark brown hair that goes a little past his ears and piercing blue eyes. You see that his cheekbones and jawline are strong, and his eyes are distant, as if living in a memory.
He stands casually, as if he is completely comfortable with being in this prison of a room, which is odd. And the metal arm that is exactly like hers makes it even stranger. To make matters even more weird, his metal arm is the left one as well.
"Hello." He says gruffly.
"Hey, um do I know you?"
"No, you wouldn't." He replies, his eyes growing dark and he frowns.
"So, um, you have a metal arm too?"
His eyes glance at your arm, and he stiffens.
"Yeah I guess so." You answer.
"Ok." He turns to leave but you grasp his arm and gasp.
"What?" He asks? "Is there something you want?"
You step back, and his gaze softens.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to interacting with people." He says, looking at you.
Suddenly you are very self conscious about the fact that you are wearing very thin and tiny clothing and you cover your chest with your arms.
But his eyes don't travel, they stay right on your face. He gives you a nod and leaves the room without even telling you his name.
