Athena

Chapter 5

We are driving somewhere; I'm not sure because I have a blindfold on. All I know is that it's cold and I'm really missing my sister. They put her in a different van. I'm not even sure if she's alive, if she is I don't know if they are taking her to the same place. I should have seen this coming, especially because I've never liked my uncle. I always thought he was kind of a drunk who kept to himself. Now I know he was just in it for the money.

It took several hours before we got to where we were going, which was a parking garage for a sports stadium. They parked the car and stepped out. They walked over to my side and opened the door. Once the door was opened the commander dragged me out and held me by the shirt. He pulled me close so we were face to face. "Now you listen here little missy! I don't want any trouble from you! Any trouble, any at all and I'll blast your sisters head off! Got it?" said the military commander. I gulped than attentively nodded. Then I quietly said, "Yes sir," barely above a whisper. "Good!" he said in return.

They dragged me over to the elevators and pushed the down button. When the doors opened they dragged me into it. Once I was in the doors shut, and the commander waved a key card against the control panel. The wall behind us opened up to reveal another elevator. We walked into it then closed the doors and made our way down to whatever laid below us.

We made it down to the bottom, the doors slid open revealing concrete bunker with military and scientist personnel. They blindfolded me then dragged me somewhere. When they finally took off the blindfold I was standing near a hospital bed. The bed was empty of course because it was obviously meant for me. I was just about to ask what they want me to do when they gassed me with chloroform. The only words that came out of my mouth were, "What do..."

When I wake up I'm lying in my underwear on a bed. The last thing that I remember was them removing my blindfold. The rest is nothing but black, as if it was just too horrible to remember. I look around and examine myself. I've got a heart rate monitor wired to me with several other machines that I don't know what they do or what they are called. I sit up and groan pain sparks through my body, most of it in my head.

The doctor walked in, he was the same one from the first time they took me. "How's it going Miss Athena James?" he asked. "It would be better if I didn't have to be here." I snap at him. "Well if you hadn't run off the first time this would be over by now," he replied, "You brought it on yourself." I look at him with a hatred glare. "I'm here because of my stupid uncle and because of you stupid people who don't care at all about me. The only thing you care about is my ability, yourselves, and the money. You don't care about me. You look at me like I'm a freak of nature and not a 12 year old human kid. Let me ask you something, do you have kids?" "He looked at me dumbfounded, "Why yes I do, and guess what, I hate them. I hate children, especially you." He said. "You're awful, you should be ashamed," I say to him.

With that he shoved me down and restrained me. "I'm going to enjoy this very much," he said as he licked his lips like a snake. "What did I do to you? What did your children do to you? Why do you hate children so much? You once were a child!" I yelled at him. He gave me an evil grin then walked out of the room slamming the door. I feel utterly hopeless, with no knowledge of my sister and no knowledge of what's going to happen to either of us. So I did the only thing I could, I cried.
