He pushes me to the back of the warehouse, then unlocks the back door of the dirty building, thrusting me through the door into darkness. He steps in next to me as he closes the door and the only source of light in the room. All goes completely dark for a second until he flips a switch on the wall, temporarily blinding me. We are in a long hallway with doors on each side, all are closed. I wonder to myself what could lay behind them, and which one i will be forced into. Maybe one that will finish me off. God i hope so.
He pushes me through the hallway, as i try to ignore the sharp pain that shoots through my shoulder with every push. Then he pulls me to a stop in front of one of the ominous doors in the long hall. He slowly opens it, and i try to prepare myself for the worst. I close my eyes as he opens the door, then slowly open then to see that we are in a conference room with a lot of other people sitting around the big, round table. Both men and women sit around the table talking to one another in hushed voices, like if the others were to hear all would be lost. They all look rough, like they've been through a lot, and many have scars that are very visible from across the room.
He pushes to the closest empty chair, and sits in the one next to me. He says, "Sorry we're late, this one -he points to me- had a little problem with directions." he sneers at me as he finishes what he wanted to say. Some laugh sinisterly. I know that they know what he means by that. One sits and sneers at me as well, but i notice that one young looking woman that is sitting in the corner is staring at me. Though she doesn't sneer nor laugh, she just sits there and stares at me like she's expecting me to burst. I may burst at the likes of these people that sit here in the dim lit room.
He begins the 'meeting' that he kidnapped me to. They all look to him, and i can tell that he's the authority figure of this certain group that he's established. That's just great they let him assume the role of leader. This guy doesn't need to be the leader of child's-play more-less a group of tough looking people who i'm sure are willing to start a fight just for the fun of it.
"Well now that our table is complete we can begin to discuss how to set in motion the plan." he says, i look around to see that the table really is full now; he's used to me fill the last empty seat. I have a sneaking suspicion that he meant for my capture to fill the last missing link before he could do what he's truly planning. Acquiring me wasn't the real plan all along, it's been so much more from the start.
" Without any further delay, let's begin. I have brought all of you here because we are a select few among our race, the human race, that are immune to death. Therefore we are the only ones that can rule this world efficiently. We are the only few humans that have gathered enough information and wisdom to rule the world and change. Death does not affect us, we simply come back stronger. We will show these good for nothing humans, these poor excuses for life, the true way to live. They will live to serve us. We will be gods!" his voice picks up speed as he talks until he reaches the last part, and everyone around the table cheers. Everyone except for me. These five other people that sit around the around with me are completely insane.
I speak up, " Is it true? We cannot die? There has to be something that can kill us." i try not to sound hopelessly crushed. I do have to play the part, at least until it's safe not to. I force a sound of excitement into my words as i say it, which leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. He smiles at me, this smile makes me sick to my core because it a genuine smile.
"Yes it's true, everyone at this table my friends cannot die." he smiles. He seems almost giddy with the excitement he holds for taking or the world. Everyone at the table reacts the same way, except me and one other person. The woman that was staring at me before still sits in the back. There's the same shadow that covers her as before, she doesn't seem at all giddy with the news of taking over the world like the others are. If anything she seems apathetic, and indifferent like this doesn't affect her in the least. He continues to speak explaining the plan for world domination but i can't find the will to listen to much that he has to say. For now i know the one thing i had been wanting more than anything else was to die is now an impossible thing. It feels as if i'm mourning my own impossibility of death. How ironic.
