Memorizer

Chapter 3

I am Del Landmen. I am down inside of a building called RedCo. Men have been watching me for the past few hours. I am sitting in a square chamber that is lit from the ceiling by some form of firey liquid. To my left is a wall of ice, to my right is a wall of switches. The center of the room holds a singular button on the floor. The only door is to my back, which i would assume would be how i got in here. Why am I here? I can't remember. I look up above the door and see the men looking through a barrier of glass. There is an old one and a young one. The young one had glasses and beautiful brown hair. The old man leaned forward and spoke into the microphone on the side of the glass. "Are you okay? You stopped walking." I looked at him, trying to figure out why he would care about me. Was he my father? Uncle? I have no clue. The young man looked quickly at a notepad, then leaned forward to speak. "Do you remember us?" Now there was a question I could answer. I shook my head, trying to express my negative answer. "Well, that puts a roadblock in our path. You see that wall of ice to the left of you? You need to transmute that into water. " I looked at the wall. Transmute? What the heck does that mean? I looked closer along the edge of the wall, hoping to see something that would help me with this mysterious task. In the corners were these small metallic spikes going into the ice, each with two rings surrounding the tips. I looked at the button and walked onto it. Out of nowhere a soft hum began to sound from the spikes. I went over to the switches and saw they were in a three by three pattern. I started flicking them randomly until I realized that the guys behind the glass had been replaced by a young woman. She stood there mockingly, pretending to take notes. When she finally saw me looking at her, she leaned forward and spoke. "You lost, little brat? I'll give you a hint; you just have to remember the previous pattern!" At this, she began to laugh maniacally. I felt my face go red with anger. I flipped the switches back to the off position and proceeded to flip three specific switches. The woman's jaw dropped as I did this, before quickly recomposing herself. "Brat." I pressed the button again and the wall of ice instantly became water! I kept my jaw from dropping as I didn't want to show weakness to this woman, before walking through the space the wall had been in and through the exit door on the other side.
