Have you ever been trapped somewhere, a place you can't escape.  Have you ever imagined what the world looks like because your eyes have not yet touched it. I have. I always have.
I've grown accustomed to the pain now, to the bare rooms and the small cells, the lab and the tests. Since day 1 I have been used as a lab rat, a helpless creature that can't scream out to stop.  But what they don't know is I'm their first success. There first ultimate weapon. I have no emotions so don't expect mercy, I am faster, stronger and more powerful than any human. I could end a war alone....start a war alone.
After 18 years of torture, I'm done and I'm ready. Let's see if they ever prepared for there weapon to turn against them.  I'M DONE HIDING. 

Knock knock knock.
I stood up from my bed, my face emotionless as always. Today is the day I would escape and see the world.

"how are you today, Athena?"

"fine"

"Ready for training"

"Yes"

I walked outside to be hit by the cool winds of July I looked around to see everyone shivering and huddling together.  It didn't effect me, to be honest I'm more of a robot than a human being. Hit me with a grenade I would still carry on running.  The mission to me is everything and nothing can stop me from fulfilling it. Not even my creators.

"ready.  One. Two. Three. GO!!"

I pulled out my guns and shot a total of six times. Grabbed my knives and threw them in two separate directions.  With a bit of mortal combat because it was always my favourite. 

"20 dead in 10 seconds, that's a new record Athena"

"30" I spoke in barely a whisper

"excuse me?"

"I said 30"

Before he could argue any further I had slit the 10 guards throats around the area without a second thought.  Climbed over the gate without breaking a sweat and was off.

"AFTER HER" 

Was all I could hear In the background but it was too late, I was already gone and they would never be able to catch up with me on foot. I had trained for 18 years....wait...

" it's beautiful " I stopped in my tracks. I was so caught up in escaping that  I didn't even notice how blue the sky was or the chirping of the birds. The loud noises of cars and people talking. I tear slipped my eye and crashed to the ground. Or I hoped it would, like I said I have no emotions. In the 19 years of my life I have never cried, never spoke in a more than 5 minute conversation and I have never ever laughed. And that's a fact.

"excuse me miss"

I grabbed his arm and held it behind his back, seconds from breaking it.

"ow ow ow"

I let go, this was a first I have never heard anyone reply with ow ow ow. They usually fight back but most of the time there dead before they get the chance to. I smirked to myself. 

"are you going to a party? Your outfit is great"

I looked down I was wearing my normal clothes that a train in (cover photo)

"no"

I turned around and walked off. I knew exactly where I was. At night My creators would blindfold me and take me to this secret hiding area if we were under attack. But just because I couldn't see with my eyes does not mean I couldn't see at all. So I headed to the area to prepare. I would kill them all.  All of my creators. I would find my mother.  That was my new mission and like I said before no one can get in the way of my mission.
