Trained To Kill

four: he missed me.

i think a lot about the things I took for granted
which always leads to you
I can’t remember
the Taste of your lips

“I think she’s waking up.” I hear a voice say. My eyes only halfway open. I’m cuffed to a chair with Marcus, Nicole, and Jacob standing a few feet away from me.

“By the way, Marcus,” Nicole smirks. “Nice job making him be all buddy buddy with her.” Jacob looks at her in disgust and Marcus rolls his eyes. He clearly isn’t too fond of Nicole either. “It wasn’t me,” He says. “It was the higher-ups.”

“They like fucking with me.” Jacob mumbles with anger.

“I find it hilarious.” Nicole says, sticking a lollipop in her mouth. “Hi Karma.” She says to me when her eyes land on mine. I look to Jacob and he’s looking at me as well, expressionless. Nicole walks up to me. “You are not allowed to leave class until we say it is okay. That little stunt you pulled was against the rules. I get to- I mean, we have to punish you now.”

I want to spit in her face she’s so close to me. I can smell the grape flavor of her candy. She turns around and turns on this switch on a table behind them. I hear something powering up. “How many, Marcus?”

“Is this really even necessary?” Jacob says nonchalantly, still looking at me. “You killed an innocent girl right in front of her. It’s only the second day. It’s not like she-”

Nicole turns her lip up at him. “She broke the rule, and now she has to pay. Besides, we look down on weakness, remember?”

He finally looks at Nicole and shakes his head. “You are despicable.”

She scoffs. “You’re such a pussy. I will never understand why Control likes you so much.”

“Yea, Control likes me so much, that’s why they brought her here.” He says sarcastically and motions towards me. “And actually giving a shit about innocent human life makes me a pussy?” He raises his voice a little. “Don’t get mad at me just because I still have a heart.” He doesn’t get an answer from her. This seems to hit a special nerve, because she just glares at him. “Yea that’s right, Nicky. I know you desperately want something or someone to care about, but they’ve sucked that right out of you.”

“Well at least I’m not hopelessly in love with-“

He takes a step closer to her, fist balled at his sides, successfully shutting her up. “Nicole, don’t. I’m not above hitting a girl.”

She rolls her eyes, but she drops the subject. Instead, she focuses in on me. “How many Marcus?” She asks again, giving me a deadly stare.

“5.” He says.

“What? 3 is enough.”  Jacob says sternly. Marcus gives him a look that says he needs to shutup and then he says 5 again.

“You should make lover boy do it.” Nicole says viciously.

“No Nicole. This one is yours.” Marcus says indifferently. He seems to be bored with the whole situation.

“Fine. At least he has to stay and watch.” She says and then her hand slams down on a button on the table. There’s this electric sound and all of a sudden my body is filled with this intense amount of head crushing pain I can’t even describe. I scream out and there are little black dots in my vision. Oh my god. That hurt like nothing I’ve ever felt before. Makes me feel like my insides are burning me alive. She smirks and without giving me a moment to breathe she slams her hand on the button again. The sensation washes over me, and mixed with the leftovers from the last shock, it hurts even more. I scream out again and I can feel little tears in the corner of my eyes.
