Frozen memories

Chapter 3

"I live close around here" I said. For the first time I was able to notice the light that sparkles in his brown eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asked again but he said it in a serious tone as if he was annoyed.
"Why?" I asked confused.
"What?" He asked not knowing what I was thinking.
"Why did you come back?" I asked. We stopped looking at each other. "I don't know I guess I just felt the need to help you." He said. I gave him a weak smile. "Can we go now? If we don't start running they will find us in no time." He said. I nodded. He started to run but suddenly I felt limp and my eyes were going heavy again as If I was being drugged again. "Hey what's wrong?" He asked. Suddenly I fell to the flour and everything went jet black again.

"Lana, wake up" he said shaking my unconscious body. I didn't move so he put me over his shoulder and started running breathing heavily muttering a few words to himself once in a while.
He ran for a couple of minutes before putting me down.
I heard people whisper and I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't.
"Hey, wake up, you're safe now" said a familiar voice I slowly opened my eyes as if the girls voice helped me and i looked around me.
"Hey." Said Chris smirking a little.
The girl with the familiar voice was the black haired girl from the shelter and apparently she's called Amber.
I didn't know why I felt so weak, my body was still numb and my eyelids were heavy.Amber walked towards Chris as she started to act flirty. "I was so worried." She said as she twirled her jet black hair with her index finger. "Don't worry. You should worry about surviving and not getting a boyfriend at the moment." He said gently pushing her out of his way. I got up slowly standing on my feet. "We should sit here and wait till morning." A guy with blonde hair stood up. At this moment we were only four people in this small hiding ground. Two guys and two girls. We all presented ourselves. "I'm Jason and I'm 16." The blonde guy said as he sat down. "I'm amber and I'm also 16." The black haired girl said. "Chris and I'm 17." Chris said sitting down. All eyes were on me waiting for me to present myself. "I'm Lana and I'm 15." I said. Apparently I'm the youngest here and Chris is the oldest.

Chris stared at me and looked back at the ground before smiling to himself.
"So," Amber started before I interrupted her by yelling as hard as I could.
My whole body was hurting and i fell to my knees as blood came out of my nose.
I yelled and yelled as the boys and Amber came around me and tried to calm me down.
My heart was beating faster than ever tears streamed down my face.
It was happening again. My body went completely numb and my eyelids heavy as I went unconscious.I felt this pain taking over my body. The guys picked me up and tilted my head to decrease my nose bleed. My eyes closed suddenly but the last thing that I heard was gun shots going off.

I opened my eyes slowly. I needed to adjust my eyes to the light above my head. I tried to get up but was unable. My body was held still by leather straps trapping tightly my wrists and ankles on this metal table. Fear took over me as I kept my breathing steady.

I heard a girl scream. A loud piercing scream.
I tried to move again but i couldn't.
Suddenly I heard some footsteps and saw a man coming next to me with a seringue.
"Please leave me alone" I managed to say.
The man didn't answer he just injected me the familiar warm liquid they injected me before freezing us.
Everything went black and then I was in my house. My mom was cooking and my dad was reading his usual newspaper. I started to walk around and went in my sisters small light room. There she was, playing with her toys laughing as she saw me.
" I miss you" i said a tear falling down my cheek but then everything changed.
I was running , holding my little sisters hand. I then remembered that terrible day. The day before the accident. We ran to the underground shelter and they welcomed us. Told us everything would be fine.But they lied. Suddenly the memories were turning into nightmares. I felt a knife pierce deeply in my skin. I felt it cutting through. My screams grew louder and louder until my eyes shot open. Tears streamed down my face like a river as I cried and screamed from the pain. I looked slowly down seeing the same man with the knife in his hands that was covered with blood. My eyes traveled down to the flour that was now covered with my blood. "What are You doing?" I sobbed as he ignored me. He picked up a bottle filled with a green liquid. "What is that?" I asked with fear. He put a little on some white fabric. "What are you doing to me!?" I said fear taking over me. My breaths grew heavy as I watched him slowly put the fabric on my wound and press. I felt my skin burning as I screamed in pain. The pain was too much that my body couldn't handle it anymore. I fell unconscious.

I woke up in a small cold room. I barely had enough place to move and I had an oxygen mask over my face.
"Lana" said the once confident raspy voice.
He squeezed my tiny hand in his and said.
"They killed Jason and shot Amber. I picked you up but they caught us. I don't know what they did but these memories then I woke up and and..." his voice was shaky and I knew he was on the verge of crying.
"Where are we?" I asked.
He didn't answer probably because the door of our room swung open and the same man came in.
He injected us something and came back a few minutes later.This time a man wearing a suit came accompanied by him. He wore a black tuxedo with a red tie. His grey hair was nicely gelled his shoes tapped as he made his way toward us. He came towards me and crouched down to my level. He looked in his mid fifties. His hand  went through my messy hair as he smirked. He had a scar that ran down his face. "You two survived 63 years frozen." He smirked. "The only question is..why didn't you guys age?" He continued. "This is the answer." He pulled out a seringue showing it to us. "Let's see if you guys can make it through the rest." He let out an evil chuckle. "Please don't do this." I subbed. "You're a beautiful young lady." He smirked. "Hate to see what will happen next." He got up and turned to exit the room. "Why are You doing this?" Chris asked the old man."Oh it's just an experiment" he answered and he left
