Unmatchable

Chapter Eight

I wake up to see a bright light above me.

I sit up, and immediately regret it. My head pounds, and my body shakes. I look down to find that my clothes have been switched out for a hospital-type-gown.

Where am I?

The room I'm in is completely white, except for a few odd objects on a table.

My vision blurs and I shake a little bit. My brain tries to recall how I ended up in this odd place.

Suddenly I hear footsteps coming towards the door to my to my right. Immediately, I lay down and pretend to sleep. My heart practically jumps out if it's chest.

The voices become closer and closer when suddenly the door is swung open and I hear two voices.

"When do you think she'll wake up?" A male voice asks. His voice is smooth and pleasant. I could listen to it all day. Wait, what was I thinking!

"Soon enough. She should be up again within at least one or two days."

Ha, well the lady got that wrong.

"It's been two days, is that normal?" The males voice sounds again. Oh, that beautiful voice. Snap out of it, Teresa.

"With that kind of hit to the head, yes." The lady replies to him.

"Do you mind if I stay in here for awhile, watch her?"

"Go ahead, Thomas, that's fine."

"Thank you."

"Mhm." Heels click and I hear the door shut.

Why exactly is this person watching me? Why does he want to watch me.

Well.. this is awkward.

Suddenly I hear a lock click and a chair being pulled towards me.

"Hey, the coast is clear, I know you're awake." He says.

Wait, what?

My eyes flutter open.

"How'd you kn-"

"I saw you wake up through the security cameras, I deleted the footage, then came in here." He explains.

"Oh."

I take a moment to admire his features. His dirty blonde hair is messed up-in a good way- and his brown eyes stare at me with a hint of curiosity.

"So no one else knows I'm awake?"

"No one but me." He gives a faint smile. I look around the room again.

"Where am I?"

"A room." He answers. The guy smiles at me like a child. "Just kidding, well you're in a room bu-"

"Just answer my question, please." I interrupt him. The boy stares at me, amused.

"You're in Chicago."

Chicago... I remember hearing that name in my history class.

"Isn't that the city that was blown up?" I ask him.

"No," he laughs. "It's still here, and as good as ever."

"They always said Chicago was destroyed." I stare at him confused.

"Darling, they lied to you." He gets closer to me. I stare into his eyes.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

"Thomas." He says. There's an awkward moment of silence. "And you are...?"

"Oh," My eyes widen a little. "I'm Teresa."

"Well Teresa, I've got to go. I'll be back." Thomas tells me.

"Promise?" I ask him. He seems to be trustworthy.. but first I need to get to know him before I can tell him anything.

"Promise." He smiles at me. Then Thomas stands up and pushes his chair back to the table he got it from.

"Bye Teresa." He unlocks the door and waves at me, then exits the room.

I realise how lonely I've been.

After the door closes I hear a voice, which sounds like the woman that was in here earlier. I pretend to be sleeping when her voice gets closer.

The door opens and heels click in, which means it must be her.

"She'll wake up any day now, we have to be ready for when she does." The lady's voice sounds.

"Doctor Clark, are you sure we have to do this to her, she's only a girl." Another woman's voice answers the other woman. This female sounds pretty young.

"I told you, it's Natalia, and of course we can do it it to her. We've done it to every other fugitive that comes here and you've never had a problem with it, this is no different, Claire."

"Whatever you say, Natalia." This girl, Claire apparently answers. I take  a moment to take in what they're talking about.

What exactly do they want to do me?!

"Just be ready for her to wake. And when she does, make sure she doesn't remember where she came from, we don't want anyone escaping." Natalia's voice echos.

I need to get out of here.
