Like a Grape (Shidge AU) [Book 1]

Chapter Seventeen

The commander pulled Pidge out of the room, dragging her by the handcuffs.

Shiro screams still continued throughout the halls.

"Please! Stop it! Stop it while he is still alive!" Pidge begged. "I'll do anything!"

The commander than knelt down Pidge's level and placed her hand under her chin. "Sweetheart. His fate has already been determined."

Than they heard Shiro's screaming stop. He was gone, like the rest of her family. Pidge's heart stopped. Everything just seemed to stand still, and tears fell down Pidge's eyes. She couldn't do it. She couldn't handle the pain.

Shiro was gone.

"Hurts. Doesn't it?" The commander mocked. She stood back up, and walked around to Pidge's back side. She than pressed a button on Pidge's handcuffs.

Pidge felt a needle stab her as some kind of liquid entered her body. At first it just felt weird, but than it started to leave a burning sensation.

That is, until everything black out for Pidge, as she collapsed to the floor.

The commander picked Pidge back up and walked back into the room. She set Pidge down as she walked up to Shiro.

She slapped him in the face and said "Wake up!"

Shiro groaned as he scarcely said "I'm not dead."

The commander rolled her eyes as she unstrapped Shiro. "Of course you're not dead, lover boy. I can't kill you with this machine. It's ment for torture not execution. Plus, why would I kill you if you are too useful."

"Than why did you say you were going to kill me?" Shiro asked.

"To make her think I killed you." She said motioning to Pidge.

"Pidge! What did you do to her?!" Shiro exclaimed.

The commander finished unstrapping Shiro as he tried to run to Pidge, but his body collapsed due to the amount of pain he felt all around.

"I just gave you the largest amount of a shock. You body won't let you go far you idiot." She sighed. "And about her, I probably killed her."

"You what!?" Shiro exclaimed as he tried sit up.

"Let me get there. I made her think I killed you, to put her in a weaker state of mind. You gave her hope. I needed her to be vulnerable and unable to fight."

"Why would she need to fight?" Shiro interrupted.

"Let me explain!" The command sharply barked. "Once she thought you died, I put a chemical in her that puts her in her subconscious. Than she and her second personality can fight. If one of them dies in the fight, the other takes control of the body while the other one ceases to exist."

"You foul creature." Shiro spat.

She than kicked Shiro in the gut spending him against the wall. "Maybe, I can make you my personal slave."

Pidge found herself in a pure white room. She couldn't see any end to the room. It was just white nothingness.

She felt so alone, so scared.

She stood up, and had just walked around to see if there was an exit. That is until she heard steps that weren't hers.

She stop. The steps continued. Frightened, she slowly turned around, but was only to find herself. Except it wasn't herself. Well, not exactly. She looked like her, but with yellow glowing eyes.
