Run.

Chapter three:Simulations and Mutations

*RECAP*

"Avalyn." I said extending my hand for a shake.

"That's funny. I used to have a friend with that name. She hated her name and only went by Ava. Then one day she left without a goodbye and I never saw her again."

Oh my god. 

"Oh And my name is---"

"Juliet" I finished.

"Ava? Ava Willow?"

"That's me."

"Oh my gosh!"

We hugged and then she suddenly pulled away and slapped me. 

She slapped me. 

She

Slapped

Me.

Wait what?

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

I backed up from her and held my face in my hand.

"Well? What was that for?" I growled at her

"You freaking left me there Ava. I was stuck in the facility until three months ago. I was questioned nonstop about where you were. And I couldn't answer them. Because you left without telling me where you were going or a goodbye. I was so hurt Ava. I cried for you every night. I was alone and scared. Why didn't you take me with you? You got to run free while I had to stay with all the needles and tests and scienctists? How is that fair? I thought we were best friends?" 

She was hurt. And she was hurt because of me. I felt horrible. 

"Juliet I'm so sorry. It was dangerous the way I got out. And I always told myself that I would come back for you. I just didn't know how I could do it. I wish I said goodbye. I really am sorry Jules. Please forgive me."

"Whatever. It was the past. I'm just happy we got out okay and that I found you. Truce?"

"Definatley."

"So wait how did you even get out?"

"That's what I was planning on asking you. But anyways, One night when dinner was brought to me I acted sick so they brought the doctor in. When the doctor was taking my tempurature I grabbed his keys, kicked him and ran. I got past the guards and ran. I hid in the woods for a while and have been moving around since."

"Wow. I climbed up the wall into the vents in the simulation room and thank god the vent led to the courtyard. I climbed up the big wall and jumped off of it."

"So I guess the suction like hands mutation really helped in that situation."

"Yeah. Have you noticed any new muttuations?"

"I can make light appear and disapeer."

"So now you have two mutations right?"

"Yup. Light and the chemilian thing."

We found out she could chamaflouge herself really well when we were about 7. We were in a simulation and I couldn't find her. 

-Flashback-

Dr. Blank just threw us into lab room one. The lights were out so Juliet and I clung to each other in fear of what we would see when the lights turned on. We heard loud voice say

"Welcome to your first simulation.Begin"

And with that the lights flickered on. We were in a room that seemed neverending. It consisted of tall trees and a black sky.

"Jules I don't like this."

"Me either."

We heard loud footsteps coming at us and we ran. After running for a couple of minutes I was out of breath and I coulndn't find Juliet. 

"Juliet! Where are you? I'm scared."

The footsteps were nearing.

"JULIET!"

A hand reached out and grabbed me. It was Juliet but her face and body looked like a tree trunk. She put her finger up to her lips and shushed me. The footsteps were nearing and I didn't know where to hide. Being as quiet and careful as I could I started climbing up the tree. It was easier than I thought. Almost too easy. I was very far up when I stopped climbing and I was only holding onto the tree with one hand. I examined my free hand and noticed the small suction bumps forming.  

The footsteps came to a stop and we were back in a lab room.

The simulation was over and our first mutations were discovered.

-FLASHBACK OVER-

"So have you noticed anything new?"

"Nope. Just the suction hands."

The fire was dying down but there was still a couple light hours in the day. It was only about 5 o'clock. On the run you didn't care how early or late you ate, as long as you ate.

"Look Juliet. I don't want to loose you again. Best friends stick together. Do you wanna stick with me? Like you could come with me where I go and we could hide together, only if you want."

"I'd love to. So where are we going ---"

I put my hand over her mouth and she gave me a death stare. I pointed over to a bush a couple feet away. It was moving. There was a person in there. She saw it too. I grabbed the bag of food and we stepped over the trip wire. The person in the bush stood up. I imediatley knew who it was.

"Dr. Blank." I said under my breath to Juliet.

"Miss me?" He said and gave us a devilish grin.

"Get them" He called and five other bodies appeared out of no where.

"RUN!"

oh shit.
