Gwendoline Saline: The Alien (Complete)

Chapter 8: Memory

I woke up in a lot of pain. I looked around the room I was in. It was dark and no light flooded through. I didn't need to see though. I knew where I was and what floor I was on. I was in one of the cells.

I looked around and used my super sight. All around me were my friends and fellow Colors. I immediately felt pain in my temples and I released my vision. Only then did the pain subside. I sighed in relief.

I thought to myself that If I use my powers I felt pain. Clever, but not clever enough. How do I get out? I asked myself.

I looked at the door. I'm not tied down to anything. So where is the pain coming from? I asked.

I looked down and saw a small circular device on my arm. Ahh, that's how. The device was about as big as a watch face. It stuck to my arm. I tried pulling it off, but it gave me another wave of pain. I gasped and let go.

I looked at the door again and it opened. Bright light filtered through the room and I covered my eyes. A man in a lab coat came into the room and ordered me to get up. I did as he asked and he took me to Dr. Mitchell.

"Sit down." Dr. Mitchell said
I obeyed.

"Now, that little stunt you pulled, was reckless." he said

"It almost worked." I replied

He laughed, "It didn't though. That's my point."

"What do you want with us?" I asked

"To study your kind." he said

"It's not right to keep hostages." I said

"You mean your parents?" he asked with a glint in his eye.

I glared at him.
"I don't have them. You will be happy to know that I have no idea where they went." he said

"Let us go." I demanded

He laughed again, "Let you go? There is no chance of that, sweetheart."

"What did we get to deserve this? You committed murder!" I yelled

He stared at me with expressionless eyes, "I did what I had to do to get that little boy."

"It didn't require killing Drew's parents." I said cooly.

He laughed, "You should have seen the boy's face when I killed them in front of him."

"You're messed up." I said sneered.

He grabbed my arm and squeezed it hard until I yelped in pain.
"Never call me messed up again. Do you hear me?" he said in anger

"Y-yes." I said

"Yes what?" he asked a grin forming on his face

"Y-yes, Sir." I said

"Good. I can still control you." he laughed

To prove his point he made me dance. I felt like a puppet tied to a string and he was the puppet master. I couldn't do anything to stop him. I couldn't stop I couldn't do anything on my own. He controlled me.

He made me stop breathing and I started panicking inside my head. Then he released his hold on me and I gasped in air.

He laughed, "I could make you do anything I want."

I glared at him in disgust.

"I'll only use it if you disobey an order." he said

I still glared at him saying nothing.

"Okay you may go. Guards take her to the cell with the rest of her friends." Dr. Mitchell said.

Before I exited the door he said, "You won't escape this one, Tara."

The guards took me to the cell I saw my friends in. They threw me in not caring about being gentle. I hit my head on the wall and blinked back tears. Rowan came towards me.

"Here, let me." she said and touched my head. Immediately, it was healed.

"Thanks." I said

"No problem. Just know that I can only heal physical wounds. For example a stab wound. I cannot heal a broken heart." she said

"I get that." I said.

All my friends came and hugged me.

"We were so worried they would kill you." Maddy said

"I'm glad you're okay." Ian said

"What about you guys?" I asked

"Dr. Mitchell told us he'd control us one by one to kill the others." Andrew said.

"That's not good." I said

"I know, but we won't be able to help it." Cameron said

"How does he control us anyway?" Maddy asked

"Not sure." Justin said

"I know how." I said. They all turned to me.

"How?" Andrew asked

"He's a Color." I said

"How come we didn't see his color though?" Ian asked

"Because he is a White." I said

"White?" Cameron asked

"I thought all Whites were dead." Maddy said

"Not this one." Rowan said

"How do we defeat a White?" Ian asked

"We have to fight him out of our minds. Once we do it once, he cannot control us anymore." I said

"How did you figure this out?" Justin asked

"My memory came back." I said
