Stitches

Chapter 7 'Theo Galavan'

I woke up, groggily, I tried moving my arms and legs but I felt restricted. I looked over and saw everyone else tied to dollies, I rested my head and sighed. "Good, they're waking up!" I heard someone say, then I saw a tall man, his hair was slicked back and he dressed in a fancy suit. He walked over to me, the others still waking up slowly. "My my, you're prettier in person," I pulled away as he tried to stroke my cheek. He laughed and said, "Fiesty, I like that."

Everyone else woke up and the man introduced himself as Theo Galavan, he talked about how he could give us everything and make us stars.
"So are you in?" He asked, "I wouldn't trust this..." I spoke, Richard agreed with me and demanded to be freed. Once they freed him, a woman introduced as Tabitha was supposed to show him out. Instead, she was ordered to kill him, and she did.

Theo walked towards me, "I know your history, I went through lots of trouble to find you 013," my eyes widened as I heard that... No one has ever called me 013...not since... Who the hell is this guy?  "You could be of great use to me, and I could provide something for the both of you," he said, "We don't want anything from you," Jerome said. Theo chuckled and said, "I wasn't referring to that but I guess you still haven't told him... I'll let you think about your options, after all, you wouldn't want to end up like Richard," I shook my head, hesitantly, eventually they untied us and showed us to our room.

Jerome closed the door behind us as we entered the room. I threw myself on the king sized bed and said, "Wow, this is incredible," I looked back at Jerome and he stood facing the door. Then turned around with a serious and concerned look on his face. "Why did he call you 013? Do you know something about this man?" He questioned, I sat up and shook my head. "013... That was my old name... The first name ever given to me, it was experiment 013," I said, memories from my past flooding my head. "I don't remember him though... I don't know him, he must've found my file," I explained.

"I don't like this, June, I'm worried," Jerome said, he sat down next to me and I rubbed his back trying to comfort him. "I know, but it'll be fine, if we just do what he says, we'll be fine..." I hope so...
