Chapter 4: Interrogated by my Own Mind.

I woke up tied to a bed. The straps were carbon fiber. the room was dark and musky. There was only one light but I couldn't see anything while trying to refocus my eyes. then it shined in my face. "why are you here?" a voice said. I recognized the voice but couldn't understand why. "i probably shouldn't say." I replied. 

in response the figure said, "do you know who I am?"

"no clue. don't care" I replied. the figure grabbed the light and shined it on himself. the man was a perfect figure of me. I sat there astounded and somewhat confused on why and how I stood before myself. I sat there through all of the questions and answered the same thing to all of them. "I'd rather not say." then he got out a pair of pliers. "if you won't answer my next question right you may find that you'll have a few lesser limbs," he said. "Who are you?"

"you need to be trustworthy for me to answer that. keeping me tied to a chair is not how you do that." I replied. 

"Suit yourself." He slowly moved the pliers to my thumb. then just as he was getting ready to clamp down he went completely limp against me. "WHA!!!????" I screamed as Kil burst through the door. He cut the ropes that held me and flipped the knife back into it's pouch. "good job kid. we figured you were trustworthy but Mil wanted to be sure." he said. I still couldn't understand the lifeless body before me. "clones are kinda ditzes when it comes to being cruel though." he assured me. 

"what now?" I asked.

"now we go back and report the news so we have an excuse to eat the cake that Mine and Kira made."

"er... ok." I was starting to feel at home with these people.
