The True Lives Of The Fabulous Kill Joys

Chapter 45- BL/IND

I wake up on a cold stone floor, unable to move, an Asian lady in front of me. Ive seen her before, I know I have. If the BL units were blown up, then where am I?

"Your friends blew up the BL units, but we have a backup basement." She says, peering at her nails. "Its the only thing not connected to the bombs. Everything else is gone."

I cant move for some reason, I dont know where I would go anyway. I want to laugh though, we won.

"The injection should ware off soon. We arent going to kill you, yet. We are going to use you for testing- you lab rat. Also, you are good bait. Maybe one day we can delete you all..."

I feel tears wet my cheek. I can only guess what is coming up next.

"We dont have dracs anymore but we have actual living humans. We can start with the testing now. Hey! Come in here!"

Someone enters, I cant remember his name but I do know where I last saw him. I rack my brain. Dark hair, sharp cheek and jaw bones...

Callum. He was the one I seduced a while ago... That was fun.

"She cant walk, carry her." The Asian lady says.

I make eye contact with Callum and I know he recognises me. He lifts me and throws me over his shoulder, then taking me to a white room, placing me on the metal table in the centre.

I dont pay much attention as Callum and the lady talk. But I catch glimpses of conversation.

"Turn her against them."

"Fear serum."

"Silence her."

I realise I cant be susceptible to these things and I need to use my brain power to not believe what they may show me. I sound too hopeful. I just need to pretend... I think of Gee and the guys, I cant believe what they want to show me.

Callum comes over with a needle and brushes the hair from my neck.

"Hey, how you been doing?" He says seductively.

I cant reply as Im frozen.

"You cant talk or BL will come and get you. You know that? Theyve got a chip in your neck. Right there..." He places his finger on my neck.

I look up into his eyes, they are soft brown. I trust those eyes...

I feel him stab and inject me right where his finger was. Im guessing its a fear serum from what I heard earlier. Theyre really trying to ruin me...

Im sitting with the guys around the table at the diner. Im not talking, just watching them talk. I open my mouth to talk, but as I utter the first word, I feel a stabbing pain in my neck and dracs run into the diner. I cry out in pain. The dracs shoot MK and Gee and Ef and Ar and Em. Just because I spoke? I dont get it? Their bodies slump. I open my mouth to call for them but the dracs turn to me.

I open my eyes. Callum is pouting slightly and Im sweating.

"If you say anything, BL will find you." He laughs seductively and I roll my eyes. "But I wouldnt mind seeing you again..."

"BL dont exist anymore!" I spit at him. "I killed Korse!"

I feel another sharp prick, shutting me up.

Im back at my BL block with my parents. I must be 5. My mum looks drained and grey, my dad the same. It makes them look ugly.

They all take their pills for the day, but mine stay on the table.

My parents now dont look as ugly, but they look expectant.

My pills stay on the table.

"Darling, if you dont take them, we will be taken away." My mum says with a hushed voice, brushing some hair out of my face.

"No." I say.

"Please, I dont want to die." My dad says this time and my heart starts beating.

I never really remembered my dad, his image, even here, is a little bit blurry.

"No." I say. "I wont take i-"

I dont finish as dracs burst through the door. They grab my parents and drag them out. Korse walks in, I thought he was dead?

"Dont talk about this or we will find you and kill you. Now, take the pill." He whispers aggressively.

I put the pill into my mouth, it dissolves quickly and tastes like strawberries. Weirdly I feel happier and more well rounded, like I could take on the world. I like this...

"Good girl. Now zip it." He draw a zip over his mouth.

I sit up, like emerging from water. Callum puts his hand on my back. I seem to be gasping for air, like my life depends on it. It is difficult to open my mouth more than a slip and I have to force it open to gasp air.

"Hey, its okay." His eyebrows are furrowed and he seems uncharacteristically worried.

I bring my knees up to my chest, wrapping them in place with my arms.

"The truth can be painful... This will calm you down." He hold out the BL pill.

I stare at them, pausing for a moment. My heart is thumping and I feel sick and I just want to relax. I take one.

It tastes like my home, like power pup. Within minutes I am calmer and my tears have stopped.

"We have a bed for you until tomorrow. Heres a bottle of pills to keep you in control." He hands me a grey bottle.

I take his hand and he helps me stand. He then walks me to a room with a bed inside, it looks comfortable.

"Hey," He turns my face to look at his, "sleep well."

I try not to melt in front of him, his eyes warm me up and it takes me back to when I seduced him, when I was happiest.

He sits on a chair in the room and watch as I climb under the blanket. Its warm and comfortable.

"Long time no see, am I right?" He mumbles.

I dont reply, he injected me against my will, I dont want to give him information.

"I told you I would see you again."

He walks over and I try not to shrink away. He leaves a kiss on my forehead before disappearing.

I thought BL had been defeated.
