Secrets Make Us Dead {C.H}

0.4

   Sitting against the wall I squeeze my eyes shut, my finger still placed upon the jack. My mind swarms, words scream and my blood freezes.
This cant be real
I'm real.
Right?

I look up at Calum, my body shaking violently. Hes talking but im not hearing anything hes saying. My ears feel clogged, his words sounding muffled as though they were coming from under water. He kneels in front of me looking into my eyes. I can see panic clouding them as he reaches to the hand on my head. He grabs it and my mind expands, his secrets etching them selves against it. He sets his finger on the jack and frowns before letting go of my hand and standing, my mind clearing and its as though I'm back under water.

He chases around the room, checking drawers and cabinets, tearing items from the shelf. He grabs a vile and brings it to me setting it in my hand. I don't move staring at the cold glass, it feeling painful against my hot skin. He picks it up and opens it placing it against my lips. I pull away shaking me head fast.

"What is that?" I ask glaring slightly. Through the noises in my ear I hear him say to just drink it and that it will help. I bite the inside of my cheek and grab it from his grasp, pouring it into my mouth. The bitter taste overwhelms my taste buds making me gag as I swallow the pasty substance. He watches me for a moment before standing and holding his hand out for me. I shake my head, gripping the wall as I stand and gain my balance. "What happened?"

"You're body went into shock." He says placing his hand back at his side as he walks away. I nod.

"Obviously but.. What did you make me drink?" I ask, thinking back realizing it had no distinct taste.

"Something my dad created. Its for malfunctions."

"But.." I start before I sigh and lean into the wall. "So.. I'm not human? At all?"

"Well you are but.. It's complicated. My dad used a woman's DNA to create you so you'd look human." He says, grabbing his bag off the counter. "Lets go."

"Go?" I question. "I'm not gonna just follow you." He sighs.

"Please Victoria."

"Alexis.."

"Whatever. We have to go. They have trackers out and if you wanna live or at least not be captured we need to leave." He says looking at me. I nod and walk to him.

"Wheres my bag?"

"In the car." He says and grabs my hand walking faster. "We really don't have any time Alexis." I nod and quickly follow along, glancing around curious as to what he seems so panicked about. As if reading my mind he begins to speak, "When you malfunctioned it alerted him and his people will be here any minute." My mouth goes dry and I pick up my speed. Getting to the car we jump in and he drives off, nearly fast enough I don't see the black figured in the distance, watching us retreat.
