I Am Different

Chapter 24

I woke up in a white room, lying on a white bed with a blanket tucked on me. I just realized that I was wearing a patient's clothes, like in the hospital. But I checked under it to see my regular clothes. I sighed of relief and rested my back on the pillow. I then started scanning the room. It was unfamiliar to me. I could barely remember what happened earlier. I sat and continued scanning the room, until the door opened. Jenny's dad came in with a folder that was opened on his hand. He then saw me and smirked.

"You're awake." He said.

As I saw his face. I immediately remembered what happened. I became angry or mad and rolled my fist.

"Where am I?" I asked.

He stared at me again and closed the folder.

"You are in a room where I experiment the people who has supernatural powers, or the not-so-normal people." He explained.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked, "Is this really just about your wife?"

He smiled and snickered.

"You are smart. Yes, this isn't just about my wife." He said, "Though, I don't think I'll do the same if I hadn't known what she really was." He said.

"What was she?" I asked.

He was silent for three seconds and finally responded.

"She was like you."

My eyes widened a bit and let out a sigh.

"Then what was the other reason that you had to take a peculiar person in here?"

He glared at me and crossed his arms.

"I cannot answer that question. I'm gonna have to proceed to my experiment." He said.

He took a transparent box from the cabinet beside my bed. There were needles in it so he took one. He checked the needle carefully and placed the box in the cabinet again. He went out the room for a second and came back with a green liquid in a glass. He placed it at the desk that was at the corner of the room. He started to wet half of the needle in the liquid. He then removed it after five seconds.

"Are you going to stab me with that?" I asked.

He stared at me and looked away afterwards. He then started walking towards me and put out my right wrist.

"Inject, actually." He corrected.

He injected it in my right wrist, right at my veins. It stung a bit but stopped immediately. He rested my hand beside me and left the room. My visions were clear and wasn't becoming blurry. I wasn't fainting nor blacking out. I didn't feel anything until I tried to stand.

My right arm wouldn't move. It's like I couldn't control them. I tried moving it but it just wouldn't. I gritted my teeth as I hardly try to move it. I finally gave up and used my left arm to carry it. But as I touched my right arm. It grounded and it hurt a bit and the same time it tickled. I wanted to move it but I couldn't.

As I struggled, I realized that Jenny's dad was coming back, so I sat back still and didn't try to my hand anymore. He walked in but stopped at the middle of the room.

"How's your arm?" He asked.

"I-I don't know." I responded.

He sighed and took another needle. He went out the room so I started struggling to make it move again. Then he came back with the needle and walked towards me. He vastly stabbed it to my neck and that is when I started fainting. And I did.

Jenny's POV

I woke up to a room where I was locked in a cage. I sat and crossed my legs. I scanned the room until I looked at my right. I saw the boy who was in a cage at dad's other room. I was in another cage since every cage only holds a person. But the cage I was in was just beside him.

"Aren't you the daughter of the scientist?" He asked.

"Y-yeah" I responded.

He smiled and looked away. He was still wearing the patient's uniform but I wasn't.

"But this is a cage for not normal people." He said, "Why are you here?"

I looked at him and became silent for five seconds. Then I responded to him.

"I don't know. I had a fight with him and someone just stabbed me at my neck, he made me sleep and I woke up in here."

He nodded and sat, he also crossed his legs. He then placed his hands infront of him and started shaking it. His palms were facing each other. I first thought he was feeling cold but when I looked between his hands. I noticed a rainbow color appearing between his hands. The colors seemed like coming out from both of his hands and are making a circle between them.

"Wow! That's what you can do?" I asked.

He nodded. Then suddenly, the colors faded.

"What happened?" I asked.

He sighed.

"Your dad would everyday inject something on my neck, which will make me have difficulties using my peculiarity." He responded.

I nodded sadly.

"Dad doesn't really want you guys to use them." I said.

"Yeah, he knows that we might use them at him." He said.

I nodded.

"I still wonder why you're here. I mean, you're not a peculiar." He said.

I did thought of that.

"Maybe a cage where they'll trap me for a while." I said.

"What? No, that isn't how it works in here." He said.

I looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He sighed and responded.

"Only a peculiar person can get in these cages."
