Youth Prime: The Beginning

Chapter 5

Good mythical morning my wattpaders. Before I put up the next chapter,  the answer to the brain teaser that I put up in chapter 4 was meat. A Butcher is 6 ft 2 in and wears size 12 shoes. What does he weigh? MEAT! Lol. Anywhogul let's get this show on the road.

recap

I roll my eyes which causes Tori to smile, she hands me a small glass filled halfway with a clearish blue liquid. I drink it all. It has no taste, but in a way it does. It feels smooth like a river, going down my throat. My body gradually relaxes, and my eyes grow heavy. I hear Tori whisper, "Be yourself." Then I'm met with darkness.

End of recap

Next thing I am awake again, lying in my bed at home. I could've sworn I was just at school. I sit up and look around, 'how did I get back to my room'. I notice that I'm in pajama shorts and a tank top. When I look back up my closet door is open. It was just closed a second ago. I stand up, I feel like a stranger here, as if I'm out of place. I walk barefoot to the closet, and look through the clothes I have. Some of these clothes I truly don't remember ever having,  however I proceed to take out a sleeveless black shirt, black pants, and combat boots.

Then it's as if time momentarily slows down, I simply blink. But the next thing I know I'm staring at my pajama clothes. I look down and now I'm wearing the clothes I picked out. What kind of weird dream is this?

Suddenly I hear a knock on the door. I look at the door debating what I should do. I slowly and silently walk to the door. When I open it I stand behind it and wait for someone to walk in but no one does. I look out and see a blank white hallway, with a white door at the end. My curiosity takes flight and I run down to the end of the hallway. I open the door and step through, and watch as my surroundings change.

I enter a room filled with mirrors. My reflection stares back at me ten fold. Suddenly a new image forms. It's me, but different.  A smirk is on my face, well her face, she turns to something that's at her right. I look and see Tyler,and Raquel lying on the ground next to each other, all bloody, yet still awake. I look back at her my face filled with confusion and anger. She smiles at me and walks over to Tyler. She kneels down to him,  looks back at me and begins punching him repeatedly.

I begin yelling at her to stop, banging my fists against the glass, but it doesn't break. After a minute or two she points to something behind me. I turn around slowly and see that all the other mirrors have taken shape.  All displaying my worst fears, my love ones being tortured no way for me to help them, even me doing some of the torture. Being left to die, completely helpless. I'm frozen, unable to say or do anything. My palms sweat, eyes water, and my throat is dry.

This is real fear, it's different from being scared. Being scared just feels like a figment of your imagination, you know it's not real. But to feel fear, it's to have no logic or reason exist, to have anxiety writhing in the pit threatening to consume you.

But I can't let this happen, I close my eyes and begin singing. I simple song that I heard from a movie. My heart rate slows down, I dry my palms and I am now filled determination.  I have to beat whatever twisted game this is.

Then the next thing I know a semi automatic appears in my hands, it's a bit weighty and the metal shines. My finger makes its way to the trigger as if it's second nature. I take aim and fire, the sounds of bangs and shattering glass fill the air. I watch the glass fall and the surroundings gradually change around me.

The gun disappears and and I am now outside, the school's field. I hear a low growl, dark beady eyes meet mine. A German Shepard makes it way towards me. It stares me down clearly ready to strike. If I don't play this right I will be its next chew toy.

My eyes stare at its paws. I slowly kneel to the ground and sit there completely still. I close my eyes at it inches closer. I feel something wet and soft glide across my cheek.

I open my eyes and the German Shepard has transformed into a puppy with a soft and content bark. I pat it's head and a smile finds its way onto my face. Suddenly a high pitched voice cries out, "puppy!" It's a little girl no more than 8 years old, with a pale face and white blonde hair. A smile finds its way onto my face at the sight of her joy. But it immediately leaves when I realize that the puppy has turned back into the vicious dog.

It growls  flashing is razor white teeth, and pounces in the girls direction. She bolts out of there and the dog follows. I immediately leap to my feet and follow them. I break out into a full sprint, and propel myself foward, tackling the dog.

But when I open my eyes I'm sitting in a train car. It's practically empty, except for the little boy sitting in the corner of the train. Sitting in a small pool of his own blood, his tiny hand pressing against his side. I rush over to him, moving him so his head rests on my lap. The blood is a strange crimson color almost unnatural. His eyelids are heavy threatening to shut permenatly. I place my hand on his cheek, and whisper, "What's your name?" He whispers, "David." He reaches a lock of my curly hair and plays with it.

David: he suddenly asks,"Am I going to die?"

Me: my heart aches but I decide to tell the truth "Yes I'm afraid so, but you shouldn't worry, it's a natural part of life itself. You can go on to live in a nice peaceful place. Just trust me."

He nods and his eyes begin to close. I place a kiss on his forehead, as his body loses all life. He's gone now, with his eyes closed like that he almost looks like he's sleeping, but that's far from the truth.

My eyes close but when they open I see Tori seating next to me. She removed something from my head I am lost for words. Tori calls Jeanine over, they both nod in approval at me. Jeanine says,"I am pleased to tell you passed the 1st stage  and are now fully initiated into our program. All that's left is to get you there."

Next thing I know a needle pierces the skin of my arm, I immediately feel tired. But I managed to ask, "What program where am I going?"

Tori: replies, " We're going to a place called the Bureau,  and the program is called Youth Prime."

And once again everything goes black.
