The Beginning of the End

Chapter 11

Beck

"Welcome to hell," a voice rings in my ear.

"Hello? Where am I?" I ask the melodic voice.

The last thing that I remember is the mauled man lunging at me, then I woke up here.

"I already told you, you're in hell," the voice tells me, it's a woman's voice.

"No I'm not, hell would be way worse than this," I remark sarcastically.

I have never been the biggest believer in God but I do believe, and I do believe that there is heaven and hell, from what I'm told this sure isn't it.

"Oh really," she says and a light flashes on, it illuminates a small girl with blonde hair draped over her face and blood dripping from her pale face, she is tied to a wooden chair, "this isn't your idea of hell?"

The voice sounds somewhere in the darkness not from the girl, I reply plainly "no."

"Do you even know who she is?" The voice says again.

"No," I repeat.

The girl moves her head to look up at me, "Becky? Beck why are you letting them hurt me? You're just sitting there like you did last time."

Her blood caked face looks back down to the ground again.

"Silvia? No, no, no, you're dead," I cry.

"Do you believe you're in hell now sweetie," the voice says politely.

Silvia was Jane's twin sister, on her seventh birthday we were playing to far away from a camp and she was kidnapped, I found her half dead strapped to a chair, the kidnapper came back to finish the job but instead of doing something to stop him I let him finish the job by slitting her throat. I was nine when that happened and she still haunts my dreams.

"Yes," I tell the voice before being wrapped in darkness again.

Jane

I wake up, blinding white light is everywhere, "follow me," a voice says from in front of me.

"Who is it," I ask.

"Your sister of course, silly," Silvia emerges from the light and hold out her hand.

She is an exact mirror image of me, well of me when I was seven, I take her hand greedily and she helps me up.

"I'm going to take you somewhere special," she says giggling.

We walk hand in hand and she starts singing and laughing, I don't know where we are going, she is the only thing I can see. I am so happy to see her that I don't see the obvious hints that something is wrong until one hits me in the face. A rope wraps around my arm and winds it's way around my stomach until it is so tight I can feel it start to cut through my skin. I scream out of pain and confusion and look at my previously smiling and laughing sister. Her face and body morphs to look my age now, but suddenly long gashes start appearing all over her face and legs and arms. Her blonde hair becomes matted and caked with blood, she smiles up at me.

"Remember when you used to say, whatever happens to me will happen to you because you will always be there with me every step of the way... You lied," she says as her lip splits and bruises.

"No! What are you talking about? Why are you doing this?" I scream, finding myself being shoved onto a chair by the ropes and they wrap themselves around the back of the chair stopping me from moving, I try to pull away from them but the more I struggle the tighter the ropes get.

"You did say that sister. When I was kidnapped, they hurt me, now it's time to hurt you," she smiles but it is crooked and evil.

"You're not my sister," I say bluntly knowing this in my heart.

"No I'm not," she replies.

"Who are you," I scream.

"Your worst nightmare," she says as a knife appears in her hand and she lunges towards me.

Terah

The man in the black suit gives me a tour of what he calls the 'Complex'. He leads me to the final room of the tour which he tells me that I will be working in from now on. He opens the door to reveal strange windows that display moving pictures. He says that this is the room that the Complex is based around. He tells me that children are hooked up to machines (in another part of the Complex which is off-limits to me) that show their worst nightmares. I asked him why and he told me that there is a danger outside of the Complex that is trying to kill every human on earth and the only way to destroy this danger is to use soldiers. The machines take away all the fear from a human and that makes them obedient and not scared of the threat outside of the Complex.

I asked him why he isn't using adults for this instead of children, he told me that children are easier to change then adults because their bodies are still maturing and they are more susceptible to fear. Then I ask him why he isn't using me, he tells me that I am special and leads me back to my room. All I can think about now as I sit on my bed is the strange disfigured people that tried to attack us the day I was taken. If they are the danger that is going to kill all of mankind how can I know that Nova is still alive, or Reece, or Beck, or Jane. Maybe I'm the only one left, but why me how am I important? Well I sure as hell am going to find out! Then I'm going to find my friends... And kill anyone who has harmed them...

Hey how was it finally I decided to add a bit about Jane and Beck's past.
