Five's Fate

Time for Thinking

Day Fourteen. Two weeks now. Long two weeks. I'm not so bored anymore. I look and fiddle with the physics book Nine threw at my head. I read some parts, look at the pictures and diagrams. Flip the pages just to feel the texture on my hands. It's not being at an amusement park but it's entertaining enough.

Food is slide under a flap in the door. In here there are two doors blocking me from the outside world. The first one is normal, the next has a gap to put stuff through. So I don't need to see anyone. And they don't need to see me.

I keep thinking back to John yesterday. When he was asking for real if he could trust me. I consider the answer. Yes, I had said. And it was truthful. I think to myself and imagine what it would be like if we pretended nothing ever happened. If we were just a bunch of kids messing around after saving earth. But that reality will never happen. At least not for me.

Day Fifteen. I don't see anyone again at all. I just read the beginning of the textbook.

Day Sixteen. Still, no human interaction since John was here. I smell and feel disgusting. So I look through my bag of belongings and find a cloth and use it and the sink to clean myself up.

Day Seventeen. Reading the physics textbook is boring. Sometimes I take interest other times I'm blankly staring at the pages. I desperately want to go outside, have my legacies and feel free. But all those things are impossible in here.

Day 18. Day five of doing nothing. John was in here not too many days ago going on about how are they supposed to trust me now. I don't really know.

In my defense, what happened started when my Cepan died, I got lost in a crazy world where I was taken in by the Mogadorians and they changed me. I had gone with them to protect someone I considered family. Then I was lied to and tricked into thinking what I had been told was wrong. I went along with their plan, but when I killed Eight I woke up. What spell was on me had been removed and I didn't know who I was anymore.

I let the others take Eight's body, and tried to help Ella. I had decided I didn't care anymore who won.

But when I got hurt fighting with Nine, and John saved me and I saw the vision of Pittacus and Setrakus Ra I realized I was wrong.

Then I convinced John to let me help fight a crazy monster that wanted to kill us. Then they took me, prisoner.

I taught John how to fly, he stopped Marina from blinding me. And later I got to kill a bunch of Mogs. Then I helped defeat Setrakus Ra; all the while they still didn't trust me.

Then I only sorta survived and a year later they found me. And that's my life story.

Day 19. I'm tired. I don't question what they feed me I just eat it and it doesn't seem to give me a lot of energy.

I stare at the book. Tempted to read it or look through it again. I do and time eventually passes.

Day 20. Time does not go by quickly. I haven't cleaned myself in almost two weeks and I'm feeling nauseous. I wonder what's happening outside my door. If I'm being guarded constantly or not. I want to leave my little room.
