Five's Fate

Turmoil and Testing

Day 25. I wake up long after the lights have turned on and my first action is to get sick in the toilet. Once I'm done there I drink and eat what's been given to me. It feels good to finally have something in my stomach.

After I've made the bed and feel better I open the book. I read some more of it and I almost understand what it's talking about.

Later the door opens again and I'm fearful it's the government again. But it isn't. It's John, he enters and nodds his head hello. I nodd back placing the open textbook next to me.

"So here's the deal from yesterday. The government knows your here obviously and aren't too happy about it. Their all mixed up from saying that we shouldn't be given control over "rehabilitation programs" Ya that's what they said and in others ways they don't want to get involved. Some places want to pretend like nothing ever happened. Like aliens didn't come down to earth. So they don't know what their talking about. I however do want to have a plan." He takes a deep breath and gives his body a moment to catch up.

"What the hell!" I say. "I don't care for any of this. Why were they dragging me along and tossing me in boxes if they don't want to get involved." I'm angry and it shows. John games a serious look knowing I might lose my anger again. And I know I have to control it or else. I take a breath and lean backwards more. Trying to ease some anger and show I don't intend to get violent.

"That's the problem they don't know where to draw a line. When they found out about you being in the common room they got all upset. But they said it was apart of out space so..." I take a sigh and nodd. I'm tired of this stuff.

Johns solum. Like there's something more he wants to say. "Can I come out?" I ask calmly. He nodds and shifts his head towards the door. I sit up and begin to walk over as I head towards the doors I see movement right outside the door. The guards raising their weapons. John walks ahead of me and tells them "He's coming with me." And walks forward before they can respond. I walk out looking down. They stop me and pull my hands out in front of me. I step back in attempt to squirm out of their grip. But thick plastic handcuffs are placed on my hands and pulled tight. My forearms are uncomfortably pulled together. Then they push me ahead and I fall to my knees. I quickly get up and try to position myself comfortably.

I walk towards John and suddenly he speaks in my head telepathically. "Don't say anything until we're out of hearing range." He whispers in my head as if they still may be able to hear within our minds.

I think back. "What?" And look at him and I read his face. Just be quiet it tells me. We walk for a while in silence. Most of the lights are off or motion censored. Doors all appear to be closed and even locked. I can tell were avoiding windows. Still a prisoner. For a school for all the new teenage guard it appears to be a ghost town.

Soon were standing in an empty hallway and are more than far away enough of any ears.

"Tired of them listening." He saids fairly.

"Giving you a hard time?" I ask focusing on the cuffs on my wrists. They hurt and I pull at them quietly.

"Ya. Always watching us is all." I nodd my head understanding the feelings of always being watched and not trusted.

John stops walking. "Here's. What this is really about." And he looks at me and I stop and listen. "I want you to meet with some of the new guard." He saids. We start walking down the hallway again. "Just promise your not going to slam their skulls in. Even though their real annoying." I chuckle at the thought of hitting the heads of a bunch of kids and I quickly wipe the smile away.

"Ya. Couldn't do much anyway." I say honestly thinking about I don't have my legicies. But John looks at me suspiciously.

"Your giving me my legicies Back?" I ask not understanding.

"Just for a while. So don't get use to it." He saids with a chuckle but also an expression that saids he's not joking around. And that he'll be watching and right there the whole time. I nodd firmly putting my eye contact to the moving floor.

Soon we approach a door and through

there are a bunch of kids ages between 13 and 16 maybe. Their all laying around looking bored out of their minds. Marina and Six are also inside. I take a deep breath. Some don't notice our entrance, others watch from the movement of the door handle.

I walk to the front of the room John following close behind. Six and Marina stand in the center and I stand off to the side, John hanging around not to far away.

The room is classroom size, there still aren't any windows and the floor is a splashy blue carpet with the students are just sitting here and there. The walls are just regular wood but I have a feeling that there might be brick underneath. John needs to shout out a big "Listen up" to get everyone's attention.

Heads turn to face us and immediatly questions begin.
