Sleeping Beauty (original story)

Chapter Nine

The Perfect Storm

By some miracle they survived which led Melody to another question "what are you!" as she looked in the baby blues that were blood black and thought to herself 'what have i gotten myself into'. He ran with super human speed and hopped over buildings like something out of a terminator movie, was he a cyborg or a.i. or something new entirely but all Melody had to do was figure a way away from him then get off the gird and begin a new life.

"What are you, i repeat, what are YOU?" Sterling finally stopped at an old abandoned mansion that was condemned, did a quick clean up job then went along to talk to Melody "i'm not a robot or something inhuman i am an experiment too now you see the operated on me since i can remember i was raised and changed by those government officials but when i saw you and spoke daily with i just wouldn't be able to live with myself if i let them kill you knowing full well i could of saved you". "So this is a great conversation topic" Melody replied in a sarcastic way because in all honesty she had no idea how to full respond without some kind of panic attack or stroke so she went to her charming trump card, sarcasm.

"So have you ever met your parents or know anything about yourself before that place?" Sterling's eyes looked distant and sad clearly he never knew anything else but how can someone who looks like an angel with the strength of ten men stay with people who treat him like a guinea pig for god knows what they've done to him, in this way Melody and Sterling are the same with no family's and both test subjects on the chopping block.

They checked in at a Hilton in the lovers suit to avoid suspicion both claiming to be high school seniors who want to make some special memories. Once in the room the looming threat of everything that just happened hits them both as if running into a brick wall face first but Melody saw this as her chance to run so she charged toward the door and never looked back.
