The Dying Generation

Chapter Fifty-Two

I sat back on top of Alton's shoulder, leaning against his warm neck. Finally, at peace, relaxed. I felt my eyes flutter open after a small nap I had taken after all that has happened. I reached my hand up to brush my newly redyed hair out of my eyes. Finding it weird to see black hair instead of the fading red hair I have had grown so use to. I yawned, rubbing my eyes with my fists, pushing my glasses up and out of the way.

I glanced around my surrounds I barely paid much attention to, seeing everything... strangely smaller. I looked around rapidly, peering over Alton's shoulder, gripping on tightly to his shirt to keep myself from toppling over.
"Where are we?" I asked, turning my eyes up to Alton.

Alton walked with others around him, of course his friends was here, Cedric, Marshall, and the CTO member Nathan was trailing down behind everyone.
"The Human dimension." He simply answered.

I narrowed my eyes in confusion at him. Why here? What was the reason to be here?
I opened my mouth to ask that question but stopped myself. I glanced back behind myself, behind Alton to see his Father following, with his eyes on me. He stared at me like he was waiting for me to catch on, to understand what was about to take place.

I still wore a look of confusion as I thought about any possible reason we were here for. There's nothing here, there's nothing that would be here that we would want...
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
There's no one chasing me anymore.. We were hiding from the bad people that wanted me, we did catch two. Sadly, the others that were at the lab got away without a trace. I had no doubts that they wouldn't be caught with time. Some of them were originally police who turned bad. They would be found quickly, however, Price was a different story.

So now, they aren't chasing me now while they would be too busy running for themselves from the law that was chasing them.
Cedric wasn't working for those people anymore, and I shouldn't be going back to that lab. I won't be tested on. What else?

Could it...... Could it be possible they are letting me go..? No! They can't be, there's nothing else for me here. I thought I told Alton this before, my parents died and my friends were murdered by Cannibals. While I was asleep when they decided this, I would have thought Alton would have mentioned this to them. I turned my attention back to Cedric, now without confusion, but a look of realization.

He stiffly nodded his head at me like he knew what I was thinking. What is going to happen? Where am I suppose to go? I can't survive out here myself, not when those monsters are running freely around here. I wouldn't last long. I caught Nathan speaking lowly into his walky talky and placing it up to his ear when he had gotten a response back. Something was defiantly going on.

I reached my hand up blindly, reaching out for Alton without looking.
"A-Alton..?" I felt my fingers barely graze over his neck at the same time I finally turned my head to look at him. He twitched a bit from my soft touch.

"Alright, it's just here." Nathan stopped the group, stepping in front of everyone.
"Stay back a bit, they aren't too comfortable with us being here to begin with, they barely trust me." Nathan hooked his walky talky onto his side and onto his belt, when his hazel eyes rested on me, it felt like my heart had stopped.

Not knowing for a hundred percent sure what was going on and just hoping it wasn't what I was beginning to think it was. I knew it had to involve me.

"Ms. Geltz, may I?" He held his hand out to offer for me to get on.

I felt my body try to make me pull myself away, feeling a discomfort rise up in me.
When he had said that name, I almost had to ask who he was talking about. With my forgotten memories that had came back to me, the name was almost unfamiliar.
