I woke to the sound of my bedroom door being thrown open.

My Papa walked into my room. I jolted out of bed, my warm feet hitting the cold floor. I shivered.

"Rise and shine, Sasha. Today's a big day." Papa smiled excitedly.

"Huh?" My morning brain was having trouble waking up. I spent too long on Netflix last night. Oops.

"Happy eighteenth birthday, Sasha" This would've seemed sweet if it wasn't for the wicked gleam in my Papa's eyes and his too big a smile. It also felt weird because my Papa never woke me up. In fact, he was never around at all, always "working". 

"Now get up and follow me. Lets go!" He turned around quickly, heading back to the door. I raised an eyebrow but followed Papa anyway. While walking to the door, I grabbed my black jumper and put on some comfy slippers. 

We walked downstairs and down to the basement. I paused at the door to the basement, but shook my head and continued walking. At the bottom of the basement stairs, my Papa typed a password into a keyboard. When we walked through the door, I saw a long corridor and soldiers patrolling it. The had long rifles across their backs and a smaller hand gun strapped at their waists.

I noticed Papa nodding to one of the soldiers. I frowned as the soldier, who had black hair, came towards me. I hesitated in my spot, about to turn around when I felt someone near behind me. I still stumbled backwards when the guy was really closes to me, making me hit against the man behind me. I felt handcuffs around my wrists and a metal mouth mask going around me mouth. 

I cried out in terror and disbelief. 

"Papa?! Why?!!" I cried when I was pushed into a cell. The cell door was locked behind me and my Papa appeared a hand-distance away from the cell bars. He was smirking. 

"Well, Sasha dearest. You are not human, you are a monster. It was clear when you were young. You were too clever for your age, too strong, too unpredictable, so unnatural. You are a danger to society. I think you are disgusting. You mother wanted you away from me, stopping me from finding out what type of monster you are. She gave you a pill to make you normal until you reached adulthood. Now, Sasha, you are an adult. And I'll figure it out. You'll be my test subect, to finding out your species weaknesses."

I could feel my eyes widening and I cried out in terror, anger and confusion. What had I done to hurt him? There are more of my species, whatever I am?! 

"S-species?"

Papa nodded. "Yes, there are more of...your kind. I'll be man to stop you all from becoming a danger to mankind. I will be the man to wipe you monsters out, before you hurt another person."

With that, Papa walked away.

What did he mean? Had I hurt someone before? 

I'm going to die, aren't I?
