Unknown POV (Foreshadow)
My heart felt a stunning and piercing burst of Icy pain as her venomous words left her ruby lips.
"Chloe." She spoke.
I clutch my chest as I attempt to soothe the throbbing knife like ache that her sharp words sparked.
"No... It can't be." I uttered, burying my head in my calloused hands.
"I expect you to learn from her mistakes, she was warned. This is what happens when you don't cooperate with us. I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodb-"
Chloe's POV (Present time)
"Wait, this isn't right..." The doctor says. Frantically I search for something, anything in D's face. He glances up and me and shoots me a weak smile.
"Your time here is done." The doctor says, peering up at D.
"W-well don't I need to escort her to the designated room?" He defends.
"I've got it from here, thank you." The doctor says sharply. Waving D off with her hand. D turns and walks out of the room, not looking back. Suddenly I get cold, goosebumps find refuge on my arms.
I stare at the doctor, waiting. Listening for her to do something, anything.
Nothing. Eventually she glances up at me, we lock eyes.
A bitter coldness fills the room.
"I'm going to need you to come with me." She says, in a stern tone. I stand up and take a step towards her. She writes something down in her notepad. "Right this way."
"Where are we going?" I ask as we walk through the door D carried me in through. She stares ahead and keeps walking. I grow more irritated with her. "Hey! Can you hear me?"
She continues to walk. As we walk by I notice people looking at me with wide eyes. They look...
Scared.
Eventually we arrive at an unfamiliar door. The doctor stops in front of the door and turns around to look at me.
"You will wait here until I come back." She looks at me expectingly. "Do you understand me?"
"Y-yes ma'am." I studder, shaking from my nerves. She slides her key card over the scanner and the door automatically opens.
I step in. Inside there is two chairs, a coffee table and a camera. The rest of the room is plain. I walk over to the chair opposite of the camera and sit, staring at the camera. The lens twitches.
I continue to glare at the device.
A few minutes pass as I continue to wait. I keep replaying what the doctor said in my head, "You have been selected to be... Wait this isn't right."
What am I? How am I different?
~~~
After what seems like hours, I hear commotion outside the door. Someone is angry, I recognize the voice. I continue to stare at the door as it opens and someone is pushed inside. The door quickly shuts, locking the man inside. I try to see their face but I can't make them out.
"NO! You can't keep me trapped in here!!" They yell, pounding on the door. They fall to their knees and stare at the door. Then they begin to violently punch the steel door. I get up from the couch and walk over to them. I kneel down beside them and put my hand on their back.
Comfort.
He turns his head..
John.
His eyes are bloodshot with dark circles under them.
"Chloe!" He exclaims, as he embraces me strongly. I hug him back, relieved to know he is okay. Tears streaming down both of our faces. I bury my head in his neck. "We need to get out of here Chloe." He says.
Authors thoughts:
Hey! This chapter is partially thanks to @JjdHawks1313
He wrote some of it without even knowing. :D
Did you expect to ever see John again?
After that foreshadow, what do you think is going to happen to Chloe?
So much love - Samantha H.
