Chapter 6

I looked straight at May's brown eyes.

"What? But.... How?...How did you know about that box?"

"Oh so Sian didn't tell you about it?....Then never mind" said May.

"WHAT? No no no May this is not how I work, you can't just tell me a part of something and leave me hanging in answers, look May here is something you don't know about me, I am a curious person and when someone tells me something and doesn't complete it I go mad, I start acting like a psycho that's thirsty for answers.
So you better tell me now or I'll let Sian tell me everything."

May laughed quietly then said "okay then go ahead ask Sian, he'll tell you the story of that box in details better than me so go on ask him."

I rolled my eyes "Fine I will."

As soon as I regained my balance on the ground, I opened the door to go to Sian.

"Be Careful don't get lost" May shouted mockingly.

I turned and gave her a 'don't worry I'll be fine' look then, rushed to question Sian, I kept walking until I felt hopeless, he was nowhere to be found. I met Peter instead, he looked mad and bothered, but curiosity was slowly killing me so eventually I asked him about Sian.

Peter looked at me dead straight in the eyes with a glare "You know Grace, if I were you I would not come around me, because you are the last person I would want to see, get it? NOW OUT FLAKE" Peter exclaimed.

"Wait how did you know what my parents called me?" I ignored the fact that he was too rude to me.

"What? You mean Flake? Look I don't know if your parents meant that as a compliment, but believe me I don't, I am calling you Flake because you are weak and anyone here could possibly crash you, you absolutely don't belong to this place." Peter said rudely.

He was playing with my last nerve; I couldn't bare anymore hurtful words.

"Look Peter!" I felt that I splashed a spit on his face as I said his name, but that only made me feel better.

I completed "I don't know who you think you are but you are crossing your red line with me, I didn't hurt you unlike you, you crashed into my house and killed my parents, you should at least feel guilty and treat me better for that don't you think? Or Mr. Peter is too cold hearted to do that? Ha?"

My words only made it worse, Peter's face was boiling from angriness he griped the table next to him and shouted with almost tears in his eyes "YOU THINK IT WAS MY CHOICE? You think I wanted to kill them? I never chose what I wanted to be, this sector demands me, and I have to accomplish what they will, or maybe you think that my parents are still alive? I am like you everyone here is like each other, we came to this place with no parents, stop blaming me for your parent's death, I don't enjoy killing people." he finished with a sigh.

I was out of words, every single word he said was true.

"I...I am sorry Peter you are right. But why do you treat me this way?"

Peter hung his head towards the ground with his hands against the table "Flake, listen, when someone is forced to do something against his will, bad things happen, and what's happening that instead of spending my recesses and free time as I want, I have to tutor you, which takes from my leisure time, do you know how long does it take till someone especially a Flake like you masters his powers? It could take forever."

"You know it's not my fault that you have to tutor me, I didn't choose you, and in fact I objected when I knew YOU are May's replacement." I said.

Peter started walking around the small charging room, the charging room was built for us to wirelessly charge our devices we carried with us, so we could walk around the room working on the device while charging it at the same time, anyway as I said before Peter started walking around the room clapping his hands mockingly.
