Immortalia

Elite

          I know that the morning has come because of Lance brought me some breakfast. Now I am starting to think if he is my butler. This might be the last time that I will wake up in this room because I might die later. No other reasons for me to stay her. Maybe my time has come. This maybe my fate, I’ll face it because I don’t regret my choice.

          “Lance, I am now starting to think that you are my butler. Am I right? Why don’t you just help me escape here?”

          “First of all, it is my job to attend your needs. All of the captured Lightseekers will have their respective Nightwalker assistant so that they may adapt the life of a Nightwalker once they are turned or converted.”

          “Can I ask a question? Is it true that you were capturing us because you wanted to use us as an experiment?”

          “If you’ve ask that question before, I might say yes. But now, it’s not. We are not capturing any Lightseekers because we don’t see any. And there is an order that we can’t kill any Lightseekers unless they are proven as a rebel. We can’t afford to lose any life now.”

          “May I know what have change your mind?”

          “I can’t answer that, even me, I am looking for that answer also. Why do you keep on asking?”

          “It might be my last day that’s why I want some answers to lessen my confusions in my mind.”

          “I am very sure that you will not die today because you are not a rebel.”

          “How did you know?”

          “My specialty is reading the personality through the eyes.”

          “Does all the Nightwalkers have specialties too?”

          “Not all, only those who are born naturally as a Nightwalker. If some are lucky, the converted ones will have their own power too. And once their powers have shown up, they will be one of the Elite and also they will be the assistant of the caught Lightseekers. Because of their capabilities, but if they don’t have it, they will be just workers or slaves.”

          “Here I thought that you are a mere butler but truthfully you are one of the Elite.”

          “But still there are categories for us Elites, the highest ones are the Divino, the middle one are called Supremo, last but not the least Primo which I belong. If we trained ourselves more who knows I’ll also be a Divino. To be elected as an Elder, you need to be one of the highest ones.”

          “So you’re planning to be one of them.”

          “Not exactly but I just want to prove myself to them.”

          “Oh, I see. By the way what am I going to do for this day. Like you said last night I have to face some challenges.”

          “I’m just scarring you; actually it is an interview but not just a simple interview.  I can’t give you any more tips about it. It’s for you to know.”

          “You know you’re unfair, you give me answers but it still has a confusing end.”

          After all this talking, I sit down on the table. I forgot to tell that while we were talking he was setting the table and now he is on the bedroom. Choosing the clothes for me to wear, before, he didn’t always do that. He just brings me some meals. There was this time when I was forced to meet the Elders but unfortunately it was canceled. He was furious about my choice of clothes. I said I don’t care but he told me that it is an insult to them if I don’t wear appropriate clothing. For them, attire is everything. It reflects the personality but I said I’m not one of them. He told me that it is still not a good reason to disobey their ways. He also said that I should be thankful to them because they still let me live until today.  I guess he is right. I think he’s done know he’s coming my way again.

          “Are you done eating?”

          “Not yet, I’m still halfway through.”

          “Better eat it fast or we might be late. It is not good to make them wait.”

          “Fine I get it.”

          Soaking in the shower made me calm my mind. I guess this might be the last time. I am confused already. I know that I’ll always be a Lightseeker. But the way they treat me makes me feel like I am home. I’ve never feel being at home since my father died. Maybe because of the influence of him that’s why I have a big grudge on the Nightwalkers.

          Stepping outside the bathroom I’ve noticed that Lance walked out of the room. I am now trying to wear the clothes he picked. I thought at first that he is a gay because he has better eyes for fashion. Now I know that they are trained for that.

          There is something strange in here. Why do I feel nervous out of the sudden? Is there a commotion outside? I should get dressed quickly.

          “Ally, are you done getting dressed?” Lance knocked on the door.

          “Yes, why?”

          “Hurry, I’ll help you escape.”

          “Why all of a sudden?”

          “I’ll tell you about it later. Just follow me.”
