A Human in a New World: The Secret

Chapter 11

Sarah's POV
As I woke up, my head hurt and I could only see through one eye. I got up slowly and saw that I was in Blake's bedroom. I saw I was covered in bandages and my head also. I looked around when I saw a letter on the nightstand. I grabbed it and saw it was for me. I opened it and read it.

'Sarah,
you have many questions, and I know you aren't in a good state with what happened last night. I am okay, I brought you back and I am at the lake you showed me. If you are able to walk, come see me, and I will explain what happened.

Love,
Blake.'

When I read the letter my heart was filled with joy that Blake was okay. I was confused but knowing him, he will answer the questions I have. I got up slowly, and put some better clothes on. I wore a hood to hide the bandages on my head and made my way to the lake.

Upon reaching it, I saw Blake sitting at the bench we sat at when I brought him home. No one was around and I sat next to him watching over the lake with him.

Blake: I am glad to see that you are okay, despite the injuries.

I remain silent for a bit before responding.

Sarah: What happened. I thought that creature killed you?

I turn to him and Blake continues to look out over the lake.

Blake: After reading the letter I learned what they did to me. The creature you saw that killed the other one, was me.

When I heard this my heart skipped a bit. They turned Blake into a monster?

Blake: I brought you back and I know you may have mixed feelings, but ...

He never finishes his sentence as he sighed. From his voice and expression, I could tell he was scared, unsure of what will happen to him.

Thoughts raced through my head, of what to do now. Thoughts of what was going on processing what he told me. As I thought about this, I then felt that same feeling I felt before, the warm feeling in my chest. He ran out to protect me, he brought me home, and put his life on the line for me. Even if they made a monster, I didn't care. I then hugged him tight. He jumped a bit, but realizing what I was doing he hugged back.

Sarah: Even if they made you into a monster. Your my monster, that I still love.

Blake's POV
When I heard that, my fear of Sarah leaving, fled. Tears came to my eyes, knowing that despite what happened, she isn't going anywhere.

We embrace each other for what seems like an eternity, but soon separate. I wipe away some tears from my eyes, and I put my hand on Sarah's cheek.

Sarah: So, ready to head back home?

Blake: Yeah, I believe so.

We get up and we walk home. Knowing that Sarah is injured, I gotta do what I can to help. Upon arriving home, we entered inside and I told her about project Nemesis, which isn't much since I hadn't read the file yet. After answering her questions as best as possible, I made lunch. I made basic sandwich's
and we ate.

Sarah: What's next now?

Blake: What do you mean?

Sarah: Well, since the people who gave you the abilities you have now created that thing, Mr. X right?

I nod.

Sarah: There's a possibility that they created others.

She had a good point. If they made one, there is most likely others. I will only know after going through the files that I have. Once we finished eating I could see Sarah was tired, plus it doesn't help when you get thrown into a cement pillar.

Blake: You should rest, you need it.

Sarah: But I am not that tired though, and I want to stay up with you.

I smile seeing she wants to be with me but I stand up and pick her up, bridal style, and walk back to my bed.

Blake: You still need rest. You sustained some pretty bad injuries.

She nodded, knowing that I am not budging. She cuddled up to me as I carried her. I smiled. When I reached my bedroom I put her in bed and pulled the blankets over her.

Blake: Sleep well, I won't be very far.

She smiles and she closes her eyes as she falls asleep. I kiss her on her forehead before leaving the room. I sat in the living room, decided to start going through the files that were left for me. If I were to understand more about, not only Project Nemesis, but of the other project they had, I needed to learn what they did. The only thing that concerned me was more tyrants like Mr. X. Let's just hope that was the only one.
