The Continuous knocking on my door signalled that it was time to get up. "Im awake" I slured tiredly. The knocking became quieter but didn't stop. "Im here, stop knocking" the knocking got even slower but still didn't stop "stop knocking" my tiredness gave way to an ugly rush of anger and frustration. "Non-patient idiot!" I mumbled On my way to the door, as Eric came barging in, almost knocking me to the ground.
"I heard that" he said looking tired and frustrated. I looked out the window, that was right next to my bed, and found complete darkness "What time is it?" I asked in an angry and upset tone as I quickly ran back into my bed and pulled the covers over top of my self. I flashed him an if-looks-could-kill stare when his reply was that it was 'just one o'clock in the morning', as he sat down on the end of my king sized bed the lights flickered on and I could see all of his rough features. He made his milk chocolate eyes wide and innocent.
The tension left the room almost as quickly as it had come. "Why are you here?" I asked suddenly curious "and what's with the knocking? Your going to be the death of me, I swear" I said rolling my eyes as he acknowledged the heavy sarcasm in my voice "couldn't sleep" he admitted, then He pulled back the purple covers on my bed and jumped in so quickly, I didn't even have a chance to stop him.
"I could have been naked you know" I said pondering possible outcomes to that situation. "I dream about that every single night" he replied with a cheeky glint in his eyes.
Then we were interrupted by a familiar voice "Izy, your father needs you and Eric Dr.peaters wants to talk to you" my best friend Charlotte came in to my bedroom, she was tall and strong willed, beautiful with eyes the shade of grass and her hair was blonde.
As she did I pulled the sheets all the way up to my neck "If your wondering why I am the personal messanger it is because both of you have your phones on silent, I am the closest one to you Izy and I got woken up to my phone dinging with messages for you two" her tone cold and the accusation present in her voice "and that very loud conversation you two were just having"Judging by the way Eric broke into hysterical laughter, my face was the deepest shade of red imaginable.
Then out of the blue her tone completely changed "do you sleep naked?" her voice barely audible but the curiosity ever present. "I wish, I'm leaving before You two can put anymore dirty thoughts in my head" eric got up flashed me a perfect white toothed smile, winked and started jogging down the hallway.
"did you two just..."Charlotte started but I got her meaning early and cut her of "NO!!!, no We most certainly did not, there is nothing like that going on between me and Eric, we haven't even kissed yet" I felt like I wanted to melt into the floorboards. I did not want to have this conversation with anyboady. Especially Charlotte.
"YOU HAVENT EVEN KISSED YET!!!" She practically screamed at me. The way she went about it made me uncomfortable and her facial expression made me feel like I had committed something horrible like murder.
A tall lanky man that suported deep purple bags under his eyes, cleared his throat to get our attention. My eyes immediately found the sorce of the noise and studyed the man in my doorway. He literally looked like he had been through hell and back, and while he was there got hit by a train. There was no other way to describe him.
"Good morning president cambel sir" Charlotte said in a soldier like manner. "And to you miss Davis" his voice sounding the complete oposite to his looks, calm and collected.
"Good morning dad" I said in a cheerful tone, very thankful for the much needed interuption. "Good morning darling" he strained a tight smile. "I need to talk to you about something very important..." His voice trailed off and his face fell from the tightly smileing father to the very stressed president that he was.
At that very moment I knew that it was not a joking matter, it was serious, something was very wrong, and I also knew that whatever it was, was going to affect me, my family and my closest friends.
Walking down the hallway I noticed my fathers lengthy fingers were twitching wildly at his sides and he was trying to conceale the fact that what he wanted to talk to me about was not 'very important' it was 'completely life changing'.
I also noticed that even though I have lived in this very house for almost sixteen years. I haven't actually been anywhere inside it.
i have in fact never even noticed the secret passage ways behind the massive portraits, the hidden levers and buttons that activated them or that instead of being a one story house (which is what it looked like to a normal person) it was in fact a whole forty-seven story headquarters for the president.
Also to a normal person the house looked like it was on a hill, but as it turns out all around it is a very high-tech cloaking device that was specifically designed to hide the other forty-six stories from people that wanted to steal things from the presidents home.
What I mean by very high-tech is that it not only looks like a hill but it also feels like a normal hill, when I was younger me and Charlotte used to roll down the side of it and play games on the surface of it. It kinda creeps me out that now I know the whole time we were playing people were watching us.
at the end of the hallway we turned left and than took a right, than another two lefts, I think? and then it became to confusing to remember. By the time we stopped I was so dizzy that it felt like the floor was trying to tip me upside down, and I silently willed my mind back into focus.
When I could see clearly I found that the hallway we were walking down came to a dead end and I thought that we must have taken a wrong turn or something, but as I turned around and went to walk back The way I had come, my father grabbed my arm and spun me to face the wall again.
He moved aside a picture that was of a pale skinned women with dark green eyes, oily black hair and a half fearful, half horribly sad expression. He tried carefuly not to meet her eyes and I wanted to know who she was but decided right then was not the best time to ask.
Behind the small portrat was an old fashioned lock that required a password. He met my eyes and in that look I new he was sorry but he did not want me to know more than I had to. I was anoyed that he didn't trust me but I turned to face the oposite wall while he quickly typed in his password. When he was finished he beaconed me to stand next to him. I immediately followed and right before my eyes an elevator appeared.
When it opened my father steped straight in. At first I was hesitant, where and how fast was the tiny metal box going to go? I hated the feeling I got when my stomach dropped. My father sighed and his facial expression stared to turn impatient. I reluctantly stepped inside the small metal cage, I closed my eyes as the doors closed and prepared my self for the long ride down.
"Where are we going?" I said to my very calm and professional looking father. "Down" he replied stating the obvious, then laughing at my facial expresion. My father was not the humorous type so I was confused and sick and dizzy and I had to admit I would have looked pretty ridiculous. We both laughed the whole rest of the elevator ride, and when the doors finally opened we fell out and fell to the ground in ridiculous balls of hysterical laughter.
"Um...mr. President sir?" a women's voice caused my face to go bright red. Me and my father automatically stood, brushed ourselves off and faced the red haired women, whose voice had interrupted our silly little laughter fit.
One of her eyebrows was raised slightly higher than the other and her eyes were wide. Obviously seeing the president do anything that wasn't perfect or professional was a new thing to her. "You two need to follow me right now" the urgency in her tone unnerved me. Why did I need to follow her?
she lead us to the end of a long corridor and into a massive room with a massive table in the middle of it. Against one wall were millions of televisions and along the other were millions of pictures of people that I didn't recognise. It was than that I realized all the seats on the table were occupied except for three in the corner.
My father lead me to the empty seats in the corner and sat down next to a bulky, brown haired man with hypnotyzing golden eyes. the seat on the other side of him was unoccupied so I sat in it, and the red haired lady also known as Clarence sat on the other side of me.
As we got settled a mechanical voice said "we're going live in five, four, three, two, one" the room became deadly silent as the televisions switched on and each one was supporting a male and a female leader that sat Towards the front. The rest looked more like body guards and crazy scientists.
My father was the first one to speak "as you all are aware there has always been a rift between the North side and the South side for quite some time, But now they are attacking us.The south side attacked first so our actions are going to be as a result of self defence, the South side attacked a small town near my headquarters and murdered several teenagers. However the adults and the younger children were not touched. This raises suspicion as to what there plan is. But in light of the new events we have decided to be prepared for war." my heart skipped a beat, did he just say war? No that can't be right can it? And sixteen? I'm turning sixteen in three weeks, eric in four months and Charlotte is turning seventeen in two days.
"President cambel sir how do you propose we do that?" A young looking male voice questioned the president "We have millions of army's at our disposal, but seen as though the south side are attacking defenceless teenagers, we need to be ready. I have decided to make it compulsory that as soon as your chid turns sixteen they will go throught two different training courses one physical and one mental" he took a deep breath, cleared his throat and went on "so to sum up what we are doing is, we are planing to make our healthy young teenagers...into the most powerful generation possible" the hidden meaning in his words worried me, and so did the wicked smile that crossed his lips.
I was not used to my father looking so power hungry that it knocked me of my seat. I fell to the floor with a loud bang and around about four hundred sets of eyes locked on me.
I snapped my father out of his horrible daydream and he was staring at me with confusion and a look that kinda said what the hell! Are you alright, and get up your embarrassing me all in one.
I couldn't surpress the urge to giggle and my voice came out high pitched. Then in the middle of laughing I started crying and ran out the door. When I was half way down the hallway I stopped and sat down next to the wall, I tried to remember what that whole meeting was even about but I couldn't. All I could feel was the tempting urge to laugh, shout, cry,run away, punch something and scream at the top of my lungs.
I was too enveloped in my own emotions to notice the scene going on around me. My father had come out of the meeting and called Dr. Peaters, he had eric and brought him as well. My father was telling him to inject something in me and Eric was trying to stop them. Dr. Peaters pulled out a gun and shot eric in the arm.
I didn't see blood or any thing because I looked away, but at that moment Dr. Peaters rushed to my side and asked me questions that sounded like mixed up letters and words and numbers on fingers. I could swear that he had seven on one hand, but when I didn't repliy he pulled out a syringe, filled it with bluefish stuff and injected it into one of my veins. I automatically became drowsy and struggled to keep my eyes open. In the end I gave in to the darkness.
I woke up in a very strange bed that had a plastic cover over the mattress itself than a white sheet on top of that. I was wedged in between the sheet and the far to thin blanket. When I opened my eyes my gaze fell to eric who was asleep on a very uncomfortable looking plastic chair. As I was staring at him he started to stur, than his eyes poped open.
He looked straight at me and blinked way to many times. "I'm not going to disappear right before your eyes you know" I said starting to get anoyed. "And there's the nasty izy that I know and love" his eyes laughted and his facial expretion lit up.
"Where are we?" I said looking around the small unfamiliar room. "We are in a medical room on the medical floor of your house" he replied calmly. "And why didn't you tell me that your house was the presidents headquarters?" He sounded hurt and betrayed. "Because I didn't even know" I replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
My mind went back to that night. "Didn't you get shot? I must be dreaming, I want to wake up now" I said pinching myself."ow!" Eric sighed "your not dreaming Isabelle, I'm right here. Dr. Peaters shot me with a tranquillising dart gun because I was stopping him from getting to you" my face must have looked angry because he quickly added "he is the good guy Izy. If he didn't get to you your overload of emotions would have killed you" he stared at me willing me to understand.
"Is that what Dr.peaters told you?" I spat at him. "Izy please. Don't. Not here. They monitor everything and I haven't seen you for a month , I love you izy and I don't want to be angry with you right now please just don't" my head started spinning, he loves me? No one but my family has ever said that, and how can he be sure that he actually loves me?
Than my mind dwelled on the fact that, he hasnt seen me In a month. A MONTH!? Is that how long I have been knocked out for? How much of that blue stuff did he give me? What was the blue stuff? Why are my emotions running wild all of a sudden? Why does eric trust dr. Peaters?wheres Charlotte? All of these questions were bubbling up inside me, I need to know the answers.
"I will call Dr.peaters, you don't look so good"he said acknowledging my appearance. "Don't. You. Dare!!!"I said while my emotions were reaching maximum capacity.
I ripped all the machines off me and ran to where I thought the elevator was. I jumped into the elevator and the doors closed before eric or Dr. Peaters could get in. I didn't even think, all those machines and needles that were attached to me where probably keping me alive. When I ripped them all out not only did I give myself massive, purple, swelling bruses on my arms and legs but I also increased my chances of death.
Not even looking I just pressed random buttons on the door and the elevator shot up wards making me feel like I was apart of the floor. When the doors opened I forced myself out of them. Where the hell was i? I just walked around and looked in rooms until a friendly looking nurse came down the hallway.
I accidentally scared her and she droped all the papers that she was holding to the floor. While I helpd her pick up her papers I noticed that she looked remarkably familiar, her bright pink hair that was styled in two plaits down either side of her head was the thing that stood out the most, closely folowed by her almost flouro pink eyes.
"Do you where contacts?" I asked out of the blue. "Um... No, it's my natural eye colour and I died my hair to match. What do you think? Does it suit me?" Her calm energy made me relaxed.
"It totally suits you, you look amazing"
"thanks, my name is Sophie, sophie Paige-Taylor" "your welcome and my names Isabelle, nice to meet you" her expression completely changed and she looked realy scared.
"you don't mean the presidents daughter Isabelle do you?"
"Oh yeah my father is the president"
"oh no this is not good" she looked frantic "the president has ordered that we do not have any contact with you as you are unstable and we are not worthy of your presence"
"you make me sound like I'm a queen or something" i laughed, but her face went serious.
"I'm not lying"
"meet me in the market at two o'clock and don't be late"she whispered in my ear than ran off. I was so confused. Why was my father isolating me? Dose he not want me to have friends?
So hear I am, at the market at two o'clock precisely. The market was massive and I wondered how the hell I was going to find Sophie in a place as big as this. But as it turns out a bold little bright pink haired girl is not at all hard to spot. In fact she stands out like a sore thumb. Not only that but she was questioning everybody. "Have you seen the presidents daughter at all sir? Have you ma'am?"
"I have!"I yell over the noise and walk up right next to her. "Have you ma'am?" She said not bothering to look up at me. "Earth to Sophie" I say and she turns and looks at me. Her expresion changes. "Oh I'm so sorry Isabelle!"
"Call me Izy and its fine, Can i tell you that you are very easy to spot so next time you want me to meet you some where crowded just stand out in the open" she smiled at me, and I was so surprised when she asked.
"So how are you, how was yesterday and how do you like what you have seen of the market?" I looked all around me and took in my surroundings, because when I first got here my mind was set on finding Sophie not looking at everything. "Are you ok?" She asked me looking puzzled and woried. "Yeah I'm fine. Just being the presidents daughter and all, I have never actually seen a market before. I have always just expected it to be small, quiet and not so busy."
"Yeah it's the polar oposite isn't it?" she said laughing. "Yeah it's definitely not small and its defenetly not the quietest place ever"
"definitely!" She yelled over the screech of a microphone."sorry."
"No Its fine, Its absolutely fine thank you for inviting me" my day was turning awesomer by the minute. "So what is it that you want to talk about soph?"
"already starting with nicknames iz?" She smirked at me and then her face dropped and she turned pale and almost fainted as she looked behind me. "Iz are you sure that you weren't followed?" She asked as I turned to see what she was gawking at.
Three massively strong looking men were coming straight towards us. I caught the eye of the leader and he looked strait at my eyes, boring a hole inside my head. His gaze was so powerful that it sent me to my knees, in fact his whole body was radiating power. I couldn't help but feel like I knew him from somewhere, but I couldnt place where I had seen him.
"Excuse me miss cambel," the big bulky leader Spock first. "Oh, crap you know my name, I knew my dad sent you" I . muttered under my breath and shook my head. "Miss cambel, you father would like us to escort you back home... Now"
"excuse me? You know that you are not my father and if you want me to go home with you right know I need to see proof" I crossed my arms and turned up my chin like a spoilt child.
"If you were planning on annoying me I'd think again" he said in mock seriousness. So being the curious child that I was I decided to push his buttons a bit more and get him dangerously close to falling off the hypothetical cliff.
"Yep I have thought about it and I'm going to annoy you anyway" I smiled sweetly at him.
Than out of nowhere he justpicked me up as if I weighed no more than a feather, flung me over his shoulder and started walking off. There was really no point in struggling so I just huffed and crossed my arms again.
From where I was hanging I could see an upside down Sophie with a really funny confused look on her face. I couldn't help it, I let out a giggle. "Don't worry soph I'll be fine, this is how my dad always treats me" my head was starting to hurt so I just closed my eyes.
As I was starting to drift of I somehow developed a keen sense of hearing and I heard Sophie mutter under her breath. "Wow he really has her fooled thinking that he's her father. He's gone to far this time. Izy is a lot of things but none of those things is a toy, she's too important" than she walked off. I must have imagined it or something because, one; there was absolutely no way that I could have heard her from here. Two; if I did somehow manage to hear her nick was my dad, wasn't he?
The car ride home was bumpy and deathly quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.
Then the leader spoke "so, we got of to a bad start" he looked at me as if to ask if he should go on. I gave a slight nod of my head and he visibly relaxed. "Okay, my names Antonio and this" he said pointing at the other big bulky man next to him "is benjamin" he curtly bowed to me.
"So Antonio and Benjamin, what is the meaning of walking into the market, picking me up and draping me over your shoulder like I was a rag doll, then shoving me into a car against my will?" It was Benjamin that spoke first. Really bad move. "We were only obeying the president, your fathers orders" as he spoke he looked up at me and straight into my eyes as if to challenge me.
I death stared him with all the rage and hate I could find I bore a hole straight through his head.
I was angry, I was upset but not at them at my father. I had lernt a lot over the past week. My father had kept a lot of things from me. The headquarters, the pasword for it, he has been reducing my contact with outsiders and he has reduced my contact with humanity.
What I was not expecting was what happened next.
Benjamin started to turn purple. His hands when the to his throat. "Izabel jade cambel!" Came the unmistakeable voice of dr Peaters himself. I was to focused to turn to face him. "Izabel look away right know!" At that moment the car door flew open and I was distracted. As soon as my gaze left Benjamin he crumpled to the floor in a heap and blood started coming out of his mouth
"Get him on the stretcher! Hurry up the girl knocked him clean out. He's lucky! I barely got hear in time" is what I heard in that background. Sudenly the edges of my vision started to go black. I fought it and tried not to give in but I was exhausted. So I gave in to the darkness, I let it devour me.
I woke up in an all to familiar plastic covered white bed, with a thin scratchy blanket wrapped around me. I looked ar.ound. I found out that I was hooked up to a lot of life saving machines. Instead of stupidly yanking them out and bolting for the elevator which ,I found out the hard way, was not a terribly smart move. Instead I just layed back and fell asleap again.
The second time I woke up there was a young, pretty, female doctor in my room writing things on a clipboard with a dark blue pen. "Good morning miss cambel" she said smileing brightly. "Good morning miss..."
"Dr. clint"
"you look really pretty in that white coat! It exentuates your piercing bright blue eyes." I smiled.
"Thank you." She looked at me than at my clothes and made a face. "Let's get you cleaned up my dear." She said as she came over and carefully removed all the needles and used bandages to stop the bleeding.
"Go jump in the shower and i will go and get you some fresh clothes." She left the room and I walked into the bathroom. I was to tired to really see what it looked like, so I just made my way to the shower. "Hey" there was a light knock on the bathroom door
"miss cambel! I have your clothes. I will put them on the chair right outside the bathroom" with that i could hear her footsteps leave the room. From the way that I heared it, she had stoped right outside the door.
"Thanks dr. Clint"
"it's not a problem dear!" She yelled over the shower water.
I got out and got dressed into the nice little blue top and the jeans that she had brought me. "You can come in!" I yelled towards the door and almost immediately the door swung open to reveal the young doctor. She cheacked everything to see if I was alright to leave.
Once she was done, there appeared someone in the door and he sent me straight to my fathers office. "Isabel Jane cambel " he said with a disappointed shake of his head why would you decline a direct order? Why would you ignore your fathers request? Why and how could you disrespect your own flesh and blood at a public event? Why would you? He raised his head and looked me in the eyes. I expected to see betrayal writen all over his eyes, or at least sadness. What I found there not only shocked me but it also scared me. His eyes were glassed over and emotionless, like a zombie seeing and feeling nothing. It was then that I realised. He hadn't actually spoken to me.
"Miss cambel?" I felt a slight tug on my sholder but I was too tired to move so I lay still and fall back into a lovely dream about mythical creatures that roam on mythical grounds and that dream a strange looking creature came over to me and opened it mouth and said "miss CAMBEL!? I know that you are alive which is a good sign, but I need to know if you can sit up and open your eyes. Can you do that for me miss cambel?" Now as I lay there lost in my dream and pondering why a strange creature would ask that of me I realise.Back to reality.
I sit up abruptly and my eyes shoot open. I scan the room to find out where I am and I figure out that I am back in my hospital bed. I calm myself, as I lay down my eyes wonder to the strange looking creature that's sitting next to my bed.
To be compleatly honest it looks like a squished tomato and it's looking at me funny. The new creature lets out a breath and her face is a mixture of emotions; scared, embarrassed,worried,happy and above all relived. "Miss cambel you gave me a heart attack with your abrupt awakening" she sighed. "What happened to me?" I ask Sudenly worried because I couldn't recall anything that happened. The strange creature looked at me funny again "don't you remember me?"
"No I cant remember ever meeting you, sorry" she starts to look distressed.
Crap what the hell am I going to tell nick? Man he is going to rip me to shreds. I thought I gave her the right amount. Just enought to clear her memory of going into her fathers office. I obviously gave her way to much because she dosnt even remember me.
"Wait, what? You cleared my memory? Why?"
I don't think I have seen anyone run out of a room so fast in all my life. She literally flew out the door and into the elevator and she stood there constantly pressing the down button. I swear that even if you were the dumbest person it the world you would be able to tell that she was scared out of her mind. She looked like a kid in a candy store when the doors finally opened. She was gone in a matter of seconds after that.
Looking around I started getting board so I went to get up, but as I stood on my feet my legs gave way and my arms were like jelly so I fell straight on to the floor and knocked myself out. again.
man this girl has got to stop knocking herself out! She is a walking disaster. It's such a shame, I wouldnt go out with her if she wasn't so god damn cute. oh my god! I slowly opened my eyes to see who is sitting in the room and I hope that he is not anywhere near me.
Just my luck he is sitting right next to me, my boyfriend eric. "Did you just say something?" And delusional? God this girl is to much trouble. More trouble than she's worth anyway. Ok I need to be brave and I need to stop this relationship I've just got to breath and tell her what's wrong. Eric took a deep breath and his face turned serious "liz, we need to talk..."
"Uh hu just let me have a shower first" I said trying to formulate a plan. Somehow I could tell that the voice inside my head was somehow coming from eric. I knew that he wanted to brake up with me. For some reason I didnt feel sad, I felt kind of happy to be honest.
I got out of yet another hospital bed, but as soon as I stood all my memories came flooding back to me and I had to sit down again. "Wow, liz are you alright? Do you need me to help you?"
"No it's alright"
"but let me help you"
"no get off me!" He pushed me down on the bed and got on top of me. I was scared out of my mind.
"Don't worry it won't hurt" he said mockingly. I had never seen this side of him before. "Get OFF!" I screamed and tossed him to the other side of the room. Giving evidence to the saying you don't know your own strength.
I waited a minute before going to check on him. I had knocked him out cold. I started to panic, then I got myself together. I walked out of the room and to the elevator. It was then that I realised I had no idea where to go. I whent back to my room and did the only other thing to gain attention. I screamed. Not knowing how powerful that was I had corrupted and broke the shield that made the house look and feel like it was on a hill. I had smashed every singly window on the building and knocked a lot of people out that were close to me.
And man did I get the attention that I wanted. Everyone that was conscious had run to my aid so I had fifty or so people running about for me.
Crap! I wonder if she's figured out her power yet. I heard as dr Peaters walked over to my bed. "What powers?" I said before thinking. As I said it dr Peaters stoped cold in his tracks. He didn't move speak or think. Frozen solid to the floor.
Then I stared getting mad that he wouldn't answer me. As I felt this new emotion dr Peaters was thrown by some force straight into the wall. Then he started to chocke. It was almost as if an invisible force was chocking him. Everyone was trying to help him but know one understood what was going on.
"He's a goner" said one of the doctors behind me "pardon me sir, what Did u just say?"
"He's almost dead if not already". I was so confuzed and angry at what I couldn't understand.
"Isabelle stop! Please stop!" Was the last thing he screamed before his death.
i never saw what happend next, but i had a pretty good idea. i got a new doctor. dr. olive pathiest. when i came near everone backed away. the whispers and the blame fell heavily on my shoulders. the place went grim and dark.
i cut it off with eric and i was ready to strangle him when i saw what was written all over his face, relief, pure relief.
my father keeps me locked up in a hospital room with bars on the windows and the door has more than five locks that only he and olive have the keys to. I didn't protest. The world was to dark to see, every thing covered in blackness.
My father had never spoke a single word to me since that day. The blame and hate filled his eyes when I dared look at him. Dr peaters was his lifelong friend. They were inseparable.
He was the only other person that new about the mission. The only one that new what we had to do. And now I know. If hell is real it can't be much worse than this.
"Izabel?" A voice comes out in a whisper but I can automatically tell that it is Sophie. "Sophie?! What are you doing here?" I asked surprised and confused at the same time. "I can't tell you till we are out of here" she whispered. "What do you mean out of here? I can't leave, I'm to dangerous I've messed things up so bad"
"well if we don't leave its going to get worse" "how much worse?"
"Look we don't have much time! The cameras are only disabled for another ten minutes if that! I have to kick the Door down so could you move back a bit?" I shuffled back. "Further" I got up and walked to the other side of the room. "Good, now before I can do this I need you to get the syringe with the blue stuff in it that is right next to you." I reach over and realise that there are seven syringes with different blue stuff In Them. "What syringe? There is more than one!"
"The one closest to you." I pick that one up. "Wait no the one closest to you but is also closest to the bed." I pick up the syringe. "Yes that's the one! Alright"
!SMASH!
The door comes crashing down and standing there is Sophie in a black singlet and black tights looking like a ninja. I got to hand over the syringe but then I realise "could you see through the door cracks?"
"Um no why?"
"Well the syringes were in a jumbled mess and you somehow saw where I was and the coordinates of the syringe and I'm just a bit confused as to how, considering there are no windows where you were standing and no possible way for you to have seen me"
"I will explain everything as soon as we are out of here." She grabed my hand and pulled me to the stairs.
"Why don't you just use the elevator?"
"Because they are really quite slow and there is a back exit that can only be reached by these stairs. "How do you know that?" "Because I put it there". We reached the exit she was talking about, but she stopped me from going out it. "The cameras were back on five minutes ago. They would have sent people to stop us by now."
"Oh here is something I can explain. My father likes ambushing so if a evil or bad person tries to escape or enter he never has alarms or anything"
"so what are you meaning?"
"There are armed people surrounding the house there just hiding"
"well we can take care of that..." She looks around and finds a piece of paper.
"Now I want you to close your eyes and imagine this piece of paper was invisible." I close my eyes and imagine it. I open my eyes and it was gone. "Take it from my hand, go on take it"
"it's not there"
"oh but it is, take it". I reach out and I can feel it beneath my fingers. I take it and turn it over in my hands and I can feel it but I can't see it. It's kind of scary to be honest. "Now we don't have much time left so I need you to close you eyes and imagine yourself invisible" next thing I here Sophie gasp and giggle.
I open my eyes and my clothes are invisible. I can feel them on me but I can see right through them. So I close my eyes and I imagine them back and there they are. "Well that was um something but you have amazing self control for someone that hasn't trained"
"what?"
"Later remember, now we need to get out of here so..." She disappeared "we have to stay together so I'll tie us." "With rope?"
"No with imagination, just like the invisible thing, I will answer your questions later alright? Now make yourself invisible"
"I will try".
I close my eyes and imagine my whole body invisible. I open my eyes and Sophie's not invisible anymore. "What did I do wrong?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I can't be invisible"
"you are invisible. When your invisible you can see other people and things that are also invisible, look down". I look down and the floor is all fuzzy. "It's blurred?"
"Yes that is how you know your invisible"
"oh alright then let's go"
"just wait I have to ties us together" all of a sudden I feel drawn to Sophie. I turn around and somehow I can sense where she is standing. "Done now run!"
We were running and I could see the men were in black clothes with guns and bullets. I could see them crystal clear. I could hear their breathing, they were scared, it was like a thick blanket in the air. I also New what they were afraid of, me. We ran straight past them, there eyes locked on the building waiting for us to emerge. Not knowing that we were already in the getaway car. I felt there helplessness. Then I listened, I could hear them speak but not with their mouth. I heard Thier fears, deep inside their mind. I could hear them, I could hear there thoughts. I must have heard my father's thoughts that day. I looked over at sophie, she was blank. She was driving the car like we were on our way to a holiday house, all happy music. She didn't look happy, she looked...blank. like a robot. "Hey Sophie?" I asked. Nothing, she didn't even a knowledge me. At first I felt a little sad, like I was nothing. Then I got mad. She had just taken me from my home , from my famil- "HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER!" she screamed at me and swerved to car to a stop. I was taken aback. She wasn't the type to snap like that. She must have what i have, the mind reading thing. " it's called mentis lectonium and You say it like it's a disease." She said pointedly, then paused. " Sorry, I didn't mean to be so harsh. I keep forgetting that there's still so much you don't know." She looked exhausted. "were are we going?" I asked suddenly aware that it was getting dark and we were still driving. "home" she replied nonchalantly. "Home?" I replied confused. "Yes izy, home" she said sounding tried and frustrated. I stoped talking and Reyes to go to sleep. "Izy? Ist wake up. We're here" she said softly and shaked me a little. "I opened my eyes slowly. Realising that I was in the back seat laying down. The sun was shinning through the window. "What?" I slurred. I yawned and slowly stretched my arms. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. "Were are you we?" I asked as I opened the door. The birds were all in a line of rainbow. I walked over to them and almost fell back as they all chanted sweetly "hello". I looked around in amazement, the gardens were perfect. All the flowers grew straight and perfect, again, in a rainbow of colours. In fact everything was rainbow in colour. It was the definition of perfection, almost too perfect.I tryed to hear someone, a noise, a movement, anything. I then realised that I couldn't hear sophies thoughts. "Hey soph, how do you read people's thoughts?" I asked politely. "It's actually really easy. You concentrate really hard on something and before long you will be put into a hypersence state. If you can't hear someone's thoughts there they may have some sort of blockage. If you breack that blockage you should forever hear there thoughts on even if they make a blockage again." I tryed to hear them, I focused intently on her mind but there was a wall. I could see it, I could feel it, a brick wall. Then I saw it, a tiny hole in the bricks. I picked at it useing my fingers. I pulled and scratched and clawed my way through the brick wall. I finally made a hole that was big enough for me to get through. Then, I stepped inside.
