Taken Away
I lurched forward and grabbed her holding her small body in my arms. I cried on her shoulder and she shushed me trying to calm me down. I looked up at her and kissed her nose. She smiled and kissed mine.
“I watched you die, how are you alive?” she shrugged and held my hands with hers. She walked out of the bathroom holding my hand and I followed. She walked into the living room and sat beside the fireplace. I sat beside her and held her hand in both of mine. Something pounded on the door we both looked up. Terror set in as I stood. I walked to the door and grabbed the handle. Emma shook her head, as I turned the knob. I was knocked over as shiny metal ran past me. I pushed up on my elbows and looked around. There were men in heavy black armor holding large guns. One was kneeled beside Emma and she looked up at him confused. I shot up and ran over to him pushing him away from her. I looked at Emma and she stared at my arm. I glanced down at my arm and a dart stuck out of my bicep. A cold rush ran through my veins and my eye lids fluttered. I fell down on my back and sound was erased all I saw was a blurry image of Emma hovering over me and she seemed to be screaming or yelling. Black shiny armor came into my distorted vision and Emma was pulled away from me then everything went black.
I opened my eyes and looked around in complete darkness. The cold hard cell I was in bounced up and down. I was in a van I felt warm skin beside me.
“Emma.” I whispered blindly. Someone moaned and the warm skin shifted against me. I felt soft hair brush against my cheek and I looked around.
“Kyler.” I heard the whisper come from beside me. I looked to my right and saw a glint of light. Her eyes, I smiled. I rearranged myself facing where I saw the glint and I moved my hands. I looked down and saw the shine of metallic I was handcuffed. We hit a bump and I felt a light small body land on top of me. Emma moaned and sat up off of me. I leaned onto the cold hard wall of the van and sighed. Lips pressed against my cheek. I turned back to my right and took a blind shot aiming for Emma’s lips. We hit another bump and I hit my head on the roof. I moaned in pain and I felt a hand rub my head.
The van came to a stop and the large doors opened letting blinding light shine into our eyes. Men in black armor pulled us out, I landed on pavement and Emma crashed beside me. I pushed up on my wrists and sat on my calves. I was lifted up and pushed through a metal doorway. I fell on a cold metal surface. I pushed myself up and stood. I looked down the hallway it seemed to go on forever. Fluorescent lights curved on the ceiling and led down the hallway. I looked behind me and Emma lay on the floor. I banged my handcuffs against the wall and they snapped open. I threw them to the ground and helped Emma up. I broke her handcuffs and she rubbed her wrists.
“Kyler, where are we?”
“I don’t know.”
We walked down the hallway slowly trying not to be heard but the floor beneath us dinged and made metal clangs. I wiped blood off of her cheek and we came to a door. There was no handle.
“Where are we supposed to go?”
“I’m not sure, Emma.” To my right was another hallway and to my left was another door. Emma walked to the door and kicked it down. Behind the door was another hallway.
“Are you kidding me?” Emma sighed and walked through the doorway and I followed. Halfway down the hallway a man in a long white coat glanced at us. He stopped in front of us and greeted us.
“Good afternoon, Mr. and Miss. I am Professor Charles T. Riggings I am chief executive of the department of genetic alterations. You may have experienced an unreal creature throughout this week. That is my fault I am very sorry for any chaos and mayhem that had caused you two. You will be safe here as long as you follow my instructions. Follow me.” He walked down the hallway and to a door on his left. Emma and I just stood there and watched. He turned around and waved for us to come. Emma stepped forward and looked back at me. I looked down at my dirty sneakers and breathed in,
“How do we know that we can trust him? Didn’t those things escape from here? How do we know it wasn’t an accident?” Emma looked at me.
“You should trust him because I trust him. And you know I only trust you and my father, Kyler.” I looked up. She had a point, Emma doesn’t trust really anyone and like she said if she trusts him I should too. I nodded and walked toward the professor. He held the door open for Emma and me. He shut it behind us after he stepped in. The sound of tumblers tumbling and locks locking filled my ears and soon drifted off. Emma found a seat at a long metal table in the center of the room. I plopped down in a cushioned chair beside her. The professor sat across from me in a large chair that towered three feet above his head and curving around his shoulders. He folded his hands and smiled lightly at both of us. I sneered and looked down.
“You two had successfully killed our experiments, this is impossible to do. We expected anyone in their perimeter to face a painful death. As I see in front of me this small dainty young lady and this mid-sized young man have killed all nine of these experiments.”
“Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying no one else could kill these ‘experiments’?” I looked at Emma as she blurted out. The professor nodded and continued.
“We would like to admit you two in our high tech military. We would have to make some small alterations but otherwise no harm will be done.” I shouted,
“ARE YOU SAYING YOU KIDNAPPED US BROUGHT US HERE AND EXPECT US TO AGREE TO BE ADMITTED INTO SOME MILITARY SHIT THAT WE HAVE NO REAL DETAILS ABOUT?!” the professor breathed in and looked up at me.
“Sir, I do not expect you to agree to this idea or even stay and learn more. But we are in need of admits, our other admits have unfortunately deceased from insanity…” he looked at us gravely and sniffed. Emma spoke with soft words,
“What do you mean by insanity?”
“The chemicals that we had fed through their veins didn’t increase muscle mass it increased their brain mass. They thought about things and made assumptions soon they all thought we were hurting them instead of helping. All of them were placed in padded rooms and were left to die. They wouldn’t eat because they thought we poisoned their food.”
“Will that happen to us?” Emma was asking all the questions.
“Most likely not, the chemicals were not tested as they should’ve been. We have made changes and they do work, there is only 1% chance what happened to the other admits will happen to you.”
I took a moment before I spoke,
“Why did those things try and kill us?”
“They were programmed with genetic engineering to kill anything not programmed to protect. To sum it up, you and Emma were not programmed for them to protect so they tried to kill you both.” Emma wiped tears from her eyes. I looked at her bandaged stomach and shook my head.
“Professor we cannot admit into this military I’m sorry for disappointing you and your colleagues, but Emma found out she was pregnant while these creatures had shown up. One of the creatures most likely killed the child…and I don’t think either of us could go through something like that again.”
“I assure you, Mr. Johnson and Ms. Reynolds, that your child is still alive and healthy.” Emma looked up at Professor Riggings.
“Wh-wha-what? How do you know that? Are you lying to me?” she wiped her nose on her sleeve and looked at him with her big blue eyes.
“I do not lie to a mother who has dealt with so much.” I looked at him seriously and he gave me a stare only an honest man could give. I trusted this man for no apparent reason. I breathed in mulling this all over.
“One more question.”
The professor looked at me awaiting my last question.
“What advantages would we have if we did join this military?” he thought for a moment and spoke,
“You will have the opportunity to see what a real science base is like. To experience the thrill of genetics and maybe even get a nit for it yourself. You will also experience the strength you thought you could never have.”
“And that’s supposed to be a great opportunity?” I was becoming uninterested at this point. I didn’t see the real ‘fun’ to this project. Emma was clearly unaware of the dangers involving this predicament. The professor sighed from my hard-headedness.
“Kyler, my dear boy, it’s better than it sounds. I promise you that.” I trusted this man so I trusted and believed in his promise.
“Fine, I admit myself into your military. But on the other hand I don’t want Emma being in it at all. She can help and stay here but I don’t want anything else putting my love in danger.” The professor nodded,
“I understand this decision thank you for admitting yourself.” He stood and Emma and I both looked up at him.
“If you follow me, my assistant will escort you to your new headquarters.” He turned to walk out and I grabbed his shoulder catching him. He turned back to me with a questioning look.
“Will I be separated from Emma?”
“It’s not my decision but I would think not. I do not want you two to be separated I will suggest that to my assistant and we’ll see what her decision is.” I nodded sadly and Emma grabbed my hand. We walked out into the hallway following Professor Riggings. He led us to a dark room where small sparks of neon light came from inside. A light sigh came from the back of the room. Professor Riggings flipped a switch and artificial light filled the room revealing a woman with unnaturally purple eyes. I stared and saw strands of bright pink hair had fallen from her tight bun at the back of her head. Her skin was porcelain white and her black eye makeup made you look twice. This woman was so artificial looking and so characterized. Long fingers snapped in front of my face bringing me back. I shook my head and blinked several times then directing my attention back to the woman. This must’ve been Professor Riggings’ assistant. She smiled bright white teeth and shook my hand.
“I heard you are the new admit to our military. It is a pleasure to meet you young man. Such great potential I see in you.” Her smile
