Haha...it seems i am back. Finally got my mojo back and have a few surprises up my sleeves. For those who read this chapter before IM SORRY (remember Stolen Soul; Hidden Secret? Yes I deleted it...there were faults *sad time, I know*).
BTW, remember Rex? Mentioned in the first book...Claire's cousin that was in prison. Well he's one of the main characters, keep that in mind.
Hope you enjoy this fic...and REVIEW :D
Run. Run. Run rabbit run. Run far. Run away and don't look back. The monsters are coming after you…
Isis' POV
Sure as hell I was running; running was all I could do. I travelled half the world to reach this place, my old home before I was taken from Texas. My new home once arrived from the Middle East. I did not know what to do next. What could I do? I have no family only one person that was left behind for their choices, often mistakes. Wrong time. Wrong place. I tried to tell the people who took him away from me they made a mistake; he had nothing to do with the incident.
They told me something else, not the answer I was waiting for, something that changed me, that made them take charge of me, "looking after me", they said. They did not look after me but turn me into a weapon; a weapon for what I do not know. They took everything that I believed; I trusted and turned it against me. The people I once trusted had lied, all of them but two; a female and male, both related to each other and me. One was living his hell in reality, living in a cage for humans, criminals to be exact, living his life for the price he never paid. The other was living her dream in reality but kicking-ass. Kicking-ass? Is that meant to be literal? It takes me a while to adjust into new (or old in this case) speech, culture. Where was I? America, I'm sure but where?
Urgh! My head… the process is taking fold, I'm starting to adapt. I hate this. Hate it. Texas. That was where I was. Back home. Trying to find, to accept, and to trust once again. After everything they did, taught and said to me, I was trying to be free, to become whole again, to remember and to become me.
With instincts from my old self, I started to embark a new idea that sprung into my frozen mind moments ago- to try and find rebuild my life and I had to start by going to the two people and inform them of the truth. The truth of what was going to happen if nothing stopped it. But that would mean they would want to know where I was when I was never with them; especially him. I usually visited his lifeless cell once a month at most, but always on his birthday. And her? I never helped her. Would she hate me? I had to seek and tell.
I still can not believe, I had to find the reason and cause. Of what? Of what they told me, that something else, the answer I was not waiting for, that something that changed me, that made them take charge of me. They told me what I am.
Rex's POV
Six months. Six months she has not visited. Where is she? What if something happened to her? What if they already carried out their plan? Urg! I wish I was with her, protecting her like the older brother I am meant to be. I started to kick the stupid wall that was closing me in, it helped with the frustrations. After a few miraculous minutes of not breaking my foot I stopped, ragged breathing filled the eerie room, sweat slid down my face blurring my vision, I was angry. So very angry. It was dangerous to be angry especially near these people.
The people that stole you.
They were watching; watching every move. Watching through the four cameras positioned in that very room not missing anything, giving a shove against the wall I was leaning against I spun and stuck the finger at one of the cameras and stormed off towards the concrete bed. Slumping down I gathered the image of this cage (again) words could not describe it. Covering my eyes with my hand and elbows propped on my knees I began to whisper a song; it was her favourite because it expressed her feelings when she was scared, alone and tired.
"Far Away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from my memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
The starlight
I will be chasing your starlight
until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away, never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
And our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms"
By this time I somehow felt stronger and her presence in the cage. Her voice was angel-like, soft, sweet and slow. She began to sing with me:
"Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away, never fade away
And our hope and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold".
A moment of silence filled the room. "Brother", she whispered. I heard her take a few steps towards me and kneel; she took my hands away from my eyes and wiped my tears. "I'm sorry". Engulfing her in a bear hug I felt her shake from crying, "It's not your fault, none of ours," I whispered comfortingly. "It's theirs. You just have to stay strong. For me, yourself and Claire, okay? And always fight back no matter what they say, okay?"
"But for how long?" she replied sniffing. "You say it like they are going to..." Realization dawned on her face, "No they can't! They've done enough already! Please!"
Two struggles began one with my sister and I- she tried to fight her way out of the hug that I engulfed her in earlier and another outside the cage door.
"Stop struggling, we don't have much time even though I barricaded the door from here," I ordered quickly, instantly she froze. "They're going to take you to her okay? To Claire. From there tell her everything and find as many people to help. We need to stop what we know from happening. It must not reach the others. Whether Claire knows it or not, where she is now is going to save us. Do what you can. I love you Isis".
With those four last words out of mouth, the cage door came crashing down with a crash. Soldiers in navy blue came clambering in. Guns trained on Isis and me.
"Get the child", a low, dark voice ordered. Two soldiers grabbed Isis by her shoulders; they met resistance- I could not let her go.
"Please! Have you not done enough! Please!" Isis cried and fought with all her might as they took her away. Her voice shrinking down the corridor he soldiers retreated. A loud boom of a heavy door shut at the end of the corridor.
Finally letting tears of anger and pain thunder down my face, I curled myself into a ball and let the pain and anger sweep over my body. I gasped in shock as something sharp entered my mind; "Angry. They make me so angry and afraid. They will pay", she thought.
They achieved what they started; a weapon.
Hold you in my arms, I just wanted to hold you in my arms. I'll never let you go. If you promise not to fade away, never fade away.
