It was silent, Completly silent. At least thats all Max new when she came to her senses. When she opened her eyes she could only make out a bench at first. Once the pounding in her head settled a bit she could clearly see where she was at. 'Not Here! They could have taken me anywhere but here!' Max got up from where she was laying and looked out from the cliff. The Lighthouse just to the right of her. Max's eyes looked over the beach that seemed miles away then up to the town that she hadn't seen for years.
Max was angry and a little sad at the sight. Of course she had always wanted to come back to this town. Back to the one person who was always there for her. But as much as she wanted to be here she knew that her presence here would only bring others pain. It was not safe for her to be here.
When Max looked back to where she woke up she saw bag laying there. She went back to the bag and instantly opened it to reveal a camera sitting inside. taped to the the camera was a note.
You are starting classes at Blackwell on Monday. Your Dorm room number is 219. We moved some furniture in the dorm for you already. You will wait for further instructions... Its good to be home, isn't it Max?
Max looked up from the note. Fear quickly traveling through her whole body. This can't be happening. The last thing she could remember was being in that room. The room she has live in for what she would guess has been years now. She remember two men comming into the room. They both were talking about something. She didn't hear the whole conversation but she could remember what she heard.
"I think the opperation was a success." Said the bald man. He was wearing a lab coat and had a clipboard in his hand.
"Good work. Now we need to test it." This man was wearing a suit. His hair was slicked back and his scared lip turned up into a smile.
The man in the lab coat pulled out what seemed to be a white remote out of his coat. He inspected it for only a second before handing it over to the man in the suit. The man in the suit stared at the remote for a second. When he spoke again he didn't even look up.
"Im sure this girl wouln't mind going home. Seeing a few old friends. Maybe even making new ones." The man stopped talking for a second and looked over at the man in the lab coat. " We do afterall have someone who could keep an eye on her there. She can be our ultimate test of how far this can push her." He then smiled again this time looking over at Max who had been eyeing the two the whole time. His smiled didn't seem nice or kind, it looked psychotic like he would have no problem killing her if she stepped out of line. Of course after five years she wouldn't mind if he decided to one day take her life. For years she had dealt with strange men entering the room to do test and take her blood. When there weren't tests she was left alone all day.
The man in the suit lifted the remote and pointed it at her. Max gave the man a confuse look before all she could think about was pain. Her chest felt like it was on fire. All the air left her lungs with this sudden burst of pain. She dropped to her knees gasping for breath. After a few seconds of this the pain finally let up. While she was trying to get her breathing back in order she heard what she assumed was the man in the lab coat say, "Im supprised she didn't pass out from that." He chuckled a little to himself. Max was about to ask what happend when she felt a stinging in her neck. She was suddenly unable to keep her eyes open as she fell the rest of the way to the ground.
Max had started walking from the lighthouse to Blackwell while playing everything that happened over and over in her head. Before she knew it she was walking up the steps to blackwell. A few people were by the steps skateboarding. People were skattered all over the place. Some sitting under trees and others at benches. The first thing that caught her eye was a statue of a man in the middle of a fountain. There were signs all over the place leading her to the girls dorm. She wasn't sure if she needed to sign in or anything for her to start classes but she thought she might as well inspect her dorm room first. This is the first time she has had any sort of freedom in a long time and she going to take advantage of that.
Once she got to her dorm she walked through the hall till she found the dorm number 219. The only reason she is following these intructions that were given to her is becuase she fears they may use people she cared about against her if she didn't. 'What if they aren't still watching me. What if they finally left me alone.' She opened the door to her dorm and stepped inside. 'Don't be stupid Max, of course there still watching you. They wouldn't just let me go after all these years.' She sighed before looking at the walls the had nothing on them. 'I guess I could decorate since a might be here for a while.' She thought with her hand held on the camera bag.
Max threw the camera bag on the bed that had nice sheets and looked at the desk by the window, and then the couch against the wall. She walked over to the couch and sat down heavily. "Home Sweet Home." Max said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
