Necro: The Untold Story of Illia
By: EffieNecress (Desiree S.)
Chapter 1: A Wish for Freedom
It was a week after being experimented on, and the Illuminati's train laboratory was still as cold, dark, and strange as it had always been since the first time Gill had taken me there. However for me, Illia, now known as the mutant super soldier Necro, it was more like a locomotive prison of pure despair, despite gaining the ability to fight and being able to stretch my limbs and generate electricity from my body. Each night grew even harder, as my longing for freedom grew even more intense than I had ever imagined, and the emotional pain I always felt took a toll on my body, as well as my mind, no matter hard I tried to hide it or hold it back, when all I wanted was to have a better life for myself…
One cold and snowy winter night, I decided to look out the train window, in hopes of finding a falling star. My lovely companion and girlfriend, Effie, had just woken up from her slumber and had a curious look on her face.
"How come you're looking out the window Illia?" she asked me.
"Well Effie, I'm searching the night sky for a falling star." I explained to her, pointing at the sky.
"Oh, I see. What'll happen if we see one?"
"If we see one, we'll be able to make a wish, and I definitely know what I'll be wishing for." I said.
"Whatever you wish for Illia, I'll wish for too." she said, and kissed me on the cheek.
"Aw, thanks Effie." I said with a huge grin, as I embraced her warm body against my own.
We were about to get a little more intimate when suddenly, a falling star appeared in the moonlit sky, striking our attention.
"Look Illia, there's a falling star!" Effie suddenly pointed out at the star, "Now's your chance to make a wish!"
"All right then, here goes."
I took a deep breath, and finally looked at my falling star.
"I wish to one day regain my freedom from this dreaded locomotive prison, with my sweet Effie alongside me, and to one day get my revenge from Gill, the one who did this to me."
I wished, but as I was making the wish, my eyes started to overflow with tears. I tried my best to hold back my sadness, but the tears had already begun to stream down my face and I couldn't help but to quietly sob. I thought about my family, my four brothers, my small lakeside village, and the freedom that I once had before I was kidnapped, mutated, and placed into this awful lab of imprisonment. The pain of my despair was so exhausting and emotionally draining.
Effie then embraced me tightly and began to wipe my tears away with her gentle hand.
"It's alright Illia, I'm sure you'll get your wish." She said, "After all, I wished for the same thing, only I also wished that we'd always be together."
"I'm so happy you believe in me, Effie. I know that one day, our wish will come true, and I'll finally achieve my dream." I said, while softly caressing her.
"Me too, but what kind of dream is it that you have?" she asked out of curiosity.
"My dream is to become a famous opera singer, and to one day strike it big." I said in deep thought, as I finally became very sleepy. "We should get some rest now, Effie. Tomorrow, we'll find a way to escape from this awful place and regain our freedom."
"I suppose we should, if we want to get out of this place. Good night, Illia."
"Good night, Effie. See you in the morning."
We exchanged a long passionate kiss, and went back to our chamber. As I stepped inside my slumber pod, I felt very hopeful and confident about the wish I made with Effie, and I was reassured that I would be able to achieve my greatest dream of becoming an opera singer. I fell into a deep sleep, and began dreaming about the day that I finally get the life I had always dreamed about and wished for.
