Your Gift

Chapter 1

My name's Eva Johnson. I'm the average 14-year old girl. The whole nanite thing has most people pretty shook up for a while now. Not me. As long as nanites don't try and kill me, I'm not gonna be paranoid about it. Even then, I still probably wouldn't be scared of them. The one thing I don't like is that people kill the Evos. I mean, isn't there some way to save them? Sure they're dangerous but those are people with families!

I twirled my long glossy black hair around my finger as I walked down the middle of the deserted street. My mom will fuss at me when I get home. It'll be after sunset before I get there. Even though there is a bus I can take home I prefer to walk. I gives me time alone and time to think. I heard a loud crunching noise. I stopped in my tracks, looking around for whatever made that noise.

Silence.

I nervously kept walking. Then the noise came again, alot louder and alot closer. I looked into the forest to my right. Nothing happened. No, wait...I just saw something big move! There is absolutely no way that was a deer or something! I picked up the pace about 3 times and kept my eyes on the woods. Just when I began to let my guard down some thing huge jumped out at me and pinned me to the ground. My book bag was torn off by the EVO's claws (that's the only thing it could be!). I got a real good look at it. I think it used to by a deer judging by the antlers.

"AAARRRGH!" The EVO stomped on my right leg, snapping it in two. I bit my tongue till it started to bleed to try and get my mind off my broken leg. The EVO sort of grinned at me, showing all of its long yellow teeth.

Time seemed to slow as the EVO lowered its head to rip a chunk out of my side. Its teeth clamped down on my side. So this it the end, huh? Eaten by a creature I have tried to except into the world. Mom, I love you and never forget that. I prepared myself to wheel up towards heaven. All of the sudden, a sword was sticking out of the deer EVO's head. It let go of me, roared and died in a heap. I was lifted up by strong arms of pine green.

The wind was ripping through my hair soon after. The own blood was beginning to soak through my clothes and my rescuer's clothes. Struggling to stay conscious, I looked up at my rescuer's face. He didn't look down at me, though. He had short black hair and his eyes were hidden by sunglasses.

Then all went black.

I woke up painfully and opened my eyes to a white room. I propped myself up on my elbows.

"Good. You're awake." came a kind female voice. I turned my head towards the source of the voice. She was wearing an orange top and a black skirt(I don't know if it's grey or black so I just chose black) and a lab coat.

"Where am I?"

"In the main Providence base."

"Wha-" Just then the door slid open and the man who saved me from the deer EVO walked in followed by a teenage guy in a red jacket and a...chimpanzee wearing a fez. Man, this place is weird.

"C'mon, Six! What are you gonna show-" the teen looked at me. Then he turned to the woman in the lab coat, "What happened?"

"She was attacked by an EVO while you were gone."

"This is what happens when you decide to run off." The man in the green suit said sternly.

"Is she alright?"

"Um, I'm right here, you know." I said irritably.

"Sorry," The teen rubbed the back of his neck. "What's your name?"

I smiled. "Eva. What's yours?"

"She's cute, isn't she, chief?" the chimp whispered.

The teen turned as red as an apple and glared at the chimp. Wow. A talking monkey. This is getting weirder by the second.

"Please ignore him. My name's Rex."

I swung my legs over the edge of the table. I turned to the man in green. "Thanks for saving me. By the way, what's your name?"

"Call me Agent Six."

I turned to the lady. She responded without me even asking her. "I'm Doctor Holiday."

Then reality hit me. "My mom is gonna have a panic attack if I don't come home!" I mumbled.

"We already notified her." Agent Six said stoicly. How did they find out my home phone number?

"Still, I don't want to worry her." I jumped off the table I was laying on, completely forgeting about my broken leg. I stumbled forward and landed in Rex's arms. the chimp snickered.

"Shut up Bobo."

"What ever you say, chief."

Doctor Holiday cleared her throat. "Unfortunately, we don't have any extra rooms suitable for living. You'll have to share Rex's room."

"Things are gonna get interesting around here." Bobo laughed.

My face got really hot when I realized what he meant.

Holiday handed me a pair of crutches. I gratefully took them and stood up with them.

"Rex, show her the way." With that Agent Six left the room.

Rex rolled his eyes. "Follow me."

I turned around before following Rex. "Thanks for helping me, Doc."

"No problem."

Every door we passed by looked exactly the same except for their numbers. I tried my hardest to memorize where I'm going. I have a feeling that I'm gonna be here awhile. Rex stopped at a door and stepped inside. I went in behind him and Bobo followed me in. The walls were the same hard white walls as the rest of the place. There was an enormous flat screen TV and a stack of video games in front of it. On the other side of the room were two bunk beds. I looked at Bobo. I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.

"Here we are. Home sweet home." Rex smiled.

"Hey, what video games do you have?"

"Mostly racing games."

"I'm up for some speed." He looked at me. "What?"

"You don't look like much of a gamer."

"Any violent games?" That earned me another look.

"You don't look very violent, either."

"You're talking to the same girl who has a bullet bracelet and dreamed she was a sniper in the military."

"..."

"My kind of girl." Bobo smiled at me. I ignored that.

"So, do you plan on standing there all day?" I sat down on the bottom bunk and raised an eyebrow at him.

He rubbed the back of his neck and walked over to the PS3 and put a random racing game in.

I never even played this game and I still kicked his butt at it! I wonder how long he had that.

"Ha-Have you played this game before?" Rex asked with a confused and angry kitten kind of look.

"Nope."

"Then how did you-?"

"Ha ha! Ya got beat by a girl!" Bobo laughed.

"Shut up Bobo."

I shivered. "Why is it so cold in here?"

"A/C's on full blast. It's always like this around here."

"And here come the cuddles!" Bobo.

"You don't ever stop talking, do you?" I looked at him.

"Yeah I do but I like messin' wit yer boyfriend." Rex turned really red after that comment.

"Dude, I just met him." I looked at him.

"Ask him how he feels about you, then." Bobo snickered.

I looked at Rex and said, "You don't have to answer that. In fact, I prefer you didn't."

"Thanks for saving me." then he whispered, "He would've never left me alone if I said anything!"

"Some companion. Why didn't you pick a cat or something? They're alot quieter."

"...That's a really good question."

My sore eyes decided to remind me just how long I stayed up. I rubbed them.

"Sleepy already? Aw, the fun's just getting started!" Bobo complained.

"Shut up, Bobo. You can sleep on my bed." Rex told me.

"Nah, I sleep better on the floor."

"Are you sure?"

"Talking to the same person never really slept in her own bed." I seriously sleep better on the floor than in my own bed.
I ackwardly sat down on the floor. That cast is really starting to bother me.

"Hey, what time is it?" I looked around for a wall clock. How come he doesn't have one in here?

"Uhhh," He glanced at his watch. "10:17 pm."

"Yeah, I thought so. My eyes were starting to remind me of everything that happened today. Night." I laid down on my side, perfectly content with my spot on the floor.

*The Next Morning*

I woke up a little fuzzy. Wait...this isn't home? Oh yeah, that's right. I got attacked by a carnivirous deer EVO and I landed in Providence. My back feels kinda warm. I looked behind myself without getting up. Rex, a little bit too close for comfort, was lightly snoring beside me...in his bed!
I snapped my head around. Good, Bobo was still asleep. As quietly as I could, I got out of his bunk bed and stretched. I dug into my pocket...Yes! My Ipod survived the attack! Wait, how it survive that? I sat on the corner of Rex's bed, listening to Hands Held High by Linkin Park. That song never fails to make me better about my life.
Rex groaned and groggily sat up.

"Morning." He said in a half awake tone.

"And the lovebirds are up! Did you have a wonderful night?" Bobo sneered from his bunk bed.

"Shut up Bobo." We both said in unison.

"Sheesh. Touchy."

The dooor slid open. "Come on, kids. Holiday made breakfast." As soon as he came, Six left.

"Is he always like that?" I looked at Rex.

"Yeah, pretty much."

At breakfast, their were pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and other stuff, too. But I was focused on the pancakes.

"You don't like bacon?" Bobo asked, seeing that I completely skipped over that.

"Never have, never will." I really don't like bacon.

"*Gasp* You don't like bacon? Wow you're weird." Rex said.

I swallowed my pancakes. "Thanks for breakfast!"

"You eat a bit too fast for your health. You might want to slow down." Holiday said with a concerned look on her face.

"No worries. I'm used to being rushed at home and at school." At my old school we only had around 10 minutes to eat lunch. Now I have like an hour to eat and I'm still trying to get used to it.

"I want to talk to you after breakfast," Holiday told me. All eyes (and a pair of sunglasses) turned to me.

"Please don't do that. I don't like being looked at."

"Ya say that like you're hidin' somethin'."

Carefully ignoring Bobo, I swayed a bit on my crutches and listened to some random song on my ipod. As I listened, I wondered about home. My cat is probably depressed by now. My cat hurt his paw when I went to Huntsville, Alabama to visit some family members.
Hopefully my mom really knows of my whereabouts and that I'm fine. I'm gonna try and visit her some time soon. I was snapped out of my train of thought when Holiday tapped my shoulder. She lead me into her room.

"So what did you need me for?"

"I figured you would need some better clothes until you could get your own back at home." She dug through her closet and handed me a black Slipknot shirt and A pair of blue jeans. I looked quizzically at Holiday.

"They were my niece's." I'm still wondering why she has them and not her niece.

I changed into them and walked outside, ramming straight into Rex and knocking him flat on his back.

"Sorry! Didn't see you there." I leaned my crutches against the wall and held out my hand to help him up. He took it and stood up.

"That's alright. I have had a whole lot worse. Trust me."

"Just a random question. What of your family?" I said, being nosy, as usual.

His entire aura changed as soon as I asked that. Did I say something wrong?

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked."

"No, you're fine. It's just that I don't know any of my family. It's like I don't have one."

"Don't say that. Everyone has a family. Family isn't decided by blood, you know."

"Speaking of family, I'd love to meet yours."

"Yeah, but how are we gonna get there?"

He smiled. "I'll show you. Just follow me."

"WHOOO HOOO!" I yelled, wind whipping through my hair, clinging to Rex's back as he flew. He's an EVO, but the coolest one ever!
"Do you do this everyday?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Rex shrugged. The scenery below became more and more familiar as we approached home.

When we saw my home, it was nothing but rubble.
