You don't know what you've got in this cage
*sigh* long night at the hospital and glad to be home. I opened the door and looked around our apartment. "I'm home!" Ben had left some time ago for work which happened far too many times. Oh well I'll see him tonight. I tossed my over sized yellow purse on the couch and took off my shoes leaving them at the door. Marty our dog came into the new green living room to say welcome home. "Good morning Marty! And how was your evening! Did Ben finish that computer?" I looked at Ben's work table to see it still covered with two or three computers all taken apart just for the fun of it. "I guess not." Maybe I should help him out? Nah that's how he relaxes after work I'd get ticked if he…I don't know…lost my place in a book or something. I'll just wash the dishes and go to bed. I walked into the kitchen which also had a computer in it but this one was still put together. It started playing eyes by rouge wave. I started to singing along with the computer as I did the dishes and I didn't know it but there were two people at the door listening to me sing a boy and a girl. It had been a long time since they'd just listen to music, and it was one of his favorites and I wasn't a bad singer if I don't say so myself.
He could hear the dishes clanking in the sink and water pouring out of a faucet. He marveled at how someone who could have unlimited power could be so normal, Almost boring. He wished he could go back to being boring, But at this point in time that was impossible. Hell he might never be able to go back to a normal life! He would just have to wait and see.
She couldn't stand it! They shouldn't do this! They would be here any moment now and every second that they wasted listening to music dragged on forever driving her insane!
She couldn't take it anymore! She leaned forward and knocked the door setting off the dog barking like mad.
"Why did you do that!?" he said in an angry whisper.
"We don't have time! They'll be here soon!" she hissed back.
I stopped what I was doing. Wonder who that could be? Everyone should be in work now anyway! Only one way to find out!
The music turned off and the dog calmed down. The sound of her voice got louder as she walked to the door. "Who could that be Marty? Let's find out!"
"Can I help you?" the man on the other side of the door was about my age and didn't look to good. His black trench coat and jeans needed to be washed, his black hair was messy and he had dark circles under his eyes, plus he was very pale and looked like he could use a nice hot meal. The girl he was with was younger, had her short blond hair spiked out, and had bags under her eyes. She was wearing a red t-shirt and white jeans. Both could be washed. She also couldn't stay still shifting her weight from foot to foot. I thought about how I must look and realized I didn't look much better. My short red curls hadn't been washed yet today and I probably still had bags under my eyes from my first week at the hospital. Plus I was still in my dirty scrubs.
"Hello is Miss Amanda Anderson in." he didn't want to scare her by knowing who she was right away.
"That would be me." I was very skeptical. He was different. So was she. What are they doing here?
"My name is Peter Bennet" When Peter said Bennet the blonde's eyes got wide and flicked towards him for a fraction of a second. "And this is!"
"Daphne, Daphne Parkman! May we come in?" now it was Peter's turn to be shocked, but unlike Daphne he didn't turn his head. Only his eyes gave him away.
"Um… sure!" I stepped aside to let Peter and Daphne in. Lisa could handle both of them if it turned out they wanted something they weren't going to get.
