The End Of The World As We Know It
Chapter 1 : My End?
I don't remember the time when I ever saw the sun.
Or even felt it for a matter of fact.
These stone cold cells of hell, kept away love and hope for anyone. The only thing that keeps me somewhat sane is the pocket watch I found on the ground before I was taken to prison, it's been ticking away for the last 3 years of my life. Telling me what I have missed. My mother's birthday. My younger brothers smiles, meals that were my job to cook. I've missed everything. Darkness is my friend. The only person that I have seen is the others that have come and gone in the shadows for their death waits beyond that door, I have left this cell but only to be pumped full with Blue Eco.
My beautiful blonde hair is now stained dark blue -from what I can see in puddles- and reflects the darkness in the cell I live in. I've been raped. I've been shot at. I've been attacked. I've been torn apart. And for some reason, I'm still alive. Hevan City's Baron Praxis thought maybe he could make an amazing creature out of blue, red or yellow eco. So far I've failed, red eco has... somewhat becoming perect. Both of them escaped a couple weeks ago and the yellow eco person has died from straving, the grauds groan at the stink of her.
I choke on the stink too. The rats that hurry around my cell, outside and inside the walls have all died too. My guess is the stink, right now... it's too quiet. All I can hear is my breathing and my heart slowly beating in my chest, the cool air from the outside would sometimes blow in through the window or through the cracks but today... it wasn't happening. I listened quietly to hear anything esle, but no was has come. My lower lip was still cracked and bleeding from when I bit, but yet I still sucked on it.
Suddenly there's a loud bang, I hear loud shouting that I can't make out as I inch closer to the door. Through the key whole I see a graud walking towards my cell, he opened the door taking a good look at me. I could sense I smirk moving across his face under his helmet - and yes I want to smack it off- of red and yellow, the dim light from the outside made him look bigger and alot stronger then me. He bent down pulling me onto my feet, very gentle like. For a second I thought he was going to kick me down and start pulling at my hair or shoot me again; but he didn't.
He and the other graud walked me down the hallway towards anything, my first guess was that it was going to be a hack saw ready to chop off my legs so I couldn't do what the Yellow Eco girls did. But what I saw shocked me. A bed with a black dress on it, it was one of those corset dresses that rich, popular hooker wear. The man walked me into the room and sat me on the bed.
"Get dressed." He ordered before walking out, I looked around the room in awe. I haven't seen a real room in... forver! There were many little candles hoovering around glowing dimly. Maybe I was dreaming again? It was time to take a chance. I thought, put on the dress and sit there and wait. Maybe something good would come out of it. Not thinking about it again, I yanked on the dress and saw it only went to my knees. I never did like dresses but it was better then the glamours thing I was wearing before. The dress had tight selves so thus it covered my scars on my arms, then I noticed something werid. I walked slowly over to it. What was it? When I reached out and touched it, it was smooth and cold. I pressed my whole plam on it before knowing and remembering what it was.
It was a mirror. My hands fell to my side as I stared blankly at myself. It wasn't me, but it was. The last time I ever saw a mirror or ever saw myself was when I was 13, and now I was 16. Many years later, I've grown up. My blue eyes were darker, my hair was bluish black and I've grown more... womenly figures. But I was still my same height and weight, I was very pale and look ill. I turned when I heard the door open, another graud looked up and down at me smiled.
"Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in."
Ty. He was the one that was suppose to take care of me, yeah right. He cut me every night and let the rats drink the blood and attack me, he also the one who wouldn't feed me for at least a couple days at a time. I glared at him as he came forward towards me, he smirked. I always hated his shinning teeth and stunning green eyes, they always stared right through me before he killed me on the inside everyday. He held out my watch, I took it from him in less then a second. The chain around it was rusting and old, he rolled his eyes before walking out. I was very tempted to follow him and then kill him, when he wasn't looking; but would a lady ever do that to someone?
"Come." He ordered behind him, I nodded and followed him in bare feet down the cold hallway. Everyone was watching me as I inched closer to him, for those 3 years... he was the only person I talked too. The only person that ever noticed me, and when he came with food after a couple days; I thought he was the Precusors themsevles. The twisted hallways, and werid looking rooms of the this place was messing up my already messed up brain. My eyes darted back and forth at different sounds and screams, what was going on behind the walls of Hevan City? I stopped when he stopped at a huge red door, it had the Baron Symbol on it. I remember waking up to that every day, looking out my shared bedroom with my many brothers and seeing that. Ty pulled out a key and opened the door, it took me a second to follow after him but I did; and in a spilt second... I wish I was back in my cell again.
Someone jumped me from behind, they covered my eyes and pulled my hands. My heart almost stopped. I was an idiot for following Ty, remember he was the one who beat me. I didn't struggle as they pushed me forward, the darkness was back in my eyes. Then the blindfold was pulled, and I was pushed to the ground. I rumbed my eyes before standing, and there before me was Baron Praxis.
He had gotten bigger since the last time I saw him, and when I big, I mean taller. Towering over me like I was a scared mouse facing off cat, I swallowed. Hard. He leaned forward metal hand touching my hair before going to my arm then falling to his side again, he crossed his arms taking the whole site of me in. Then his eyes fell to my feet as if he was ashamed to look at me, I wanted to back up and runaway screaming "get away!!!". But I was frozen to the ground, he chuckled bending down to look me in the eyes.
"Hello, young lady. Where are your shoes?" Good question. I look down and see that I was bare foot, I left the room with out putting on anything for my feet. I guess he was offend by them. Cut, old blood crusting along the egdes... yeah my feet were crap. From all the many cold nights, beating, and anything esle they looked like they went through a meat grinder sixteen times!
"I don't know." I said in a small voice, Baron Praxis laughed in a loud booming voice before standing up.
"Well then, I guess we have to get you some. Ty," I've never seen Ty look so pale, he jumped from his seat as Baron Praxis pointed to me. "get this young lady some shoes!" He nodded and hurried off, I sighed somewhat as the Baron walked to the chair Ty was sitting in. He sat down taking a whole look at me, what he was seeing I would never know. He crossed his arms as Ty came back with shoes for me, he dropped to the floor infront of me with fish net stockings.
"Put them on." He growled holding a bunch of papers, I sat on the ground rolling up the fishnets as Baron Praxis flipped through the papers. Ty pointed to things as they nodded to each other, when I was finsh with the last shoe Baron Praxis pushed a button and whispered something in to it. Either it wa someone coming to finally finsh me off or it was another person with a blindfold.
"Lets see how good your memory is." Baron Praxis said looking to me then Ty, what was he planning?
"Okay."
"What's your name?" It had been a long time since I heard my name, no one said it to me or called me by it; but it was still fresh in my mind.
"Cynder." Baron Praxis nodded.
"Okay, Cynder. How old are you?"
"16."
Baron Praxis nodded standing. "Well she seems fine," Ty nodded along with him leaning back in his chair.
"But what can we use her for? We can't send a girl out to battle Metal Heads, can we?"
"No we can't." Baron Praxis looked up and down at me again. "But from what her data says, she's powerful. As in fast, very fast." He picked up a ball, he tossed it up and down in his hands as if he was planning on what to do with it. Before I knew it it was being whipped at me, I grabbed the ball with one hand not even thinking about it. I lowered my hand looking at the ball that was now resting in my hands, Ty stood amazed.
"Whoa. Did she just?"
Baron Praxis nodded. "Yup. She's fast, from the Blue Eco. I think it's time we told her." I turned when the door was opened behind me, I wasn't going to take any chances. My blue hair scared the crap out of me as it brushed across my legs, but I still stayed focused. A red haired man with amber eyes stomped in, he had an evil smirk on his face as if he was hitting someone with his fist. I could easily tell who he was, by his red and yellow commander uniform. His wandering eyes and no helmet, it was Erol. Commander of the Krizmon Graud.
"Yes Baron Praxis?" Erol growled, Baron Praxis walked forward putting to hands on my shoulders.
"Erol. Say hello to your new Lt, please."
"What?!" Erol shouted making me turn my head, I never did like shouting.
"Yes. Lt. Cynder, she's the lastest of my," the Baron chuckled, a chuckled that scared me. " experiments. Meet the Blue Eco Experiment, all the others, either died or ranaway. But our little Cynder here stayed for her city," He took the ball from me and tossed it to Erol. "Try her out."
Erol gripped the ball hard, and tossed it in the air. "So if I throw it, she has to catch it?" The Baron nodded, an evil smirk moved across Erol's face as he clenched the ball hard and threw it away from me. Before I knew what I did, my feet were moving and I had the ball in my hand on the other side of the room. Erol's mouth fell open staring at me, I glared back at him; before whipping it at him. The ball went past his face to the window, breaking it and the two on each side of it. Ty and Baron Praxis laughed as Erol glared to me.
"Nice, Cynder." Ty laughed placing his hand on my shoulder. "So what do you say Erol? Do you want her for your squad or I can have her." Erol narrowed his eyes on me before nodding.
"Fine the brat can come and stay with me and my men, but-"
"But what?" Baron growled stepping towards him, Erol stepped back from him as he shook his head.
"Nothing. Come with me," He narrowed his eyes on me, as if he was saying through his eyes 'i don't like you already,'. "Cynder." I nodded before taking one look to Ty, and following him out.
Minutes later I was walking up a stair case behind Erol, he hadn't said anything to me after we left the prison state; and would never talk to me again. We stopped at a door when a heard a loud bang on the other end, what it was; I don't want to know. Erol opened the door to a group of males laughing on a couch, they all stood when they saw Erol come in. He stopped motioning for me to come in, I didn't look up as they all made cat calls and whistled at me.
"Who's this cutie, Erol?" One asked, with tattoos all over his face.
"You know that dating a younger girl is wrong?" Another with what seemed like a mouth full of teeth, shouted from the back. There was about 6 guys in this group, not inculding Erol. With me it came to 9 a good number, but I did have 4 brothers back in the day. Erol rolled his eyes putting his hand on my head.
"This is Cynder, an Blue Eco Experiment, that turned out somewhat okay." I glared up to him as he sighed rumbing his temple. "She's going to be the new Lt., I know I promised it to one of you but... she came right from Baron Praxis." There was a loud up roar of shouting and swearing as I backed up, what has the Baron gotten me into? Erol shot up a bulet, I covered my head as he pocketed his gun again. "She's the new Lt. and get used to it! She'll be joining us on missions and other things, anyone have questions?" No one said anything as Erol escorted me down the hallway to the one bedroom that wasn't messy and filled with, guy things.
"Thank you." I said softly.
"Whatever, Cynder. Just stay in here until you are called on," He slammed the door shut as I looked around my living status. It was very simple, one window, one bed, one dresser, one mirror and one bathroom. I sat down on the bed and looked around me, the walls were a cool blue and had some chips in it. I bit the inside of my cheek before unlacing my boots and laying down on the bed, how I have wanted to sleep in a normal bed with soft pillows and a cotton cover. I dug under the sheets and slowly difted into sleep, how long I fell asleep I would never know but I knew I was sound asleep.
When I re-woke, my hair was in knots and I was sweating alot. I sat up slowly my hair was falling infront of my face as I saw Erol sitting in the chair by the window, he was sound asleep as a scary feeling crept up my body; why was he here?
"Erol." I hissed, before he was jolted awake. He looked at me werid before he gazed out the window, he sighed standing.
"You were screaming in your sleep," He said not looking at me, I blushed. I forgot about the nightmares, I didn't really sleep sometimes and never really did back in the prison. "So I came and sat here until you stopped, but-"
"You fell asleep?" I asked crossing my legs over each other, he nodded still not looking at me. There was silence before he stood walking to the door.
"Go back to sleep Cynder," He finally looked back to me. "No more screaming." I nodded before laying back down, it only took me seconds before I was out again. Everything the Baron had said to me was repeating over and over in my head again, Blue Eco Experiment. So that's why the four of us were taken from our homes, so we could be used like this. But he also said that I was a failure too, what did that mean? The ture failure was the one that died, the other two that ranaway were the ture experiments too.
I shook my head. No more thinking about this, sleep was the best thing for anyone... and that's what I want to do now.
