Note: This is my first fanfic. First off, English and writing is not my strong suit. I may have overused some words since my vocabulary is insanely tiny. Truthfully, I can't write even if my life depended on it. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

DO NOT EAT ME ALIVE WITH YOUR WORDS ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I do not own AVP or any official stuff related to it. This weird story was created from my overactive imagination.

[The Girl Who Wept]

A girl opened her eyes as she suddenly jolted awake from her sleep. She had nightmares again and she was sweating with fear, her breathing ragged. Bloody images and screams from her dream rushed through her brain like an echo. While trying to calm herself, she sat up and gazed around her room. She had just turned 11, but her room was no child's room. It was white and bare, empty except for her bed, a small closet, dresser table, window and a locked door. She looked towards her window. Moonlight had slipped between the drapes and glared at her pale face. From under her pillow she pulled out a small mirror and walked barefoot toward the window. Shivers ran up her legs whenever her feet touched the cold floor.

She pulled aside the drapes and stared into the mirror. A beautiful girl with dark hair and icy light blue eyes stared back at her. She turned towards the cup on the dresser table and closed her eyes. Through her thoughts and fair amount of concentration, the cup began to levitate 2 ft. into the air which stayed still for a couple minutes before falling back on the table. She glanced back into her mirror which revealed her change: her irises, no longer icy blue, but piercing light purple.

"I'm a freak." she whispered. Her gaze moved to the band on her left wrist. Just glancing at the letters in bold: Weyland-Yutanti Research and Experimental Facility, Subject 01 - Eva, made her boil with the sudden impulse to rip the wristband off and stomp on it. Controlling herself, she breathed slowly and closed her eyes as she recounted the events that put her in this facility a year ago...

Eva stood in the middle of the yard of her school: Weyland Academy of the Gifted and Talented. She held firmly to her small backpack while she was being surrounded by a group of children. They were jeering at her. A girl approached and pushed her. It was Sarah, Eva's nemesis and bully.

"Freak," said Sarah, "I saw what you did, your eyes aren't normal, you're not one of us, not human."

"Yeah, that wasn't normal, no one could do that. You're a freak," snarled a blond haired boy as he too pushed the girl. The force of the push made her slip and fall on her back. Her eyes stung with tears which began to roll down her cheeks.

"Eva!" shouted a boy as he fought his way through the crowd. He ran to the crying girl, then turned to face the crowd and suddenly flung out his arms as though to protect her with his body. His movements caused his mop of chestnut colored hair to fall over his green eyes.

"Why are you helping the freak Stephan? You saw what she did, she's not normal," fumed Sarah.

"Who cares if she's normal or not, she's not a bully like you," replied Stephan coolly. He glared at the blond haired boy, "And you, David, are no better than an asshole."

David narrowed his icy blue eyes at Stephan. Sarah's cheeks flushed red. She had a crush on Stephan, but he had no interest in her despite her attempts in gaining his attention. She was popular, a leader among her peers, pretty, and smart. How come none of these seemed appealing to Stephan? He was always with Eva and this enraged Sarah.

"Hey! What's going on over there?" shouted a teacher as she rushed across the school yard to intervene whatever was going on. "Break it up now before you all get a referral."

"Tattle on us did you Stephan? Rat," snorted David. He looked at Eva, "Your little body guard won't always be there to protect you freak." Beside him, Sarah's eyes burned with hatred that indicated this wasn't over. They weren't stupid enough to do things in front of the adults. As the crowd of children began to dissolve, Stephan turned around and held out his hand to help Eva up.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Stephan sounded concerned as he pulled Eva to her feet. "I take my eyes off you for a few minutes and look what happened." He was taller than her. "I'm sorry, I won't let it happen again. I'll always be there to protect you, I promise." The intensity of his gaze made her blush slightly. He reached out his hand and patted the girl on the head. She smiled and wiped her tears. Stephan smiled back, showing dimples on each cheek, his green eyes were glittering.

"Come along, school's out in 5 minutes, but looking at the situation I'll let the two of you leave earlier." said the teacher as she turned to walk toward the school building. Eva and Stephan followed.

A large black vehicle was parked in the distance outside the school yard fence. -Weyland Industries "Building a better future"- were printed on the sides. Though no one had noticed, two men had been observing the scene.

"Gifted and talented? You seem so certain that they have much to offer," said the taller man doubtfully, "Maybe we forget that they are all still merely...children." He wore black shades and a trench coat.

The other man, slightly shorter, wore a lab coat. There were two large scars across his face. He closed the file he was reading, the words "Project Genesis" was stamped on the front. "No, not children" he said quietly, "They are the future, pieces we need in order to shape the future...of humanity."

The two children were walking side by side down the road a long distance away from the school. Eva could feel the warmth of the sun shining down on her face. She looked at the clear sky then at the pyramid of leaves nearby. She was pondering about what happened in class. An image of a boy being knocked around in midair was stuck on her mind.

"I didn't mean to hurt our classmate," said Eva softly. She turned her head to look at Stephan. "I just couldn't control it."

"It's ok...It's not every day you get to see someone knocked out cold in midair. Besides, it was Billy's fault for bothering you in the first place." laughed Stephan, "I think it was cool and so were your eyes. Not everyone has that ability. It's better than doing boring old math and biochem all day." That was Stephan's special talent, he could solve problems meant for professional scientist and yet, come up with solutions without any effort.

"They weren't supposed to find out about this. Now I'm a freak."

Stephan stopped walking and looked at the girl straight in the eyes, "Hey...no matter what they say, it's not true. You can do something they would never be able to do in their lifetime. They know it and they're jealous. If they try anything funny again, I'll break their skulls." Eva stared at Stephan and a smile spread across her face. They had known each other for as long as she could remember. He was always there to help her when she needed him.

"You know I-," Whatever Stephan had to say was cut off. There was a loud whack. He fell to the ground and cried out in pain as he clutched his head. A hand suddenly grabbed his front collar.

It was David. He was holding a baseball bat in the other hand and a sick smile twisted on his face. Stephan was still too stunned by surprise and pain to react. David glanced at Eva, enjoying her horror stricken face. He then dropped the baseball bat and glowered at Stephan.

"Dumbass. You let your guard down," mocked David. Stephan glanced frantically at the shocked girl.

"Run!" he yelled. David raised his free hand and punched Stephan hard, knocking him out cold. The girl froze, her legs refused to move.

"I told you to leave Stephan out of this!" snapped Sarah as she hurried over. A group of eight children was tailing behind her. She was holding a large container. Dark objects were moving around inside it.

Eva could've ran, but she couldn't leave Stephan at the mercy of David. He was dangerous and listened to no one. Sarah, now aware of the fact that Stephan was out of the way, began to smirk evilly as she glanced at the now timid frightened girl. "I've got a special surprise for you."

Panic began to sweep over Eva as the children began to close in around her...

Everything had happened so fast. One second she was standing there too scared to move; next second she was carried and dumped into an empty nearby dumpster. Sarah stood at the opening and emptied the contents of the container over Eva's head. To her horror, it was tarantulas. Sarah had stolen and smuggled them out from the zoology classroom. Eva had the irrational fear of arachnids and Sarah was now using this to her advantage. The lid of the dumpster slammed shut, leaving the frightened girl to the darkness and the horrid hairy creatures...

With all her might she pounded desperately at the lid with her tiny fist. It wouldn't budge; something was placed over it to lock it in place. "Please...Let me out!" Eva cried through choked tears, "Please!" She was helpless now, more than she had ever felt in her life. Skittering legs were now running up her leg and around her face. She screamed. The hairy eight-legged arachnids were now running up and down her back. Shrilling laughter came from the children outside.

Anger began to simmer within Eva. They would pay for this. Dearly. Those brats were about to find out just how vicious and vengeful she can be. Seething with the newfound rage, she ignored the hairy legs that were crawling all over her and began to focus her thoughts to the pile of leaves she saw earlier. Not too far away, the mound began to rapidly shift and drift towards the laughing children. The swiftly approaching leaves quickly spread apart around the youngsters. It was as if time itself had stopped as they stayed still in air. The ten children ceased their laughter and stared in astonishment at the frozen objects. Suddenly, with insane speed, the leaves attacked them like a hurricane.

One of the bladelike things had deeply slit the neck of a boy. He screamed and put his hands around his throat. Blood was spilling between his fingers and dripped down his front shirt. His shrieks became gurgled as blood gushed rapidly from the lethal wound. A whip of leaves had suddenly severed the back of his neck. Dropping to the ground, his body began to convulse and within a minute, stopped. Wide eyed with terror at the lifeless body, Sarah screamed and crouched to the ground, covering herself with her arms as the flying objects slashed at her flesh.

Inside the dumpster, Eva covered her ears to block out the piercing painful shrieks of the dying children as they were being shredded by the blur of deadly leaves. This wouldn't be happening if they left her alone she thought angrily. Why won't they leave her alone? This has gotten out of hand; she had long lost control and could no longer stop the objects from attacking her classmates. All she could do was wait...

After what seemed like forever, there was finally silence. The lid flew open and Eva climbed out shakily. To her shock, she was now gaping at the bloody corpses that were once her classmates. Stephan had just regained conscious and immediately jumped to his feet. He looked around for the girl and began to run to her. He stopped dead as he saw the pool of blood and gruesome body parts. Within the mess, two bloody figures twitched slightly.

It was David and Sarah. They had miraculously survived the attack. David was on his knees, his body suffered multiple gashes. As he grabbed the left side of his face, he howled in agony. His ear was missing. Sarah was curled on the ground and shivering. She too had suffered severe cuts and painful whimpers escaped from her bloodied lips. Eva noticed the surprise and fear in Stephan's eyes as he looked at her. Pain and regret twisted in her chest. What had she done? She was now not only a murderer but had also caused the one friend she ever had to look at her as though she were a...

"Monster," said Sarah in a quivering voice. Her teary eyes were full of terror as she peered at the dark haired girl.

Monster. The word pierced Eva's heart. She was so consumed by her own remorse that she didn't notice armed soldiers poured from the back of a large black vehicle. Their uniforms had a giant "W" on them. One soldier had snuck behind the shocked girl and plunged a needle into her neck. She felt something had been injected into her.

"Eva!" screamed Stephan as he attacked the soldier. A boy of ten was no match for a grown man. The soldier pushed Stephan and he fell to the ground with a hard thud. Eva was now being carried to a stretcher.

"You could've prevented this!" The man in shades sounded irritable and worried as he spotted the bloody corpses.

"If I had, then I would not be able to see what she was capable of." said the man in the lab coat.

As the girl slowly fell into the darkness, the last thing she heard was Stephan's screams...

Eva awoke groggily with a head splitting headache. With blurry vision, she tried to focus on the figure sitting next to her hospital bed. An attractive woman with chestnut colored hair tied in a neat bun gave her a kind smile. Eva immediately recognized her. Grace, Stephan's mother! But...why isn't he here with her?

"I'm glad you're awake," said Grace in a gentle voice. Eva was now looking in bewilderment around the room. Questions were buzzing in her mind. Where was she?

"It's alright, you are safe here." reassured Grace. Just when Eva opened her mouth to ask about Stephan, the door of the room suddenly opened and two men in lab coats walked in.

"Ah, awake now, perfect timing too...I see you're familiar with Dr. Grace Walker." said one man as he gave her a smile. "I am Dr. Isaac Anton, and this," pointing at the other man, "is Dr. Elijah Harrison."

Elijah had dark skin and seemed to be in his mid-twenties. He had spikey black hair and nerdy glasses. He gave the weary girl a cheerful grin.

The first thing Eva noticed about Isaac was the two ugly scars across his face. He looked to be around in his early thirties. He had brown hair that was pulled back and a stubbly beard. Something about him made her skin crawl.

"I know you must be wondering why you are here," said Isaac as she stared at him. "You have been brought to this research facility for a reason." He saw the worry that began to spread on her face.

"No, not because of the..accident with the children, but because you have a rare gift, telekinesis. You see, the Weyland Corporation's bio-medical division has also noticed an...abnormality in your DNA. Something unique. You have been chosen to partake in our research."

Research? A lump formed in Eva's throat. What were they going to do to her?

"Let's put this simply," continued Isaac, "If you agree to willingly cooperate with our research, we can help find a cure for your mother."

Upon hearing this, Eva gulped and began to fidget. Clearly, Isaac had hit the right nerve; he had gotten the reaction he had wanted.

Clair, Eva's mother, was dying from an unknown illness. It had all started to affect her after she had given birth to her daughter. No ordinary doctor or medical research team in the world could find out what was wrong. Perhaps this "trade" would change that, Weyland Corp. was apparently known to provide the best medical service possible.

The pondering girl clenched her fist; this man was using her mother's condition as leverage to get her to comply. Anger began to rise in her once more. The door slammed shut with such an incredible force that there was now a crack on the frame. Immediately, her head throbbed with sharp pain. Touching her temples, she felt something solid and circular.

Isaac sighed. "To prevent you from doing anything dangerous, you've been implanted with special metal rods to prevent alpha and beta waves from going...bizarre. They will not be removed until you learn to control your telekinesis."

Instead of answering his proposal, Eva only gave Isaac a cold stare.

"We should let her rest," suggested Grace as she gave Isaac a death glare. "This can wait."

Elijah nodded. "After what she's been through, she definitely needs it." His co-worker can get quite terrifying with her glares.

"Alright...whatever you say," said Isaac reluctantly as he put his hands in his lab coat pocket. He seemed slightly disappointed that he wasn't able to get an answer. The three adults left the room, leaving Eva deep in thought...

It seemed she didn't have much of a choice. As long as they kept their end of the bargain, she agreed. And that was when her life turned upside down. Since then, she had been continuously poked and prodded and scanned. As the days began to blur, she took part in numerous experiments and had been injected with countless strange elixirs. Grace and Elijah were the only scientist who treated her like a human being. To everyone else, she was considered nothing more than a lab rat. Isaac referred to her as "the rare specimen", much to her annoyance.

Loneliness was what she felt whenever she was returned to her room. Day after day it grew into overwhelming despair. With the help of his mother, Stephan was allowed to visit Eva whenever he could.

Despite what she had done, he wasn't afraid of her. She was his best friend and intended to stay with her no matter what. Even so, he took pity on her. She was now an experimental test subject, no longer free in the world of humans...

And humans...she thought bitterly to herself, are so...damn...cruel...

Eva slowly opened her eyes and pressed her hand against the window. Twin streams of tears poured down her face as she looked up at the full moon and twinkling stars. She wished deeply in her heart for something to happen. Anything, so she could be free...

Letting out a tired sigh, she climbed back to her bed and curled under the covers. As she drifted off to the land of dreams once more, little did she know what fate had in store for her...it would change the course of her life...forever...

To be continued...
