Chapter 2: Lost Hope
After what seemed like hours, we finally arrived at where they wanted to take me. It was a huge building, that appeared to look like it was a castle from a movie. The walls were all covered in stone, and it had a flag on top of the building. The man forced me out of the car and walked me up to the front door, where he proceeded to let his arm off of my shoulder, and pulled out a sliver card.
"Listen. If you see anyone take this card, you let me know. This card is a membership card. Without it, I can't get in. You don't want to leave us outside after we ask you what we need of you, do you?" The man warned to me with a grin.
He then held the card up to the red laser on the door, after reading the bar code, the words "WELCOME, SOAR" flashed on the small screen, causing the door to open.
"His name was Soar? What is with the weird name?" I thought to myself as Soar put his arm on my shoulder again, turning right to the basement of the facility. After walking down the steps, we were in front of a lone door.
"Don't worry. This will be quick." Soar said while opening the door. He then proceeded to guide me to the desk in the middle of the almost empty room.
"Now... Answer these questions and you can go free. First of all, what is your favorite series?" Soar asked with a strange grin on his face.
I was confused on why he asked me that. Why would he remove me from my home, almost kill my grandmother and threatened me just to ask me that? Regardless, I answered.
"Pokemon... It won't make sense to you." I said with a tone of worry in my voice.
I didn't want to die, not like this, so I decided to do as he said. And as I said that, he looked at me with excitement.
"Come. I got all I need from you. Just one more thing..." Soar requested. He proceeded to lead me out of the room and up the stairs again to the main room, and then to the elevator.
I still didn't get why he was doing this so strangely. So when we got on the elevator and he began to hit the buttons needed to get us to the top floor, I had to say something.
"Soar, can you tell me why we are going upstairs? You said after the question I could go." I asked.
"Oh, but this is the last question! Don't worry, just follow me and sit on the table." Soar said with his stone cold voice coming back.
The elevator opened, and instead of being in a main room like before, we were in some sort of lab, with a table in the middle. I didn't ask or do anything but jump onto the bed and waited for Soar to come. I wanted this nightmare to end.
Soar quickly ran to the far end of the room, and grabbed a needle from the wall, and then ran to the table and leaned over me.
"Don't worry now, this one last adjustment, and then you will be free." Soar said with his evil grin.
I then realized what he was going to do, in a panic I rolled off of the table, and ran to the elevator. Soar put his arm out in front of him, and then the elevator was sealed off. There was no escape. Soar laughed as I tried to get out.
"You fool! You think you will leave early? Not now! We need you!" He exclaimed in anger as he approached me.
"Now, give us that power." Soar said, returning to his calm nature. I turned around, and saw that he waved his right arm from his heart to me, as if he was going to slap me. Then all of a sudden, I was lifted up in the air as if it were some sort of magic show, and I was forced on the bed. I couldn't leave anymore. I was trapped.
Soar grabbed the needle, and leaned over me once more.
"Goodbye Joshua, hello slave!" He happily said as he trust the needle into my arm, knocking me out...
Author's note:
I was actually going to include the part where Joshua gets taken in this chapter, but I put it in the prologue instead. So this chapter kinda ended up shorter than the prologue. Sorry about that. Though for the next chapter it will be longer than the prologue as that will be the first "Full" Chapter.
I have been working a little bit more on the grammar and wording since the prologue, but I am having a few minor issues still... If you have any sort of advice of an example of better dialogue, please include it in a review!
