Hi guys :D Sorry it's been a while but here's chapter 4! Thanks for the reviews and for waiting for me to update my story it's a bit fast but I made sure not too I do not own portal or portal 2 in any shape way or form, i merely kidnapped the characters :D! With that said let the chapter began!
God, my everything hurts.
I've been walking for who knows how long and I'm still surrounded by this bloody plant! I looked back expecting to see the shack that hid the Aperture elevator but instead all I saw was the bloody plant that's been surrounding me for way too long! Suddenly I fall on the ground. I try to push myself up but I keep falling. I grimace at the pain in my arms and legs. I let myself fall and roll over onto my back. I look at the sky and I can see the moon and the stars blinking quite beautifully. It's seems so different from when I was up there. I close my eyes; did Chell ever look at the sky to look for me? I open them and faintly, very faintly I see an orange star. I smile a bit, is that space? I laugh lightly and close my eyes again. Suddenly I hear a rustle. I jump back up but I'm still a bit wobbly. Suddenly a bright light is on my face and I can't see.
"Hey, are you okay?" A lady with red long hair puts down the flash light and walks over to me. I blink a couple of times and then I realize she's talking to me.
"Uh-I guess." I mumble. I feel an arm wrap around my shoulder.
"Hold onto me I'll get you back to my house and give you some medicine for that wound on your arm, okay?" The Lady asks Looking up at me. I nod dumbly and let her guide me to a big red truck. She opens the door and lightly pushes me in before going and climbing onto the other seat. She started the truck up and began driving. Suddenly the idea hit me like a brick.
"Uh, Miss do you know her!?" I ask showing the Lady Chell's picture. Her eyes widen and she looks up at me.
"Yeah, in fact She's my neighbor, well only neighbor." The lady tilts her head.
"But how do you know her?" She asked. I fell a horrible feeling in my gut before I answer.
"We were friends, but there was this incident that happened countless months ago. I really hurt her and I hate myself for it. All I want to do is apologize to her." I feel an odd feeling in my eyes.
The lady looks at me shocked.
"Are you…..Wheatly?" She asked. I look at her with wide eyes.
"H-how did you know my name..?" I asked. She smiled warmly.
"Chell used to talk about you all the time! Well not talk but she would write on some paper and tell me about you. But lately….." She paused.
"Sometimes when I ask about you she gives me a confused look, other times she smiles. Sometimes, she gets angry and one time…she looked as if she was about to cry….It's like her memories are all over the place" I feel a sinking feeling in my gut. The lady turned to me.
"Get some shut eye and don't worry about it." She said with a warm smile. I nodded and somehow, peacefully went into sleep mode.
"Hey,Hey! We're here." I hear the lady's voice say. My eyes flutter open and I see we're in front of a very small house. I look over at her.
"Go on, I bet Chells diein' to see you." I smile.
"Thank you!" I say before dashing out of the car. I walk in front of the house and knock on it. When it opens I can't keep the smile off my face.
It's Chell! I can't stop myself from hugging her and I can't stop the words that come from my mouth.
"I'm sorry luv, I'm so sorry I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to become a monster," I feel water running down my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." I whisper stroking her hair. I stop and notice she's tense. I let her go and hold onto her shoulders.
"Do you remember me? I-It's me…Wheatly." I say searching her eyes for happiness, sadness, hate, anything. At first she smiles and nods lightly then she shakes her head. She backs away and holds her head as if it hurts.
"Are you okay?!" I ask dashing to her side; suddenly the lady's words fill my head.
"Sometimes when I ask about you she gives me a confused look, other times she smiles. Sometimes, she gets angry and one time…she looked as if she was about to cry….It's like her memories are all over the place"
Chell's memories are…..scrambled..
She pushes me lightly and shuts the door. She grabs my hand and drags me to a couch. She sits on it and makes me as well. She looks into my eyes as if searching for something herself. I breathe in deeply, its oddly calming.
"Okay, I'll tell you how I know you." I said taking in another breath.
"I woke you up from a deep sleep. We were planning on getting out of Aperture, the horrid place we were stuck in, when we turned her on by mistake. After a bit of testing we reunited." I smiled when I remembered seeing her after all that time alone.
"We switched her turrets with faulty ones and cut of her neurotoxin supply. When we got to her lair again we.." How could I tell her that I went crazy and tried to kill her! I just found her, I don't want to lose her again! Suddenly Chell yawned and her eyes fluttered closed. She leaned against me and snuggled onto my chest. I felt my cheeks burn and my eyes widen w-what was she doing? After a while I feel the rhythmical rise and fall of her chest. I smile, I can't remember seeing her so…peaceful. I wrap an arm around her and put my head on top of hers before going into sleep mode
