A/N: I just noticed the 2nd chapter had the old name of the story, forgive
me. This story's title IS 'I was the Lucky One' and not 'Knocking on my
enemy's door'. When this is done I will most probably put a long version in
the ending. And this ain't done yet, not for a while.
Chapter #4 - Life
I look up the large building, hoping to see a window open. On the third floor I can see that some one left a window open, even thought it's raining. A few stones stick out in the walls, and I can see a pattern to climb up with.
There's no such thing as luck, but I do feel lucky. I move leg up to the first stone, feeling my hands tremble a little more. I'm going to have to hurry it up.
Second leg up to the second stone, Now for the third.
A minute later I'm nearby the window. I take a peek inside, and see a young girl sleeping in a bed. Little kids are a pain, since they wake up rather easily. Thought this one did sleep through the storm, I'm not going to take any chances.
I open the window a bit more, so I can slip in. It creeks lightly, and I wait a few seconds. No sounds come from the girl. I sigh in relief, and move my left leg through the small space. The rest of my body follows.
With a soft thump my feet land on the floor. I check on the young girl only to find her sucking her thump peacefully. For a few seconds I look at her, seeing what I never could be when I was young.
But, no time to cry over it, time to grab some meds, and leave. Preferred without a huge mess. I slowly move out of the room, and take a peek into the hallways. It's quite late, and most of the nurses that have night duty are with patients.
Walking through the hallway, I can't help to notice that this hospital holds the same, cold feeling of Manticore. As if you always have to take what they give you, or die when you don't.
I shiver, and look at the doors I pass by, hoping to find the storage room as quick as possible. My legs are trembling too now, and if I don't find some Tryptophan quick I'm as good as dead.
Finally, a sign. The glass door has a lock, but with a twist of a small knife it's open. As I open it, I can smell all the pills. Funny... there's even a hint of Ecstacy. Guess hospitals are used for drug storing too.
Creeping in, I observe all the boxes. Many are labeled with all different sorts of pain killers. I don't have time to read, as my body starts shaking even more.
With slow, shaky steps I move along the line of boxes. Finally, at the end, I see a medium sized one labelled 'Tryptophan'. I use my knife to cut the tape and open the box. I check the contents, and grab one of the small bottles. Opening the lit, I check for sounds. None come from the hallway.
I pour some pills into my hands, and examinate them. Luckily, this is Tryptophan, and I'm not waiting another second to take some. I pop them into my mouth, before I collapse onto the floor. I sure hope no one needs any medicine...

"What is your designation?" The voice seems so far away... But I can hear it. And I wish I couldn't.
"X6-980, sir!" I yell out. Pain... Unbelievable pain.
The back of my neck is burning. They're probably taking another piece of skin for examination...
~*~
I hear sounds coming from the hallway, and I manage to stand up. These kinds of flashbacks still hurt me deep inside, and it's as if the past is the present when I have them. I'll be there, and I also am not.
I move to the window, hoping I can land in the same graceful manner as I did after I jumped out of a second floor one.
The sounds are becoming louder, and I can clearly hear the conversation between two nurses.
"Those disgusting freaks.." There's onein your storage room right now.
"Yeah, it was all over the news." Yeah, I kinda noticed.
Why am I listening? Jump... Jump!
The door is opened, and I jump in time. I land on the floor in pain, but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I take off as fast as I can, hoping neither of them saw a girl jump out off the window...
