Chapter 6 - Subject 16?
The next day I was ready to try and find out what was happening. But first what was wrong with Ezio. I was weirdly not tired so that put me in a OK mood. Desmond was sleeping in his room so I was guessing he would be going for his Animus session later. I waddled down the hard stairs to find Shaun and Rebecca in the living room. "Yeah?" Rebecca said to me, smiling. I shook my head. "When's my Animus session?" I asked raising my eyebrows. "They've been cancelled for today" Shaun said, not looking at me. My mouth dropped open in disappointment. That's not fair! "What! Why!" I snapped. Shaun sighed. "Just because." he said. I sneered at him. "That's not enough! Tell me what's going ON!" I shouted. Rebecca looked at me nervously. Shaun didn't even turn around to see me. I was so aggravated. "Is it 'cause I'm 12? Not old enough? Well I can tell you something, that I feel WAY older than I actually am!" I exclaimed. Rebecca started looking around the room and opened her mouth to say something but she was interrupted by Desmond's piercing screams.
I rushed upstairs without a word and found Desmond asleep having one of his nightmares. And it was bad. When I woke him he could hardly speak because his screams affected his voice so it was only a whisper. "My... H-he was th-there! I s-saw him! Beh- behind you!" Desmond stuttered, breathing quickly. "What?" I asked trying to sound gentle but I was still angry. He shook his head and buried his face in his pillow. "Desmond Miles!" I said to him. He looked up at me and managed a tiny chuckle. I sat up with him. "There's no Animus today" I said hugging his arm. "Thank god!" he said gaining his voice back. I rested my head on his arm and looked up at his face. He coughed to clear his throat and smiled down at me. "I'm sorry for all this, I shouldn't have fallen asleep" he said. I shook my head and sat up. "Hey Des? Shut up ok?" I said jokingly. He laughed. "Affirmative!" he said as he saluted to me. I giggled and got up to leave. "Come down when you want Des, but DO NOT go to sleep" I grinned at him and Desmond mirrored it.
I was a little embarrassed to go down to face Rebecca and Shaun who I had screamed at earlier but I wanted to go and get something to eat so it had to be done. I walked down cautiously and passed them. And shut the door without making a sound. But instead of eating something I sat on one of the chairs at the dining table and burst in to tears. I didn't know why but I just felt so sad like I needed to cry. There was something buried deep down in my mind and I wanted to know what it was so badly, if it made me cry like this. But I wasn't just crying I was sobbing, that thing buried in my mind must be really bad. Then something flashed in my head. It was a woman in a car with long dark hair and a man with bright hazel eyes arguing over something I couldn't quite get. It was a dark rainy night outside. The man looked back at me and screwed his face up. "Get your seatbelt on now, Alicia!" he exclaimed. I nodded and when I looked down at my seat belt I heard the man shout and the women scream. I looked up and all I saw was a huge truck with no lights on hurtling towards the car.
Then it all went. I sat in confusion not making a sound though the tears still ran down my face. Who were they? And was that a car crash? I wiped away my tears and checked my face in a mirror above the kitchen sink. It was all red and blotchy. Damn it! How was I supposed to go through to the living room? They would've seen that I was crying and start to fuss about me! I wanted to know so badly what I had imagined had meant. I made my way through the Animus room and grabbed my iPod from the table beside it. Then I saw a door I hadn't really taken notice of before. I put my iPod in my ears and walked up to the door. It wasn't locked. I put my hand on the door handle and paused for a moment. What could be in here? Should I or should I not? To be honest I was curious about this door so I turned the handle and opened the door and saw something that made me gasp with delight. I had only seen this place a couple of times when Desmond took me to this house. It was the city.
I had never really been out in the city much not for at least a year. And I loved it. They had kept this door hidden from me this whole time so I wouldn't go out? Wow, that's kinda over-protective. I mean what could happen to me out here? Nothing, exactly! So I decided why not? I stepped out on to the pavement forgetting all my thoughts, all my worries and breathed in the polluted city air. "Ew!" I said as the smell of oil and chicken or something mixed to create a vulgar smell. I shut the door behind me and accidentally bumped into a person when I walked onto the pavement. "Watch it girl!" he said as I backed off. "Excuse me!" I snapped. No one talked to me like that! He just sighed and walked quickly away. "Damn idiot!" I mumbled and kicked a stone behind me. Then I heard a man's voice behind me say "Ouch that hurt, kid!" I snapped my head up and there was a blonde guy standing in front of me. That voice, it sounded exactly like the voice in my nightmares. He had a crazy look on his face and I backed away even further. "Oh, what? You scared of me kid? People didn't used to be scared, but now look at me!" he gestured his arms out to the city. "Who are you!" I stumbled back as he came closer. "Don't you know!" he chuckled evilly. Then the whole world around me collapsed into blankness. Nothing. Everything was white. Only me and this creep. I stared at him. "I- I don't know you!" I said having second thoughts about leaving the house. He stared back at me and shook his head. "You should" he replied his face was full of sadness. I walked closer to him for some reason feeling sorry for him. He shot a look at me and I stopped. "Please tell me who you are 'cause your freaking me out" I said looking around me. He giggled. "What?" I snapped. He suddenly turned serious and walked away into the blankness. "No come back! Don't just leave me here!" I shouted to him. He turned around. "By the way" he said. "My name is... Well what THEY call me.. I'm... Remember this Alicia." he turned back around and he started to almost fade away... Was I going insane or was he really pixelating into nothingness? "Subject 16. The names Subject 16" the guy said and then he was gone. I slumped down to my knees and stared helplessly at the blankness around me. I had no idea of anything I wanted so badly to fall asleep or something. Then I heard music in the distance. Was that Beethoven? I ran towards it as it got louder and louder. Then I saw it was just my iPod on the blankness. How did my iPod get there? No matter, at least I had something with me. I stuck my headphones in and put one of my favourite songs on. But the music shut off when the world collapsed around me again and changed. I was lying on the sofa with Desmond, Rebecca and Shaun fussing over me. I was so happy I was back with them I grinned but that hurt my head and a stab of searing pain went through my body. I cried out in pain and tears made their way down my cheeks. Desmond stroked my hair with a very nervous expression. I could tell Desmond was still not his-self. "You okay there?" he asked me. "Yeah" I sighed. "My heads annoying me" Desmond smiled. "Well shut up and try and get some sleep. We'll tell you what happened when your awake, ok Alicia?" he said raising his eyebrows. I nodded and did as he said.
When I woke I was in my bed. It was morning. I lay there, thinking. Was that guy the voice in my nightmares? The guy's name, what was it? 16? Subject 16? What? That's a pretty weird name. Maybe he knew Desmond. But I didn't care if he knew Desmond; I wanted to know who he was and what the hell had happened to me. And this time I wanted to know EVERYTHING. I waddled down the stairs and stared at Shaun. He looked back at me. "Eh... Yeah?" He said feeling awkward. I laughed sleepily. That was my goal, it's funny winding Shaun up. He slowly turned back to his computer. I then walked in to the kitchen. I ate some cereal and made my way through to the Animus room where Rebecca was at her other computer beside him. "Hey" she said gloomily, not looking at me. "Hey Becca, I didn't mean to shout, I just-" I said but she interrupted me. "It's OK kid. I wouldn't like to be in your position" she peered at me from her computer. "So what brings you here?" she asked. "Nothing just wandering" I said. She shrugged and went back to typing. I walked over and saw no door. No door at all. So what did happen? I would have to wait for Desmond.
I waited 6 hours for Desmond to get off the Animus. When he was off he walked into the living room and made his way up the stairs before I grabbed his arm. "Des?" I asked as he turned round. "Yeah?" he answered smiling a little. "You said you would tell me!" I said putting on fake puppy dog eyes. "Oh, yeah sure" he said and I pulled him over to the sofa where he was going to tell me. I mean, he HAD to tell me, didn't he? I slumped down on the sofa and Desmond did the same. "So what happened?" I asked eagerly. He looked down. "Well you- according to Rebecca- you were asleep on the kitchen table" he laughed a little. "Eh ok..." I said laughing as well. "Must have been real tired kid! But anyway I put you on the sofa when my Animus time was up. You had a nightmare, I think..." Desmond said. "Oh so I did... So wait it was all just a dream?" I answered feeling confused. "Seems that way" Desmond looked at me. "Can you tell me what your nightmare was?" he asked. I thought for a minute. I think I'm going to keep it quiet for the moment. "It doesn't matter" I said. He frowned. "Yeah it does so tell me!" I shook my head angrily. "You never tell me any of your nightmares" I snarled. "I'm going to sleep!" Desmond snapped. "But it's like 4 in the afternoon, Des!" I said to him, checking my iPod as he stood up. "I don't care." he mumbled and trudged away to the stairs. Had I just fallen out with Desmond? If I had it wasn't really a good time to fall out with him. I can't wait till I get back on to that bloody Animus!
