Being Free

Chapter 7

I woke up to a sound. I sat up. Fear was in me. I was griped on fear. The hairs on the back of my neck was standing up.

"Who's there?" I asked. I sounded braver than I was and felt.

"Hello Daisy." A voice said. A voice I never thought I would hear again. A voice I could remember and relate to. A voice from my memorizes.

"What are you doing here." I asked with venom in my voice. I was standing up now with the back pack on my back. It was very useful and I had it on.

"The 'school' wants you back." He said easily calm.

"Well to bad because I'm not going back. Ever." I told him back and it was true I wasn't going back not without a fight.

"Oh, that's a shame. I thought we could go back in peace." Then I saw him. Well, the eraser him. He had two more eraser's with him. I got ready to fight. Just when I made it into Arizona to. They had to show up and ruin my plan.

The one to the left of me came at me. I snapped out my left fist to connect with his nose. It smashed with a crack. His nose would be broken. Blood started coming out of it. His right foot came out and swung at me. I dodge it and kicked him in the chest. He smacked the back of his head to the cave side. He was toast after that and knocked out. One down two left to go. I didn't even have time to straighten up because the next thing I knew a fist came and smacked me in the eye. That would leave a mark. I jumped up and kicked him square in the chest. He got the wind knocked out of him. I didn't leave him any time before I jumped on his back and put my hands over his ears. He screamed and was down. I got back to my feet.

"Good job Daisy." He said. "You've learned well."

"Unlike your two friends over here." I snapped back at him.

"Yeah, well they didn't pay much attention to their teacher." He said back to me.

" Yeah and who was that, may I ask." I asked sweetly. He knew and I knew very well who taught them. He hung his head in shame for a minute before" We both know who and we also know who taught you."

Now it was my turn to hang my head in shame, but I didn't. That would have given him a advantage. He taught me but I equally taught him too. He also knew me inside an out. He was my best friend.

"Just come back, Daisy?" He asked. He sounded so younger.

"No, I... I can't. Not after what they did." I told him. They ruined everything. No matter what they took everything I loved and cared about and destroyed it.

"Daisy, they said this time it would be different. They said that you and me could go back to what we use to be. Best friends, like before when we were younger."

"No, it won't ever be the same. They took my family away from me. They have destroyed everything I've loved. They will just want more answers. It won't ever be different. I have none but myself and I can't live like that. Where I live with people who doesn't care about me. They barley feed me. Who can live like that?" I could feel tears in my eyes. No, you can't cry. Not in front of him. I can't show emotion or he will have some victory. I can't let that happen. He can't win and neither can 'they'.

"No Daisy. They promised me. They said they wouldn't harm you. They told me that there wouldn't be any more test. We can be free." That word haunts me. "Just like we've always wanted. We can be friends and have fun together." He tried persuading me.

"Then why do we have to go back? If there won't be any more test then why do we have to go back and live there. Why can't we be free and live away from them? Why do they need me?" I ask him.

"They said no more test but they wanted to watch us, they want to see us grow up."

"No." I said and that was that. If I could be free then I want to live with other humans not by scientist.

"Well, I'm sorry Daisy but that isn't an option." Then he lunged at me.
