I woke up lying down but not on the floor, I was in a bed? I put my hand on my head to stabilize myself even though I was not standing.

I blinked once I blinked a second time, and then out of nowhere Agent 2 was there. She scared the hell out of me but said: "Do not worry you are in good hands now."

I do not remember a lot of what happened after that, but she did explain that the fight was a mere simulation for training agents. And that the pain I felt within it was not real but implemented in my nerves. The enemies were also fake just like the gun. After that I blacked out and a long time had passed.

I woke up again but not in any place I have been, I sat up straight then stood up. I looked around thinking: "Where the hell did I end up now?"

I took a good look around. I was outside, but nowhere I could recognize. I saw a lot of trees and bushes. Am I in a forest? And how did I end up here in the first place? I felt a light headache, but shook it off and decided that my best option was to move.

I kept walking in the same direction, to make sure I would not get lost. But then I heard something, or was it someone?

I stopped to listen and heard something from my left: "This way." A sinister voice whispered.

I supposed I had no other option, I followed the voice. It kept getting louder. Until I heard it getting quieter, but it came from same direction. I started to run to catch up with this voice, but it still kept getting more and more quiet. I sprinted at it until I could no longer hear it. "Damnit!" I shouted out.

Wait, how did I not notice this earlier? The trees got way bigger than they were before. I started hearing a calm but crooked voice behind me. I turned around, but there was nothing there.

I heard the crooked voice behind me again. "Are you lost? Do you need my help?" it asked.

I turned around, still nothing. Then a strange light come closer to me I waved at it, and it came even closer. I ran towards it, but when I got closer it was clearly a blazing forest fire.

I ran the opposite way as fast as I could. The fire caught up from behind and was spreading past me on my left and my right. Until it was blocking my path forward as well.

I started looking for an exit. I turned so fast it made me dizzy, until I eventually fell down to the ground.

I shot back up, I shouted it out from pain. I put my hand on my chest to stabilize the pain, but to my surprise I felt something rock hard there. This could not have been my body I felt. "She's awake! Quick come here!" I heard someone shout.

It was Agent 2 who rushed in, and short after Agent 1 rushed in after her. Though I did not notice them come in. I was panting, breathing heavy from the pain. Agent 2 put a hand on my shoulder and one on my back, I just noticed her on my left. "Agent 2?" I asked.

My vision started to blur for a moment, then cleared up again. I looked over to the right, Agent 1 was there talking to someone I did not recognize. Agent 2 made me look her way and asked me: "Are you feeling alright? You've been out cold for a week!"

I was so confused, What happened? I just noticed I am on a bed, and in a different room again. This room has got a table and 2 chairs just like that other room. "What the hell happened? How did I end up here? And what is this pain?" I asked.

Agent 2 started to explain. "Me and Agent 1 wanted to know how your physical condition was, so we decided to use our training room to test you. After you were done with the program the Sergeant came in not informed on the situation. He got so mad he broke multiple of your ribs, if it was not for me and 1 you might even have been killed."

At that moment a great pain shot through my head, and some picture's flashed before my eyes. A field filled with corpses, a tower with someone falling off, me strangling someone with them struggling to hold on to life. Until finally stopping, having died. "What the hell did you make me do?" I asked.

The person I did not know walked toward me and introduced themselves. "I am M-9, sorry but I cannot give you my real name. In here no one calls each other by their real names, I'm sure you've taken note of that. I work for the medical staff here, I am the one who made sure you would survive. I do have bad news for you though. After that stunt you pulled in the training room you have broken several ribs, it can take weeks maybe even months to recover. Though I might be the bearer of bad news, I believe Agent 1 and Agent 2 do have good news for you."

I looked over to them, they were both to my left by then. Agent 2 first asked: "Hey M-9 we want to tell without anyone else than us three here, would you mind giving us some space?" He nodded and left the room.

Agent 1 took off her sunglasses, and Agent 2 removed her face mask. I did not notice before, but they look exactly alike when you see their faces. They looked at each other and then to me.

Agent 1 started speaking: "After what happened a week ago in the training room we went to one of the higher ups in this agency. We requested that the captain is no longer on your case, and we asked if he could be removed from this location to overcome any more problems."

After she said that Agent 2 handed me a file, with another file in it. Curious. I looked at Agent 2 and she said: "keep that inner file for now and read it when you think you are ready for more testing. Just read the outer file for the moment."

I did as she said I put the inner file on the bed and started to read the outer file. After flipping some pages I found the most recent updates, they stated: "On request from two of our highest and most elite agents, we have removed the captain from this project. The captain is no longer allowed near the subject either. We put the agents that have requested this in charge of the case."

I... I felt something, I read it again. I heard a voice out of nowhere "This project shows promise."

I shook my head then asked: "Did I take a blow to the head during the incident a week ago?"

Agent 1 and Agent 2 looked at each other, then at the same time shook their heads from side to side. "Weird, I just heard a voice I did not recognize. It said 'this project shows promise.' What does that mean?"

Agent 1 shrugged and said: "Maybe it is from the drugs we used to keep you stable, everyone reacts different to them."

Maybe it is true, but I have my doubts about that. "What is in the inner file?" I asked out of curiosity.

Agent 2 asked: "1 would you mind leaving the room to me and her?"

Agent 1 nodded and said: "Okay, but I will be back in 10 minutes to check on her." and left the room.

Agent 2 had doubt in her eyes but said: "If you are ready to test your limits and continue searching for your memories read the file, not a second earlier. We did this for you, and because we think this will help all of us."

I nodded. Then seemingly out of nowhere a picture flashed in front of my eyes. It was my right shoulder, but something was on it.

I decided to look, I pulled up my sleeve and Agent 2 was shocked. I looked and saw a terrible scar, like a mark or a brand. It was formed in a sixteen sign. "Well that's new." I said, not realizing what this meant.

Agent 2 was still shocked by this, I saw she was worried. I told her not to worry, it doesn't hurt. At least not physically. That exact moment Agent 1 walked in again, "Holy shit!" she shouted out.

"Well, I guess we know my name now." I said, and we all agreed that it is 16.

Just a little while after that I decided to read my file entirely. It had some things I had never even know about myself. "Name: unknown, bio: found her passed out in an ally, species: Octarian female, Age: 21 years, by appearance true age is unknown but behavior points to her being 18 years old, problems: amnesia, does not remember anything before waking up here."

I wonder, how much does this agency knows about me?
