Chapter 10

Education in Death

"My goodness father! Do you not realize you're playing with the powers of god?! I can't breath right now," I said laying my hand on my forehead, and I plopped right into the office chair.

"Don't you know I realized this already?! I can explain myself Edward. Just please listen to me okay Edward," my dad said grabbing another chair, and sat right in front of me.

He folds his hands together, and sits in his regular posture. He breaths in deeply, and then he speaks up.

"When we started the project back when you were in middle school; I was told there was sponsors, and investments on this project...They were very willing to provide me resources to do this, and I did...One of those investors shockingly contacted me, and gave me a few ideas to improve...Or more say perfect this project...They were offering me organic specimens to work on this...Which means all these androids that you see upon you...Actually had an identity at one point."

"Wait are you saying that these androids...Has the bodies of those people that was willing to offer their bodies to science aka our project..? Oh hell I can't breath," I said turning around to look away from my dad.

My father rolled his chair up right next to mine, and got up close to me.

"But-But-But...There is a but in this situation...They were already passed on soldiers that was already discharged, but they were fantastic fighters they just needed...A little brief up on their fighting skills," he said holding his fist into his hand.

"So you secretly trained me without me even knowing all these years, tell me one day that I could help you with this project, only to find out you wasted my childhood training to play god!?...That still doesn't explain how I became Thirteen in the first place, and why?"

"You're not gonna be happy about this, but...Along time ago I had surgery done on you to take some-just some!...Of your brain for a DNA analyses, so Thirteen can work functionally-"

"You took some of my brain!? What kind of father are you," I interrupted, "I can't believe you, " I stood up walking towards the staircase.

"Edward it's just...The only reason I did that is because...I found out through your training you were the best out of the class, and your teacher told me you were improving faster than others...So I thought why not put you in the project too...Literally, and mentally…"

"...I can't believe you father...I'm going to bed; I have school in the morning…" I slowly started to go upstairs.

"You don't have school in the morning...or for the next two to three weeks…" my dad added as I stopped walking upstairs.

"What do you mean I don't have school in the morning..?"

"...I got a phone call saying school was canceled because it seems something happened TO the school...Meaning there was a fire."

"I...Don't know anymore, " I said making my way through the doorway, and headed towards my room. I opened the door to my room, and I closed it behind me. I leaned against my door, and I slowly slide down to the floor. I looked over to my desk to see my mirror. I got up, and I sat down at my desk. I looked at the mirror to see my reflection. I looked at myself in the mirror for a few minutes trying to figure out where did they make the incision at on my head. I moved my hair around till I finally found it.

It was a huge scar that went above, and across the right side my temple going almost to the back of my head. I never noticed that it was there in the first place...I feel deceived, and tricked throughout all these years...Now I know all these years was just a waste of time...I folded my hands together, and I pressed my hands together as slightly rocking back and forth in my chair.

Marie slowly started to wake up, and rolled over on my bed to hug me. She then realized I wasn't in bed. She looked over to me at my desk. She grabbed the closest pieces of clothing to cover herself up, and made her way towards me. She was wearing one of my black hoodies she found hanging from by bed polls, and her panties.

"Hey double D," she said wrapping her arms around me, and then kissed my cheek. She saw the blank expression on my. She sat down on my desk, and she grabbed my hands. She laid both of our hands onto her lap.

"Come on what's wrong Double D? You can tell me anything," she said smiling at me.

"Well Marie...It seems I'm out of the project for good now," I lied to Marie, so she wouldn't know the whole truth.

"And that's a good thing right, Double D?"

"In a away...Yeah it is...It also seems that we don't have school in the morning. Someone started a fire at the school, and did a lot of coloradical damage."

"Wow...So we're going to have to have no school for like what two weeks," she said surprised.

"Two to three weeks...I'm starting to think you, and I isn't safe here anymore," I said leaning in my chair.

"Whoa what? I agree we should go somewhere else, but doesn't mean we can go anywhere we want. Oh wait," she said with an idea coming into her head, "We can just stay at my house for a couple of days."

"My guess is since there was a drive-by here what's the chances of them doing a drive-by at your house?"

"Oh my god," she said realizing the probability of that happening was high. She got off my desk, and walked over to her pants pulling her phone out from her pants. She had set her phone on silence the whole time she was here at my house. She had eight missed calls, and thirty-five text messages. She looked through her phone, and took her time listening to the voice messages that was left behind.

She sat down on my bed in shock from the news she just got. I turned around, and walked over to her to hear what the news was about.

"What happened Marie...Tell me the news," I said sitting right next to her on the bed. She didn't say a word. She dropped her phone onto the ground, and just hugged me tightly. She digged her face into my bare chest as I hugged her back. I looked down at her phone to see one of the text. This is what it said.

Lee: Marie I know it might be the day of our sister's death, but at least show your face before the day ends.

Lee: Marie answer your phone already would ya!

Lee: Damn it Marie! Come on you never answer your phone when I need you.
