Being Free
Chapter 11
"Yes, I'm sure." I said.
"Wow." Iggy said.
"Why? Do you not believe me or something?" I asked Iggy. It hurt that he didn't believe me. I liked Iggy, he was nice and was caring.
"No. I mean yes." I liked it when he was confused. It was funny. "I believe you it's just. Weird. Um, Are you sure you don't want to finish eating? Or is my cooking that bad?" He asked. I laughed. He was funny.
Third's person's view.
Dylan was outside in the hallway. He didn't want to go straight to Max. He just needed to be out of the room for a minute. He also wanted to see what would happen if he left Daisy with Iggy. She trusted Iggy along with himself. He was not spying just listening. There is a big difference. He couold hear Iggy talking with Daisy.
Iggy was happy being in the room with Daisy. He couldn't see her but he could imagine what she looked like. He took what Dylan described to him last night while they were cleaning up. He got, small (Angel's height), Scared, turquoise eye's, younger than she looks, and of course a girl. He wanted to hear her laugh. He was determined to do that and he succeeded. After he asked his cooking she started to laugh. He soon joined her.
She laughed. She felt happy for the first time in a long time. Last night didn't really count for it ended with her being sad. Iggy enjoyed her laugh. It was different from every other person he knew. Dylan loved her laugh to. It reminded him of something long ago.
-Daisy's Pov-
After I stopped laughing I said, "No! I like your cooking. It's just..." How do I tell him. I'm small and I eat a lot. I can't get use to this, I also don't want to eat all of their food. It's also different from what I'm use to.
"It's different, I know." Iggy said like he could read my mind. I hope not, that would be scary. I wonder if he can hear me now. Or maybe he just knows that I'm just not comfortable yet, with everything. "But if your going to be living with us you need to eat like us." He continued. After giving me a look as if he isn't blind, "C'mon I know your hungry. I can tell. Eat!"
To be nice and to satisfy my stomach I picked up my plate and fork and finished eating the rest of the food. Iggy about stared at me as if he was going to watch me till I eat the whole plate. Scary. I was on the middle cushion on the couch when Max and Dylan came in. Then some guy followed after them to. I stopped talking with Iggy and moved over to my comer on the couch. Iggy's head turned to look at me.
"Hi, my name is Max. That person over there is Fang." She pointed to the guy who has made a spot in the corner. I just nodded my head. "You don'
t talk much do you? I mean other than when Dylan talks with you or I guess Iggy." I shook my head.
She got off of the recliner and started pacing back and forth. My eyes went with her while I stayed where I was.
She sat down. "Are you really Dylan's sister?" Wow, why does everyone keep asking me that. Okay I guess she is only the second person but still. I nodded my head but I don't think she saw she kept ranting, "How old are you? Did the 'school' create you? Were you in the car accident with Dylan? How did you escape from the 'school'? Are you a spy?" She looked at me and I just shrugged. Probably not the best answer but she was going so fast and my head was starting to spin. Not literally.
She turned and went back to pacing. "Do you have any powers? Have you studied them? Have you tried them out?"
At the last three questions I freaked out. I don't know much even if I'm nine. But I don't want to know about that topic. I know enough that they bring pain and questions. I don't like either of them. I put my head on my knees and wrapped my arms around my head as if I'm going to protect it. My face was hidden so they couldn't see all the emotion that went across it. I think I was shaking. I didn't hear anything. I was blocking out all sound. I didn't want to know what everyone was doing and I didn't care. I disliked this. Maybe if I went with 'him' it would be different. Maybe I wouldn't have all of these injuries. I could have grown up with him. He was my best friend, he did say that they said that there wouldn't be any more test. No! They lied to him, like they have lied to me for almost my whole life.
I slowly realized that someone was calling my name. "Daisy, it's okay." I felt a hand on my knee. I freaked out even more. I jumped up and fell off the couch. I fell backwards.
"Daisy? Are you okay?" Two different voices asked. Dylan and Iggy.
I backed up into the corner of the room. I curled up into a ball. I was scared. It was weak yes but I hit my head and that didn't help anything or anyone. But that also brought back a lot of painful memories.
"Daisy are you okay? We won't hurt you. Your safe." Dylan said.
I slowly brought my head out and sat up against the wall. I was still scared. I saw that Iggy and Dylan was the only one's in the room. Max and Fang was gone. Or they were somewhere where I couldn't see them. That didn't calm my nerves.
My eyes landed on Dylan. He was watching me closely to see if I was going to make a run for it. It was no use anyway, they would catch me.
"It's okay. Do you want to go back and sit on the couch? Or would you like to stay here?" Dylan answered and asked.
I slowly got up using the wall for support. I moved to the couch slowly. I think that they would call it a snails pace. When I sat down at my corner in the couch. I brought my legs up to my chest. Iggy sat down on the recliner and Dylan sat down on the other side of the couch, where Iggy was sitting earlier.
"Sorry about Max." Dylan started. "Do you mind if Iggy stays here?"
I shook my head yes. "C'mon, talk with me please. I know that you can talk." He encouraged me.
"Yes, it's okay he can stay." I told them.
"Can you tell us about yourself?"
"Um, I'm about nine and a half years old. I last saw you about 2 ½ years ago. We had a brother. As I told you last night."
"Yes, I remembered, you said that he died, correct?"
"Yes. He died then you left with 'them' the whitecoats. He died by saving me and then he paid for it."
"What happened exactly?" Dylan asked.
"I don't know exactly. They wanted him and we said no. It was our nature to protect him and yours to protect both of us. One of them grabbed me from behind and put a gun towards my head. I don't think they would have used it but it was convincing. He came forward and said to let me go that he would leave with them. After a while, I screamed in pain. I saw him in my mind and then he was gone. I asked you about it and you said that it might be a new power." I mumbled the last part.
"Oh. What was his name?"
"His name was Dan."
"Daisy." Dylan said slowly as not to scare me. "Please don't freak out, but do you have any powers?"
I tensed up. I disliked it when someone talked about powers or when they want me to have one or speak about them. Who wants powers, because I certainly don't. "Well, I don't know exactly. I mean I believe I have the one you and I figured out when we were younger, it never happened again. Another one is that I can remember something from when I was little, like a year old. I remember video's, people, everything. I might have a couple more powers. I don't know for sure."
"Can we test one of them?" He asked carefully.
I got even more tensed if that was possible. I didn't want to. I made a move to get up and ran away. Dylan might have sensed this because he grabbed my arm. Not in a hard way but strong enough so I couldn't break away from him. Iggy must have heard everything because he came over to help Dylan so there was no way I could break free.
I screamed. "Daisy, please calm down. We won't hurt you. I promise we just want to see something." Dylan said.
I was about standing up on the couch trying to pull my arms out of their grips. "Angel!" Iggy screamed out. Probably calling someone.
I tried even harder. The bandages didn't help. I saw the little girl with blond hair. She walked in slowly as to not scare me. Too late. I'm already scared stiff. She just creeps me out even more.
"I still can't read her mind." A mind reader. I never met anyone that could read minds. I think there are creepy whenever I heard about them, they crept me out. "You can let her go now."
It was my turn to hold onto there arms. I didn't let go even if they did.
"Thanks Angel. You can go and tell Max." Iggy said.
I watched her with my eyes. They followed her all the way out of the room. I didn't like her and I didn't trust her. "I'm sorry Daisy but you were going to bolt out of the room and I couldn't let that happen." Dylan stated.
I let go of their arms. They stayed where they were to watch what I would do. I still sorta wanted to bolt but I couldn't so that. No, you can't. A small voice said to me. No, it's not a actual voice that is talking to me. It's just the more sane one of me. I talk to myself. I sunk back down to the couch. I was now in the middle. I didn't like it. I pulled my legs back up to me and folded my arms over them. "It's okay. I know why you did that."
"Would you like to meet everyone? Since you are going to be living here, you might as well now everyone." Iggy said.
I nodded my head. I remembered almost everyone from last night. "Max, Fang, Gazzy, Nudge, Angel! Come here please. Daisy wants to meet you!" He screamed. I cringed.
I flinched when I heard all the footsteps. Five kids came in. I could recognize some of them and could guess there names.
"Guys, this is Daisy." I waved at them.
A girl that I guessed was Nudge came and said, "Hi, my name is Nudge. I love clothes and shopping. Do you? You are really pretty. I bet you love to shop. I have a dress that will be so pretty on you. You will look amazing in it. Max when can we go shopping again? It's been like forever." Nudge said. She probably would have continued if a small boy like looked like Angel, he must be called Gazzy. I don't know why but I don't think I want to find out.
"Nudge be quiet, I think you scared her or made her go into shock. You talk to much." He turned towards me and said, "Hi, I'm Gazzy. I'm Angel's brother. How old are you?" I was getting over the shock at how much Nudge could talk. She didn't even take a breath. How is that possible? My eyes were wide eyes. I could tell. That was a scary experience. To answer Gazzy's questioned I held up 9 finger and then added a half.
Nudge looked even more excited. I got more scared. She freaked me out. I knew I was going to have to hide from her. The glint in her eyes sparkled I must have become a doll to her. I was scared, I noticed that Dylan, Max, and Fang wasn't in the room. I looked around and couldn't see them. I was going to get up and go find him but Iggy lightly put his hand on my arm. I jumped. I looked at him. He gave me a small nod. He kept his hand on my arm.
"I'm Angel." The little girl said. She was a mind reader, but she couldn't read my mind. She scared me the most. Her eyes were bright. She had this huge smile on her face. I tried to smile but I couldn't. "You are going to love living here, if Max lets you stay. Nudge and I will have someone else to play with. I hope you like to dress up. Do you like barbies? Or Baby dolls, or how about stuff animals?"
I didn't have any clue to what any of those things were. I had an idea about the dress-up but nothing else. Wow, a sad childhood where a younger girl knew more about me. After learning more about the three they went and sat down and turned on the box others known as a T.V I learned that. It reminded me of when Sandy and I use to watch movies except that we used a screen and it was different.
I turned towards Iggy and asked, "Where did Dylan go?"
"Max needed to talk with him." He said reassuring.
"Oh." I turned back around to watch the other kids.
"May I look at your injuries? I noticed that you were scratching your head last night and this morning." I didn't realize that I was scratching.
"Sure." I mumbled.
He got up and left the room. I froze, he didn't tell me that he was going to do that. I was thinking that maybe I should follow him but he came back with the first aid. That must have been what he went to get. See no need to be worried. I told myself.
He came over and started to unwrap my head. He looked and touched. I kept still. It didn't hurt until he started to gently poke my ribs. I still flinched. They were really bruised. I didn't like that. I never have, had felt this bad before from fighting. Maybe it was because I've always won and didn't really let them win. Also Eraser's were easy to fight other than 'him'. After Iggy would look at my injuries he would re-bandage them with new bandages.
He told me that they were healing nicely and that I may be able to have my stitches removed in a day or two. Yes, I thought, I hate them and they did itch. Iggy told me that I couldn't itch them. I tried my best to not itch them but it was kinds hard not to. It also didn't helped that my hands were bandage too.
Writers note- Hey everybody, thank you all for the reviews, and favorites and followers that I got on the last chapter. I hope you like this chapter. I know it wasn't the best but I still hope that you liked it. It will be better in the next chapter. It will have a little but more action. Daisy will also meet Fang and Max and get to know them. I'm hoping that by next week I will have the next chapter up. I'm going to work on the next chapter tomorrow. I wrote this about 2 in the morning. Never going to do that again. Me and a friend of mine are stayed up all night because we couldn't sleep. So I wrote this. Never going to do that again. I've learned. Staying up all night is fun but after it is not fun. Talk with all of you soon.
Ains.
