Ollo all. I just want to thank Natmuread for her lovely reviews! It really does mean a lot to me! Please readers, review!
I barely remembered anything because I only remember falling asleep as soon as we sat down. I awoke and found myself leaning against George's shoulder. The sun was already risen.
"How long?"
I looked over and he was asleep too. I laughed quietly. I got up and let me be. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and I found food. Surprisingly. I didn't cook but, I could make a mean bowl of cereal. I almost laughed at myself for even attempting to make a meal at all. Cooking was something that I wasn't made to do. I didn't any milk because I wasn't equipped with a freezer. I poured two bowls of cereal and waited for George to wake up.

I waited for an hour and then I got impatient. I went outside and sat down beside him again. I nudged him but, he didn't wake up. I shook him and he only shook. He was a heavy sleeper if he wanted too. I considered banging him on the head with a book or something like that but, I knew that it would probably render him unconscious. I looked at him and he looked so peaceful drawing in slow and steady breaths. So peaceful. How lucky he was. I ran through possible scenarios to wake him up and I came up with one that wouldn't harm him. I gently kissed him and he jostled awake.
"Huh? What did I miss?"
"Not much. I made a sort of breakfast."
"That's awesome. I'm starved."
He shot up and went inside.
"You're welcome." I muttered.
I followed him back inside.
"You got any milk?"
"No, I'm not equipped with one."
"Oh, well."
He dug into his cereal like a starved animal.
"Hungry?"
"Nope." He said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes. I spun my spoon in my cereal slowly.
"Not hungry?"
"Not really. Not interested is more like it."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. Eating isn't something I need to do."
"How can you survive without eating regularly?"
"My body just adjusted to not needing nutrients."
"You seem like a genetic experiment."
That ignited memories that were hidden long ago.
"You okay?"
I blinked.
"Yeah. Fine."
"I can tell when you're lying. You are lying."
"I'm fine. I just don't want to talk about it."
"You sure?"
"Certain."
George still looked at me like I was hiding something. I was hiding something.
"What are you keeping from me April?"
He had that determined look on his face.
"Did you know that you have a determined face? I think that you have a face for every mood."
"I'm serious."
"I' am too."
I sighed.
"No thanks. I'm not talking about it."
"Genetic experiment, genetic experiment, genetic experiment..."
I felt like flipping the table over in anger. Instead, I ran out in fear.
{*}
I didn't stop running. I felt like I was super charged. I couldn't stop and I wouldn't stop. I reached civilization and I slowed down to blend in with the crowds. I hoped to be left alone, finally in peace. I didn't want to remember what they did to me.
The perfect killing machine is what they called me. The successful genetic experiment. They made 'made' me into something that would protect them but, it backfired. The Black Hand wanted me to protect them from new threats but, I broke through my 'programming.' I started to understand why I was made and that was to kill people. I didn't want to become a monster. So, I started to hunt them down. In the end, I was left for dead in a gutter because they had found me and left me for dead. Luckily, my 'father' found me and took care of me. He taught me everything and I was eternally grateful. We planned this elaborate plan and I was nursed back to health. I tried to stay under the radar but, I was spotted and on July 5th, 1896 everything ended.
I tried so hard to forget everything but, some memories still haunt me. I can never find peace.
I aimed for the police station but, he beat me to it. I raced out of there and went back to my cabin. I could picture everything now. Every single moment that I ever regretted I could now see walking around like people or clouds floating around. My single moment of peace was interrupted by a soft knocking on my door. I was very cautious to whoever came to my door.
"Who is it?"
"Who do you think?"
"Please go. I just can't face you right now."
"Why not?"
"I' am the genetic experiment and I don't want to be reminded of that."
"What experiment?" He whispered.
I couldn't talk about it. I felt a certain responsibility to keep it safe.
"I can't talk about it. It's too painful."
"I thought that you were too tough for anything."
"I can't keep everything out. No one can."
"Are you going to let me in or not?"
"I can't let you see me in my worst state. There are some secrets that must stay secret."
I heard no response and I could hear footsteps retreating. I felt awful pushing him away but, I was the secret that couldn't be talked about. I then realized something. Since I had nothing left here, I could leave and lead danger somewhere else. Start over on a clean slate and the Black Hand would never find me. I hurried to the train station and found a schedule. There was a train leaving for Saskatoon, Saskatchewan leaving tomorrow at 1:50 p.m. I jumped at the chance. I got a ticket and went back home and started to pre pack.
I fell asleep in my bed waiting for my life to finally change.
Mwa ha ha! Is this the end of April and George? Wait and find out for the last chapter!
Now that you people finally know what she is, I think that it should all make sense. If it still doesn't, PM me and I'll explain it.
Thanks again to Natmuread for her lovely reviews! Love you all! Hugs all around!
