Chapter 12- The Escape
He always comes…
The metal door slid open and a man ran through, jumping off to the side and leaning against the wall quickly hitting the button to close the door again. The room was simple, steel grey walls and a bed in the corner, seated on the bed was a child. The kid, alone since the day he was born was a friend of silence, entertainment was limited and so he spent most of his time waiting for someone or something to come.
He came every day
The man standing beside the door, looked up. A smile began forming on his face as his eyes met with the child's.
By this point I was expecting him to come… I waited for him
The man had light blue hair and crimson eyes. A handsome face and well built chest, he wasn't wearing a shirt. Every time the child had seen him, he'd never worn one; the child was beginning to believe he probably didn't even own a shirt. His pants were loose with odd brown stains on it along with being a dingy grey, it almost looked like it was made out of a rag or old wash cloth.
They always said I was a spitting image of him…that we were identical in looks…
He rushed over to the bed, glancing briefly at the door before smiling loving at the kid again. He reached over and pulled the kid into a tight hug, happiness vibrating off of him as though it were a sound he was emitting.
He was always so loving…He was the only one who ever touched me like that…
"They did some bad things to you, didn't they…" The man whispered softly, his voice dripping with sympathy and guilt
That feeling of being safe… I felt that with him…
And just like that, the mood changed
He always did that… he always spoke like he had committed some huge crime they were being punished for; he always talked like it was his fault they were there in the first place
I didn't understand
He pulled back and took the kids hand, intertwining their fingers and pressing his forehead against the much smaller males
"I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? …I promise I'll get you far away from this place…"
His grip on the boys hand tightened, his eyes clouded with depression and determination
I never understood where he wanted to go, or why he wanted to get there so badly
The boy didn't respond, he just stared at the other man intrigued by his emotions, his actions, his behavior as a whole. It was so different then everyone else's.
Whenever I saw him, he never wore a shirt
The man smiled sadly, it's not like he had been expecting the boy to talk- the boy almost never spoke. He was just happy to be near him at all.
He was always half naked and went on about this promise…
He hugged the boy again, closing his eyes and absorbing himself in the embrace
He never wanted to let go
"I promise…"
I never understood any of it…
Until…
----------
I passed by another guy who barely even glanced at me. Up ahead two people are talking- neither taking notice of me, as if it didn't matter.
No one cares that I'm walking around alone, eh?
That's weird
Hmmm….
I've been walking around for about 5 minutes
And it's….
…Kay I have no idea what time it is
2:27am a female voice said in my head
Oh
….wait….
What the hell was that
Er… never mind… I don't wanna stress out thinking about it
This would be easier if I knew where I was going…
Maybe I should ask someone
…Oh yeah, that would go round well, 'excuse me, do you know how I get out of here' 'Are you trying to escape?' 'oh yes, I really can't stand it here, can you please direct me to the nearest exit?' 'Most certainly down the hall and to the left- oh and here, take a pie for your journey'
………………….
Pie??
Right now I know there's something wrong with me…
I don't even know what pie iiiisss….
Never mind that, the important thing is that one way or another I have to find a way out of here…
I can't stay here… I know I can't… I couldn't even if I did want to
-------Flashback-------
"…Is Max okay?"
"Yeah… He's gonna be fine…"
Kai looked up, he didn't know when he had picked up the ability to hear people in other rooms so well- but the fact that he could had definitely caught his attention
He crawled closer to the wall and needlessly pressed his ear against it in attempts to make sure he would hear the conversation right
…What were they going to do with him?
"Tala, that was serious… he doesn't know how to control himself…"
"I know…"
"Don't look so depressed, admit it"
Tala's voice dropped down to a whisper, "well.. yea, I guess I was pretty scared…"
….scared…?
Bryan's tone of voice changed to concerning, "Tal… no ones saying what you did wasn't a good idea… but now's not the time…"
"Yeah… I get it…"
"So what are we gonna do…?"
"I guess we could… I mean, have to- reactivate it…"
Kai pulled back from the wall and glared at it
…I'm not going back…
-------end Flashback--------
…They wanna turn me back into that mindless drone…
If deactivating that chip was to give me choices
Then I choose against this
I turned another corner
….. ALL THESE HALLS LOOK ALIKE…
And God, I am getting so tired of these grey walls, like what, is this a fashion thing? No one likes the colour BLUE?!
I stopped dead in my tracks, eyes widening as I stared up ahead
There were scientists talking amongst each other
I know that uniform!!
Yazaka!! I gasped and ran for the nearest door and hit the button rushing in
The door shut, I stood by it waiting nervously
"Kai?"
I spun around only to lock eyes with a purple redish haired scientist standing across what looked like a lab room.
"Who are you" I said immediately
"Who am I?" he blinked and began turning his back to me occupying himself with something on the counter, "well that's an awkward question"
"Why…" I took a few steps forward
"Well, I would think you'd know who I was.. you don't seem like the forgetful type- then again, your voice also didn't have emotion the last time I spoke to you." The male twisted to look back at me again, "Which leads me to believe… something's happened between now and then"
"Nothing happened, I am forgetful, so just tell me who you are" I looked back anxiously at the door, oh God I so hope they aren't planning on coming in here
"…I'm Michael…" He was looking back at that counter again bending over
"Oh, I'm Kai" I said distractedly
…wait… I'm pretty sure he already knew that
I shook my head
"Look, Kai, I'm a little busy- if you're only here to bother me then I would kindly ask you lea-"
What?!
"NO!"
He turned to stare at me again
"I mean…" Blast, what would a cyborg say, let's see everyone was always asking me to help them… "I can help!"
"…I don't need any help"
"No really!" I popped up beside him
Okay what the hell is that black thing he's looking into (1)
...I've seen scientists at Yazaka look in those too before...
"I'm great at helping- Do you have anything heavy? I'm really good at carrying stuff" I popped up to his other side, he opened his mouth to say something but I spoke before he could, "or I can clean your test tubes" I picked up the one in front of me, eeewww, what's this junk in it, "this one looks dirty." I said showing him the test tube
"I know… I put that in there" he pulled it away from me, "do you think you could stop touching stuff"
"Oh… uh… okay"
"So what's with the bag, are you guys leaving already?"
Leaving?? Wha.. uh
"No…"
He gave me a questioning look
"I mean… yea"
Micheal started looking back in the black thing and I stared at him
………………………
Stare I did
I think he noticed I was staring cause he turned to stay at me with a dude-your-kinda-freaking-me-out look
"uh Kai…"
"yea?"
"…Okay, if you must stay here and be… weird… Do you think you can go bring me those grey balls on the other side of the room"
"…Why do you have grey balls??"
"…It's made of a chronic…" he kept talking …what the hell is he talking about… …I think I could fall asleep listening to this guy
"I don't get it" I absent mindedly interrupted him hoping he would just say forget it and shut up
"…Uh…well see I just need to pour the proxindine dioxide over them to…" bleh, he's still talking
I stared looking around distractedly again
"Kai… just go get 'em" he said un-amused with my behaviour, pointing in a direction
"Uuuhhh, okay" I turned and started walking over towards where he motioned, I picked up one of the balls, wow… they're tiny… "these?" I turned and looked at him holding it up
"Yeah"
I picked the box up and started back towards Michael
…Have you ever tripped over your own feet?
…Yea I did that…
And the balls in the box fell out and rolled all over the floor
I blinked, whoops- I looked up and noticed Michael staring at me with an 'oh-dear-lord' look
Aheh heh… I smiled weakly and bent down picking all the little balls off the floor, I picked the box up and walked back over to Micheal putting them down
Micheal looked into the box
"…You're missing one…"
…huh… oh…. Uh…maybe it rolled until that counter… I walked over and got down on all fours- bending my arms so head was very close to the floor. I stared under- aaahhh, there it is, I reached my hand in and tried to reach it
…Damn it rolled too far…
I kept reaching
Damn… almost… have it- just a little… farther…
CRAP- I just can't reach the damn thing!
Why can't my arm be longer…
I gasped and jerked up making my arm bang into the counter as I felt something warm press against my butt
Whatever it was began to squeeze
I pulled my arm back and whipped my head around to look at whatever it was to see Michael behind me
"You are pretty useless aren't you" he smiled
Hey… I resent that comment- it's not MY fault I can't reach the ball
MY ARM ISN'T LONG ENOUGH!!
"I am not useless"
He laughed and squeezed my ass again
I must say, this is not comfortable
At all…
Michael grabbed the back of my shirt and yanked me to sit up with his other hand still on my ass. He moved his face closer to mine and smiled strangely in a way I didn't really understand.
"You're right, you are a good use for something…"
…. Huh…?
--------
CRASH
THUD
BOOM
"AAHH!" I ran out of the lab and dashed into the hall, turning around and staring half shocked and half angrily at the door
What… how did… he…. I don't know what he did- wait he touched my dick… and touching my dick means- SEXIES!!! I mean… SEX, he was trying to have sex with me!!!
"224?!
I turned and gasped, what the hell?! the scientists from before are still here
Damn it… what the hell are the odds
What they have no life they just stood there talking the whole time?!
They suddenly looked very mad
"he has a bag"
"He's trying to get away!"
Of course.. they'd be the only ones who'd know what I'm up to
"Uh- no no, I was just.. uh…" I started
They started coming closer to me
…Right I can think of nothing to say in this situation- I'm guessing there's only one thing I can do then
RUN
And so
I took off in the other direction
Wow…
Okay
I'm fast!!!
I might just get away!!!
I burst through the first door I saw
…a STAIRCASE?!
Uh uh- okay, I'll just, run down the stairs
I'm still fast, they won't be able to get me!!!
I quickly started down the staircase, after about a flight down and I looked up to see them leaning over the edge staring at me
AH! That's motivation to go faster
It's okay
They can't catch me they can't catch me
THEY CAN'T CATCH ME
I heard some kind of clunking and breaking noise, but kept running, not wanting to look back
When I noticed the science geeks hanging beside me in the middle gap of the staircase room, from a black ropeish cable thing
THE HELL?!
Being the smooth person I am reacting to stuff like this
I managed to trip over my own feet again and fall down the stairs
…Right they might catch me if they do that…
…and it probably doesn't help that I just fell down the stairs…
I sat up ruggedly …. Ow… owie… ow…. I scraped myself … a lot … : (
"Shit…" I groaned
Huh, that's weird I get the feeling something's being aimed at me
I turned and a bright red light ended up in my eye
"AH!" I shut my eye and held my hand out in front of my face to attempt to see
…only to see science geeks- have guns…
…I don't wanna know what's loaded in there…
And judging by this light aimed at my head
I should probably move…
Okay I have two options
I can either keep running down the stairs, hope to God that I don't get shot and somehow manage to magically miss anything they try to shoot at me
Or I can say a pray and jump over the railing
Uuuuuhhhhh
I'll take my chances with running
I took off running down the stairs, hearing the gun fire behind me
Then one shot right in front of me
…Right never mind railing it is
I jumped over the edge
OH MY GOD THERE'S LIKE 20 FLIGHTS
RAILING BAD RAILING BAD
I flapped my arms and legs and screamed bloody Mary
I'm a cyborg!!
I should be able to save myself
I mean- rope, cushion- I DUNNO, SOMETHING?!
I felt something shoot out my hands and feet
Next thing I knew I was hanging, face about 2 inches away from the floor- arms twisted around my body and legs pointed in different directions
…Right… This is awkward…
I twisted some more to look behind me to see that same black ropeish cable thing that the yazaka scientists used sticking out of my hands and …shoes… greeeeaaat… now I need new shoes… But never mind that- it looks like they had hooks or something at the end cause the cables were jammed into newly made holes up along the flights of staircases
That would explain the weird sound before I noticed the hanging scientists… They must have hooks on the end too
Wow I figured that out, way to go Mr. Obvious
Oh my God! Speaking of them, science dudes are coming down!!!
I looked back at the floor
…Kay so now how do I get down from here
I felt the cables start retracting and the floor that was oh so very close before
Made contact with me
I rolled over
"SHIT" I yelled rubbing my face
I cracked an eye open and saw the scientists very close
Oh crap!
I shot up and made a run for it again
I dunno where I am, I don't know where I'm going- I just know I have to get away
I glanced back again to see how far away Yazaka's employees were, as I turned back I noticed I was about to run straight into a BBA scientist holding a tray of beakers and test tubes
"AH!"
"Oh no! Please don't!" he yelled
I moved at the last minute trying to avoid him, but still bumping into his side- I twisted and shot back catching his slanted tray and fixing it back upright steadily making sure nothing fell
…Ah…
He made a 'oh-thank-God' face and I noticed I should probably keep running, so I turned and ran again
I have to go
Go…
Go…
Go…
"N-NO!" I heard that BBA scientist yell behind me followed by a crashing noise that made me flinch
That can't be good…
...Oh well.. At least I tried...
That's when I noticed- A DOOR! I picked up speed toward it
Almost….
I felt something sharp hit my back and a sudden rush of pain shot through my body
What… the hell is this?! I immediately fell on all fours.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" I screamed It's so strong… I can barely... breathe. I glanced up, staring at the world outside the door
The trees… the sky… I was ….so close… so close to freedom…
"…Fuck…" I gritted through my teeth painfully gripping my own body and then…
I fell…
My world filled with darkness…
--------------------
BAM
BAM
BAM
"BAH!" I yelled and jumped at the loud noise falling out of the bed
I sat up upsetly and rubbed my head, "god damn it"
BAM
BAM
"o-KAY, I'm COMING- GEEZ" I got up and dragged my self to the door
WHO THE HELL IS BOTHERING ME AT THIS TIME OF THE NIGHT
I hit the button
Through my half open fuzzy eyes I managed to see large white things
"Mr. Ivanov?" the blobby thing said
Wait I know that voice
I blinked a few more times, my vision clearing
Hey it's those scientists from Yazaka!
……….and they're dragging Kai…………
Wait- Kai?!
"Is that my cyborg??" I blinked shocked, no he's sleeping!
…Wait no- clearly if he's out here, he's not sleeping then
…Riiiiight, that would make sense…
On the other hand, he is knocked out- soooo, he iiisss kinda sleeping
Not the point
"Yes… he tried to escape" Another said
"You should keep a better eye on him- he tends to do this a lot" said the third
"I didn't… realize…" I blinked again
"I suggest keeping him in a locked room…"
The other two lifted Kai up and walked over to the other door, hitting the button and throwing Kai in.
I flinched as I heard him hit the floor
…was that REALLY necessary??
"So… changed your mind yet?" One of the scientist people asked
"W-What?" was my smart response
"To reactivate the chip- did you finally go back on your choice?"
"We're assuming if he's running away, he must have been as much of a pain here as he was at the facility"
I paused
…Me and Bryan had discussed that we'd get it reactivated…
But…
I looked back at Kai's door…
He tried to run away…?
"Um… look- I'll get back to you on that"
----------
I half opened my eyes
The pains gone
….The harsh pain… I remember it… so clearly and now it's…gone?
What happened?
…Wait do I wanna know what happened??
…….Never mind I probably don't…….
My head hurts… and my scrapes are gone…
I paused… was I…
Yea… I'm in that bedroom again
I rolled over to face the wall… Crap I must be in so must trouble…
….And when they find out I broke that zappy thing I just know I'm gonna get a beating…
I felt a familiar sting in my eyes again and I shut them angrily
Maybe I should just roll over and accept things…
I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? …I promise
The voice rang strong in my head and I felt hot tears start pouring down my face
"Kai?" …Tala…
…Oh- that's what I need… torment from the red headed do right man
"Piss off" I muttered
I felt the bed shift as weight was applied on side. My guess- he's sitting on it
"…Come on, we have to talk…" He whispered comfortingly
"I said, piss off" my voice cracked that time
"…Kai… are you crying?" Tala put a hand on me
I didn't respond
"Kai??" Tala pulled at the blankets and looked at me
…………………….
Hello- privacy here?!?
"Go away!!" I tried to shove him off
"Kai…." He stared at me with a weird look and sat up holding the hand I used to try to swat him away
I sat up and stared at him suspiciously
Something's not right here… he's planning something I know it…
He moved forward, and wrapped his arms around me
I froze… wha….what??
"…w-what are you doing…" I stuttered suspiciously
"…It's a hug…" he said hardly audible
"…A… hug?"
My eyes started stinging again
A hug… I know this…
I haven't felt this in so long…
"Yeah… I want you to know- despite what's happened… I care about you"
"No, Y-You don't" My voice cracked as I spoke, as I tried to speak while half trying not to cry, "y-you wan-na re-re-activate my ch-ip"
There was a slight pause and Tala tightened his embrace
"…You heard…"
I didn't respond again
"…Kai.. it's not that… I mean- I don't want to… it's just… I want more then anything to see this work… But you have to help me- I can't do it alone…"
Fuck that- I didn't even want to be here altogether
Tala held me for a little while till I calmed down
Tala pulled back to look at me, still holding me in my arms.
I have a weird suspicion he's gonna squeeze me really hard or something… excruciating like that…
"Kai… why'd you run away?"
…………..
WHY?!
"…I dunno… I'm a strange guy… I have weird tendency to try to get away from people who cause me pain…"
Tala made a face before speaking, "alright… fair enough… you're scared, we're hurting you- and everyone's yelling and getting angry at you at all the time, that it?"
…Uh huh- and why do you ask me questions when you already know the answers?
He hugged me again
"…I'm sorry…" He whispered
… you're… what?
"Huh…" I responded
I think they made me say that once when I was little…
"I said… I'm sorry" he said it a little louder this time, as if thinking I didn't hear him
"I know… I don't get it"
He tightened his embrace
"I mean… uh… I know what I did was wrong, and I feel bad about it"
"… I see…"
There was silence
…I didn't know what else to say
So I said the only thing I could think of at the time
"…You're touching me in a weird way"
…………
No one said it was smart…
Tala pulled back and stared at me again
"You don't know what a hug is?" He questioned me
"You didn't realize this earlier?"
"I did, but it seemed inappropriate to ask, I mean with you crying and all…"
"I wasn't crying, those were manly tears of manliness"
Tala blinked at me before raising his eyebrow, "okay, suuuure, let's go with that"
………………………..
What… I can be manly and cry at the same time
I'm cool like that
"…Well no… I didn't" I said, answering his hug question
"Which means … no ones ever hugged you?" He gave me a sympathetic look
….that's not true…
"Well… one person did… my father" I spoke softly
"…Oh… What happened to him?"
…. That's a good question
"I dunno"
"You don't, know?" Tala stared at me funny
"No… I …don't…"
Tala gave me a 'I-don't-really-understand-what-you're-trying-to-say' look
I blinked, maybe I should just tell him…?
"….Oh… well… see…" I started …never mind this seems stupid, "forget it"
"…No, I wanna know"
"You want, to know?"
"Yeah- I'd love to know…"
"…You really are weird, I dunno- we were both at the facility and then one day he just stopped coming to visit."
"Oh… was he a scientist?"
"A test subject"
"Ah… I see…"
There was silence again
Then Tala suddenly had a concerned and outraged expression
"Wait!! Did he enroll you both in the facility at the same time?!" He gasped
I frowned at him, "no! He was forced there, he wanted out"
"Oh good" Tala sighed, "well I mean, bad that he was there- good that he was forced and wasn't there by free will… and good he didn't… enroll you there, cause that would be… mean…"
I'm starting to suspect… this guy might be bad with words
Tala smiled slightly, leaning closer
"Kai… I don't know what kind of road we're headed for, but I want you to know- this isn't the facility… I'm here for you…"
Well… he's definitely different then anyone at the facility
He kind of reminds me of…
…Dad…
Aaaawww, dad-di-o … I wonder why he didn't wear a shirt… maybe it had no purpose, maybe it was to show off his hot build –suggestive eyebrow raise- If he looked like Kai that means he was a sexy beasty
Lol, 5 reviews for an update
(1)- Michael was looking through a microscope
It was from Kai's perspective so clearly he wouldn't know what a microscope is...
Sorry this chapter wasn't really funny
At least I don't think it is
…I dunno maybe I'm wrong O.o;;
Anyway, moving on to more important matters

For reviewing
Reviewing Star for Chapter 11 was Iced Coffee
By the way, sorry, I made an error in the last chapter- I said Iced Coffee was the star for Chapter 9 when I meant Chapter 10. The first to review for chapter 9 was actually What?! : ) sorry about that
And! Iced Coffee takes reviewing star for the second time in a row : ) good job
Questions
There was one question
D0n'th8m3cUz.U.iN'tm3 Writes:
hey u are planning 4 a tala/kai lemon aren't u well maybe not immediately but in time of course?
Answer: No comment for the time being : )
Lol, I'm soooo helpful xD
And I have 2
Short Notes
To D0n'th8m3cUz.U.iN'tm3: "u know that if kai were here u would be 6 feet under in a desert plain by now :D" I just had to say I absolutely love that comment, that made me laugh, Rofl xD. And in regards to the at signs, I'll always know it's you- the real question was to make sure you knew I was talking to you when I write back in a chapter like this. Which clearly you do, since you read that message. And about not reviewing, actually I thought I scared you off when I told you I was depressed by your Kai uke question back in Chapter 8
To Hoochiemama: … You reviewed in Spanish… : D that's great… but… I don't speak Spanish D: … Why would you review in a language I don't speak- that doesn't make sense at all o.- I had someone translate it, but stiiiiill… I speak a little French. But don't review in that either… I wasn't good at it : (
Okay I'm done, now I have a question for all of you
If you're an anonymous reviewer, or you don't have this story on story alert, or me on your author alert- how do you guys know when I update? Keep checking? Someone tells you?
…Was just curious- okay
