Victim of Emotions
Chapter 2
I lay groaning on the floor face down. My body ached with the impact of the hard floor. Why does ground have to be so hard? I thought without much consideration of how stupid it sounded.
"Who are you?" asked a threatening voice, and I heard the click of the safety being released from the gun.
I pulled myself into a sitting position, holding my thumping head in my hand. I tried to shake the feeling away, only to get a dizzy sensation. "Oh, not good!" I moved my other hand quickly to my head, in the hope that that would help, only to feel pain in my arm. "OW!" I looked up to the scientist guys. "Hi!" I said, trying to be pleasant but wincing slightly as I tried to wave.
"Who are you?" the scientist asked again, even more threateningly.
"Someone who wishes she wasn't here right now, and will just leave and not make any more trouble. I apologise for being here and will leave right away. Goodbye," and I stood on my feet as quickly as I could without making it hurt too much.
"You think you can just walk out of here? What do you know about us?"
"And how did you get in here?" asked another scientist from behind the first.
I looked at the floor. I wasn't going to be getting out of here too easily. I had to come up with something. I knew if I told them the truth, they wouldn't believe me. I mean, what sort of human can jump three storeys without any effort.
"Well?" growled the scientist, getting impatient.
"Its no use," said yet another scientist. "She's probably a spy. She won't tell us a thing!"
"You're right! We can't risk her getting back to OZ and telling them of the Gundams."
OZ? And what were the Gundams? Why would I have been sent to spy on them? What had Duo gotten himself into? These were some of the many questions that ran through my head at that moment. But I had bigger problems to worry about. They were going to kill me!
The scientist before me lifted the gun more determinedly to my head and got ready to pull the trigger. But I wasn't planning on sticking around. I leapt into the air, somersaulting over their heads and landed on the other side. I heard the shot of the gun behind me, but I was already sprinting to the door.
As I ran down the corridor, I heard the alarm and then a voice telling of an intruder. Great! Just what I need! The whole building is going to be on the lookout for me!
I looked ahead and saw a turn in the long corridor. And from around that corner a couple of guards came. I skidded to a halt and was about to turn around and run back the way I had come, only to be faced by some of the scientists.
"You're trapped. You can't escape!" smirked a scientist.
I raised my eyebrow disbelievingly. "Are you sure?" I asked then leapt to the side to jump through the window, landing perfectly on the pavement below. I quickly disappeared from their view behind the buildings. I was at that moment very glad for having such unusual gifts.
