Disclaimer: Hannah, Aren, Laila, Dane and Kerry are mine, so is Broodus and all the other little characters. Lydecker, Logan, Zack and Max aren't mine, neither is the song "The Rose" get over it.
12 YEARS LATER at MANTICORE
Hannah looked down the cold metallic hallway dreaming of a way out. She hated this place and Lydecker, not to mention his odious nephew Broodus. She knew there were people out there; after all she still had the pictures. She leaped back to her bed and pulled from under the pillow the two mysterious pictures that she'd had since she could remember. One was of a single man and on the back was printed in neat writing Logan Kayle, but the other picture was of a man, woman and baby, and on the back was written in a careless scrawl, Zack, Max and Hannah. She had decided long ago that she must be the baby and therefore Hannah, and the woman must be her mother, Max, and the man her father, Zack. She looked over at where Kerry slept, her dark red hair in a light fuzz on top of her head and her dark brown eyes closed, unaware that Hannah was still up at one am dreaming of her parents. Hannah still remembered the night that she had asked Lydecker where she had come from. He had looked scared, but the next night he had slipped her a book entitled "Mommies, Daddies and Babies." She reached under her bed and pulled out the small chest that held all her belongings, except the pictures. She lifted the lid and reached under her winter sweater and pants and then under her summer dress and shorts to pull out the small, worn out book. She stared at the cover for a moment, it was in the same pose as her picture but she thought hers looked better, less posed. She sat staring at the picture for an hour, dreaming of being in the woman's arms and having them both looking down at her and smiling.
~Click, click, click.~ She was pulled out of her trance by footsteps coming down the hall towards the room.
~Damn, the guard.~ She thought to herself quickly shoving the chest back under the bed and burrowing under the covers, leaving her head out so he wouldn't come and lift the covers, if he did he would find the pictures and book.
The guard walked in seconds after she closed her eyes, he walked down the middle aisle between the beds, past Laila and Dane and then back on the other side past Kerry, Hannah and finally Aren. Satisfied that they were all there he turned out the door and down another cold metal hall.
~Click, click, click.~ She heard his footsteps get quieter and quieter as he got farther and farther away.
She sat up again and looked around the room. Dane's covers had fallen off again, Hannah slipped out from under her covers and snuck stealthily over to his bed. His hair was growing faster than the others and had a natural wave that was starting to show, she reached down and slipped her hand through it to get it out of his eyes, admiring its sandy brown color. Dane was almost the youngest of them at twelve, Laila was eleven and the youngest, Kerry was fifteen, Aren fourteen and Hannah was the middle child at thirteen, she'd had to pump Lydecker for that information, but still didn't know her birthday. Hannah pulled Dane's covers up over him again and leaned down to kiss his forehead, he stirred but didn't wake up, he had always been bad at that and Lydecker often punished him for it.
Hannah moved over to Laila's bed tucking the covers under her chin. She wished she could see Laila's hair grown out, it was such a pretty golden brown color and Hannah knew that it would probably shine if it were longer. Hannah's own hair was tiny dull blond curls on top of her head and she'd have given anything to have hair like Aren's. His was a dark raven color that looked perfect his pale blue eyes. Hannah moved over to Aren's bed and looked down at his sleeping body, she sat down on his bed. She sat like that for a minute or so and then lay down beside him, dreaming of him putting his arm around her. She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips, his arm reached up and pinned hers behind her back. He woke slowly but as soon as he realized that it was her he let go of her arm and his face took on a concerned look.
"Are you alright Han?" He asked. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Then he realized that she was in his bed. "Hey, what are you doing in my bed?" He asked this time curiously.
"I couldn't sleep." Hannah fibbed, she had always been different from the others, she had never really needed to sleep, she just did because the others did.
"Oh." He replied laying back down and lifting the covers for her to scoot under. She did and he held her close to him, out of impulse she started singing. It was the only song that she knew but she couldn't remember where she had learned it.
"Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed." She finished and Aren looked at her, his arm around her, he just lay and stared. "Aren don't look at me like that." Hannah whispered feeling embarrassed.
"You're really pretty Hannah." He told her holding her tighter.
"Aren, get your eyes checked, besides you've got Kerry." She told him laughing.
"I don't want Kerry and she hates me anyway." He told her. They lay talking for hours before Aren fell asleep and Hannah joined him in slumber. They woke only a little while later to Lydecker's shouts.
"41551-71220, 41551-71219 get up!" First Hannah and then Aren was called out of bed by Lydecker's angry shouts. "41551-71219 down and give me two hundred and fifty." He shouted at Aren. "41551-71220 down and give me two hundred." He yelled at Hannah, using the full code to make them know that he meant business. "18, 21, and 22 get up and go shower." Kerry, Dane and then Laila got up and headed for the showers as their number was called, he wasn't mad at them and so took off the 41551-712 only calling the last two numbers in the code.
Hannah dropped to the floor and lay for a moment before starting in on her punishment to get it over with. She pulled off her two hundred in about a minute and then jumped up ready to hop into the shower and then get into some nice warm clothes.
"20 what are you doing?" Lydecker barked coldly.
"Going to shower sir." She answered meekly even though she would have liked to spit in his face and walk away or do anything to defy his power.
"No you're not, not until you've run the track fifteen times." He told her sourly, but shortening her code too. "Broodus take her out to the track and make sure she runs it the full number, no slacking." He instructed his nephew. Broodus quickly had Hannah by the arm and was leading her out the door.
"You can't make her run in her nightgown! It's freezing outside!" She heard Aren yelling at Lydecker and then she was being led out of hearing range. They arrived on the track and Aren was right it was cold, but her body adjusted to it quickly as she ran, feeling her leg muscles unwind. She ran around the track faster and faster feeling the wind on her face. This was the only time she felt free. Running was something that gave her power and it got out her frustrations at Lydecker and Broodus and sometimes even at Kerry. When she ran she could throw all of her problems to the wind that raced by her, it was sort of like cleaning the attic. Then she could fill her head with better thoughts, of finding her parents or Logan, but other times she just let her mind go blank. Before she knew it her laps were over, but she had been thinking while she ran, if she wanted to find her parents or this mysterious Logan Kayle guy she'd have to get out of here first, by the end of her run she had devised a plan and all she needed was Aren for it to work.
That night she slipped out of bed again and over to Aren's, this time she restrained herself from kissing him and instead poked him in the ribs, and letting him grab her arm again. It took him less time than before to wake up and find out that it was her. When he did he lifted the covers but she shook her head and started signing her plan for escape in their secret code. When she was done he nodded and signed that they would have to take the others or at least try to. Aren went get Laila and Dane up to tell them the plan and Hannah went to get Kerry, even though she was silently wondering if they could just leave her behind, she was a good fighter though and she didn't like Broodus much. When they had all gathered in the middle Aren signaled for Hannah to tell her plan and again Hannah signed her plan. At the end everyone decided to go, but Kerry was reluctant, Hannah thought of just letting her stay, but knew her life would be miserable if they did. They decided that the escape would be in exactly a week, enough time for Aren to rustle up some wire cutters, food and weapons.
It was a week later, exactly. That night they would escape or at least try to. Hannah lay in bed waiting for midnight, she had a great sense of time, at exactly twelve O six the guard would come to check on them. Their plan was to stop him when he came. That way he wouldn't be able to report them missing later on. The clock in her mind rang twelve and Hannah slipped out of her bed. She already had on her dark black sweater and dark black pants and she had her boots ready to go for after they took out the guard, she liked to fight without shoes, it gave her a sense of freedom. She started toward the door feeling the stiffness in her muscles. They had done underwater training that day and her muscles were slightly sore from lack of oxygen. She refused to let that stop her, she was going to get out of here, tonight! She poked Aren this time drawing her hand away quickly and he woke immediately. They both arranged their pillows to look like people and then they each took a side of the door.
~Click, click, click.~ There were the normal footsteps. She stood ready to spring on the guard as soon as he entered the room. He came in and before Hannah could even move Aren had sprung onto his back and snapped his neck. They dragged him over to Laila's bed and stuffed him under then they woke the rest of them up. Hannah slipped into her boots and they all headed off down the hall with Hannah also carrying a small black bag equipped with enough food for a few nights and some wire cutters, and Aren and Kerry carried small guns. Aren guided them down the silent halls and out a small door that none of them had ever seen before. They made their way carefully toward the woods, that surrounded the place, in pairs. First Hannah and Dane, then Kerry and Laila made it across, but something went wrong. Alarms started going off and before they knew it Aren was fighting Lydecker, no one even knew where he had come from. Kerry joined the fray leaving Laila crying behind a tree. Hannah led Dane over to the tree and left him with Laila turning to the fray just in time to see Kerry get knocked down. Hannah rushed to the fray and flung herself at Lydecker. Lydecker, not expecting that attack, fell backwards and before he could move she kicked him hard in his face. There was a sickening crack as his head flung back and hit the concrete side of the building and then blood was flowing all over the newly fallen snow, turning it a sickening scarlet color. Aren quickly led her and Kerry away from the mess, but Kerry pulled loose and shot Lydecker.
"Kerry he's already dead." Aren told her leading her away yet again. This time Kerry came. They all made their way to the fence, which was surprisingly, close here. Aren had no doubt planned this. Hannah quickly pulled out the wire cutters and Kerry cut a clumsy hole for them to slip out of. They ran for hours dodging the spotlights from the helicopters. It was almost dawn when they outran them. The helicopters turned back, but they pressed on, they finally arrived at a small cabin. Aren crept up to it and found it empty. They all crowded into it and Hannah collapsed onto a small couch, breathing hard and feeling sick. Aren dropped to the floor beside her concerned.
"Han? You ok?" He asked, he had never seen her like that before.
"Yah." She said sitting up and laughing out loud. "We made it!" She giggled. "We made it!" She repeated, but she felt quite light headed.
"Yah but we can't stay here." Kerry shot at her.
"Kerry's right, they'll come looking on foot soon enough." Aren told her.
"Well then we'll have to keep moving." Kerry stated and then Laila jumped in with something they hadn't even thought of.
"Will they be able to organize that well with Lydecker dead?" She spoke in a small wispy voice, but it was enough to get her point across. There was a pause as they all thought and then Laila and Dane got up and wandered off to explore the cabin.
"Well we could risk it, after all Broodus isn't all that good at managing them, we should have a few days of relative safety before we have to get out of here." Hannah argued.
"Well I'm willing to risk it." Aren decided.
"Sure I might as well too." Kerry agreed in what sounded like her normal grudging tone. That's how she always sounded when she talked to Hannah and Hannah had always wondered why Kerry hated her so much.
Dane and Laila had already made their way around the cabin and now they came back to the main room to reveal their finds.
"There's a bathroom over there, and two bedrooms, one there and one there." Dane reported pointing to where each was as he said it.
"There's a computer in that bedroom too." Laila put in. "And a kitchen over there." This time Laila pointed to it and for the first time Hannah noticed a small door just off to the side of the fireplace that the couch was in front of. Lydecker would have killed HER if he knew how unobservant she was being right now. But she really shouldn't be thinking about Lydecker, she told herself, after all he was now dead himself. Hannah stood up and wandered over toward where Laila said the computer was and there was indeed a nice I-mac computer sitting on a dark hardwood desk. She ambled over and turned it on feeling a little faint from all the excitement. She sat down in the office chair quickly not trusting herself standing on her flimsy legs. She waited fairly swooning while the computer booted up and finally she found what she had been looking for, the internet. There was one thing she had always been good at besides running, computer technology. She quickly hacked into this person's account and was soon cruising the web looking for Logan Kayle. Maybe he could help her find her parents.
The computer pulled up two Logan Kayles and she clicked quickly on one of them as Aren came into the room and stood behind her. The computer took a moment to pull up this particular file and when it came up a picture started forming, a picture that was too familiar. A picture of a man with dark hair and dark eyes, a man standing and smiling, and she knew with out a doubt that this was the Logan Kayle she wanted. She let out a quick yelp that was supposed to be of triumph before she fell herself fall out of the chair and then lost consciousness.
She woke up in a bed. The covers were drawn up to her chin and as she sat up slowly they fell back to reveal her small black spaghetti strap top. This particular top showed that she was very well endowed, she had decided it was in the genes. As soon as she was fully up Aren was there.
"Heard you moving." He mumbled as he sat down.
"Need, computer, now, Logan, Seattle." Hannah babbled.
"Lay back down, we shut the computer off. You're fine now. It's gone, whatever it was that was scaring you is gone." Aren tried to comfort her.
"No!" Hannah shouted. "Need the address. Logan." Again she started babbling. Then she took a few deep breaths. "I need Logan Kayle's address. He can help me find my parents and maybe yours."
