Alone…all alone no one to save me, well maybe……..just maybe Brin or even Logan. Oh god Logan…his blue eyes. I remember when every time he looked at me his blue eyes saw my soul. Max stop this! Stop this now! You have to focus…focus on surviving focus on escaping this hellhole. I kept on telling my self to focus. But I can't not with all these drugs in me, all they care about is if I have any information about my family or trying to reprogram me. They don't even care if I'm half dead. Focus max come on find the guards weakness were they slip up then you'll have your time with Logan.

I heard Brin talking to the guard.

"Has she been watching you?"

"No"

"Food….is she eating anything?

"Um.."

"Answer me!"

"She ate some bread yesterday"

"Then it's settled she needs to be force fed"

"Are you here for her reprogramming ?"

"Of course once my sister comes over to our side everything will be better"

Footsteps came closer to the metal door. Oh god Brin. Why did you have to go over to there side ? You could be free from them live your life. Now I have to convince her.

"Get up X5…Max"

"So you do have some humanity left in ya don't you"

"Max your are to resume reprogramming in room b12"

"What am I? A computer?"

"you are now"

"Brin! Come on! We both know you were happier then…in the real world, help me escape we can leave manticore! We can have a life. I know somewhere in you, you want to be free!"

"You're lying, your are trying to send me to Lydecker. Why can't you just accept that your are here and regain everybody's trust and live in here then you can go out on missions…..Then you can have some freedom, but you'll have to comeback and you'll want to. Max accept it your not going anywhere but the reprogramming room.

"Come on lets go"

I entered a familiar room. Memories flooded my mind.

"Trust only your siblings"

the flashes of my family came. Lydeckers face stern and emotionless like a stone. But back to the present Max. The set me up to a chair that was cold and metal. Actually it was freezing. Did they do that purposely to annoy me? Then came the she-devil. Renfro.

"Enjoying your stay I see"

"I think hell is better then this"

"Oh that's one thing your right about"

"So cheery aren't' we?"

" Well yes now I have what I want I just need to get what I want"

"Highly impossible"

"We'll see"

Then it hit me…I know what to do. Just follow through on the plan and you'll get what you need freedom. I knew what I had to do…

Hope you liked chapter one!

Trust. One of Manicores key issues is trusting there lil' soldiers. Now all I have to do is act like I want in again. Though it will be hard…just rememmber Logan, oh logan how I miss so. Latley I been fanisizing about him. My dreams my hopes just take me back home again, it's likea dream world. Then I'm rudley awakend and realize your not in a dreamworld maxie, in your in hell. I have to fucus focus escapeing. That's all that mattets

They put a contraption near my eyes so I couldn't blink. Then they put on the restraints, they werent' like the restraints in the bed I was in after surgery they were freezing like the chair it made my hands go numb. Then she sopke. The nasty little she devil.

"Feel that in your hands?"

"What are you talking about? There numb."

"Exactly, are you feeling the numbess all over your body?"

"What is this somekind of torture?"

"Hardly, that numbness is a symbol of something you should never ever have again. Emotion."

"Gee your just a perky one aren't you"

"You now max you'll have to give in eventually."

"I'd rather die"

"that can be arranged, Brin set up the screen and start the reprogramming"

It weird because at first brin just hesitated she had a sollum expression on her face.

Like she didn't' want to. But that only lasted for what a mere 5 seconds.

"How long should I set this for? A full day or not? "

"Um…Lets give her a chance to willingly come with us say about hmm.….10 hours"

Then that look came back on Brin's face, like she new my pain she new how scared I was, she wanted to get me out to save me to help. But then that look quickly again went away. She quickly set up the machine and left with out looking back. My own sister. I know she didn't' want to do this, but why did she? Why is she so afraid of Renfro, she could kill her in a second. Then the words flashed.

Displicine

Obiedence

Respect

Over and over again. I tried to think of something like Orgianal Cindy cracking a joke, but I couldn't'. It wasn't' the words flashing over and over again it was the thought of my sisters betrayl. How could she? How could she be on there side? I had already answered these questions before. But still now I'm answering them again.
