I was listening to enya, a day without rain, when I wrote this. It is actually raining. Actually theres a tornado warning, im writing this inbetween lightning storms, hehe
She sat in the chair staring out the window. Not really looking at anything, just thinking and reflecting. She remembered everything. Everything. The blood, screams, and the death. The foul stench of death that could not be washed off no matter how many showers she took. And she had taken five before O.C. forced her to stop, afraid she would rub off all her skin. Thunder boomed and shook the glass so hard it seemed it would break. Every flash of lightning brought back the image of a face, the horrified screams. She closed her eyes and all she saw was blood. She had been made to be a killer, a warrior with no feelings. Things like this usually did not affect her, but this time, this time she felt the evil. She had felt the moment her heart became stone cold. Now she understood the reality of what she was, what she could have been had she not escaped Manticore. Having understood what is was to be human, and then experiencing what it is to be super human, even more so then she is now. Sometimes she craved it again, and every time she would shudder. Manticore came back to the forefront of her mind. She had been no better when she had become a vampire, then when she was a kid back there.
"Hey Max, I made ya some soup." She turned. Logan was standing there, O.C. next to him. "I see you're almost healed."
"I'm not hungry."
"You really probably should eat."
"Not right now. I'm not hungry."
"Ok. I'll just leave this with Original Cindy." He looked at her, he looked as if he was about to say something, then he turned and handed the container to O.C.
"I'll heat you up some later boo." She walked with Logan out the door, where they began to whisper.
"How's she doing?"
"Not too good. She was goin wack with the shower. I had a hard time getting her to stop."
"I can imagine. If you need anything, just call."
"Don't worry, I will." O.C. walked back and went to the kitchen. "This smells good boo, sure you don't want some?"
"No. You can eat it. Like I said, I'm not hungry."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Hey, can you get my medicine from my room."
"Sure thing boo." She walked to Max's room, and disappeared inside. The walked back out. "Didn't you just......... Max?" She looked around, but Max was nowhere. "Oh no she didn't." She picked up the phone and dialed Logan's cell. "Yo, our girl Max skipped out on us."
Is she really that evil inside? She remembered the killing. She liked it. That's what scared her so much. It felt good. It called to her, it was like an old friend. Lightning flashed, and a boom shook the air. She stopped, and looked down at her reflection in the water at her feet. She had become no better than Lydecker, or anyone else. She was nothing more than a transgenic with no soul.
"Max?" He called out to her frozen figure standing in the middle of the street. She did not move, not even a flinch. The rain poured. "Max!" Her head slowly lifted his direction. Her eyes glared at him like ice. Cold and unfeeling. "Max, what are you doing?" She continued to look at him. He couldn't tell if she was crying or if was just the rain. Her eyes communicated something, trying to tell him....... She turned and began to walk away. "Max! MAX!!" She didn't respond, she just kept on walking away. He threw off his seat belt and bolted out of the car. He reached out and touched her arm. "Max?" He was breathing slightly hard. She stopped, but did not move. "Max, what's wrong?" For the first time she spoke, without turning.
"I can't do this."
"Do what?"
"Pretend like nothing happened."
"No one asked you too."
"But I wanted to. I needed to. I can't forget. Not even when I close my eyes can I forget." She turned and faced him. The pain became evident, the torture shown in her dark eyes. "I cant be here anymore." Tears had fallen, mixing with the rain. She turned again and walked away.
"Where are you going? When are you coming back?" He kept pace behind her.
"I'm going to infinity." She kept walking, and he stopped and watched her disappear into the rain.
So, what di you like best bout it, or did you hate it? Really, tell me the truth.
