'Who is Keyser Soze?' God I love that movie. Anyway, sorry for not updating, I've been very busy. I understand that this chapter is a bit confusing and I'm sorry about that. I wrote it early this morning, about one to be precise, instead of getting my homework done. Thank you guys for all the wonderful reviews! Also, thanks for sticking with my story, even though some chapters were on the sucky side!
The machine was done. It was a simple fact. It wasn't like any of them had expected it to be, not even like Number 1 had expected it and he had the blueprints. It was almost like a virtual reality game except they would really be inside Number 4's mind; hooked up to a main computer and component- mainly Number 4 himself- then three other links that ran away from it hooked to helmets with visors in them.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Number 3 asked, breaking the silence that had been bestowed on them.
"It should." Number 1 said, stepping forward to the machine, glancing at it as if to challenge it not to work for them. "We followed the blueprints exactly like they said. It's worth a try."
"So, who's going to stay out here to watch the machine and who's going in?" Number 5 asked, looking at the machine in front of her.
"I'll stay here!" Number 2 told them, already making himself at home in the chair in front of the computer. He knew Number 1 would want to go. He also knew that Number 5 would want to follow him and he also knew about Number 3 and how much she wanted to go. Out of all of them, he wanted her to go the most. In this mission, he would do the most good on the outside, helping but mostly watching in and he found he could live with that. "You three go. Plus, I don't think a helmet would fit my head."
"We can talk through headsets!" Number 1 said, handing one out to each of the kids in question. "They should work inside."
"This is going to be cool!" Number 5 said, placing her headgear on her head. "This is almost like virtual reality game only were goin' inside ya head!" She said aloud to Number 4, reaching out her long fingers to ruffle his bangs.
"When we are inside his head, we will only have about three hours to get in then get out or else his mind might be destroyed."
"You're serious?" Number 3's eyes were large as tea cup saucers, her mouth set in an oval. "We're traveling through memories and thoughts and dreams. And we only have three hours?" She asked, somewhat frightened.
"We're not exactly sure but we want to make sure that we don't damage his mind. Number 2 and I added up the exact time and it makes out to be about three hours. Heck, for all we know it could be nine to twelve hours. But to be on the safe side, were going to say three hours to be safe."
Number 3 walked over to the table they had laid Number 4 on. Despite the monitors they had placed on his forehead, along with the side of his head, he looked like a normal sleeping boy. His eyes were closed, his long eyelashes resting against the swells of his pale cheek bones. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. "On my word, I promise I will wake you up!" She vowed before bending down to kiss his cheek. "I promise because I love you." She then moved back to the others and placed on her head gear, the only way they were going to be able to communicate with Number 2.
"Kids Next Door, get ready for the mission!" Number 1 said, placing on his helmet. The two girls followed suit, placing the helmets on their heads. They then sat down in the cots that were specially designed for them to sit in during the duration of the mission.
Number 2 immediately began to type on the computer, his fingers doing a dance on the plastic keys. "Okay. In five seconds we will be online. Good luck you guys. I'm with you every step of the way." He announced. "Five, four, three, two…" Number's 1 and 5 looked over at each other and smiled, their hands reaching out to grasp one another. Number 3 took a deep breath, looking over at Number 4 one last time, a smile lighting her features. It was going to be alright….. "One." Number 2's voice was loud and clear in her head and then there was total darkness.
The surroundings changed going from the laboratory they were currently in, colors whirling and swirling around them. It was strange, almost like going through a giant vertigo. And then, as quickly as it happened, it was done. They were now inside of Number 4's mind…… and what a scary place it was.
