3. Indescribable
"Who are you?" The blade was held steadily against his throat, and Alec knew that if he deemed to answer that question, or even breathe for that matter, a thin trickle of blood would soon appear.
Jezza stepped back slowly, taking the knife away, and holding it tightly by her side.
"You came here last night, you helped me. Why?" she demanded.
Alec had just climbed in through her window again, this time she had been awake.
"Well, obviously I'm a transgenic." He said, looking out the window, referring to the fact that he had easily climbed that far.
Jezza shrugged. "Could be a familiar for all I know." She stated, glaring at him.
"Ah, but I helped you," Alec reminded.
"So you're some twisted whack-job then. Some queer ass who gets his jollies from knowing that he can sneak up on a transgenic?" she half asked, half stated.
Alec slowly turned around, and lifted the collar of his black jacket down, exposing his barcode.
He heard her gasp and he quickly turned back around. Her eyes were wide with fear, confusion.and recognition.
"494.I know you." She said quietly, shaking her head incredulously and sitting down on her bed.
Alec bobbed down in front of her, looking deep into her golden-hazel eyes. "Do you remember?" he asked slowly.
She frowned for a second, her perfectly arched eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "I have flashes, of you smiling, laughing, of us.we're happy, and then.there's a baby." She closed her eyes a sighed in frustration.
"This doesn't make any sense! Who are you 494?"
She opened her eyes again, staring at his face questioningly, patiently.
Alec shrugged and sat on the bed beside her.
"I don't know either.but I basically have the same images as you.of you. In it you're always laughing, and I'm happy.and the baby, who is that?" Alec shook his head.
"I know it's got something to do with Manticore, but for now.I'm Alec."
Jezza looked down at her hands. "I've remembered things that Manticore erased from my mind before Alec.it's nothing like this." She said wearily.
"I know.you know Max right?" he asked.
She looked up at him in surprise, and nodded slowly.
"I told her.if anyone knows what to do, it'll be her, we should go see her, she's at crash.I'll let you do the talking." He laughed shakily, everything was happening so fast.but at the same time he still felt rushed.
