A/N: OK, sorry it took awhile to update, and I KNOW it's too short, but I've been so busy with school. Plus, my birthday was on the 18th of Feb, so I had to go buy myself lots of presents :) Anyways, this chapter had to end here, because I think I will reveal some important things in the next chapter :)
Seattle 2021 Sebastian's guest room 3:32 AM
I awake suddenly, springing up from the bed, and searching for the source of the noise that penetrated my sleep. There are an amazing amount of thoughts running through my sleep-clouded mind. How the hell did someone break into Sebastian's place? How will I stop them? And, most importantly, are Logan and Six OK?
As soon as I calm myself down, I realise that my night-time intruder is Logan. I sigh at that thought. How I wish he was here for a different reason. But it he looks worried - he must need my help with something.
"Logan? What's up? I ask, trying not to sound pissed that he woke me up.
"Uh." He pauses, obviously uncomfortable being in my room with our present relationship situation. "I need your help." He eventually gets out.
I smile. "What is it?" I ask.
"Six. She's, well, she's crying, and I thought, well I thought - "
"You thought that if I went to see what's wrong, I might have a better chance of keeping my head where it is than you would, huh?"
Logan smiles in relief. "Yeah. You saw how she reacted last time I tried to help." He says sarcastically.
"OK." I get up out of bed, and follow Logan, presumably to where Six is. I watch him walk, and I can't help smiling. Even though Six rejected his help, he still wants to help her. I sigh. Trust me to find the perfect guy, and then not be able to touch him. Oh well, hopefully that'll be fixed soon. I hope.
Seattle. 2021 Sebastian's lab 3:43 AM
I wipe my eyes hurriedly, telling myself to stop being so stupid. I can look after myself, I don't need parents, or people to love me. All I need is me. If you want something done right, better do it yourself. I've always said that. But right now, I just wish there was someone here, anyone, just to say that they really care about me. Someone who doesn't want anything from me, who just wants to be around me. I guess I'm too young really to be thinking of a boyfriend for this, but I don't know. Parents, friends. I just need someone. I sigh, starting to cry again, all the while my brain is chanting *Weak, child, soldiers don't cry*
I start when I hear the door to the lab opening. Who could be up at this time of night?! I mean, Logan might be, but I don't think he'd want to comfort me after the reaction he got last time. I stare into the darkness, adjusting my night vision. It's Max. She just stands there, looking at me. She looks worried, but (Thankfully) not in a pitying way. She slowly walks forward, as if to ask permission, and sits down next to me on the floor. As soon as she does this, I start to sob loudly - I can't stop. Max just hugs me hard, and holds me.
Seattle 2021 Sebastian's guestroom 4:05 AM
I try not to wake Six as I stand up and pick her up. The poor kid was totally worn out after her crying jag. She cried herself to sleep. I have wondered, since I met Six, how feeling other people's emotions must affect her. I mean, it's gotta be pretty overwhelming, especially for someone her age. I must ask her about that.
I eventually get to Six's room, and I set her down on the bed. I look at her, wondering if she needs to change her clothes before going to bed. She's not wearing any shoes, and the clothes she has on look pretty comfortable, so I put her under the covers and tuck her in. She moans quietly and rolls over onto her stomach. I chuckle as I leave her room. She really is only a kid.
Seattle 2021 Sebastian's lab 10:20 AM
"And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh ooh
and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution."
I sing along to the radio as I place another slide under the microscope. It's been a good morning for me, considering what happened last night. Although I would rather that no-one saw me crying, if someone had to, at least it was Max. I know she understands, and she never pities me - trust me, I could tell if she did.
I continue humming to myself as I look at Max's blood sample. She let me take it earlier this morning when we got up. Logan, on the other hand, is such a lazy bugger - I'll have to wait until he gets up to do his. Although, I have a right mind to sneak into his room and jab a needle in his leg - it's not like he'd feel it anyway. I smile. No, I'd better wait till he gets up. Plus, I have to do some work with Max's blood before I start on Logan's.
I observe the virus in Max's blood. Yep, as I expected. Nasty one, that is. Ah well, I'll soon have it killed. I take a sample of the blood and put it into one of Sebastian's machines. Now I just have to wait about 5 minutes for the computer to print out a copy of Max's DNA. It should be interesting - I've never had the chance to do this with X5 DNA - only my own half-breed stuff.
I pace around the lab while I'm waiting, trying to calm myself down. After last night's performance at the Crash, I don't think I can handle too many more emotions for a couple of days. Sometimes it can really get to me. I sigh. The computer's taking forever to spit out Max's DNA code, so I go to make myself some breakfast while I'm waiting.
