I'm so happy with the way the last chapter turned out and I've
decided to renew my promise of updating daily thanks to Priscilla...who
reminded me lolz...
"Wait until you get baby kittens that aren't unconscious" said Ashley, undisturbed by Tennyo's remark about the mouse she had to kill. Ashley was one of the newer "students" at Henry Park and therefore had not completely shut herself up from the rest of the world yet. Ashley was the only one Tennyo had really heard talk outside class and so Tennyo wasted no time in starting a conversation with her. There was a strange division of sexes for she had not seen one male the whole day/ Ashley had already explained that the males that were caught were put into a different compound, believed to be the one behind the field at the back of the building.
"Why do they make us kill the animals anyways? There must be more efficient ways to slaughter them." Tennyo remarked. She already had a theory but she desperately needed to test how intellectual the people were around her. So far, Ashley seemed quite observant and knew tons of valuable information. However, there was a minor flaw to her otherwise perfect intellect. She loved to talk and couldn't resist showing off.
"Oh...they just want to get us adapted to killing of course. I'm guessing soon enough they'll give us animals in peak condition that will make us run after them. It builds up our killer instinct." Tennyo agreed. She had also thought of this and now was pretty assured of her suspicions.
"I don't know that much about this place", Ashley continued with false modesty. "-but wait until you meet Alyssa. She's away on her first assignment right now. Oh dear...I'm not supposed to know that" She seemed flustered with her slip-up. Tennyo assured her that she would not let on that she had told and Ashley continued happily. "You know... They say the first assignment changes people but I don't believe that. Alyssa can never change." It seemed as if she was more reassuring herself than Tennyo.
"Truth to be told, I don't even know why I haven't been assigned yet. They say I'm late or something or that I have a major flaw. I don't see any major flaws in me, though. Do you?" When Tennyo didn't answer she continued yet again. "Not that I'm disappointed. I heard horrible things about assignments.
Just then the bell rang signalling the beginning of the next class. Sparring had taken a great deal of time and Tennyo's bruises were still sore. Knowing better than to show all of her abilities, she had held back and acted as if she knew nothing. Then to try to tease her into show her skills, Coach Quagmire had set her against the whole class. Needless to say, she became a human punching bag.
Tennyo made her way down the hall to strategy class, hoping for a less violent lesson. She sincerely hoped for a slightly more civilized teacher but knew that it wasn't likely. She turned another corner and entered the designated room. There she was surprised. The teacher, Ms. Cole, as she addressed herself seemed to be genuinely friendly. She welcomed Tennyo into her class with a slight Japanese accent.
Tennyo like her at first sight, but knew better than to trust anyone.
"Today we will be reading an essay that I have composed for you. Tomorrow you will be tested on the information that you received. There are some questions on the back of the sheets." Ms. Cole said softly. "All your pencils have already been checked and sharpened." At that moment a small drawer slid open from the side of the desk containing a pencil, a ruler, and an eraser. "Please start your tests now" Tennyo looked around to see everyone scanning their tests with surprised eyes.
Tennyo looked around for her tests only to find it in a small slit at the front of her desk. 'What is with these people with slits and drawers?' she thought to herself while half heartedly reading the paper before her. She had no intention of trying to do well on this test at all but as she read it her eyebrows shot up in spite of herself. It read:
"I can help you", said the teacher to the pets lab rats. "I can help you escape from this terrible place where they are using you. Next month Dr. Bob is looking for some nice lab rats to be part of his assignment. At Dr. Bob's lab, I have a friend who ahs set up a passage for you to escape in. The only problem is that Dr. Bob will only want 2 lab rats. He will choose the two fittest; one male and one female rat. After that those two must go out and find away to free the rest of you. Do you understand me?"-
The rest of the paper was rubbish and just about how the rats would escape but Tennyo got the message trying to be passed. Tennyo already noticed that from the form training they were being sent to assassinate others or at least make mass killings. Supposedly a client powerful client called Bob would choose the two fittest from both camps. It would be the survival of the fittest.
Suddenly Tennyo felt the eyes of quite a few people on her. They were thinking about each other as if calculating who would most likely be picked by Dr. Bob. Tennyo was wary though. She wasn't sure about Ms. Cole. Would she ever know who to trust? Tennyo scanned down the page for a few more clues. Finally she found something interesting:
The teacher said that she would be going to meet her friend at doctor bob's place in 3 days. The teacher also told the Rats that she had alerted the other rats in the other lab about the same thing. She promised she would be back and then she left the lab.
Tennyo sighed; she was sick and tired of being so cautious but she already knew that there wouldn't be much chance for her is she didn't take these precautions. Slowly her thought wandered back to Kie. She knew he probably wasn't the one who betrayed her and that he was in the boys' compound probably learning the same classes. Kie would also know about Dr. Bob and the chance to escape.
Deep down she felt a pang of longing in her heart. Somewhere along the way, she had really started to like Kie. He had made her feel safe. Now that feeling was gone and replaced with utter and horrible fear.
