YO PEOPLE!
One review? That's sorta sad, and I mean Rach Molly and all my friends REVIEW DARNIT don't you want a callout *sobs* FINE!
CALLOUT! Haha (no not plural *sadness*)
Kal Torak – that's funny cause the main character in a way IS me so yeah, and I really WOULD like to punch Andrew that would be nice, and yeah everyone in my highschool that's mentioned does go there…
And just to explain a bit, in my old version I don't do acupuncture until later but after seeing the movie a lot I decided, yeah that was important enough to have as soon as I 'wake up' so the scene with Mouse watching me while I sleep was threated to be cut, but I couldn't do that so it's not really explained WHY I have no clothes but DEAL OKAY
And ive been in a sarcastic mood so Ara and Flame are pretty sarcastic lol…
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Slowly I woke up, and slowly I opened my eyes. The light seemed to be blaring, impossible to look at. Then I saw the needles.
"Jesus Christ!" I said giving a slight jerk, "get those out!" Acupuncture always made me queasy, but on me, ew.
"Shh, don't move, and I can't take them out," said a voice, Flames voice.
"The light, it hurts…" I said shutting my eyes and wishing I could raise my arm to shield my eyes.
"We have to strengthen them, as are the needles meant to strengthen your muscles." My muscles are fine, what do they need strengthening for, and where the hell was I?
"What? Where…" but Flame cut me off.
"Shh, sleep it'll all be explained I swear."
I small groan of discomfort escaped my lips as I began to wake up. My head hurt, I was sore all over, cold, and whatever I was sleeping on wasn't to comfy either.
"About time you woke up," said a voice behind me. Ears, eyes, and all other senses were all now very awake. It wasn't a dream, this was reality.
I rolled over, and noticed I didn't have clothes on, oh crap. There was Mouse; I let a small squeal/scream come from my mouth as I pulled up the covers higher.
"MOUSE GET OUT!" I yelled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?"
"Waiting for you to get up," he said very amused.
"I'M NOT WEARING ANYTHING, JESUS!" he laughed to himself, I seethed.
"Flame said it would be best if you put them on. She didn't let me anywhere NEAR you until you were securely under the blankets, I didn't see-much." I growled, "but what I did was lovely," he ended brightly. Perv, I thought to myself, there is perv in my room and I am stuck without clothes in a bed…how do I make the best of this situation? I swallowed my anger, for the time being.
"Come here Mouse," I said quietly, trying sound deceptively sweet. Mouse gave me a grin; I tried to give the same. Stupid bloke, I thought. He got off the floor and kneeled by my bed, he leaned his head over mine.
"Yeah…?" he said softly. A sickening SMACK shattered the silence. The look of utter shock on Mouse's face made it all worth it.
"Oww…" he said touching his cheek gingerly.
"Remember that next time you sit next to a sleeping girl, especially if they aren't wearing anything. Now go get Flame, tell her I'm up." He grumbled to himself about how he wasn't a slave, or at least not that kind and no he wasn't going to try anything, well maybe not as he left.
I let out a chuckle as he shut the door. Whoa, was all I could think, first thing that entered my mind, where am I? Shortly followed by, what time is it? And third, when are we eating? I quickly got my clothes on and wondered if that was Flame's idea of a joke, she's got a strange sense of humor might I add.
Then I put my hand on my head, WHOA! Not hair? Ahh! Where's all that long brown hair!?! No eyebrows? Ek, sorry if I sounded preppy but my beautiful hair! I loved my hair, and right there I swore that I would grow out my hair as long as I could. I did too. I wondered if that was some strange idea of a joke, shaving all my hair off, but that's just cruel.
Everywhere I had plugs, metal plugs; I assume they were to cover the holes I had had on my body. The back of my head, where that machine thing ripped out that plug, ripped out the cord. It was by far the biggest of them all, weird.
Weird clothes too, much like what I assumed was my room. Everything was metal, the walls were huge metal sheets, the beams were metal and outside the sheets, I assume keeping the ceiling up. My bed was in the corner and a built in dresser type thing in the other, a net bag looking thing was hanging above my bed. There were extra clothes in there.
I guessed if I knew where I was I would better understand ripped sweaters, black faded pants and buckle boots. Weren't they all just wearing clothes that would have cost a fortune?
Flame opened the door. Yeah, she was wearing a grimy sweater, far cry from shiny vinyl.
"Was that some kind of joke?" I said as she gave me a strange look. "Having Mouse staring at me?" Flame laughed, I crossed my arms.
"Course not; he was all we could spare; besides he wouldn't try anything I swear." I decided to let it slip, because I wanted to know where I was.
"Fine, where am I? What time is it?" and I decided to not ask the third question, had a funny feeling it didn't fit very well with the rest. I also wanted to ask where all my hair went, but I decided that really didn't fit either.
"Ask what year it is and maybe you'll start getting to the point of things." She said obviously not at all threatened by a fifteen-year-old who was very angry about not having her hair.
"Fine what year is it?" I said sitting back down on the bed, standing to long made m dizzy.
"Somewhere around 2189," I fell off the mattress.
"What did you just say, guess my hearing went with my eyesight," I slowly picked myself off the floor and sat back on my mattress.
"2189, yes you heard right, it'll all be explained, be patient."
"I've been patient," I said firmly, "and now I have no hair, I was just sitting in a bowl of jell-o, a machine nearly killed me, I'm in a weird place with people I hardly know, now your saying it's the year 2189, yeah this happens everyday."
"You're not ready, you must rest," she said coolly walking back to the door.
"I'm not tired, and will I have some guy staring at me every time I sleep from now on?" I said standing back up, Flame turned.
"Fine, come with me but I can't tell you everything," she opened the door. "Welcome to the Prometheus."
"The what?" I whispered stepping out of my room into another room. I had the uneasy feeling that we were moving. Metal floors, metal walls, wires running everywhere; most to a huge pillar where near it was a chair. This chair had about half a dozen keyboards, and maybe a dozen screens. Most were blank but three weren't, those three had green flashing on them.
Like rain, I wanted too look at it, to stare to see what it truly was but Flame stopped me, she tapped my shoulder. Edrahil seemed to watching those screens intently, he knew what it meant, I wanted to know. The wires led to a dozen chairs, the where arranged in a semi circle.
"Here meet the rest of the crew," said Flame bursting my thought bubble. I snapped my head back in her direction. Standing there was Switch, Nephilim and a woman. She had long black hair pulled back in some sort of messy bun. She had darkish skin and a few black tattoos on her skin. She was like a black beauty beside the white of Jade, but what made her really different, I noticed, she didn't have plugs like me and everyone else on the ship.
"You met Switch and Nephilim, this is Destiny, she's our operator," she said it like I knew exactly what she was talking about, an operator? "Over at the operators chair is Edrahil," he waved, "I bet Mouse and Loki are up to some trouble somewhere. Apollos is in the cockpit."
"The cockpit…" I asked, maybe I was on a ship.
"Oh forgot to mention, you're on a giant hovercraft, flying through giant old sewer systems." Flame smiled, I just sorta stared.
"That's great!" I said trying to get a bearing on myself, well interesting way to tell me…
