Title:
The Mind is a Dangerous Place
Chapter 4: Trapped
Aprils POV:
Darkness…blissful darkness. It was the only time I could strengthen myself, fight back against the implant.
But they don't know that.
Deep within my mind, were nobody bothers to look. Where old memories, and things that to others would seem unimportant are located. But to me, they are everything.
They are my existence, as well as what keeps me going. What keeps me going is that precious thought of Hope. Hope that one day I can brake free.
My true name is here too. April Oliver. It has been so long since I've heard my true name being spoken.
No one says my name out loud, and if they do, it's when I'm unconscious or trapped within my mind.
Suddenly I felt movement, my wheelchair was moving. Wherever I was being taken, we were there.
They always took me somewhere. Never in the same place twice though. Either it's for 'exercises' or other terrible places that are too fresh within my mind to tell.
As I was trapped within my mind, to make matters worse I could not speak or see. But I could hear and feel, and I wish I couldn't.
I felt someone pull up my sleep to cover my shoulder.
"Good then, I hope someone saw those numbers." I thought to myself.
Suddenly I felt a hand on my knee and began to stroke it, and with a sickening feeling at the pit of my stomach I knew it was Dr. Grey.
Dr. Grey was one of them, and he had been with her since her nightmare began. But he had also taken advantage of my state of being trapped within my mind.
Always touching me and giving me kisses, when all I wanted to do was pluck his eye balls out and just plainly to make him go through what I went through.
But I could not…I could not even show an ounce of disgust on my face. I heard him chuckle, and that made my blood boil with anger.
Anger, if reached to the limit, is my only source of actually gaining some control over me. But it had to be small, nothing like a good kick in the groin or something like that.
I heard him move over me and a flicker of fear spread over me as I thought he was going to kiss me. He had done so before and it had always revolted me.
But I heard other voices and knew that we were someplace very busy. So that thought was soon gone.
"This is it you know. No more resistance from you. After this…your purpose will be fulfilled." I heard Dr. Grey whisper in my ear.
That did it. The damn purpose again, the purpose of all my suffering. And that made my anger pass the limit.
I collected enough saliva and spit it out. I knew he was leaning over me and I knew my spit found its mark when I heard the splat.
"Take that you asshole!" I thought.
"Charming, does this mean you're fighting back against your mind lock? You know what happens where you do." He spoke out.
If my face could have gotten any more paler I would have looked transparent.
"Oh please no. Not that."
I suddenly felt him strap my legs down to the wheelchair as well as my wrists.
"NO!"
I felt him lean forward again. I soon felt his breath breathe next to my ear.
"Dolphin, bat, whale, wave, micro, Lock." He whispered into my ear.
That was it, the combination lock that would send electric shivers all over my body until I have no choice but to shrink back into the inner, darkest parts of my mind.
After that I will have no senses what so ever. No feeling or hearing. I will become an empty shell until Dr. Grey will unlock me.
At least there was one good thing about all of this. When I was in this state, my foul mouth side took over. Basically my anger side.
So if Dr. Grey tried anything on me, my subconscious will send him a nice list of insults directly to his own mind.
I wasn't physic, but the other half of my mind can project images to someone else's mind.
As I felt the pain I crawled back into the darkest parts of mind. I curled up and prayed to god that something will happen. Something that can only be done by him, something that could save me from my fate.
This Fate of doing unthinkable and unimaginable things…without even realizing that I'm doing them.
I just hope it will be before the "purpose" begins…
Later…
I figured around three hours had passed since I was literally 'shut down'.
I was getting a little edgy and I knew the reason. I always got that way when there was an interference with waves in the air.
You know those Ion Waves above? Well I can read them. If I wanted to I could even disrupt them.
That was the reason why they wanted me, for their own purposes, and I was that purpose.
I just about had enough of waiting when suddenly I felt like I was being electrocuted. Pain struck through my spine directly going up into my brain.
Like in reverse my mind replayed what had just happed.
Someone next to be had been talking to me, saying hello and then stating his name.
His name was Locke. I had to laugh within my mind. What a coincidence that to unlock myself is this mans name, which sounds like he is unlocking me.
I was free…I felt myself regaining my senses and soon after complete control over my body. And that's when I felt arms wrapped around me.
I blinked. I couldn't control myself from shaking, it's just natural. Even if I was in control of my body, it usually didn't go with my mind.
In my mind I was calm, but when I was once again in control of my body, I had to also control my strong feelings of confusion at where I was. As well as controlling my fear.
When I was sure that I had controlled myself I looked around and with fear gripping my stomach I knew that we were on a plane.
Taking a glance around me, I did not see Dr. Grey anywhere.
"He probably went to get the suitcase. I must warn someone!"
I immediately turned towards the owner of the arms that had been wrapped around me but where now moving away.
It was an older man, kinda bald, but with a nice face. A face of someone you could trust. And that's what I needed right now, someone I could trust with information that I must tell before Dr. Grey came back.
"We are in danger Mr. Locke. We have to turn this plane around." I rushed out to him.
He gave me a black stare and soon after confusion.
Suddenly the plane lurched and I had to grip the arm rest.
"This is not Dr. Grey's doing. This is something else, but something…familiar." I stated to myself.
Mr. Lock began to speak again, but I cut him off. "No time…any time; must turn around…before it's too…"
But suddenly I felt it. My brain felt like it had just got wired. I felt electric shocks run through my spine once again, but this time it was different.
It wan than that I heard it, or more like saw it. My eyes clouded over and I could no longer see Mr. Locke.
But I saw something quite different. Faster than the ordinary human eye could catch, I watched as numbers flashed through my mind.
With dread I read these numbers and knew that they were the same numbers that were marked on my shoulder.
The feeling of speaking them out loud was too great, and I gave in. At first I just spoke them out softly, but then the pain grew. And I had no choice but to yell them out.
I felt the plane tremble and I felt someone place something over my mouth. I breathed in pure oxygen, and got a little dizzy. It must have been Lock, and I thank him for that.
I had completely yelled them out when I heard the terrifying voice of Dr. Grey call out the ultimate locking.
"FOX…WAVE…SONIC…" Even though he did not finish the lock down of my mind, it was enough to send me into a fit of seizures and unbearable pain.
White hot pain exploded within my mind as I completely went off to oblivion. I didn't get the chance to enter the corners of mind.
If I could scream I would. But I couldn't. I was gone…I don't know for how long…but I was gone…
