Chapter 2
I make my way down town to an apartment. I know the door man. I have talked to him before about renting an apartment. He said he would only charge me $50 a month. I walk in the door and see him there looking very bored.
"Hey Bruce. I'm going to move into my apartment today." I say as I hand him $50.
"Great. Here is your key. Your on floor 12 room 614. And the wifi password is batman4638."
"Ok thanks" I say as I make my way to the elevator. I hit floor 12. What is with batman. Big deal, he stops crime. No one should care. He is a pathetic grown man in a bat costume. Doesn't matter. When I reach floor 12, I start looking for room 614. I'm shaking inside. Im so excited to finally have a place of my own. I finally find my room. For a second Idon't wanna open it because I'm so nervous. I finally actually open it. I almost shriek.
It's not bad for fanciness. I step in and shut the door behind me. I set my things down and check everything out.
The kitchen is small but great. It has a fridge, a microwave, and an oven already.
In the living room, there is already a couch, a bookshelf, a big desk, and a flatscreen tv with a TV stand.
The dinning room already has a table and 6 matching chairs.
The bedroom has a nice queen sized bed, 2 night stands, 2 lamps, and a small walk in closet.
The bathroom, is just the bathroom. Nothing special about it even though it looks a little fancy.
I go back to my things and unpack. I hook my new iPad and laptop to wifi and put them on the desk. Next, I put my books on the bookshelf. Then, I take my clothes and hang them up in the small walk in closet in my room. It's great that there are hangers there for me already. Once that's done, I go out the food away in the fridge that I got from the cafeteria. I unpack the rest of my things. Then I change out of my uniform to my black t shirt, cargo pants, put on my knife thrower jacket, attach my dagger, tomahawk, gun and Kukri to my belt specialized to carry weapons on, put my arrows on my back, grab my bow, and I'm out the door.
I go to the forest to practice with my weapons for a while. It's a 2 minute walk. Once I'm at my area that I normally practice, I start with my bow and arrows. I had a rope that I tied around different trees until I got a big enclosed space and spray painted targets on the trees and that is my practice area. I got mostly bull eyes. After doing that for a while, I start throwing knives. They are my favourite. As I keep doing that I keep thinking I'm hearing someone walking, but no one ever comes back here. As I keep hearing it, I keep looking around, until it gets to the point where it feels like someone has entered my target practice area.
I whip around quick with a knife in my hand ready to throw it. It's so scary who I see. A big burly man in cargo pants, a cargo jacket, and a strange mask. I have seen this before. His name is Bane. Said to be the deadliest man alive. I'm shaking and sweating so much now. I'm going to die I know it. I pull out my gun in my other hand but keep it to my side. I don't scream. I'm to scared to. We just stand there staring at each other. I don't know what to say, so I just say his name.
"Bane." I say I a shaky voice.
"Hello, young one." He says. He starts walking over to me until he's only 2 metres away from me.
"I have been watching you with the weapons. Infact, I've been watching you all day. Stealing things from your school, escaping, getting your own place. I know you are very smart, tough, and strong. I want you to be my partner." I'm frozen. Did he just ask me that? I don't think I should. Who knows what shit I will get myself into. I can't say no, he will snap my neck in a second.
"Ya sure." I say.
"Great, come with me." He starts walking.
"Where are we going?" I ask. He turns around and looks at me.
"To get caught." He says and turns around and continues walking. I get my weapons together and follow. As we leave the forest, I have my tomahawk in one of my hands, just in case. I still follow behind him. He leads me to a normal car with 2 men in the front seats. That means, I have to sit beside BANE! The scariest and most deadly people in the world. He opens the car door and motions for me to get in. I'm so scared but I get in anyways. He slams the door shut and gets in on the other side.
"Ok men, this is our new ally." Says Bane. They just turn around and look at me and then turn back around. The one guy starts the car and starts to drive.
"What's your name?" He asks.
"Gladious." I say with no emotion.n
"Ahh, like the gladious sword. Speaking of swords, your good with weapons. What weapons are you good with?" Asks Bane.
"Umm, well, I can throw knives, shoot arrows with great accuracy, throw tomahawks, I know some tricks with a dagger, and I have a Kukri and a hand gun." I say.
"Very good. Just what we want. We will be teaching you how to use some bigger guns and things like that alright."
"Ok. Sounds good." I say back. We continue to drive in silence. I'm still wondering where we are going. Am I going to die? Will I get a weird ass mask like Bane? Will I ever return to my new apartment? I'm so scared right now. We drive for about 10 minutes until we drive into a cave out in the middle of nowhere. It feels like we are going down. We are. It it pitch black except for the fact that the headlights are on. We soon come to a stop. Lights come on from the ceiling. We are in an under ground parking lot. Bane and his men get out of the car so I do the same. They walk into more darkness and I follow. It's not dark for long until we are in a room with a big plane in the middle and lots of control panels around it.
I just stand there. I have no idea what to do. Bane goes over to the control panels and presses a few buttons. A few seconds later, the plane door opens. Bane's men walk in and then he motions for me to walk in. So I do.
Then he comes in and shuts the door. There are about 10 other men that were already on the plane before we came. 2 men go to the cockpit of the plane. I feel it start up a few minutes later. What a bunch of morons trying to fly a plane underground. Just then, I feel like the ground is... rising. Then, some light starts pouring into the underground room. We rise more until we come to a stop. I look out the window and we are outside in the middle of fricken no where. But it looks like a runway out front. I feel the plane start moving and I watch outside as we go faster and faster until we are off the ground. Wow. What have I gotten myself into. I sit in the seat of the plane.
Bane comes up to me and hands me a plain black bandana.
"Here, tie this around your mouth and nose, so no one can see your face, or at least, half your face." I silently take the bandana and tie it around my nose and mouth.
"Good." He says. Oh no, if he makes me wear this, will I have to wear a dumb mask like he does?! Maybe not.
"Ok, so here is what we are doing, we are going to a military base in Florida, we re going to break in and kill as many people as possible, Let them catch us, and they will fly us to somewhere in Illinois in a maximum security prison full of torture, but, we will have this plane above the one we will be flying in, and we will crash it. We want to kill the boss of that military base and he will be on that plane." I feel my evil side taking over. That sound really fun. I'll feel great killing them, I know it. Bane isn't so scary now. I guess I can trust him. I'll just be a little carful anyways because I still don't know him to well.
"Ok sounds great." I say. "But what if I get shot?" I ask.
"Trust me, they won't shoot and kill a 14 year old girl." I go back to looking out the window until we get there. I'm so nervous, and excited. It takes us about 4 more hours. All I think about is me using my weapons on them. I'm such a demon. When we finally land. I feel like I could puke. Bane and 4 off his men get up and start heading out so I do the same. "This is it Gladious." Says Bane.
