The secret revealed about Alice made the group cautious, the week went by fast. Not even Alice knew what she was or is, the situation is that she felt frightened at times.
Alice stood next to her father, he had failure on his face, he didn't want her daughter here. "Honey, I'm sorry but you have to go here. See your friend Citrine is here too!"
Citrine waves at her from the other side of the hallway, as she approached them in her white and blue outfit, other children near had matching hair and eyes, it made Alice confused.
"Why do I have to go here?" Alice wines, something inside her wishes closer to this place, as if it was some sort of Sanctuary.
"My boss wants to run some tests with you. I can't protect you like they can here. There are bad people out there that want to kill me, honey. I'm really sorry, I hope you forgive me" her father said solemnly, his eyes full of regret. He failed in trying to protect his baby girl from the evils of the universe and world.
"Why, him? There are tons of people here-Daddyy he scares me" she begs for her father to turn around and leave this place. Citrine smacks her forehead at her friend's stupidity, can't she figure out that she's 'safer' here?
"Come on, we gotta go!" Citrine tries to pull on her friend's jacket sleeve, gaining nothing but a grunt from her friend. "No, I want to stay with Daddy!"
"Alice, you have to. I just need to sign rights over to him" Dr. Vergil Samarah walks away from his daughter and heads straight to the office, he is immediately greeted with the man he hates will all of his heart and soul.
"I only agree to this if my daughter's safety from the ones that are after me, her mother, and them. I do hope that you will care for her and make sure she is happy, or I will find you and you will regret everything. In this life or the next, whether I'm dead or alive, I swear" Dr. Vergil Samarah insisted, whilst taking the datapad from , the man's arrogant cocky nature will be the end of him one day.
Dr. Yuriev smirks at the younger doctor, his eyes narrow in cocky superiority. "I assumed that you would have bargains, the malady of what she may have. Now if you don't mind, sign already. I have better things to do than bicker with a wanted man like you, now do I?" he dictated him, ignoring the glaring man who wanted to rip his being into several pieces.
"Only if you agree to what I said, damn it! That's the only condition! WIthout it...what's the point?" Vergil groaned, feeling his voice crack under the pressure of his fiendish wish to kill this man.
"Fine, I shall agree to your conditions then you will leave the premises immediately after"
Dr. Vergil Samarah lets out a meek sigh and signs the datapad, feeling his heart darken at the thought of losing his daughter to this man tested on, he knows one day that this child will end up either dying or becoming one of his weak slaves that will attempt to do his desires of becoming god, as the documents he read stated. He left the room and not a word he said to his daughter, he left the premises as he stated.
Alice heads in the room shyly, feeling her own safety threatened. The feeling is like being around her mother.
"Take a seat, child" he told her in a bossy way.
Citrine shuts the door, waiting outside for her friend before realizing she has to head elsewhere.
Alice takes a seat in the large chair, she avoids eye contact with him unable to muster courage to say anything. "Why am I here?" she finally spoke.
He raises an eyebrow at her. "Child, your father has put me as your caretaker, from now on you are going to undergo several tests to underline what is causing those anomalies. Do you want them fixed?"
She nods her head slowly, beginning to believe him slowly. She feels that everybody will like her better if her powers are gone. "Yes, s-sir"
He smirks knowing that she is easy to control and calm down, he knew he would he get her here and then test on her, after all her powers are what he wants. "You will be staying here from now on, everything you had won't here. You will be given new clothing that you must wear everyday. You have strict rules to obey by here, Do you understand me?"
She nods her head once again, feeling a blush cross her little cheeks. "Are you a good guy, my daddy told me to not talk to strangers and good guys are trusted" she says shyly, feeling her blush darken. She kicks her white sock and small bow boots back and forth in the chair whilst tugging on her lilac purple dress.
"I am a good guy, so trust me. You'll be safe here" he says casually.
He glances at the clock, the bright blue words read 5:32pm. It was getting late and his dinner was due soon, hopefully his secretary will bring him something actually delicious this time.
"Okay sir, if you're a good guy. I'll help you, after all my daddy says that if I trust them, then my powers would work!" she cheers, not realizing that she was not supposed to talk about her powers to anyone.
"Can I-I see Citrine, sir?" she asks sheepishly, her cheeks flush scarlet under his scrutinizing gaze. He scrolls down his datapad before finally finding what he was looking for. "You could, perhaps, only if you will help me with unlocking your true potential child"
She inclines her head feeling her eyelids heavy with grief, this is her las day she would have ever seen her father and it made her cry.
