Part 2: What Did They Do To Me?
A Time Without Hope
"WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO ME?"
"Whoa! Calm down!"
"CALM DOWN! You don't have freakin' claws and knives coming out of your body DO YOU!"
"X, Calm down. We only want to help you"
"Huh? Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Sheila. We're going to help you. Just calm down, and we'll try to explain"
deep breathes "Okay,… what the hell happen?" For you readers. I'll explain what I look like to you. There's 3 6 or 8 inch claws coming out of my knuckles, a single blade coming from my forearms, down past my knuckles, like a built in sword almost. Plus on my feet, 2 more claws were sticking out. I look like a freakin' killing machine.
Shade had slowly began to explain. He started off how we first met. How he, and Blaze, had figured out what Stryker was doing, and why I was there. He than began to explain the 'design' of the procedure, pretty much how and why I looked the way I did. I was speechless to say the least.
"… wow." SNIKT! The claws had gone back in.
"Ow… but why me? I mean, I hardly remember anything"
"… you don't remember…anything?"
"Not really. Except you guys and what you've told me, nothing"
"…good god. Not this again"
"What do you mean?"
"About 14 years ago, a man had about the same thing happen to him, but just the clawed hands. They erased his memory too"
"…are you serious?"
"Yeah"
"Well, now that that's over, we should head to that tavern"
"Tavern?"
"Pretty much it's a pub and a motel. Pub below, rooms/motel above. I know the owners"
"Great"
So with that, they began to pack up. Shelia, and Blaze on the bike, and me and Shade to the skies again. It only took about 20 minutes to get to there. Blaze was right, it was a pub.
"We'll go in the back way. No one will notice us, or bother us that way."
We snuck around the back, and up a fire escape like stairway.
"Here we go. 2 rooms, 4 beds. Shelia, want a go and get some clothes for our new friend?"
"Of course." A couple minutes later she return with 2 pairs of jeans, under garments, socks, boots, a t-shirt, a hoodie sweatshirt, and a leather jacket.
"Well, that should keep you warm."
"Thank you"
"No problem. Besides, those were a little big on me anyways"
"Hey, X. You hungry?"
"Yeah, but does this place have food?"
"Yeah, you bet it does"
"Oh, okay"
We spent the next couple of days there. On that 5th night, we went down stairs to watch a cage match that was going to happen that night. I've never felt so much so much excitement in my life before. Well, I guess you can say I can't actually say that cause I hardly remember anything.
"All right. Ladies and Gentleman, may I have your attention! Tonight's matches start off with a local fight. Please give a warm welcome to… THE NIGHT RIDER!"
cheers in the backround
"Wow, they must really like this guy"
"You have no idea"
"And tonight's challenger! Will he please enter the ring"
And that's how it went basically. They started off with one fighter, add one, and they would fight. The winner would stay the loser would be dragged off. Then a new fighter would enter, and the process would start all over again. There was so much momentum and energy, people started placing bets. That's when it happen.
"FRANK!"
"Huh?" the 'announcer' as I dubbed him, turned around to see a this guy come flying in, pushing people out of the way.
"Hold the match. What's a matter Ern?"
"Turn on the T.V. there's something you might want to see."
He, being Frank, nodded towards the bartender, who flicked on the T.V. to channel 8 news. There was the president of the U.S., making a world wide announcement.
"So, it's the president of the states. What about him?"
"Listen!" Ern had shouted.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the United States, and the rest of the World. I Have some very devastating news to tell you all today. Today, in a town call Plaistow, Located on the bored of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, a very devastating act has accured"
"Shut that damn thing off, and let's get back to the match" someone had shouted from the back.
"Shut up you idiot. This is really important. It's all over the place."
"That act, was an attack on a local high school in the town. Timberlane Regional High School, once a proud standing school, has now been reduced to rumble. No, ladies and gentlemen, not by a wrecking ball, but by a force. A force so terrible, it's huge turning point not only for the United States of America, but to everyone on this planet"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this force, was created" pause " by mutants"
"Come on. Let's get out of here guys. We have to get X out of here"
"That's right. Mutants. They are real, and they live amongst us. They very well could be in the same room as you are now. This is a gigantic-"
The T.V. had exploded.
"Oh my, god!" someone had yelled. That's when it all really started. Yes there were mutants inside the pub, and they were either scared or angry.
"They're freaks! Get them!"
Unordered chaos. Everywhere. I had gotten separated from the group. I'm sitting curled up in a corner, not believing what's happening. It's happened. A part of me memory has came back. People weren't supposed to know. It's all starting. The mutant phenomenon has started. And I'm only 15. this can't be happening. No, not now. Why? Why now?
"Huh? Hey kid, you okay?"
"… help me" a small whisper was uttered.
The gruff man looks around, then scoops up the small, fragile girl. As he runs out of the pub, a small explosion can be heard. But the man doesn't hear it. The girl in his arms is shaking violently. They get into the pickup truck, with the attached trailer, and drives off into the night. Little does this man know, that the fragile girl sitting in his passenger sit is not as fragile as he thinks…
