AAAHHH! Sorry, just got back from an insanely amazing concert! Radiance Effect brought us onto the stage for their last song! Of course it helps that they're my most favorite band! Okay, now that I got that out of my system...
I'd been there for a few weeks, in which nothing really happened. We'd wake up around 7, and Rex would go to training while I would go to work with doctor Holiday. We'd have lunch together, and hang out the rest of the day. Every night, I tried to question Six, but failed every time. My arm had completely healed, and my legs were slowly getting better.
And yet, during this entire time, no one guessed that I was an EVO. This entire arrangement was perfectly fine, until something happened.
I was eating dinner with Rex, when an alarm went off. Rex and I immediately jumped up and ran to where the alarm was coming from. In the hallway a big green lizard with crystal growing out of one hand, and a giant metal wolf. They saw us and hissed.
"Okay, I have to learn some self- defense." I muttered to myself, staying on the sidelines while Rex went and kicked their butts. Suddenly I realized. Maybe their animal EVOs. It's worth a shot, I just have to make sure they don't see me.
I stood as still as I could, concentrating on the sounds around me. Stop Fighting. I thought, directing it towards the EVOs.
The two EVOs instantly stopped fighting, and held their heads in their hands. I smiled, a little sadistic.
Leave this place and don't come back! I yelled at them telepathically. They clutched their heads again and ran to this hole that was in the wall. They jumped out, landing on the roof of a ship. I laughed inside my head, trying to make it a little creepier for them.
"Who were they?" I asked Rex, helping him up after getting knocked down by the fleeing EVOs.
"Biowolf and Skalamander, two members of the Pack. They work for Van Kliess." Reece started growling. Even where we lived, we heard about Van Kliess.
"Let's go." I grabbed Rex's arm, and started hobbling my way down the hall.
"Whoa, where exactly are we going?" He said, separating his arm from mine and walking next to me.
"We're finding Six. I'm going to learn how to fight." I can't use my powers whenever an attack happens. They might find out if I do.
"But you're injured! You can't fight like that!" He stood in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders. "No matter what you may think, you can't fight effectively with 2 broken legs. How about you wait until your legs heal at least? You can still learn how to fight, but you won't get hurt more than you are now." His voice softened as we looked at each other.
"Fine." I huffed, giving in. "But, we can still ask Six for some exercises I can do to strengthen my legs. Then, when I start learning, I will be strong enough."
"You aren't going to give up, are you?" I nodded. "Ugh, fine, but maybe you should ask Dr. Holiday instead. She actually cares if you get hurt or not." He and I walked down to the lab and asked Dr. Holiday.
"I'm not sure. You're legs need to heal more before you can engage with a lot of physical exercise. How about this. Once I have some free time, I'll do a test that determines if you'll be strong enough for that kind of physical exercise." Dr. Holiday said, doing a quick examination.
"Fine." I said, a little sad. I got up and hobbled down to the room. When I got there, I saw something on my bed. When I looked over, I saw a book. I picked the book up, and almost shrieked. It was a book from my favorite series! It was even the book I was going to the bookstore to get on the day I got attacked.
I looked over it to see if there was any ID to the buyer, even though it was kind of obvious.
I sat on my bed, and started to read. I got through at least 3 chapters that night, and would have gotten through more, if I hadn't heard someone clearing their throat. I jumped a little, and saw Rex sitting on the other end of my bed. I hadn't even heard him come in!
"So, I'm guessing you like the book?" He said, to me, smirking a little.
I don't exactly know why, but I gave him a huge hug. "Thank you so much!" I whispered in his ear. I could fell him getting warmer.
"But how did you get it?" I asked him while separating. "You're monitored constantly, and I've been with you a lot of the time."
"I found some time. Hope you enjoy it." He got up and head over to his bed.
Just like every night, Six poked in and turned out the nights.
"Tell me, Six. Why is it you wear sunglasses?" I ask him, curious. "It must get difficult to see in areas with not as much light."
"Why do you wear sunglasses all the time?" He closed the door before I could tell him I was hiding a pair of freakish eyes.
I screamed into my pillow while Rex laughed at me. Next thing he knew, he got a face full of pillow.
"And exactly why are you screaming?" He asked me, removing the pillow.
"I can't figure out why he's do familiar, and it's killing my brain. Now can I have my pillow back?" I asked him, still a little annoyed.
"No, I think I'll keep it." He replied, still laughing a bit.
I stalked slash limped over to him, grabbed a pillow, and stalked slash limped back. Getting into beds, I could still hear Rex laughing over it. It wasn't until later that I found out I had grabbed his pillow instead of mine. I didn't care. As long as I had something soft to put my head on. I even kind of liked it. It smelled like him. It sounds a little creepy, but it smelled nice. I was fast asleep before I knew it.
Okay, there you go! A chapter for you to enjoy!
