Chapter Two: Realization:

It took me a moment to finally realize that the word came from the warden. As I opened my mouth to speak the warden began to talk again.

"I hope you find your accommodations comfortable, after all you're going to be in here for a very long time."

I tried again, this time a wheeze came out. The warden motioned to the blacksuit beside him. The blacksuit raised a glass of water to my face inserting a bendy straw. I gulped down the water greedily, and then gasped for air.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Now, now let's all calm down, after all everything will be explained in time."

"In time, in time?! Don't' give me that B.S; I want to know what the hell is going on now!"

"All right then, I'll tell you what's going on. You have been chosen."

"Chosen? Chosen! Ha! Tell me really what the hell is going on."

"Now don't interrupt until I have finished after all it isn't very polite."

He motioned to the blacksuit again, this time he didn't give me water, he punched me in the stomach, causing me to spit all over it. The blacksuit raised its fist to strike again, but luckily the warden stopped it before it could inflict more damage.

"You have been chosen to become one of us."

"One of you?!"

"You have been chosen to become one of us, and if you submit, you will have power beyond your wildest dreams, the strength to crush others with a flick of your finger."

"And if I don't?"

"Then I cannot guarantee your safety. After all who doesn't want power?"

I took a closer look at the boys sharing the room with me. My heart sunk and my chest felt like a block of lead was sitting on it, I couldn't breathe. They were going to turn me into one of them… a blacksuit.

"I see that you've realized your fate. How observant of you, you seem far more reliable than those before you, but don't worry even if you become a failure we still have a purpose for you."

"Failure?! What the hell?!

"A failure, I believe that one of your friends have been turned into one."

Then it hit me, my eyes water, I can't believe it, there's no possibility that I can escape this.

"I'll see you again."

And just like that the warden left the room with the blacksuit trailing after him. The door slams leaving me to think and suffer by myself. The hum and whir of machines fill the room and end the silence, but not in my head. Thoughts, questions, and memories race around my head, my breathing becomes labored. My heart races, I get an odd feeling, one I can't place, and then I remember it. Fear, something I haven't felt since, since that time, that time, that time what? I forgot, no I don't remember. My head swirls and everything gets screwed up. My eyelids get heavier, I try to stay awake, I remember one thing the clearest. Alex will come rescue me and I know it. After what happened today, the worst thing is that I don't know who I am.
