Akria's P.O.V
I sat in that chair for a while. There was no way to keep track of time here. Tadashi stayed in there with me. I wasn't sure what to say. What exactly do you say to the mind controlled you thought was dead brother of your boyfriend. Not exactly your everyday problem. He however seemed to have questions.
"Tell me more about this college?"
"Why?" I asked.
"There is something about your sweatshirt reminds me of something. Something I may have had."
"Don't you know who you are?"
"All I know is that I work for the master. Please can you tell me a little bit more?" His eyes softened and I knew if I could reach him a little more he might be able to overcome the power of the master. So I spoke him I told him about my life at SFIT. I told him about the gang. I told him about Hiro and Baymax. "Hiro" He whispered again. I leaned forward hoping Hiro's name would have snagged a memory a real one. All of sudden the door busted open.
The master came walking in and looked at me. Tadashi quickly looked away from me. "So Akria have you made up your mind, or do I have to do more persuading." He brought his knife out and twirled it around.
This was my chance if I can use what he has to help Tadashi and maybe break out of here. Then I'll be good to go. "You have a deal Master just don't hurt my friends."
"Wonderful welcome to your 1st job." He snapped his fingers and Tadashi came over to untie me from the chair. He then lifted me up and dragged me down the hallway with the master leading the way. I tried to note something unique about this place but it was simple and I couldn't get a good enough look because Tadahsi kept pushing me forward.
I was then brought into this small lab which held anything you could imagine in a lab. You name it he had it. Perfect I thought to myself. I could build something to help Tadashi and something to get out of this god forsaken place. "He will watch over you I'll be back be tonight to check your progress." He walked out of the room and I smiled. I grabbed a seat and immediately started working.
Whenever Tadashi turned around I took a closer look at his chip. I knew exactly what I needed to take it out. I walked around the lab working so hard. Tadashi looked at my work and commented. "That doesn't look like your energy source."
"Uuuuhhhh it's something more powerful I guarantee it." He seemed oblivious which was what I needed right now. He turned around and just stood by the door. I let out a breath of relief and continued to work on the device. After a couple hours...I think I heard the door open and the master was back. He looked at me and I hid the device in the pocket of the sweatshirt.
"So has the energy source coming on."
"Frankly I'll need more time. It took a long time to create the source. It took months and months. I hurt myself a few times creating it. It will take more than a day to create it again. "
"I want it now." He said to me. I looked straight at his mask trying to find his eyes.
"It will take time, you have to be patient." He lifted his hand and curled it into a fist. I prepared myself for a punch across the face. Instead it was a punch in the stomach. I collapsed onto the ground and had a coughing fit. Man he really packs a wallop. I held onto my stomach. I felt like throwing up. He kneeled down and lifted up my chin.
"Listen to me little girl. I am not a patient man. I want that energy source now. I want it be the end of this week..." He threw my face to the ground and I hit it pretty hard. "I'll be kind tonight however you can have tonight and part of tomorrow off." He snapped his fingers once again. And Tadashi came over. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed one of my hands to a nearby desk. He gave the master the key. "Sleep well tonight Akria." He took one last look at me and gave me one final slap against the face. He walked out of the room laughing.
I let out a deep breath. My stomach still hurt and now my face was throbbing. I took my other hand I reached into my pocket I still had the device though. Tadashi looked at me with sympathy. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Why do you work with me if you hate the way he is treating me. You stopped him from hurting me earlier. Why?"
"Like I said before, I don't know." Maybe I could use the device. I moved forward a little but I was held back by the handcuffs. Damn it. I sat back down struggling against the handcuffs. I pulled and pulled but it wasn't coming away from the desk. So I just sat there on the floor. Hurting like hell and lost. Tadashi looked at me, I could tell he wanted to help but something held him back. "I have to go." He said abruptly. "The master needs to see me." He left the room locking the door behind him.
I curled up into a ball grasping the device. Now that I was alone I broke down. The tears rolled down my cheeks onto the floor. My eyes were turning bloodshot. I was in pain. I wanted to go back home. Back to Aunt Cass back to Baymax back to Hiro. "Hiro" I whispered as I continued. I prayed he would come and get me but I couldn't stay here for much longer. There is no way I would live by the end of this week with the way I was being treated.
I laid there crying and crying. I've held it in for so long that it all came out at once. I wanted Hiro to be here. He would tell me everything would be alright. He would make everything better. "Hiro" I whispered again. I laid there the rest of the night crying and eventually feel asleep, dreaming of Hiro telling me. I promise everything will be okay.
