A/N: Hello everyone. Ok this story has no name or real plot but please read, enjoy and review to tell me what you thought.
The wind swept through the trees, echoing oddly around the night. I slowly made my way across the room, trying to make as little sound as possible. With each creak in the floor I would pause, my heart pumping loudly. Once it was apparent that I was alone, I would relax, trying to catch my breath. If there was a detector for the level of my nerves, the result would be off the charts.
“It isn’t much further” I told myself, but the door seemed so far away, as if I would never make it. I could of course just give up, turn back and crawl towards my cell and continue leaving this ordinary and boring exsistence. It might not even be a bad life, it is all i have ever known. But I had to know, my curiosity was to strong to never wonder what would happen. My desire for knowledge was burning too great to back out know. So I stepped forward again, slowly edging my way towards the door, and my freedom.
“Night time stroll I see” a voice said, cutting through my body as if a thousand daggers were poking at my lungs. It was an unfamiliar voice, so it couldn’t have been one of the doctors, as we called them. Fighting to keep my breath steady, I turned slowly around to face a pair of red eyes. They spelt danger that much I knew. I strained my eyes to get a better look at this stranger but he, or she it was hard to tell, was covered in a black cloak. I looked away, hoping that if I kept still long enough they wouldn’t see me. This was not to be.
“Hiding are we, a foolish attempt” His voice was so stern and emotionless, yet I was surprised to find a hint of amusement.
“I see all” He said again, but this time in a cold, icy whisper. I wanted to run, to scream. But neither my legs nor throat would work. As if he had petrified me with those stone cold eyes.
“What did he want” I thought to myself. The stranger let out a hoarse laugh. Wasn’t he afraid of being heard? Maybe he wasn’t afraid of anything.
“I want nothing from you, to me you are insignificant” He paused. I felt like gasping in amazement.
“He can hear my thoughts” Was my first reaction, “that means no matter what I think, he will know”
“Good” The voice said “It saves me from having to explain it” This time I didn’t bother wasting energy trying to voice my question. I looked deep into those blood red eyes and thought my query.
“Are you in my mind?” “Oh no, I can’t take control of ones mind. I wouldn’t either; a mind is a very personal place. I can only access your thoughts and feelings on the conscious level. But nothing more”
“I see” I replied, or more thought than said. My voice would still not work. All that would was my eyes. He let out a quick laugh, however this time it didn’t sound cold or scary but younger. However the stranger quickly went back to his emotionless tone.
“I’m sure you don’t”
“So how can you freeze me like this if it’s not mind control”
“I forgot about that. Well that’s easy; I’m using another technique that allows me to control your body.” Technique I thought, but the man didn’t respond to this. I realized at this point that he had released me from his hold. My first instinct was to run as fast as I could, screaming out at the top of my lungs. I didn’t care about escaping anymore, I just wanted to live.
“I wouldn’t if I were you” He said, his voice sounded bored.
“Really” I asked out loud. If my voice gave the impression that I was confident and had the situation under control than this was nothing compared to what I was feeling. Deep down my heart was beating so loud it was deafening. The man was staring at me again. I could feel his eyes upon me. I looked into them and I saw that the look wasn’t one of annoyance but rather that he was thinking or pondering about something.
“Interesting” He said, to more than himself than to me. There was an awkward silence following this statement, which is when I became aware of the constant ticking of the nearby cloak. The stranger, who at this point I had discovered must be a male, had also noticed because he looked towards its direction than cursed softly, but just loud enough for me to hear. Once again the voice sounded young, but he covered it up again. I felt my pulse speed up again.
“We must leave here now” He said, his voice now was stern and harsh. My blood turned cold.
“What do you mean we? I thought you said in was insignificant to you” I asked. He nodded, his tone sounded annoyed and impatient when he next spoke.
"I did but unfortunately you could be of considerable use to us."
“Who is this us?”
“All in good time” He replied, as if he was bored of the conversation “Now I’m out of time and on a very tight schedule so please stop the pointless and endless questions and let’s go”
“I’m not going anywhere” I demanded
“Oh really, funny about that. Weren’t you just about to try and escape” He replied
“Fine yes I was, sorry ill rephrase that. I’m not going anywhere with you” I told him and he sighed.
“You want to get out of here do you not?” he asked
“Yes I do” I admitted
“Then I can help you”
“Why” I said, trying to keep my voice steady once more. I noticed that the stranger’s eyes were no longer red, but a deep black. “What do you want from me?”
“On the contrary my dear it is more what you can do for us”
“What I can do for you, why do you think I would want to help you” The man sighed and took a step forward. I immediately took two back and noticing this he stopped.
“I’m sure you know by now that things aren’t what they appear to be here.” He explained and I nodded for him to continue. “You are, all of the children here are, nothing but outcasts. Beings that are not meant for this world. They experiment on you, use you for their own personal gain and try to stop all attempts of your true nature taking over. I am here to help you. If you come with me then we can help you realize that true potential and stop them”
“True potential” I repeated weakly
“Yes, I’m sure you are aware by now that you are different”
“Well yes, we all are but”
“Yes but you in particular are different” he snapped and I frowned. I knew that I probably should have taken this opportunity to cry for help but I was curious to know what it was that he wanted for me. Of course my desire to know over ruled my rational thinking.
“Why am I different, if anything I’m more normal then the others?”
“Yes because while others were created, you were born naturally. You’re different; your curiosity tells us that. Which is why we need you?” The stranger told me and I took a step forward
“Well I don’t want to be some tool for you guys to use as you please”
“I’m afraid my friend you have no choice” The man said out loud.
“Why is that?” I asked my voice cracking as my heart literally stopped. He made a sudden movement and I was aware of a sharp pain at the back of my head before my whole world went black.
