Page 109 - Fallen Thoughts

Eventually, Lucas found the two of us and attempted to bring us back to Dr.

Taylor and he almost succeeded. I ended up breaking Lucas’s brainwashing when

I was willing to sacrifice myself to let Elaine be free. I guess he felt compassion

for once and it broke him.

From there he started Deviants and something changed in me. I didn’t care

just about myself and my sister anymore. I cared about my new family, I cared

about my future, I cared about the world. Lucas gave me purpose again and I was

alive for once. This feeling affected everything about me, I was smiling, I was

falling in love with Lucas and I was getting stronger. Elaine could still beat me

every time we fought but it was getting harder and harder for her. Perhaps now we

are finally evenly matched and it’s only a matter of time I’ll be able to beat her

once and for all.
The match between Elaine and I is rendered a tie as Alex begins to fall

asleep and the other Deviants don’t bother watching. Elaine starts giggling as we

both instantly lie down on the mat exhausted.
“Well, that was fun, but I thought we’d be going on our mission by now.”

Elaine begins.
“Don’t jinx it, that would be cliché-” I stammer back right as the ear piece

I’ve been wearing begins talking to me and my wrist vibrates.

I look around and everyone seems to be hearing the voice as well.
“Excuse me Deviants, we are beginning transportation to the rendezvous

point. Please make your way to hanger 723 for pick up.” The voice states and then

repeats itself again.
I look down at my still buzzing watch and a blue light has begun blinking in

the all black screen. I press it and an image of a woman with dark hair and dark

skin appears repeating the same line over and over again.

“That’s pretty cool” I state.
