They were plentiful, with shapes concealed in the obscurity that were barely noticeable but present. Children. When they first took me, I was not yet an adult. Yet, their silence caused my stomach to go crazy. Why? How many of us were left to rot? I whispered, "Who is this person?" with a low-pitched tone. She stepped forward, her eyes flickering as she stood between us and the children. “They're the ones who didn't make it,” she muttered softly, her voice abrasive but still muted. The ones who failed.”. I shivered. We were all supposed to be experiments, she said. "We paused and thought, 'Some of you -- we remember some of us.'". Remembering causes us to break. “Break?” Locke asked. “Break how?”. The girl breathed deeply and nodded in agreement. "The 'tests' were designed to transform us into weapons.". As our awareness increased, we rebelled. She reflected

Aria. The presence of armed guards in the distance caused me to feel a chill down my spine. There was no way to go back, there was nothing easy. Our only option was to get past them, and I wasn't sure how we could do it. Locke's hand pulled me along, holding his hand tightly. He whispered, "Stay behind me," and his voice was delicate yet unwavering. Girl, who had taken us all this far.’ She. With her face covered in a visor, she was already pushing ahead with activity. "Leave me alone," she said, scanning our surroundings once to confirm our proximity. Although I had no idea where we were going, I didn't have a lot of choice. As the guards approached, their footsteps were loud and steady, echoing off the cold metal walls. All my instincts led me to seek refuge, but I couldn't find anything to hide. Nowhere to hide from them. I could hear Locke's breath, shallow but subdued, right beside me. My wrist was under his constant tugging, as if to indicate that I might be in trouble soon

Aria. I was pulled out of the door by Locke, who had his hand extended towards the back and was holding my arm. I only managed to keep track of the situation for a short time before he shoved me into a secluded space behind some carriers. Everything was drowned out by the roar of my pulsing heartbeat and an overwhelming metal/oil scent permeated everything. We were trapped. The reinforcements were coming. With his face in my grasp, Locke commanded someone to stop talking and maintain silence. My fear of speaking made me nod off. It's like breathing, I can't even say words. The metal hallway was filled with the sound of the guards' boots as they drew nearer. I breathed deeply, attempting to avoid making any sound. Each passing second was a moment of immense excitement and time. I was consumed by anxiety, anticipating the inevitable.' It appeared as though the walls were closing in.' I was aware that if they came across us here, there would be no way to escape. Even when things we

Aria. It was just a matter of moments, but every step seemed like we were running out of time. My heart raced as I heard the sound of footsteps behind us. I didn't look back, but the pressure was there, and it felt like something was right behind us. There was no way to control my shallow breathing and the constant discomfort I felt in my body. We had to keep moving. As we hurried towards the door leading to the roof, Locke kept his cool, keeping hold of my hand. The sound of the night sky hit me like nothing could be heard, and I felt a sense of emptiness as we climbed the stairs. There was no hiding place. What to do? The city was a maze of lights and shadows sprawling across. Yet it went beyond that. We were exposed, and everything around us seemed to be waiting for us.' We must find a solution," Locke murmured, silently. He paused, his gaze fixed on the skyline, and looked down at it. The scene: A faint suspicion was evident in his eyes, but he quickly covered up the doubt. I

Aria. The tone was sober, it sent shivers down my spine that made up for every last bone in my body. It wasn't just any voice. It was his voice. My body thrashed with a heavy pulse that could not be heard without any assistance. Darkness: The walls were covered in strange shadows from the window but all I could see was the man, a few feet away (from the corner). My thoughts were still haunted by the words he spoke, their impact being felt in my chest. Why? It's not your place to come here, Aria. » Read more. I breathed deeply, and for a moment, my thoughts were racing towards running. But where would I go? Even though I was with Locke, I felt vulnerable and exposed. Regardless of the person who had been watching us and knew me, they held dominion over me. Power I couldn't yet understand. Locke stood before me, his large form creating a strong barrier between me and the shadow man. He was tense and had all his muscles in knots for the inevitable. His presence was unwavering, his d
