Chapter 4: chapter 4
Six's pov, "ugh, my heads killing me." I wined with my eyes closed, trying to stay asleep.
"x..." I heard a voice.
I rolled over in an attempt to ignore the voice.
"ix..." the voice called out louder.
"Ugh, shut up!" I wined.
"Six get up!" the voice yelled in my ear.
"fuck!" I jumped, now fully awake, what the hell do you want!?" I asked looking over to the direction of the voice.
when I looked over, I was face to face with brown eyes and short blonde hair, he had a smug smile on his face.
"Ugh, five, what are you doing?" I questioned with with a tired expression, "let me sleep dammit!"
"no can do, it's meal time!" he exclaimed, pumping his fists in the air.
my eye's bulged when what five said registered.
"where late!" I exclaimed, hoping out of bed.
bed was to nice of a word for what we slept on, in reality it was a cot and a small blanket.
not even a damn pillow.
I quickly got in the shower, got dressed and we made our way to the common area.
"I wonder what they're gonna serve us today?" five pondered as we walked down the corridor.
"probably the same crap they usually feed us." I replied with distain.
"nah the grub ain't that bad." Five laughed, "sometimes it's actually pretty gourmet!"
I looked over at him with a tired expression, "Gourmet, seriously?"
"yeah, the ham they give us on the holidays is fucking amazing!" he praised with while drooling.
"I don't get you man..." I said with a tired expression.
"haha, that's probably for the best!" Five laughed.
we continued to talk the rest of the walk,
once we reached the door there was a biometric security system.
"Man I'm starving aren't you Six?" Five said placing his hand on the scanner.
it beeped then flashed green, with a loud click signifying the door has been unlocked, once opened the loud noise of the cafeteria, the noise of hundreds of voices assaulted my ears.
hundreds of kids, between the ages of nine and sisteen were eating there breakfast and having conversations.
we headed to the food distribution area, grabbed a trey filled with food and went for our table.
each table was for a specific group, ours was on the far side against the window.
once we got there me and Five greeted the rest of our group that was currently there, our group consisted of six individuals total each called by the number they represent.
in this place names where meaningless, why? because in here we aren't even considered people, just lab rats.
"oi Six, what took so long? it's nearly nine." two questioned.
I was never able to get a read on two, but judging from his accent, he was probably from Australia?
but that was an educated guess.
"Six wouldn't wake up." Five said through a mouthful of steak and eggs.
"Jesus man, at least keep it in your mouth, it makes this already horrid food worse." two gagged.
Five just shrugged and kept eating.
I looked down at my trey, poorly cooked scrambled eggs, a large strip steak and a banana, it looked like prison food.
honestly I don't know if that's true or not but this food had absolutely no taste or flavor.
It was just plain.
"where's the rest of us?" I asked One.
"where do ya think?" He countered
"augmentation's?" I titled my head.
"yup..." he confirmed.
suddenly something slammed into the table, right into Fives food.
he picked up the item, it was an apple, Five inspected it and after judging if it was salvageable he kept it.
"hey, mind giving me my apple back?" a kid said, walking towards us.
he seemed to be between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, spikey brown hair and similar colored eye's, he was pretty tall for his age definitely at least two heads taller then me.
"nope, finders keepers." Five said stuffing the apple in his pocket.
"dammit Five that's forty-five!" One hissed, "he's a second year!"
hearing One warn Five, forty-five flashed a satistic smile.
"that's right, so you best do as I say if ya know what's good for ya." he said with a cocky smile.
"If you wanted to keep it, you shouldn't of thrown it at him." I said without making eye contact.
"huh?" He looked down at me.
this time I looked up into his eye's.
"you heard me." I stood my ground.
"runts like you make it so difficult." he facepalmed, "you should've just minded your own business whore-son."
I froze letting my hair cover my eyes.
"what?" I asked in a low voice.
"you know son of a whore." he laughed, "as in your mother took it from multiple dudes for money."
this bastard who the fuck does he think he is?
"hey! fuck you, your talking so much shit but are the weakest in your group?" Five said in an uncharacteristically dark tone.
"says the one who's parents sold h-" before he could finish his insult I was already on him.
I gripped the steak knife the was ment for my steak and repeatedly stabbed him all over.
"don't. fucking. talk. about. my. mother." I said while stabbing him.
after a minute I stopped looked into his dying eyes, blood pooling around us.
I felt satisfied.
I looked around the cafeteria which became deathly quite, once my eyes glanced over everyone they looked away so the didn't make eye contact.
before I could move the guards were on me, the grabbed me and pulled me off of him.
I expected them to beat me half to death but it never came, they just dragged me out and down the hall.
my only thought was the bastard had it coming.

Jake's pov, "ugh that damn dream again.." I woke up in a cold sweat.
I looked over at the clock, '2:15 am' it blinked.
"guess I should get ready then." I mumbled in a dry tone.
I got ready, and headed towards the door, when I opened the door there was a note taped to the front of it.
I took the note, 'Jake, since you were sleeping, so I left your food in the fridge, mom'
I smiled.
my mother has always let us have a lot of freedom, to the point of as long as you call her every now and again she wouldn't worry.
but she did.
I opened the fridge, looking at my plate I decided not to take it with me.
I grabbed a hoodie and left.
I was looking forward to this!
