Stone felt something running down his lips. He ran his tongue around the top of his lip.
He felt something go onto his tongue and smacked his lips to try and find the taste.
Metallic and slightly sweet yet bitter. That familiar taste, blood. But it was coming from him.
He tried to raise his hand to wipe his nose but he couldn't. He tried to stand but to no avail.
It was at this moment he realized he still had his eyes closed. He let them flutter open and was faced with his lap with a few strands of hair blocking his view.
His head was hanging down.
So he lifted his face to look around. He felt his back press against something hard and that's when he also discovered that he was bound to a chair.
He grunted as he tried to move his arm but the ropes were so tight that even with all his strength they didn't even budge.
The ropes that tied him to the back of the chair cut into his stomach.
He exhaled and blew out a puff of air in an attempt to move the strands of hair out of his face.
He started to glance around, in search of any clues on where he was being kept. He looked forward and in front of him was another wooden chair.
He looked down and saw the floors were made of polished metal and it had the familiar scent of a hospital. He looked to his left to see the wall coated with papers and red string. He could make out the word 'REVENGE' in big red letters on top.
There were also many names, of which he knew. Most were powerful people from powerful families. He felt a snicker slip out of his lips.
He looked to the left and saw another display of paper with red string. But instead, the big red letters on top said 'Destroy Daniel'.
He again found himself slightly bemused. To think anyone would think they had a chance of getting revenge against them was entertaining.
He took a deep breath through his nose making some blood fall into his throat and sat up.
His head throbbed as he pressed his back all the way against the chair. He felt sunlight gently caress his skin.
He knew he had to try and see what his surroundings were. The whole interior was made out of metal and behind the other chair in front of him was a railing that was next to a staircase. Everything looked brand new and unrealistically clean. It must have been some kind of warehouse or factory.
He couldn't move so he decided to do the only thing he could do. Call for help.
"Hey! Anybody!? Look I know that I might have done something bad, but I don't deserve this!"
His voice was dry and horse but he still continued.
"You want money?! Girls, I can get you, girls!? C'mon everybody has their price!?"
Silence filled the air and Stone sighed, "*Sigh* And I'm wasting my breath because nobody's here."
He then closed his eyes and leaned his head back onto the chair. "Guess I'll just have to wait before I negotiate." He groaned.
(About Fifteen Minutes Later)
*Clang Creak* Stone slowly opened his eyes at a loud sound. It must have been the door. He sat his head up as heard someone coming up the stairs.
He was faced with what he thought was a large man dressed head to toe in black. When really it was just Zoey.
"Hiya doc you awake?" Zoey asked.
Stone stared at Zoey with a blank look.
"*haha*"
Zoey tilted her head as Stone let out a small laugh.
"*hahaha AHAHAHA*" Stone's laugh became more maniacal.
"Ah! I'm sorry it's just, I can't believe I got to meet such an idiot in person!
I bet you're that dude from the news who escaped from that club by going through the window, aren't you?
How did you do that by the way? Oh, who cares you're just gonna kill me. I'm just anxious to see how bad you'll fail in your little quest to purge the evil in this city. *AHAHAHA*"
Zoey tilted her head to the other side and asked innocently, " Huh? Could it be? You don't recognize me doc?" Before walking over to the other chair in the room.
Stone's blood-stained smile faltered for a bit at Zoey's question.
Zoey turned the chair around and sat on it backward with her chest resting on the back and arms resting on top. She then took off her hat, letting her hair cascade down her shoulders. She was smiling so wide that her eyes became slightly squinted.
Stone's mouth fell open a bit and he gasped, " *gasp* Zoey Chang?"
"Ah, so you do remember me?" Zoey asked with her eyes wide.
"And to answer your question, I am that man from the news," Zoey said nonchalantly.
Stone was speechless for a few minutes and his eyes were bulging out oh so unsettlingly. But as the minutes ticked by, his face returned to a neutral position then back into a usual creepy smile.
"Since you showed me your face I guess you're gonna kill me right?" Stone asked.
"Mmm, I dunno," Zoey mumbled nonchalantly and shrugged her shoulders. This made Stone a little pissed but he brushed it off.
"And I'm also guessing you want information on what I did to you?" Stone inquired.
"Yup, " Zoey bluntly replied.
"But since you're going to kill me I don't see the point on telling you at all." Stone said cockily.
"Sounds fair, " Zoey replied in a bored voice.
"But I have a few questions for you if you don't mind?" Stone asked.
"Sure go ahead. Hey, you don't mind if I have a snack do you?" Zoey asked and pulled out a chocolate bar from her system.
Stone gasped again and held back another maniacal laugh as the chocolate bar dropped into his hand.
He tried to lean forward as much as he could even though the ropes cut into his body.
" Who are you really? What have you done to the real Zoey Chang? How do you do the things you can? No, matter a fact what are you? Why are you here? What grudge do you have against the people on the walls? What else can you do?" He interrogated with question after question.
Zoey munched on her chocolate bar and licked what little chocolate had gotten onto her fingers.
"Oh, is that all? Well, to start with who I am, it is who by the way, " she finished her chocolate bar and licked the remains that were left around her mouth.
" I do identify as Zoey now. But before I was Jade Bell a genetically superhuman soldier that went through many painful excruciating experiments that gave me a multitude of powers.
I was on a vacation with my brand new lover when my ex-drug addict turned billionaire father conspired with a scientist who tortured me and as it turns out, with gang leader/CEO Daniel Fang to kill me.
They succeeded in killing both me and my lover.
But to my surprise, I had been reincarnated into the body of Zoey Chang who had recently passed. I took on her identity and decided to get revenge for both of us."
Zoey bluntly explained with a brief summary. Making Stone's expression shift from shocked to confused to bewildered.
But Zoey went on into even more detail, completely ignoring Stone's face.
