Chapter 5 - Chapter Five: Seminary For Gifted Children

Lia and Finley were brought to the government's custody by two spies for Alicia. They were both fighting to break free of the spies' grips but to no success. They were placed in Alicia's office so she could figure out their punishment. They were sitting there for what they thought was hours, but it was only thirty minutes before Alicia actually stepped into her office.

"Well, look what we have here. Looks like the special traitor brought a new friend for us to play with, William." Alicia said in an evil and cheerful tone.

"What are you going to do to us, Alicia?" Lia asks Alicia in a scared but collected tone.

"Oh, nothing really, traitor. Just going to send you to the seminary for gifted children. That is going to teach you how to respect your government officials in office." Alicia sneered and said in an evil yet sad tone.

"Wait, you mean to tell us that you are sending us to THE seminary because we need to be taught how to respect the government officials in office right now." Finley said in a confused and shaky tone of voice. 

"Yes, she means-" William starts to say but gets interrupted by Alicia.

"Shut up, William." She turns to the twins. "Yes, I mean THE seminary. You will be taught to obey and respect your government officials." Alicia said in the evilest tone of voice anyone has ever heard come out of her mouth.

"Lia, I think we are about to be separated." Finley said in a worried tone.

"I think so too, Finley." Lia said in a worried and shaky tone.

They get dragged away by the stormtroopers that were holding them to where they couldn't fight them. A few hours later, they get to what they thought was a seminary. The stormtroopers register them as new students of the supposed seminary. Then, Lia and Finley get a sick feeling in both of their stomachs.

"Why do I feel like we are about to be in trouble?" Lia asks Finley in a worried tone.

"I don't know but I feel the same way." Finley said in a worried and shaky tone of voice.

They register the twins and put them into a holding cell. Then after five hours of sitting in the holding cell, a very sinister and familiar face shows up to their cell. That sinister and familiar person is no other than William Black himself. He grabs the twins by each arm and takes them into a room with a chair for one to sit in and an enormous bed sits in the middle of the room. What the twins didn't know was that there was a secret camera in the room.

"Hey, you two! Come here and hold this boy to the chair so he doesn't try to kill me when I do whatever I want to his twin sister here." William said in a creepy and sinister tone of voice.

"No! Please, don't do what I think you are about to do!?" Lia pleads with all of her strength.

"I will do whatever I please, little girl." William said in the creepiest tone anyone has ever heard. 

"WHOA!? NO YOU'RE NOT, YOU CREEP!?" Finley yells to the point that his anger is distinguish in his voice.

"YES, I AM AND I WILL DO WHATEVER I PLEASE!?" William yells in Finley's face with so much force that it knocks Finley off balance.

"Fine. You win, William." Finley said in a defeated tone of voice.

William laughs evilly. "Finally! I thought you would never stop protecting your sister over there!?"

Then, the unthinkable started to happen in front of both Lia and Finley. Finley was held down in the chair and with his arms behind his back, in an awkward position. Finley tries to fight the stormtroopers to save his twin, yet he can't even get free of the stormtroopers' grip. Then, Finley hears the unthinkable thing from his sister. A very loud scream along with a lot of sobs.

"STOP HARMING MY SISTER, PLEASE!?" Finley pleads through his panicked state.

"This is how you two will learn to respect and not object your government officials in office!?" William yells over the chaos that he caused and said in a dark and evil tone.

Finley starts crying and starts to shake violently. "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, WILLIAM!?"

"I CAN AND I JUST DID!?" William yells at Finley and walks out of the room.

Lia gets up in a very quick manner and walks away to the holding cell. Finley is released a few minutes later and walks slowly and quietly back to the holding cell with his sister. After a few minutes of silence, Finley tries to hug his sister and to comfort her but, Lia flinches away from her brother and retreats to the corner in the cell. Finley looks at her with sadness, confusion, and sympathy in his eyes. Lia then tries to talk but, she realizes she lost her voice completely from the traumatizing incident that occurred not even a few minutes ago.

"Hey Lia. I know you don't want to be touched right now but, I'm here if you need anything or if you need someone to talk to." Finley said in a calm voice so that Lia isn't afraid of her own brother.

"T-thank you, Finley." Lia struggles to get out since her voice is gone. "I-I really a-appreciate it."

This abuse happened to them for days on end until one day, something weird happened. Alicia decided it was a good idea to visit the twins in their cell. She showed up and banged on the cell door and that woke the twins up from their sleep. They open the door, and they see Alicia, smiling from ear to ear. They thought it was weird but then she called for Lia and to go with her for a second.

"Lia, take this. You might need it." Alicia said, handing her something that Lia had no idea to what it is.

"Thanks, I guess." Lia said in a confused tone, taking it even though she had no idea to what it was.

Alicia had handed her a pregnancy test because, she saw Lia having symptoms of a pregnancy through the secret camera in the cell. She looked kind of worried for Lia even though she knew about the seminary not actually being a seminary and about all of the abuse Lia and Finley went through the past couple of months.

"What did she give you, Lia?" Finley asks in a confused and concerned tone.

"I don't know but, it looks like a pregnancy test." Lia replies in a concerned yet relieved tone.

"Well, if it is a pregnancy test, take it so you can figure out why you keep getting nauseous and throwing up so much." Finley said in a calm and relieved tone of voice.

Lia takes the pregnancy test to the bathroom that was closest to their cell. She takes it and waits for the results.

She flips it around and it reveals something scary:

It's positive.
