Heather was taken back to the room. She was alone with the man that also passed the test earlier. He sat on the floor by the corner, looking at the ceiling. He looked so devastated and lonely. He definitely didn't want to talk to anyone and neither did she so she sat on her bed with her knees in her arms, leaning against the wall and also looking at the ceiling. The tears that had filled her eyes earlier started to roll down. She had a lot to think about.
The silence that filled the room was disrupted by the door opening, it was in the middle of the night, who would come here? Heather rose up immediately while the man was deep in sleep, apparently the person didn't see her. She was a feminine figure at the door, she was wearing a hoodie with covered her eyes. The feminine structure acted in haste. She quickly got into the room and shut the door. She looked troubled and nervous. She also looked like she was searching for something. What is she looking for? Heather couldn't guess what she was looking for but she had to use this opportunity to escape so she looked around and carried cloth. She was going to gag her with it and run away.
The woman backed her so she slowly and quietly creeped towards her. When she just the chance she lauched to gag her but the woman gasped turning around which made Heather freeze. Her eyes were wide eyes open and her lips were parted, she scrunched her brows gaping at the woman in confusion.
'Heather? Heather' May said in tears and hugged Heather. 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you from this place. Please forgive me' May cried as she poured out her heart cries, she held Heather tight in her arms as she was going to lose her if she let her go she would lose her again. Heather on the other hand stood still and motionless. She didn't know how to react to any of this, only tears rolled down her cheeks. She was daft for the moment. When would this nightmare end...
They were seated on Heather's bed, the man was still in deep sleep. May held her hands looking at her with so much love. She brushed Heather's hair to ear, with a rueful smile. Heather sniffed and also smiled at her. 'How "sob"how you here? Were also kidnapped?' Heather broke the silence first. 'Well I- I also brought here' May replied and paused before saying ' I was so scared, I was scared of everything. It was so hard to bear the torture in this place-' May paused and bit her lip, she had so much pain in her eyes. 'Why didn't you tell?' Heather asked. 'Because I couldn't, and believe me it was hard. It was "sob" so hard to lie to you every single time I did "sob" but I had no choice, I couldn't tell you...' 'Why? What was the reason' Heather asked with her voice cracking. ''Cause if I did we'll both be dead' 'what?' Heather couldn't believe her ears.
May nodded before saying 'We'll both be dead before I even finished tell you the turth' ' W-"sigh" how?' ' You see we all have chips in brains. When someone is brought here, the person is handcuffed and then a device is used to insert a chip in our brains through our ears, only then are you released from the handcuffs once you are inside' What? So that was why she felt that pain in her head when she was earlier brought here.
'That chip determines your whole existence the moment it enters your brain. It processes all your potentials, skills and talents. It requires at least a day to access your whole body and arrive at results. That's why the test was held the day after you were brought here. The test is just to see if your potentials are up to 60% of 100, that's the pass mark' 'so if it below 60% it is a fail?' 'Yes, those below 60% fail' May confirmed. Heather took deep breaths. This was a lot to digest but it wasn't even half of what was yet to come
