After getting caught and receiving a good beating, I was dragged into one of the bigger trucks. My body which was now bruised and injured lost its feeling, not that I wanted to move anyway.
"This is the culprit?" When I was about to fall into a deep slumber until further notice. I heard a feminine sound coming from outside the truck before the door opened again and the silhouette of a beautiful woman represented itself in front of me.
She was a tall woman with long blonde hair tied into a messy bun to not restrict her movements. Her oval-shaped face along with the two pairs of glasses gave her a new charm incomprehensible to many people. Add that to the white lab coat she wore that covered her stupidly attractive body.
"You're Elijah Kleren, right?... You look young for a rising serial killer.." She muttered while looking at a report that she got from a random soldier who could barely hide his urge to knead those two huge melons tiring her poor shoulders.
I didn't have the strength nor the desire to answer her mocking question. I was fighting the deep exhaustion I was feeling physically and mentally.
"Anyway, we can't have a proper conversation here..Tell them we're going to move." She sighed for some reason and proceeded to leave the truck while swaying her hips seductively.
But, before she could close the door...
"Elijah...MY SONN!! LET ME SEE MY SON!!" I heard the shaky voice of my mother arguing with one of the soldiers.
I was delighted that my parents weren't harmed but also, I didn't want to meet them, not after all of this mess.
My parents were good and humble people and they took pride in that. Even my dad used to say 'No matter where you reach...never forget where you started.' That humbleness got engraved into my heart as I grew up and I could say that it had a good chunk of contribution to how I became.
Now, their own son got arrested as a nation-level threat that murdered 150 people in the span of a few hours. What kind of emotions were they feeling? What kind of pain were they going through? Wait, how could they believe that in the first place?
The woman who stopped for a second looked back at me for a split second and then she spoke again.
"We're going to move...Don't let anyone barge in here."
I didn't know why, but I felt grateful for the strange woman as she spared me from a hellish encounter with them.
'I'm sorry...Mom.Dad, your son tarnished your names...I am extremely sorry.' I could only think so, but if I was spared from getting executed. I felt that one day....one day for sure...I will have to meet them in the eye and talk with them again.
The truck soon left the scene leaving behind a trail of destruction and chaos no one could imagine.
The truck passed steadily between the streets and I could see through its narrow windows the traces of what happened before.
It was a very bad trip for my mind. But that also soon faded away as at some point I lost consciousness and handed myself to this deep sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The not-so-nice car trip ended with me in a deserted wasteland. I didn't know this place existed in the first place.
Imagine the stereotypical wasteland of the movies. This was a carbon copy of that.
When they pulled me out of the truck, I observed the new place I was in with fear and anxiety.
'What are they going to do to me? Will I die?' Such thoughts passed through my mind and made me even more fearful of what was about to come.
No matter how sinful I was or how much I blamed myself, no one could smile in front of a bad fate, could they? Even more so when the most horrible thing I saw until then was my cat getting killed in a car accident.
"Welcome to your new home, kid...You better be grateful that your head won't be sliced today...but that won't be for long." The woman from before addressed me suddenly. The weird smile on her face made her words even more cruel and malicious.
I gulped a mouthful of saliva inaudibly and looked ahead of me in pure silence. We were in the middle of nowhere so what did she mean by new home?
Turns out I was quite naïve as a moment later the earth started shaking and a huge hole in a square-shaped form appeared out of nowhere.
Inside, I saw long stairs that lead to an unknown place. I hesitated to go inside but the rough push from one of the soldiers made me go down with them. After a long trail of stairs, I found myself in what looked like a chemical lab.
"This is my lab and as you can see it's quite amazing isn't it." The woman who walked ahead of me spoke while pointing left and right as if she was a tour guide on a museum trip.
The lab was advanced and had all kinds of technologies that I saw before. Scientists passed beside us left and right as they ran in a hurry and didn't spare me even a glance. It seemed that people like me were not that uncommon in that place.
The woman spoke for a long time, praising her lab as if it was her own child, the ecstasy in her voice and the passion she had for her work was 'admirable' for the lack of a better word.
"Now, here we are...This will be your room...I'm not going to lie. It's not a 5-star hotel suite so bear with it."
The room she showed me was a small place made out of some soft white mattresses covering the whole room with no holes or windows. It reminded me of those asylums where crazy psychopaths were imprisoned. Not that I was any different in the eyes of this woman.
*Klack*
The guard then kicked me inside the room and proceeded to close the door.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself...My name is Eveline Truylin...Nice to meet you!" I saw the friendly smile on her face and the light waving of her hand while the door closed slowly. She was one peculiar person.
"Nice to meet you my ass!" I muttered while rubbing my aching body all over.
I didn't know how long I would stay there or what they would do to me. In normal circumstances, I would've been sent to the court and then straight to the guillotine. But I was sent to a laboratory instead. The most probable outcome is that I will go under experiments and examinations to discover what kind of mysterious thing I used to consume those people.
"What should I do now? I am lost." I muttered as I rested my back on the soft wall and fell into deep thought.
