Chapter Sixteen

I slump down onto my bed, worn out from the meeting with Commander Cheng, the first day of training, and convincing Grace not to leave. I hope that was the right decision—it has to be. I just need to work out how we can pass this darn trial.

Jesus, it's going to be hard enough just to get me through and now there is a whole group of us. What was I thinking?

My eyes are heavy from staring at the wall, but I am fearful of what I will see when I sleep.

I’m losing the battle, and my mind plunges into darkness.

My heart skips a beat. He’s here—Aaron’s here.

I run toward him, down the clinical white hallways of Sector 105. All I want is his arms to wrap around mine … him telling me everything will be all right.

An odd squeaking sound comes from his direction. My legs drive forward, quicker than my mind can register.

One of his hands is down at his side … it is wrapped around a mass of black hair.

My legs give way beneath me, slamming me to the cold white floor as I try to stop at the sight. Behind him is a crimson red trail of glimmering blood, obscured by the hall lights.

He is dragging a body.

It’s Lakia’s black hair.

He’s dragging Lakia’s body … The corners of his mouth curl upward as he smiles, revealing red splatters staining his white fangs.

I can’t get a grip on the glossy floor as I try to push my body up from it. It's like I’m treading water. I can’t move … Aaron’s getting closer.

Blood drips down his chin, staining the white floor.

“You’re next …” Aaron’s voice pierces my mind, dark and coarse.

That’s not his voice, I tell myself. It's not Aaron!

Turning my head away from Aaron, I see a silver gun on the floor.

I reach for it; Aaron starts to move towards me, fast. I push backward against the cold wall; I have nowhere to run.

Stretching my hands upward with the gun firmly between them, I point it toward Aaron; he drops Lakia’s lifeless body to the ground. Blood oozes out of the puncture wounds in her neck, her eyes are wide open, pierced with fear.

“Leave me alone,” I scream at Aaron. In a blink of my eyes he’s standing in front of me.

“I though you said you loved me?” Aaron asks, tilting his head as if I’ve upset him.

“Leave me alone,” I plead in between sobs, pointing the gun at him.

“Ha, you could never kill me.” Aaron laughs loudly, flashing his sharp fangs.

He’s right, I can’t kill him. My hands tremble uncontrollably as his roars of laughter vibrate through my bones.

I scream out. Lakia’s face is in front of me, with her fangs ready to bite into me.

A second later she’s lying back down on the floor, but now with a fresh bullet wound in the middle of her forehead, blood dripping down into her open eyes … I killed her ... I killed her.

My body thrashes from side to side.
