Number One let the energy surge through him as he lay on his bed. He relished the feeling of power as it pulsed through him. Where it had made Number Fourteen seem jittery and anxious, it soothed Number One, like rolling over ocean waves on a clear day. Powerful was something he had not felt in a very long time. He jealously hoarded the feeling, even as the energy dissipated, radiating into the air. He couldn’t hold it forever.

Fear crept in at the margins. They would take it from him if they knew. His implant prickled and he resisted the urge to try to pull it out. With as much power as he held, perhaps he would be successful this time. Worry began to sour his exhilaration as he imagined Sindre striding into his room. She would incapacitate him and leave him paralyzed on the floor, his mind a torrent of hatred and terror. He didn’t know what would happen if he ripped the implant from his neck, but he realized he feared Sindre’s punishment more than he feared the possibility of it killing him.

He let out a slow breath and recalled the face he had seen through Number Fourteen. His body relaxed as he imagined her. He saw her eyes crinkle and her lips draw up in a smile. Warmth spread over him and something awoke deep inside. He thought of her, this woman from Fourteen’s mind, and felt something entirely foreign blossom inside. It was a feeling as unfamiliar as it was unmistakable.

He loved her.
