Genevieve
*THUG*
The sound of my head hitting the wall echoed through the silent room that was once full of eerie screams from earlier. I bumped my head on the wall again, this time with much more force than the first one, but it only caused the walls to crack, and I got frustrated when I didn't even feel any pain.
"Why..."
I pulled my hair in frustration, with my eyes squeezed shut.
I need to get out...
I suddenly felt an intense dizziness hit me like a wave, and the next thing I knew, I was outside the building on the back.
Did I just...teleport???
I groaned in frustration while crying and laughing at the same time.
I grope my hair and gaze up at the sky. "I must be going crazy."
I entered the forest behind the building to escape from anyone trying to find me.
I looked around frantically, my breath coming too fast. I'm surrounded by large trees, and I hear nothing but trees hitting each other with their branches.
"Surrender to me..."
I gasped and froze on the spot when I heard a creepy whisper, warm air brushing past my ears. My hands became uncontrollable once more and released that black liquid again, so I tried to squeeze my hands into a fist, but I just couldn't.
I covered my ears, losing my sanity more by feeling creeped out from the voices, and as I kept walking, the voices got louder, so I stopped to look around.
All my emotions burst out of me, causing me to scream and fall on my knees. Overwhelmed by the voice, I closed my eyes.
After what felt like a minute, I opened my eyes only to see those trees that surrounded me now getting submerged in the black liquid on the ground, my stomach twisted by the sight.
I ran to nowhere, feeling watched while still panicked. I could feel anything around me, my heart beating fast, the trees having energies that I can't even explain, but I could feel it.
As I kept running and was oblivious to reality, I stumbled upon a big mansion in front of me, and I saw lights on the window, meaning there were people, so I smiled in relief, but reality slapped me hard.
Oh yeah...I can't control my stupid ability.
I sighed and looked at the door, and when I was about to turn my back to walk away, I heard the door open.
"Genevieve..."
My eyes widened when I heard a familiar voice, and I immediately turned around to see Ethan standing in front of me.
My eyes began to sting as I looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Ethan...please...help me," I begged him, and tears began to stream down my face.
He held my shoulders and looked behind my back, and he pulled me inside.
"We thought something had happened to you. Are you ok? What happened in the experimental room? You were live broadcast worldwide, but the video cut down when you broke the glass." He said, flooding me with all his questions.
He offered me to sit down on the couch, and I sat beside him. I covered my face with my hands and started bawling my eyes out.
"I...I....I killed them." My voice cracked, and I felt a pang in my chest.
I heard Ethan gasp, and he became quiet. I could feel his stare at me like a judgment.
"It's not my fault..." My voice turned into a whisper as I began to feel hopeless.
I removed my hands from my face when I heard footsteps; it was Ivan. He just looked at me coldly and sat on another couch.
"Please...help me." My voice cracked while I begged Ethan. I can tell he was scared because I could literally feel his energy.
"Ok...we will," he said while holding my shoulder. I smiled at him and hugged him.
"You need to shower; you smell like blood and woods." I sighed and looked down at my feet before asking him.
I finally felt a little bit of relief, but the growing fear of killing someone again is still creeping in.
"Where's the shower?" I wiped my messy face full of tears and sweat.
"At the second-floor last door in the hallway, just beside Ivan's room, there are already towels there. The maids will give you some spare clothes when you're done." I thanked Ethan silently and went upstairs.
I walked down the hallway, and all the paintings caught my attention.
There's one painting of a full family; I think it's Ethan's family. His mom looks young and beautiful, while his dad is very handsome too.
No wonder Ethan and Ivan are both very handsome.
I looked around at the paintings until I reached the end of the hallway, and I took a glimpse of Ivan's room before entering the bathroom.
It looked like the bathroom was not even used because it looked so clean, the tiles are shiny, and so is everything in here.
I removed my clothes and placed them on the sink, and looked at myself in the mirror, only to be met by a figure of me looking different from my beautiful self.
My eyes widened when I saw red glowing lines all over my torso and thighs, all connected to my chest, which had a red glow in the middle.
My expression hardened, and I could feel my emotions slowly getting silenced by my brain.
I lay flat on the bathtub while the water faucet slowly filled the tub, and I closed my eyes.
Why me?
That question kept repeating in my head: why did I get picked to be experimented on? Why not others? I'm not even healthy.
As soon as the water filled the tub, I closed the faucet and submerged my body in the water, including my head.
"Use it..."
My eyes flashed open when I heard the whispers again, and I looked around; there was no one but me.
I look at my hands for a moment.
It's uncontrollable...
I slowly held the water faucet, and my eyes widened when a pure, glossy black liquid swallowed the faucet whole, causing it to disappear.
I looked at my hands and the wall where the faucet used to be in total disbelief. I immediately got out of the bathtub and grabbed the bathrobe to wrap myself.
I opened the bathroom door, and there was a maid who was about to knock. She smiled at me and offered me the clothes in her hands.
"Young master ordered me to make you wear this." The maid bowed to me, and I gently grabbed the clothes.
"Thank you." I closed the door and looked at myself in the mirror.
I'm still grateful that Ethan didn't get scared when I asked him to stay and let me hide.
I unfolded the clothes, and it was a normal t-shirt and a pair of shorts that were just the right size and length for me.
I wore the clothes, and I was surprised when they came with underwear and a bra inside the clothing, which perfectly suited my body.
I glanced at myself one more time, and I was about to open the door when I noticed the vein lines now in my hands up to my arms...They're red and glowing.
I held my hand and took a closer look; its color is pulsating, its glowing red inside me.
What's happening to me?
I left the bathroom and went back downstairs; there I saw Ethan and Ivan still sitting in the living room.
"Where can I sleep?" I caught Ivan's attention, and Ethan stood up from his seat.
"We agreed that you should sleep in Ivan's room since the guest rooms that we have are under renovation, and we're getting them fixed." I looked at Ivan, whose eyes were on me too.
"But where will he sleep?" I asked, feeling kind of uncomfortable about the fact that I'm going to sleep in his room.
"There's a couch in my room; you're going to sleep there," Ivan said in a cold tone and walked out of our sight.
"He's going out for now; don't worry about him," Ethan assured me, so I smiled at him, and I went upstairs.
I sighed before opening Ivan's room, and my nose inhaled Ivan's scent scattered around; it smells like mint with fruit.
I looked around; his room is just full of black and blue colors, and surprisingly, his room is very clean and looks appealing.
I jumped on his bed, forgetting what he said earlier, and I smiled. This feels so comfortable.
My eyes became heavy, and I let myself fall asleep.
"Surrender your mind and body..."
