Code: Error (discontinued)

* ~ Chapter 11 ~ *

"How old were you when you were brought into the laboratory?"

"About six months old."

"HUH?! WHAT?!"

"Listen, my family never meant to. The person who ran the place- I forgot their name- tricked my family into thinking it was a school and tried desperately to get me back. But during my stay, there was so much crap done to me. And I was even enhanced. You saw my enhancements. I know yours. Because you're the most dangerous experiment. You're the one people have been looking for."

I grew shocked. So everything I saw, everything I researched... it was all real. The more I listened, the more... afraid I grew. No way this is real, I thought. No. Crapping. Way.

"You're being for real? YOU'RE SAYING I WAS AT THE LAB?!" The look of disturbance on my face was so surreal. Not even I could believe it. "But... I thought my life was completely normal. I'm the dangerous experiment? Oh fuck, I knew I was an error, but not by this much! The fact you even KNOW of my existence... but if I'm the most known test subject slash experiment, then it is what it is. Am I even safe anymore?! What's going to happen to me?! Will we find the lab?"

"Jesus, you're quite the chatterbox, I presume." Dai was chuckling. "But yeah. You were classified the most worthy and you were given the enchacements... at that point you weren't even considered human anymore! But, I'm glad you're free. I escaped years ago, I was never found." He took a breath. "My serial number was . I know yours. I said this earlier, I'll say it again. Basically, you're Experiment 999-999."

At that moment, I thought my heart skipped several beats.

I can't believe this.

"We're finding that lab. I don't care anymore. I want to find it."

"I'm in," said Dai. "We're finding out more."

"Dexter and Charlie are already coming. Bring Keiko. From what I know, she's pretty damn good with escape plans. So if we need a way to make it out, we need her."

"Okay. She'll be coming with."

.......

Later as I returned home, Ate saw me visibly shaken up. "Ronnie, what's wrong?" she asked me, as I walked up to her and hugged her. I looked up at her with puppy eyes. "Did you show your powers again?" I shook my head no. That's when she REALLY started to look distraught. "No..."

I tilted my head, which is normal for me because I always do that whenever I'm confused. She was staring ahead, still visibly shattered. "You know too much now. I don't know if this is good or bad."

Suddenly the phone rang, jumpscaring us AGAIN. Why does this keep happening to us?! Oh wait, maybe my dumbass sister shouldn't have her phone on FULL BLAST! She answered the phone as it was our mom.

"Mom what is it?"

"Ky, Ron, we won't be home until later. Unfortunately, a business trip came up that we have to attend. Take care of each other, okay?"

"Where's dad?"

"Taking a 5 minutes long piss."

"Okay... we did not need to know that." I spouted. Despite this, I was trying my best to stifle my laughter.

"Wait one second... Alon! Al, get out of the bathroom! I'm back. He's coming."

Dad then came into the phone. "Hey chicks, we're about to go now."

"Sige na." my sister and I said.

Ate looked at me for a split second before looking away. "Aalagaan ko si Ronnie."

I giggled heartily. "At tiyak na aalagaan ko ang aking sarili. Sampu na ako ngayon, siguradong kaya ko nang mag-isa. Nakikita nyo na yan."

"Sige. Kailagan na nating pumunta ngayon." My mom sounded like she legitimately did not want to do this.

"Oo, pareho kaming ayaw gawin ito. Ngunit ito ay aming trabaho. Kaya, magkikita tayo sa isang linggo o dalawa. Paalam!"

"Paalam." We spoke this out in unison and they hung up afterwards.

Ate then sighed. "You know too much. This won't be good for us."

.....

That night, Ate woke me up.

"You're in danger, Ronnie." Ate grabbed my hand. "Run."

We bolted out of the house with cars and shit following us.

We were running, looking to make sure we lost the lingering vehicles. "Split up!"

I ran as fast as I could. I don't want to die right now! I'm just 10, and she's 17!

Eventually, I seemed to have been caught.

"ATE! HELP ME!"

"NO!" I screeched. "Fuck. A nightmare. I rarely have those, and now I just sounded like a bitch." Short ass nightmare though.

Later, at about 12:30 PM, me and Charlie went out to the mall. We both decided that we would just walk around and probably buy things. I was bored today, so why not?

After we got Taylor Swift's TTPD CD and vinyl record, we went home.

"You know too much."

That thought still lingered in my head.

"You know too much."

Soon enough, I'll know everything.

........

Later, I was walking through the woods. It was 7 PM, it was a little cold right now. Thank goodness for the rainbow chullo I was wearing and my TTPD cardigan. But I was hearing voices.

"I see a little girl."

"That's probably Expt. 999-999."

"Nah, doesn't look like it. Let her be."

I just stood and listened.

"How are we too sure about that? Look at how vibrant the red hair is!"

"It's so wavy, looks like a curly mix."

"Wow bitch, how UTTERLY MIND BLOWING!" That tone sounded sarcastic, and I was holding in my laughter. But I kept listening.

"We'll keep looking. If we find her, we may just... do something."

Huh? What is that something? Are they going to tortue me? Inhumane methods of tortue take place there, especially to stronger test subjects. But if they find out I'm the experiment supposedly on the run, and they catch me... what will happen with my life? I still vividly remember my parents saying Ate would be alone again, and that I could never be seen again. Most importantly, I also overheard that "they may take me back there."

Am I even safe anymore...?

How am I going to continue on living like this...?
