Free Nine

The White Room

She smiles kindly at me while asking, "How are you feeling today Nine?", the same question she asks me everyday. I smile back with the same answer I always give her, "The same as always Lola, just been reading the books you have given me". She gives me that sweet face she always shows me when we talk. Her blonde hair reaching her shoulders, with dark green eyes with a glowly brown circle like in the outer. The white dress that reaches to her knees with Clear white young skin that never looks like it will ever age, she looks like a princess in the many books I've read.

Lola begins to stand up, making me stop what I was thinking and look up. "Are we going to the big room?" even though I already knew what the answer was going to be. "Yes we are but this time it's going to be a little different" I was confused, what is going to be different now? Nothing has ever became "different", it has always been the same for me. Lola noticed my confusion and spoke up, "You are going to be doing the same thing like you usually do but this time someone else is going to be in the room watching you. It won't just be me". Another person? I was even more confused, something I never felt before and a feeling I didn't like. "May I ask why we are doing this"? All Lola did was smile and say "to see if you are worthy" and opened the door the white door, waiting for me to follow.

I follow out and walk out to the dark hallway, walking behind her in silence. As we make it to the big room I see all the weapons out and a woman standing next to them. Long firey red hair, crimson red lips, and green eyes that has seen blood but was never fased. Seeing this womans grin towards me made me stand stall, showing no fear for her. Lola stands next to the woman and happily says "Nine this is Margo Greenwood, she will be watching you to see what you can do". It was weird to see another person that wasn't Lola but I wasn't gonna hold back on what I could do. Margo shows a grin following with, "show me what you can do".

I walk over to where all the weapons are, guns, blades, and more. I grab a bow and a couple of arrows and grab a small blade. I was thinking of grabbing a sword but I wanted to show what I could do from being far away from my enemy and how great my aim was. I see Lola and Greenwood make their way to the second floor to get a better view of my skill, I made a promise to myself right then and there I was not going to disappoint Lola and would not disapoint Greenwood.

I walk over to my position and take breath, relaxing my body. Some of the lights turn off and becomes smokey. I first make my way to wall quitely, readying my bow. I look out and see two light blue figures or called Deita, standing guard. Another Deita on top of a block shape holding a gun, keeping watch. One more on the ground walking around the block. I decide to take the one on the roof first so the others wouldn't notice. I quickly peek out and shoot the Deita in the head and go back to hiding. I roll to another wall closer to the enemies and peek out to see which one to kill next. The Deita walking around starts walking around the block, knowing this was the perfect time the silence the other two. I roll out and with speed shoot them both in the head and run to the block with my knife, waiting for it to appear from the corner. As soon as He does I grab it from behind, choking it so it drops it's gun and I slice it's throat.

More tests happen to show Greenwood the things I can do and each time a trial was finished I would look at her and see her smiling, looking pleased and impressed. Once I was done both Lola and Greenwood came down to talk to me. "Well done Nine, I already knew you do it" Lola says with her welcoming smile. I give a serious and concentrated look, wanting to show Greenwood that whatever she wanted me for I would take the mission as importance and can be trusted. I look at her, waiting for her response. "From what I've seen from you just now I can tell you show great promise for us all". I was about to say thank you but then she goes on to say "But I need you to do one more thing for me please". I almost wanted to laugh, what more did I have to show I was qualified for anything. She gives Lola a look, making Lola nod her head and walk to the door.

Greenwood starts walking side to side and says "Have you ever killed a human being Nine?" with a curiosity look. I reply with "No greenwood. The only human beings I have ever seen has been you and Lola". She stops and smiles at me and says "Well that changes today" and looks over my shoulder, making me turn around. Lola brings in a woman with dirty clothes, dark hair and red tearful brown eyes all tied up. The woman is franticly screaming, yelling things, "Please don't kill me", "I don't want to die", and "I have a kid".

Lola puts a small towel over her mouth to stop her from yelling, who is this woman? I wasn't given that much time to ask when Greenwood started talking. She put her hand on my shoulder and says "Now that I know you have the skill I need to see that you are with me and not against me". I almost scoff at what she says, "But I am on your side Greenwood". Even though this was my first meeting with her Lola always told me one day I would be needed, this was the day. Greenwood then hands me gun and says "Then prove it. Kill this woman right here. She was caught trying to find information about us. She is MY enemy, which makes her your enemy. Kill her". I could tell by her voice that she was excited, her eyes were glowing with thrill on what I was going to do.

I walk up to the woman and remove the towel, letting her breathe for a moment. Lola moves and goes to stand next to Greenwood. I start to examine her face, I want to remember what this woman looked like, I wanted to remember my first kill. This moment right here was going to change my life forever and I was prepared. Her dark brown puffy eyes from crying and her dirtied body from exhaustion. She was not a she, she was an it that didn't follow the law. I then aim the gun at her head, not blinking for a second. The woman looks at me and says "Please don't, I have a daughter to get back to an-", I interrupted by saying "You talk too much" and pulled the trigger.

It falls to the ground, surrounded by it's own blood. I could hear Greenwood laughing in excitement and Lola standing still, not saying anything. Greenwood gets closer to me and says "You didn't hesitate" with a curiosity grin. I kept looking at the lifeless corpse and just said "It was our enemy, it had to be killed".
