It was my fault! It was my fault?
All that had mostly happened was because of my own selfish actions, so that must mean it was my fault.
Clumps of blonde hair swirled around me reaching the cell floor. I had to calm down. Breathe. The illusions wore off on me hours ago. This cell, my prison had appeared as a pretty decent room, but my insanity took the better of it tearing the threads of the glamour into shreds and our reality revealed itself before me.
Arms and ankles chained to stone walls forced me to listen to Marina' s screams as she too learnt the ugly truth. I too had been branded. Who else was held in the cell equidistant to me as I was to her? Was there an 017? 018? I should've known; I brought them here, but I was just as clueless on this subject as all the other unfortunate souls.
Cell doors rattling in their hinges. Marina' s cries were just the beginning of insanity. I would know. Tears stung my eyes, though I shook them away.
Chains followed my footsteps as I lead my way to the wall opposite, where a pipe hung loose from a crack. I placed a broken nail, a bruised knuckle against the frozen metal. A short strand of blonde hair tucked behind a red ear attached itself to the pipe. Grey eyes closed, dark lashes brushing against the fresh winter frost.
Tap, tap....
How had the song gone again? Tap, tap, TAP, tap...
A rush of warmth ran thorough my spine as I remembered a time so peaceful. She sat in the music room, Isabella tapping chords on the grand piano, in her own world. A single salty tear trickled across my rosy cheek. Whenever she played the piano it was always so haunting. A lullaby. Isabella had told me when she became scared she would sing loudly, whether it was in tune or not it didn't matter, in light that whoever listened would join in.
Only vaguely could I remember the lyrics.
"Inside you....burning....extinguish...." tap, tap, tap. Foreign words: meaning unknown. But it was something mysterious. Tap, tap, TAP, tap.
I sank to the ground an imprint of the stone wall decorating my left cheek. A final cry from Marina greated by the holy silence. Insanity. My fault- it is my fault! I'm a monster: me and my mechanical heart, Experiment 016!
How did the last one go; the only one I could remember? I shouldn't have trusted the Government! I brought them here, the Commons. Me! Bring them here!
What was the line? The line? The line?!
My pacing heart slowed , stormy eyes tearing open.
Ah, I remember.
Tap.
A malicious grin formed across my dark face, "this is the moment for war..."
AN: What do you think? Do you likey? I noticed how near the end the paragraphs decrease in size. I'll just pretend I did that on purpose to show how the character becomes more and more insane and as a result blood thirsty. It's, in a way, the sequel to Experiment 015, so it may help to read that one first before this. Thanks for reading! ^^
I hope it's great! Anyways, let's see what we have right here..
