Chapter 6
3rd pov:
Seth walks down the twisted winding halls. A door appears and he knocks on it. A “come in” is heard and Seth opens the door. It’s the same office as before with the same man as before. “What do you want, Seth? You don’t usually visit me as often.” The man says with an annoyed undertone. “I want to quit,” Seth says. The man looks shocked, “why do you want to quit?” “Because I do.” “Where will you go after? You have been here for so long. Do you even know how to do anything else?” The man says with a condescending tone. “That’s for me to know and for you to not,” he says. They swap emotions. Now the man is annoyed and Seth isn’t. “Alright, just fill out these papers” the man says as he looks through the papers on his desk. He finds a pile and hands it to Seth. Seth takes the papers and leaves.
Ophelia’s pov:
Excitement and fear is consuming me. I rock back and forth in the silence trapped in my own mind. Too many flashbacks. I try to push them back in their cage that is at the back of my mind.
I hear the metal door open followed by the sound of footsteps. He walks over to his desk with a pile of papers in his hand. He sits down and starts working on the papers. Why does he have so many papers? Is it for my death certificate?
After what felt like forever he stands up and walks back out of the room with all those papers.
It’s so quiet here. All I hear is my own breathing. I lay on my back and look at the top of this little room within a room, It’s still a big room though. The top is smooth and even. I was going to roll to my side when I heard a ting sound. I sit up and look at the poles but there’s nothing there. Maybe I’m going crazy, but it sounded so real.
I stand up and walk to the poles. I look through them but see nothing. I turn around to sit back down but I hear another ting. What is that???
I don’t see anything. I look at the poles, I could probably fit through the bars. I would go through them but what if there are cameras hidden somewhere? I don't want to get in trouble, I don't think I've done anything wrong yet. I squeeze back into the room and go back to where I was sitting.
After a while I hear the giant metal door open. The man walks over to me, he looks mad. I subconsciously try to look smaller, it probably won't do much though.
"We can leave," he says.
3rd pov:
Seth walked back to the man's office with the paper. He puts the paper on the man's desk and the man looks at him. "So you actually quit?" The man looks at the papers then at Seth. "I told you," he says. "I didn't think you had it in you. Did you decide to quit because of that girl?" Seth looked at him. "What's so special about her anyways? She's just a human. And why do you care if the system messed up? There's a whole planet full of humans. It doesn't matter if one just dies." "Don't say that." " You're a weird one Seth. You actually care about pathetic humans. They can't even protect themselves from anything that isn't on their earth. They break so easily. So why do you care about one of them? I can snap her in half with a single punch." The man walks around the desk and gets right in front of Seth. "I would have thought you were a person if you didn't have those huge wings and tail, or those weird nails or horns or your sharp teeth like a vampire. Don't forget that your blood is black, you stick out like a creepy old person at a park." The man steps even closer to Seth so that he's right in his face. "You are as pathetic as humans, I'm surprised you even have the power that you do." The man smiles like he did nothing wrong. Seth tries his best to act calm but he looks mad, like really mad. He looks at his nails, he pokes himself in the arm to make sure that they are sharp. Blood comes out of the spot he poked so he looks back up at the man. "I have been wanting to do this to you all these years," he says. The man looked confused before his face went pale. Seth stabbed him in the neck. He pulls his hand back and sees the red. "Ew get your blood off of me" he rubs his bloody hands all over the man's shirt.
Seth's pov:
That fucking bastard. I walk out of the office and around the turns in the tunnels. After a minute or two I get to the room and open the door. I walk over to the cell and tell her that we can leave. She looks scared, why does she look scared?
I walk over to the desk and see if there is anything I should take. There's nothing.
I walk back over to Ophelia but she hasn't moved. Why is she not moving? Is there something wrong with me? I look at myself and see that jerks blood all over me. Maybe she's scared from all the blood.
"Come on Ophelia, don't you want to go to the house?" She looks at me and slowly nods. I pull open the cell door. It's not my problem anymore if it's broken. I walk to her until I'm in front of her and hold out a hand. She looks at it before she takes it and I pull her up.
"There's going to be a lot of walking to get out of here so get ready" I tell her.
