8. Lashell
Another fist hits my stomach and I can hardly breathe. Tears burn behind my eyes and all I can think about at the moment is Maysley. I try to call her name. 'Maysley, please...! Please, hear me!' I whisper, but that made it worse. 'She won't hear you. And on that note, she won't even try to rescue you. Cause she is just as a horrible sister as I am.' Jenna grins. I use all of my power, and pull off the ropes. Even though they cut into my skin, I didn't care. 'You're wrong! She would never do that!' I yell and try to fight her, but she hits me to the ground. She kneels down at me and I can see her vaguely. 'Do not think you are going to get out of here easily. And besides, this bullshit was all your own choice.' She laughs and stands up. 'Well, lucky you have your second simulation soon, so I don't have to beat you up.' She says and grabs me by my arms. 'Get up.' She says and leads me to the cells.
As usually she throws me into the cell and locks me in. 'You're more different than I thought you were. But don't you worry, we'll keep you here so you can't hurt anyone. Monster.' She says. I knew she was lying, but I started hesitating after the monster thing. Was I a monster? I mean, I literally almost killed Jenna. And... I got aggressive. But, does that say I am a monster? I bury my head in my hands. I am... a monster....
'How are you?' Rachel asks from the other cell. I shake my head. Normally I would say: 'I am fine, and you?' But now, I just shake my head. 'Are you okay, Lashell?' Rachel asks. I shake my head. 'Monster... I am a monster, Jenna told me. Please, stay away.' I say. 'Okay, calm down now, Lashell. What Jenna says is not true, you know that. Gosh, she traumatized you. That's all she does.' Rachel stands up in her cell. 'You are not a monster, Jenna is. She killed my whole family. You never did anything wrong.' 'I did. I... I...' I stutter. Rachel looks at me. 'What?' She asks. 'I... I killed Cole... Her boyfriend.' I stutter and lay down on the cold cell floor. 'Wait... Cole's dead?' Rachel asks from her cell. I nod slowly. 'And it's all my fault.' I answer. 'I bet, it's not your fault. I bet you were panicked.' Rachel says. 'I was not. I was on that point where I was freed. I killed him, because I really wanted to. Jenna was right, I am a monster.' I say. I know that on the other hand Rachel was right, but shooting Cole really made me a monster.
'Test Subject 29, get ready for your next simulation.' The voice through the intercom says. I get up. I had to. Even though I could kill myself with this shit. The guards took me by my arm and I let myself getting pulled.
'Well, we meet again.' Sheila says. 'Please, just... Start it.' I say. She nods and walks behind the glass. One of the guards connects me to the same computer as last time, and as normally I close my eyes.
This time, I am not far away from home. I am standing on the field next to the farmer's house, still in its same state. 'Lashell?' I hear a voice say. I turn around. 'Maysley!' I say. I want to run over to her, but I see terror into her eyes. 'Maysley, are you okay?' I ask. She heads back. 'Why would you do this?' She says with tears into her eyes. 'What?' I ask. She points at two bodies on the floor. Mom and dad. 'This. You did this. I saw you.' She cries. 'Maysley, it was not me. You know that.' I say. She shakes her head. 'Don't come any closer, please. You're a... You're a monster!' She says. My eyes become big and I look at the floor.. She won't ever say that to me. So why would she say it in the simulation? Because it was true?
I look up again. But now, not Maysley is standing there, but Jenna. 'Are you sad now, Lashell? Sad that your oh so beloved sister told you that you are a monster?' Jenna grins. 'She didn't. You did. And I believed it. You're the monster here.' I say. Jenna laughs. 'Don't think you can fight me, Lashell. You won't ever win.' She says. That's the point. I run over to Jenna and kick her in her stomach. 'Where are they?!' I yell. I kick Jenna in her stomach, but the only thing she does is laugh. 'What do you mean?' Jenna says in an sarcastic and arrogant way. 'You know who! Maysley, Rye and Clary of course!' I yell. Jenna laughs. 'Oh don't be stupid.' She says. 'You can't rescue them. Sheila always has a way to stop them.' 'Where are they then?' I ask. Jenna laughs. 'Your beloved sister Maysley Lavanchy didn't trust this thing here.' She says. 'She is right, I don't either.' I say. 'Well, what you didn't know is that she just can't stay away from you.' Jenna says. 'What do you mean?' I ask. 'Maysley is trying to find you. But don't you worry, she won't get in your way. We already took care of her.' Jenna says. 'Wait... what...' I say with big eyes. 'Yes, that's right. Well, I hope they did.' Jenna laughs. They did what...?! I get mad. Jenna and her friends got my friends in danger. I run over to her again and I hit her right in her face. 'It's never okay to hurt someone out of nothing!' I say. Jenna falls to the ground, and changes back into Maysley. 'M...Maysley?!' I say. Tears have gotten into my eyes. Wait, was she Jenna? Or Maysley? I look at my lifeless sister. I... I did this... I've beaten her to death. I fall down on my knees. My whole family was now laying down on the grass. All... Because of... M... No. Not me. All because of... Sheila.
