Beyond The Wall

Introduction

Delta's POV

Waking up I feel my body ache, as soon as I remember those scenes I'm shaking down to the core. I can feel somebody's presence, I can hear them breathing. I open my eyes to see the intruder. With a gasp, I try to move away but there is no space where to move. In front of me, just beside the bed, stood a guy. He looked like he was about 25 years old, bright brown eyes stared at me, his short light brown hair was messed up and it reminded me of cappuccino color after you stirred it. God, I miss coffee so much. we keep staring at each other, I can feel myself blushing.

"Took you long enough," he said it looking annoyed by my sleeping. He started at me intensively. Should I respond? What should I say? God am I retarded? Where is my brain?

"mmmm.."- is all I can muster, I'm officially stupid. He is looking at me like I'm stupid. Putting the same pill and drink as I saw before on the coffee table he breaks the silence

" Listen, girl, this pill is all nutrients and proteins that you need, so you need to swallow it." he's looking at me intensively, I don't move or speak.

"swallow it now, or I'll force it down your throat, it won't be the first time!" he threatened, and once again I just stare at him silently. Who the hell is he to tell me what to do? He starts moving into my personal space, he's body is too close for my liking, he grabs me by the chin, forcing my mouth to open, and I do the only logical thing, of course, I try to bite his hand.

"Open it up rat!" Oh hell no, he did not just call me a rat. Who the f**k does he think he is? For five minutes he and I were wrestling and then he broke it off, it's like something stopped him. He moved to his previous position across me, giving me some distance in this little box. He closed and opened his eyes, for a moment it looked like he was trying to concentrate on something, and then he spoke gently and softly.

"Hello Delta, I'm sorry we started on the wrong foot. We don't want you to starve to death, so please take the pill, you will feel a lot better once you do."

His eyes made me trust in his words, he pleaded with them, it was almost like he wanted to apologize for his first approach to the situation. I'm still observing him, he sighs and stands up, and it's like he doesn't know what to do anymore. I take the pill from the table and swallow it with pink liquid. It doesn't taste like anything. He looks at me gratefully and turns to head for the locked door. I jump at my feet to follow him but he just pushes me back to the bed.

" What is your name?" I demand to know

His whole posture changes, he now seemed cold and distant, but he answers.

"You can call me X" he looks at me up and down and I feel uncomfortable "You will not be leaving this place soon, so you better get used to it fast." and with that, the locked door opened for him, but before I could jump up from the bed again and reach it, the door was closed.

I was so frustrated by this situation. I reply in my head the situation from before. What stuck the most from our brief introduction was "I'll force it down your throat, it won't be the first time!"

Did he or as he said they force those pills on me when I wasn't aware? I was pacing inside my little box in five steps I could get from one side of the room to the other. Screens around me lit up again showing me the outside, was this some kind of reward for taking the pill? It didn't feel like a reward more like a punishment. I could see the courtyard and the people moving in the distance, without thinking I started banging on the screens.

"Hey, I'm in here! Get me out!!" Nobody seems to notice anything I punch harder on the screen making it shatter a bit, my knuckles bled, and then the crazy idea popped into my head. If l hurt my hand bad enough they would have to take me to the doctor and that was my chance of escaping. I banged my already damaged hand into an already crushed screen. God, this hurts. But I kept going and then the door flew open.

X's POV

I was sitting in the office with the general, he asked me to be on a special task, at first I didn't want to do it, but since my father insisted I accepted. In front of me was the folder of a girl with brown hair, her name was Delta, no surname, she was twenty-two, and at college, they saw some kind of special potential in her. The general spoke

"Listen, boy, I want you on this 24/7. I trust that you can react in any kind of situation. We have installed cameras to keep an eye on her, we already started the experiment. You will gain her trust if you need to be her brother, boyfriend, whatever, you will be just that. Keep in mind you will not force yourself on her, let's make that clear. If you need to force-feed her the pills that's okay, she needs to get stronger and faster. We have to break her down so that we can rebuild. She will be one of the kind if we pull this off and I'm positive that will succeed. "

I nodded to everything he said. I was doing him a favor, not the other way around.

"What do I get from this?"

"You will go beyond the wall," he said firmly.

"How long?"

" We have one year." on that note I took the folder and left.

Once inside of my room, I looked at the pictures of the girl Delta, there was one of her smiling in front of the university, one with her brother that seemed familiar to me but couldn't place it, and one kissing some boy that also looked familiar to me. As I looked at the picture of her and the boy I could see that she was helplessly in love with him but the supposed boyfriend looked somewhat bored and forced to take a picture. She made my curiosity peek, but I pushed it down. This was a job, and it would get me out of this hell hole. When I met with the girls doctor she explained that the girl Delta was kept in the black box so that she can evolve herself beyond emotions and become the weapon for the upcoming war. I felt a bit sorry for her she was just a lab rat, an experiment that can be used.

I cleaned myself and changed clothes then I was off to her box, as I entered she was still asleep, she looked so peaceful unaware of what was going on. I stood across her, I could see that she was starting to wake up, but she was cautious. When her eyes met mine they glowed with hope, I pushed down all emotions. I couldn't let myself get attached to this girl.

"Took you long enough," I said it looking annoyed

"mmmm.."

" Listen, girl, this pill is all nutrients and proteins that you need, so you need to swallow it." I was firm with her, maybe more than I needed to be.

"swallow it now, or I'll force it down your throat, it won't be the first time!" I was giving her a pill down her throat when she first came in. She's not moving or saying anything, just looking at me with defiance. I start to move towards her, and she doesn't back away. I grab her by the chin, forcing her mouth to open, I was a bit more forceful than needed and this crazy girl tries to bite my hand.

"Open it up rat!" That slip-up. For five minutes we were wrestling and then I broke it off, I heard the general's voice in my ear to move away from her and try a different approach. I moved to my previous position across her. Leaning on the monitor wall I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to think of another approach, I concentrated on finding a solution that didn't involve me touching her, and then I spoke gently and softly. I tried to sound like I wanted her to be my friend.

"Hello Delta, I'm sorry we started on the wrong foot. We don't want you to starve to death, so please take the pill, you will feel a lot better once you do."

I could see behind her eyes that she was calculating the situation.

A few minutes pass by and I sigh and stand up, frustrated. To my surprise, she takes the pill from the table and swallows it. That was more than enough time together, I turn to head for the door. But she jumps at her feet to follow me and I quickly pushed her back to the bed.

" What is your name?" She demands to know.

I stand up straight but tense and look at her coldly

"You can call me X" She didn't need to know my name, I couldn't help but look at her figure, she looked pretty, girlfriend material, but then I remembered that she is just the job "You will not be leaving this place soon, so you better get used to it fast." and with that, I left the room before she can ask anything or try to get out.
