Different

The Experiment

"Stop frightening her Sebastian, you know I forced her to do so," Adira suddenly appeared in front of me shielding me from his wrath.

"Y-yeah.... Yeah you can't hurt me for that, you know she made me do it." I quickly butted in to save my dear life.

"P-please just stop all this! You're all I have.... He's gone and he's never coming back, can't you just accept it and move on?" His voice broke as his sword slid down his hand and landed on the ground.

'Phew my life is saved,' I heaved a sigh of relief. 'But what's he talking about? Who's gone? I wanna ask but I don't wanna interrupt. It seems like their having a couple moment, another melodrama is about unfold. Why not I just sit back and enjoy, hehe.'

"NO! I.... I can't let his death be in vain Sebastian. I will find his killer and get revenge no matter the cost!" She tightened her fist as tears clouded her eyes.

"Even at the expense of your OWN life?"

"Yes. No. Matter. The. Cost." She firmly said.

He walked towards her and buried his face on her shoulders as tears escaped his eyes. "Please mom, I already lost dad, I... I can't loose you too." He mumbled but it was still audible enough for me to grab what he said.

Oh. My. God! Are you freaking kidding me?! T-that's his mother?!! Damn! I never expected that. Hold on a sec, that means, he was yelling at his mother all those times? Damn.... the boy got courage. Even I can't try that, haha how would I even know how my mom gonna react when I never even got the chance to meet her. I sighed as I stauched back the tears threatening to fall. What a pathetic world, isn't it?

"Ok that's enough already! Seems like y'all forgot I got a home to go to? And you still owe me an explanation, remember?"

"Yeah yeah, I.. I'm still gonna explain it all to you, just give me a minute." She sniffed and quickly wiped off her tears.

"You sure you can still do this Adira?" Sebastian rested her against a wall.

"Yeah I can, you just go home. I can handle everything from here on"

"Alright, I won't argue," he hugged her once more before he got up. "Love you honey"

"Love you too mom," he planted a kiss on her head before he turned around and left.

The scene before me took my breath away and also left me speechless. I couldn't help but think, 'How I wish I had a mom to tell me that.' I was lost in my own thoughts until Adira's voice reached my ears and I suddenly snapped back into reality. "Are you ok?" She asked which kinda surprised me. She seemed different from the playful, aggressive woman I had met earlier on.

"Yeah I'm good, sorry about your eyes, didn't mean to hurt you to that extent." A glint of guilt clouded my eyes. "No worries honey, I deserved it anyways, ok back to business. Before I start, I want to make sure you're fully ready to hear the whole truth?"

"Well duh why the h*ll did I agree to meet up with you in the first place." I rolled my eyes at her ridiculous question. "On second thought, I change my mind."

"What the!! Are you outta ya mind old hag! Why the sudden change of mind?! After all the f*cking things you've done to ME." My brows knotted in anger as I slammed my fist against the concrete wall out of frustration. "YOU almost murdered me! And you just get to decide when the deal's off?! Oh h*ll no. I ain't some kid you go f*cking around with, I'm a f*cking bad*ss b*tch!! Yeah just cause I can't beat you, doesn't mean you could treat me as sh*t OK?!"

"C'mon I was just pulling your legs ok? Did you really have to go all out on me like that. By the way, your languages are pretty offensive for a girl at your age. Didn't your mama ever teach you to respect your elders?" She folded her arms and stared at me expecting a response.

My lips parted but no words came out.

Her statement felt like a thorn thrown directly into heart, that it felt like my heart started to bleed.

'How could she say that, when she knows what happened to her!' I gritted my teeth and pulled her to her feet, almost tearing her collar.... I heard the slight rasp of material ripping.

"Tell. Me. What. The. H*ll. You. Know! Who. Are. My. F*cking. Parents!" I scowled at her while looking her dead in the eyes as anger surged through my veins.

"Oh honey, you don't expect me to tell you the truth just like that? You have to give something in order to get something," Adira said as the corner of her lips curved up into a smirk. "Then tell me what the h*ll you want!"

"Your heart." She answered, without hesitation.

I gasped as shock and fear engulfed my body.

"Hahaha just kidding, I'll tell you all I know. Many years ago, an organization conducted an experiment. They claimed the experiment would bring about the next generation of humans. A formula that would wipe out all illnesses, viruses, disabilities out of the system and also grant human special abilities. Millions of people volunteered for the experiment but only a few thousand were selected. They locked those few thousands in a large spacious room and exposed them to a gas of unknown substance. When the gas got into their system, they all choked to death but only one person survived, it was a little girl named Aurora! Your blood was announced to be the cure for all human diseases. Your blood, when injected into another person's body would not only get rid of any diseases but also grant them special abilities like abnormal strength, extended lifespan, red eyes and red hair. But there was one flaw in their experiment. Those who inhaled the gas would later end up losing their minds and going berserk. How can that happen? Excessive rage, excessive sadness. Any emotions that keep one on edge should be controlled or else the results would be disastrous. When one goes berserk, and doesn't calm down soon, the person goes ka-boom! Blows up."
