Chapter 61: 100
"100…"
"100…"
'what's that sound? Who's calling? 100? What's that?'
I thought as I opened my eyes reflexively and a bright light blinded my eyes.
"Welcome 100 I am doctor Antuanette Baveron, how are you feeling?"
My first memories in this world were quite confusing, blinding light, doctor Baveron and an abundant amount of knowledge that flooded my mind.
It was my first day in the world but I already knew I was different.
Few weeks have passed since my awakening. The place I was born was called 'base zero'. Doctor Baveron said that It is a laboratory for special children like me. She said that I was AI or Artificial Intelligence. I was made in this lab and I was the last child on 'base zero', my name is 100.
My creator Is the head doctor of this facility, doctor Andrew Ilyin. He is a tall middle-aged man with long brown hair, a lean figure, and purple eyes. His skin has turned sickly white because of being indoors all the time. He would be quite handsome if not for his unkempt beard and sunken eyes. He always wore glasses and had an obsession with wearing turtlenecks.
A few days ago I met the other members of the lab, I mean other children. We were all called into the cafeteria. Both Dr. Baveron and Dr. Ilyin were there with many other doctors as well as the guards.
"From now on you will no longer have to stay in your rooms. You will be divided into teams, you will train and when ready you will go on missions." Said Dr.Ilyin.
Finally, we were divided into 10 groups. I was in the 7th team together with 10 other children, yes 10.
Children in the Lab were named numbers from 0 to 100 and they all had it tattooed on their necks but 0 was different from everyone else 0 wasn't only one person they were twins, sisters.
All the children here looked about 5-6 years old and so did I. I had ash-blond hair, lavender-colored eyes, and a chubby round face combined with my large eyes.
Twins 0 and 0 were very cute, they both had large and sparkly golden eyes and red hair combined with light freckles and a cute button nose.
The other members of our team were:
3, an outgoing boy with dark black hair, orange eyes, and a brave spirit, for some reason he was carrying a wooden sword everywhere. Even in the toilet, he said that you never know when you might need it.
9, a shy girl with pigtails and a floral dress, She had a bubblegum-pink hair and olive-green eyes. She didn't talk much after the introduction and just stood there looking at her feet.
11, a skinny boy with glasses, mulberry-colored hair, and eyes. He seemed smart but that was just an illusion from the glasses.
24, a quiet boy, that could only be described as beautiful. He had fair skin, dark blue hair, and beautiful teal-colored eyes with his quiet personality he could easily be mistaken for a shy girl
30, a boy with brown hair and gray eyes, he also had a very outgoing personality and quickly became best friends with 3.
36, he was a cute chubby boy who had an impressive skill of always being asleep even when he stood or walked. He was always hugging a huge teddy bear and didn't have a care for the world.
49 quickly became a big brother to everyone in the group, he was serious and took care of everyone. He also had peached-colored eyes and black hair and a serious personality and didn't smile much.
If 49 was a big brother then 67 was a big sister to everyone and not just in our group but in other teams as well. She quickly made connections and took a few weaker and shy kids under her wings. Her orange hair and indigo-colored eyes made a beautiful contrast and highlighted her personality.
49 and 67 aside 81 was a real mother material, no grandmother material. He made sure everyone ate well, dressed well, was clean, and didn't lack anything, and even though he had a soft personality you really didn't want to cross that line.
Years passed in the lab as we trained and trained. we all became closer and were now like one family.
But one day it all changed. As we were having our routine training 30 came running in, like his life depended on it.
"We are going…" he said, trying to catch his breath.
"What?" Asked 81 not understanding what he meant.
"We are going on a mission," He said finally.
At that moment we were all excited, happy. For the first time, we would be leaving the base. We couldn't help but look forward to our future. We were 14 then, we didn't know what fear, what darkness was. We were naive and so trusting.
If only… If only we knew that things would never be the same. If only we knew how bitter the taste of the loss was.
As we proudly stood before Dr. Ilyin and received our instructions blinded by the arrogance and expectations that were bound to crumble.
The color of blood never leaving our sigh, cheerful smiles turned bloody, loving brothers and sisters were turned into dismembered bodies.
Backs we trusted each other were pierced by knives, haunted by the demons day and night.
I remember running, that bloody picture will never leave my mind as I carried her in my arms, blood was dripping from her open wounds. She was my only light into the darkness we never knew we were in until that day.
At Axis city
"Aghhhhhh…."
I suddenly opened my eyes, seeing the familiar dark room of the inn comforted me as I felt the wet clothes on my body soaked from my sweat.
It's been a while since I've dreamed about the past, about them. After all, it's been a while since I was able to control my own body.
I don't even know how many years have passed since then. Suddenly the door to the room opened and a man walked in.
"Victor, what happened? We heard a shout?" Said the man with golden eyes.
"I'm fine Leonie," I said to the man as I stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up and change my clothes.
As I looked into the mirror I gathered my hair and looked at my neck '100' was tattooed on it.
'I finally had control of my body back'
