Chapter 8- More of us

GMN-1 woke up in that strange room for the third time but she wasn't the same. She had memories of her creation. It was like a pounding in her head, then she started seeing things. Things that weren't physical. She was seeing herself in a different place, a place much different than here. She told the females when they came to check her.

"They are memories" the one with the professional smile said.

She didn't understand how she could have memories, she wasn't exactly living. She was created in a lab, that much she could understand from her so called memories. She could sometimes see weird looking beings hovering around her, fixing parts of her body to make her whole. They were speaking a different language but she understood them. Could understand what they were saying. It was weird. She was still pondering over her newly found memories when the man in black walked in.

"We have to move! " he told the women. They gasped in surprise, nodded then left the room. He turned his attention to her.

"They are looking for you" he said

"Me? " she asked surprised

"Yes you. All of you" he replied. So they were more than one, just how many was made?.

"Why? "

"You are not of our world so naturally you'll have enemies. They know you are well... Still in existence, so they want to end you"

"I didn't do anything to them"

"They don't care and if you want to continue to exist you have to cooperate with us" he said taking a file that was left behind her. "Look, we don't have time. Ask your questions later. Right now we have to get you somewhere safe. Come"

She jumped up as if on automation. Hearing the words 'end you' had made whatever pumping in her body to accelerate. She wanted to get somewhere safe so she followed the man but he was so slow. It was as if he was pulling her back. She had the strangest urge to carry him and walk faster but he was bigger than her. On second thought she decided to try. She lifted him up. He was surprisingly light for his size. He seemed surprised.

"Which way? " she asked. He pointed ahead she took of in a rush, walking.

"Slow down! "

"Huh? " she didn't understand these species of beings. She stopped and put him down. He placed his hand on his chest trying to even out his breathing. She looked at him weirdly. He stood straight trying to compose himself. He pressed a button and the wall opened.

"An elevator " he said stepping inside. She stood at the threshold. "Hurry, it's safe" that was the only prompting she needed. She stepped close to him. He pressed another button and the door closed and the ground began to move. She panicked. He patted her hair.

"It's okay" he said and she calmed a little. She needed to get to that somewhere safe.

The door opened again and the man stepped out, she was right behind him. The wall closed again. Weird vehicle. Images of the ship her creators put her into flashed in her mind. She shrugged. It was obvious that her creators and these people were of different species but she didn't know where to classify herself. She followed close behind him till they came out to an open space. Everywhere was bright. Something was shining up. She looked up everything was white and blue with a yellow ball that seemed far away. She looked around she saw things parked. Some people were putting things into them. They seemed to be waiting for the man she came with.

"Is everything ready!? "He asked them. Some of them nodded while some others replied "yes sir"

"And the others? " he asked a man in particular. He moved aside and behind him where eight more people were wearing the same clothes she was wearing. They were standing together but weren't talking. The man she was following moved forward towards them but for some reason she remained where she was. He had gotten a few feet when he noticed that the girl wasn't behind him. He turned, she was standing still looking uncomfortable. Some things don't change. He thought to himself.

"GMN-1 come" he said but she didn't move

"Come and meet the rest of your kind. Survivors like you " he said. At that she moved but slowly. He led the way and stopped in front of the eight.

"GMN-2, 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 meet GMN-1" the man said and they all starred at each other.

"Hi" she said

"Hey " they chorused

This was awkward. She just found out today that she wasn't the only one. Now they were eight more and they were looking at her like the odd one. Most of them were older than her. They were a total of four girls and five boys including her. They just looked at her. She looked at them. There were two that were visibly younger than she was. The rest appeared to be older than her.

"Nice introduction but we need to get going "the man said and the eight chorused

"Yes sir! " and approached the weird looking things, opened the door and entered.

"Am I supposed to go in with them?" She asked the man. he nodded. She took a deep breathe and entered the weird looking vehicle. She had a feeling that she knew what this weird vehicle was. She tried to remember. Yes cars. They were cars. She entered and they adjusted for her. She sat close to the door. The girl next to her reached beside her and tapped something on the door.

"So where have you been? " one of the females asked her. She hadn't paid attention to them but now she turned to look at her. She looked at her, GMN-5 she remembered. She looked at her face. She was pretty in a weird way but so were the rest. She had brown her, blue eyes and something like a different skin on her face close to her ears. She looked human but then she wasn't, none of them were.

"In my room" she replied

"Why didn't they let you out" GMN-2, a boy asked.

"Hers was a very delicate case. She needed more time to fully recover " the man who had entered in the passenger seat said. He knew that he may have put her at a disadvantage making her appear either more injured or weaker than the rest.

"I just found out about you all today " she said.

"You know they want to kill us all? "GMN-2 asked

"I've been told" she replied

"Mr Deccan said we need to train to learn how to defend ourselves, how to fight back if we want to survive" GMN-5 said

"Mr Deccan? " she asked

"That would be me" the man on black said from the front. She nodded. He handed them an iPad. She wanted to ask what that was but he said.

"An iPad. Double tap the screen, it will bring you up to speed on our planet. There are cables called earphones put the buds in your ears for the audio information. We will begin the training once we settle. There are also some information we've learnt about you, some of them from you. Okay? " Mr Deccan said.

"Okay" they all replied except GMN-1. He wanted to comment but decided against it. He watched as they all plugged in their earphones and turned on their iPads before he turned raising the divider.
