Initiating Plans
Saomi's POV
~Saomi's thoughts~
I'm gonna stop consuming or injecting the meds for a while as long enough so my possible powers may show it's true form in me ( which sounds weird). I just need to know if I'm really inhuman and if I am, I need to find out what I am really fast before I run out of time.
The only problem I have right now is the side effects that I'm about to experience from this first-hand scientific observation. I'm gonna have to skip school for a couple days, but I have to pretend as if I'm actually going to keep suspicion of my back so I can learn to harness and control these powers without the meds.
I also have another theory about these medications that Hemric is creating, I have this weird suspicion that they have something to do with me not remember a few memories of my childhood, I can only remember a few fragments, with that being said if the these medications are the problem, my plan is supposed to help and fix that issue.
~Saomi's Pov~
Saomi: I'll start to tomorrow, I said to myself
Saomi: This is gonna be-
I was cut off by mom telling me something.
Saomi's Mom: Hemric's here!!, her mom yelled.
I finished my statement saying...
Saomi: -Great, I said in an exhausted way.
Saomi: I'll get down there soon!, I shouted while looking at the floor as if I was looking downstairs.
~ Saomi's Thoughts ~
Crap!!!
Hemric's here!!
I need to act like I know nothing about the medical upgrade he has new for me.
~When I got downstairs~
Saomi: Oh...hey, Hemric....why are you here?, Saomi asked surprisingly unnoticeable by her mom or Hemric.
Hemric: I'm just here to give you your meds... you do remember that they ran out, right? Hemric asked.
Saomi: Yeahhhh..., Saomi said, looking at her mom and Hemric in a suspicious way for seconds, then went on to say.
Saomi: So where are they?, Saomi asked.
Hemric: Just so you know, these meds are different from the ones you usually take, Hemric said.
Saomi: What do you mean, Saomi asked?
Hemric: They aren't tablets or pills anymore...., they're serums," he said.
Saomi: As in...serums you consume like liquid medicine, Saomi asked as if she was interrogating Hemric's soul.
Hemic let out a sigh before saying before saying...
Hemric: No... It's the one you... the one you inject yourself with, he said.
Saomi: Oh... I see... but why the strange upgrade? What if I have a phobia for needles, What exactly are in these serum stuff that you "BOTH" want to use to "INJECT!!!" myself with?," she asked convincingly, faking her little "panicking episode".
Saomi's Mom: Calm down Saomi, Saomi's Mom said.
Saomi: Why should I calm down, huh? Why should I even listen to anything you say Hemric?, you're not even a real doctor!!! For all I know, you probably don't even know what the hell you're making to give me to consume. How the hell do I know I'm not being drugged or something , huh? She asked, making her emotions convincing a bit, but still having her plan in mind.
Hemric: Saomi... I would never do that to you and I am a real doctor, I just didn't want to tell you,I work at a clinic not too far from here, I just...didn't want you to know, he said as if he was trying to prove to her that what he's saying is true.
Hemic shifted towards Saomi so he could hug her, but she took a step back.
Saomi: I... believe you and I'm sorry for what I said. I'll...I'll take the syrums, "she said, looking at Hemric and her mom in an "apologetic" way.
Hemric: Well, here they are- Take a look.
Saomi took up one of the serum viles and examined it interrogatively.
Saomi: They're glowing...blue...why?, she said, moving her attention from the vile in her hand to Hemric's face.
Hemric: That's just an adjustment incase on of them goes stale, when its blue like how it is right now, that means its safe to consume, on the other hand if its red, that means it's expired.
Saomi: Oh... I get it. I'll just take these up to my room then, see ya whenever Hemric!
~When Saomi was in her room alone~
Well, that was quite the show. There's no way I'm taking these.
So firstly, I need to find a way to get rid of this stuff .
Well I can probably trash them whenever I get to school or go to one of those recycling dumps everyday, but I also have to make sure I get rid of the serum itself and make sure I rinse the viles thoroughly before disposing of them.
Soami: Okay, she says, then sighs afterward.
Saomi: That's a good plan for now. Until I can improvise, she said in belief.
~Later that day; about 6 pm
Saomi began to feel weary and dizzy as if she was losing her consciousness, so she started to motivate herself to go through this.
Saomi: I can do this! This will be fine! All I need to do is to act as if it doesn't affect me, she said, pacing around her room.
At this time, Saomi was sweating from head to toe when her mom knocked on the door.
Saomi's mom: Hey Omi, you've been in your room for so long, its dinner time hun.
Saomi: Oh, sorry mom, I was kinda just heading to the shower for a bath, I lost track of time, and she managed to stammer out.
Soami's mom: Oh... Okay! Just be down at the dinner table by 7 okay?, her mom asked.
Saomi: Sure thing, mom.
Great! That's a good amount of time. I just need to stop sweating and hit the shower.
~After Saomi took a shower and got dressed~
When Saomi got downstairs, she realized that her mother had already had her dinner without her, so Saomi had just started to eat her dinner at the dinner table while she was thoughtfully active in plotting a plan.
This won't work. It's been about four hours; tops. Things have changed, I don't think I can hold this out for five days; maybe three, but five? Five would be a long kick of a football from one goal post to another in a football game without any of the players on the field intervening with the ball in the end just for the ball to roll away from the direction of the goal. Just like this situation, something bad will happen within so much time. Something will intervene. This is already painful as it is.
At this moment, Saomi dropped her fork and fell off her chair sideways, meeting the ground. She broke her fall by landing on her knees quietly, wincing in pain so her mother wouldn't hear her. The cause of this sudden monstrosity was the feeling as though needles were piercing her from the inside of her lungs, and she also felt as though she would die from the mayhem happening within her chest.
The worst part is...it didn't stop there.
Small objects began to float in a circular motion in the dining room. Without a second thought, Saomi grabbed her phone that had just started to float so it wouldn't float any higher. When she saw her reflection on the face of the phone, it was just as she predicted, her eyes glowing purple.
So I wasn't hallucinating. It was real. I'm real.
Slowly, her breathing got back to normal, but with every pain wave, there's always an after effect. All the objects around her fell on the floor, making a huge commotion and again... She was sweating from head to toe, and her eyes were back to normal. Suddenly, Saomi's Mom barged into the living room. She believed...no...she knew Saomi caused this mess that she was looking at. Though, in reality, the mess was caused due to uncontrollable events, Saomi couldn't tell her dear "mother" that. Would she?
Saomi's Mom: Saomi!! What have you done?, she asked horrified.
Saomi: Well...um...I...The problem is...It's just thatttt..., "Saomi said, full-on panicking.
While she was stammering to find the right words the right words to explain to her mother why she did what she did, her mother drew her away from her thoughts telling her "You know what?, i don't even want to know why you did this, just clean it up."
Saomi: Yes, mom.
~ le time skip to after Saomi took a shower and get dressed yet again~
It's time I watch Stranger Things and just hit the hay. Tomorrow, hopefully, this situation will be better.
~Tomorrow morning, around 5 am~
Saomi's POV
Couldn't sleep...
Saomi: So, I have powers (still so very weird). And their hurting. I wonder why? I'm being drugged (or was, about 20+ hours sober). I wonder what's in these serum stuff? I'm being hidden. I wonder why I'm being hidden?
the truth
ThE tRutH
The Truth
I NEED THE TRUTH!!!
There are so many questions I could ask, but no answers will be received.
It's time I went out into the actual field and did some research on my own.
In this very time period that I'm mentally, physically, and emotionally being swallowed up inside out by my thoughts, my consciousness had been diverted to notice the unnoticeable. Someone's downstairs. No. There's two. I can hear voices. It's quite blatant that these voices are speaking in a hushed tone. The voices are so hushed that if I hadn't stopped what I was doing completely, I wouldn't have heard a thing.
Not wanting to be out of the loop about secrets that are about ME and my LIFE, I tiptoed halfway downstairs, The voices are in the living room. I sneakily stood at the edge of the doorway of the living room, collecting the necessary intel. Hemric and my mom were having quite an engaging conversation.
Saomi's mom: So, what did she call you tell you about? And why is it so much of a big deal to visit me this time in the early morning? Did it ever occur to you that you could have told me later today? ...when Saomi would be at school?
Hemric: What I'm here to tell you about can't wait. I think Saomi is in danger.
Damn! Is it that bad?
Saomi's mom: WHAT!!?, whispering aggressively.
Saomi's mom: There's no way he found us. How did she get this information? What's his plan?
Who is "she"?
What's the plan?
Hemric: First calm down, he didn't find us, he's planning something, yes. Oh, and your bestie's the one who told me.
Saomi's Mom: What kind of danger is it
Hemric: It's not a pleasant to the ears though, Mr Black...he's been making a few improvisions since Saomi's leaving, I mean...your boyfriend and his cousin did try to stop it but failed.
Saomi's mom grumbled under her breath, "He's not my boyfriend."
She has a boyfriend?
Who the hell is that?
Hemric: Long story short, he's found quite the suitable replacement for Saomi, and I'm convinced that he's already figured out that she was stolen, kidnapped, or whatever. And to make this any shorter, he's planning to send her after Saomi. She doesn't have half the number of powers Saomi has, but they are still the dominating type, and when they find Saomi-
Saomi's mom: IF! Say if!
Hemric: IF they find Saomi, with the help of that girl, they're planning to do some real damage. So...I thought and I know you might say no, but I'll suggest it anyway. I think it's about time we told Saomi the truth and train her to beat that old man!
Saomi's mom: And I'm saying NO!!...of course I am. This is too dangerous. She's not ready.
At least someone cares about my safety.
Hemric: But it would only make sense that we do, he said convincingly.
Saomi: Does he have the slightest clue as to where we might be?
Hemric: No, not yet, at least, he's been searching for us both night and day since recently. It's thanks to you that our tracks were so neatly covered.
Saomi's mom: And when he finds us, his first plan is to?
Hemric: Get Saomi on his side, kill us, and we both know what happens after that.
Saomi's mom: World Domination.
Hemric: So, what are we gonna do? What's the plan commando?
Saomi's mom: Well.. thank God we wiped her memory when she was two, because right now, her photographic memory would be a big problem. The plan for now is to keep this under the pile of rope, so no one knows about it, and I'll figure something out soon, but be warned, we might need some new recruits.
I was scammed of my own memory?
No wonder my life is so confusing.
FLASHBACK
"We ran away from India to live in L.A. just for her to have a normal life, for 16 years, 16 years!!!, and you arne't going to ruin that plan, agreed?"
END OF FLASHBACK
After I believed I had heard everything I needed to hear, I began to sneak back to my room, not caring what other "mind-blowing" information they had to discuss. I had too much of that for one night.
~Later that day~
I only slept for two hours because I have to follow the plan; pretending I'm going to I'm not. I did my regular school day routine and drove somewhere other than the learning institution I attend. I had to tell Shane I had to leave to go visit my aunt Merdy for five days. Even her's not related to me by blood: neither my mom. It didn't take me too long to figure out. I don't like lying to my boyfriend. But in this situation, where exactly was the choice? This... me... everything is getting worse by the second, the minute, the hour even worse by the day. If people are involved, they could get in danger. I even had to tell Amery and Emery the same thing I told Shane.
I...I don't want anyone important to me to die. Even if my "mom" saved/rescued/stole; whatever it may be from this, Mr. Black, based on her and Hemric's conversations, I think its for good reason, also thus being the reason I still feel as though they betrayed me for 14 years. In quite contrast of the current situation but still revolving around it is to finally spy on Hemric and actually get some first hand visualisations of what chemical stuff he's been brewing up for me in the form of "medical serums". I'm good at chemistry anyway. The other thing about Hemric is in the past few years I've known him, he always talks to himself when he's doing something scientific as if it is a way to guide himself into what he's really going to achieve. Basically, the point is I'll easily know the stuff he's using. BEcause he's gonna tell them to me without even knowing.
In order to completely do that, I need to go out in incognito and change my identity. There's also another thing that can help me. A little gadget that can help me find my target.
MISSING SCENE FROM THIS MORNING
While I was going back to my room, I saw a familiar bag that Hemric always wears, so I thought why not give Amery's tracker gift that she gave to me forever ago and put it to some good use. So I placed it on the bottom of his bag and immediately got access to his location.
Haha...I did that like a pro...it was easy
I'm not gonna lie
Saomi: So I have tabs on the target, I said, smirking to myself.
It's time to find my deepest, darkest secrets...
