Chapter 40

Riley woke up in a very strange situation. she was looking down at the ground and the ground was moving. this was very odd. she closed her eyes and opened them again to see the same thing. why was the ground moving? she raised her head and it became clear to her that the ground wasn't moving but she was. she was been grabbed past the hallway by two guards. where were they taking her? she wanted to react but felt so weak, completely drained. " what the fuck " she whispered

they dragged her to the main lab and entered one of them, where Linda and Wilson waited patiently for them. one of the guards carried her and place them gently on the patient bed. With a weak gaze, she watched as they wrapped the belt around her wrists and legs connecting her to the bed. Wilson stood above her with a smile " Good Morning princess "

" wh...what are you doing" her voice came out weak

" your training begins today " he turns to Lisa who just walked in " take off the bracelet "

" Ok " Lisa removed the bracelet. Riley felt like a serious burden was taken off her and a gaze escaped her lips

" oh princess " he adjusted her messy hair " it's not easy with that bracelet on, is it?"

" where is Aiden" using her eyes to scan the place, trying to find Aiden. " what did you do to him "

" he is alright. while he recovers, it will give us time to get you ready "

" Ready for what?" her tone was calm but had a little bit of curiosity in it

" Ready for the reason you were made. it turns out Aiden gave you a few lessons before you arrived. just the basics but very important ones, he made work easy for us. now we are going to the main game " smiling

" what is that "

" you are going to learn how to control things in a different location from where you are. sounds impossible right? we will make it possible. but first, you are going somewhere " he turns around " we begin now " he announced and they began

**In Her consciousness**

She opened her eyes to find herself in the middle of nowhere. just darkness, nothing in sight. no sign of existence, just her alone. " what the fuck " whispering to herself. looking around. where the hell is she

" Riley " suddenly a voice called echoed, taking her by surprise " Riley. can you hear me " it echoed again

" Who...who are you "looked around in fear, there was no sight of anyone. where is the voice coming from? her heart raised

" Riley can you hear me "

" Who are you?" she yelled

" It's me, Dr Wilson. your Dad "

" what?" confusion was written all over " where am I "

*** the lab ***

Riley lying on the bed with Wilson sitting on a chair beside her. she had several wires connected to her. Lisa and Linda along with other scientists studied the monitors, making sure she was stable Wilson questioned her. " sir " she is in a panic state

" Riley. you got to calm down" he said

" Where am I. where are you " she spoke quickly " why can't I see anything "

" Princess"

" stop calling me. get out of my head " she cried. suddenly the monitor began to beep red

" We should wake her," Lisa said with a worried tone

" give her time. Riley. you got to calm down. you are safe. I can assure you that"

" It's dark. there is nothing"

" you are in your consciousness right now " he spoke calmly " take a deep breath. in and out. you will be fine I promise "

" ok, ok, ok" whispered. slowly, slowly her heartbeat became stable and the beeping stopped " ok "

" good " smiling " now tell me. what do you see "

****Back to Her consciousness *****

looking around " nothing. I see nothing. just darkness "

" ok. I want to tell you something. that right there. is your word. a world that only you can reach, only you can create and no one can get there except you let them " he explained. suddenly it hit her. she remembered that during their first training Aiden took her to a place. he said it was his world. but this was nothing like his

" but there is nothing here "

" that is our first lesson today. you will create it to your liking"

" I have never done that before"

" It's in your mind. It's all in your mind. imagine what you want and let it happen"

" ok "

" let's start with something simple. a rock "

" that doesn't sound simple "

" it is. It's in your mind, don't forget "

"ok " Riley took a deep breath. A rock, what will it look like? she imagined a rock in her head with her eyes closed, a rock in front of her but when she opened her eyes, she saw nothing " why isn't it appearing "

" did you do as I ask "

" I imagined a rock like a said "

" did you make it happen"

" I don't know "

" as you imagine, you have you make it happen"

" how do I do that "

" you know how "

" that is not an answer," she said " you have to tell me how " she waited for a response but got none, and this made her frown. Riley sat on the ground with her arms crossed. ' asshole ' said to herself. looking around at the so-called world her mind went to Aiden and her heart skipped a beat. how is he doing? is he still in serious pain? hope my father wasn't doing something to him. no, he can't, he didn't have time for Aiden Right now. she is what he wants and he is using Aiden to keep her.

No. she analyzed the situation. Wilson wants both of them. they were both weapons and he needs her to create more which is why he has many clones. he uses pain to keep Aiden in line and he knows that she won't want Aiden to get hurt so she will also behave.

if she can learn faster and become stronger then she can get both herself and Aiden out of here and stop her father.

she has to learn fast. Riley stood up, took a deep breath, in and out and closed her eyes. she imagined a rock in front of her. Riley opened her here eyes. still there was nothing there but she didn't worry. she now understood what he said ' you have to make it happen ' putting her hand forward, she waves her fingers in that direction slowly. in her head particles began coming together creating a rock. just like it happened in her head it did in front of her and here she was, standing in front of an average you man's height rock. she smiled brightly at her accomplishment. never had she created something before, this was her first

**** Back in Lab ****

" Wilson. she is doing it " Linda announced looking at the monitor

" Good. very Good Riley " they all smiled

" I...did... it " she whispered

" yes, you did. now I want you to do more."

" more... rocks?"

" No. Anything. It's your world " smiling
