The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Ten- Bonding

Jordan's pov
I wake to a dark room. Where am i? I look around to see a single chair facing away from me underneath a light. I then realize i'm sitting in a puddle of... my own blood? I get up feeling dizzy and walk over to the chair. Right as i go to touch the fabric David swings around, grabbing my neck and gripping onto it. I scream. I try to use force,anything really but i can't. i'm stuck, "having trouble baby?" David fake pouts. I scream as loud as i can but nothing comes out. i'm already dead.

Colbys pov
I look up to see Jordan slightly but surely shaking. I grab her and i panic.. is she having a seizure? I lean her on her side and she coughs up blood; When she passed out Sam said it was best if i put a few chains back on but not her legs sense it was useless. Jordan calmed down and i set her back down , she shot up. She leaned up so fast it almost scared me , just to be yanked back down. She gasped and choked as a single tear left her eyes. She grabbed her neck and examined it. What's wrong with her? She then started... laughing. "Are you o-okay?" i asked confusingly. She calmed down and looked at me dead in the eye. "Not really, but If you're going to kill me , do it already. This torturing thing that you guys are doing isn't very fun. I might as well kill myself at this point." I sat there, looking back at her as i looked for any sign of regret or lying. none. Well that escalated quickly... this chick really wants to end her life, but why? and torturing her? So many thoughts raced through my head as i kept looking at her. "sooo you just gonna keep staring at me or say something?" "elaborate." is all i said. i want; no, need to know her reasoning for this. "huh? did you know i've never heard another human being talk to me in around 11 maybe 12 years? The only thing to school i had was books and David. Now i don't have either of those. So please enlighten me in your strange vocabulary." "You've never been outdoors? Not even before you got... taken?" "Do you ever stop asking questions? what you said,  what does it mean?" "Elaborate, means to go into detail more about your topic, like what your saying about us 'torturing' you" i quoted with my fingers. "or basically everything you just said, i learned that word from the one and only Tara as she was arguing with me about why pickles are the 'best food in the entire world' So anyway you were sayinggg." I extended the 'g' and propped my elbows onto my knees, smiling. She returned with a girly  smile. God that smil- ahhh Colby stoooop. She's underage anyway , well i heard from Jake she is. Maybe i should ask? Maybe that's too desperate anyway, i'll just wait it out a bit. "Elaborate. i think i got it down. So what i meant was.." She shuffled a little and brought the chains from her wrists as far up her arms as she can. What i saw was terrible. "So basically you guys have been almost drilling holes into my skin. I ignored it at first but now it just hurts not gonna lie. They burn into my skin causing me to feel like my arms are about to fall off. I kinda don't want to loose my arms to a group of weirdos in a house that talk about pickles which i don't even know of but if that's how i go that's how i go mane." I couldn't help but burst out laughing at her last comment. "Your sense of humor is so messed up i like it." oh gosh... did i just- oop. "Woah you like something about me? i'm honored Brock. Don't ask how i know your last name it came up in some conversation." she laughed out. I locked my ocean eyes to her chocolate ones. "Of course i like something about you, everything about you is perfect." "No ones perfect, Brock." She smiled.  Gosh i really like it when she calls me that. My heart literally aches for her in a good way, me liking her is so bad but i can't stop and i don't know why. I cleared my throat, "um anyway, what you said earlier, we wouldn't kill you, ever really, unless you were like a zombie or something then we might have to." She laughed and turned her body slightly more towards me. "Well that's good to know for now, well until i turn into a zombie that'd probably suck." Ugh her and that smart mouth makes me- COLBY STOP. ABORT MISSION. ABORT. "Why do you wanna kill yourself?" I quickly changed the topic. "Eh, doesn't sound that bad at times, don't really care if i die right now. I mean, i'm finally out of an underground jail, i want to explore. I want to see a beach for the first time, i wanna ride a roller coaster! not be held here til i'm near death, not gonna lie it kinda sucks. Don't get me wrong i'm really liking the bond i'm making with most of you sense i haven't really had any friends except David but i don't even consider him human... but i feel like everyone's just putting up an act so i won't leave. You get what i'm saying?" I couldn't help but feel bad for her. She's right. You guys are assholes. Ugh. I shook off negative thoughts and thought about what she said, letting it sink in. "Yea i understand. I hope you know i'm forced to do this. Because Jordan, if it was my choice you probably would be chasing your dreams. You probably would've never been here. Or better yet, with another agent that cares more about your safety and not if you're going to go all ninja on them. Even though it IS pretty badass, it kinda hurts." I laughed the last part and so did she. "Sorry , most the time i don't mean it i swear." She giggled, "I'm still getting used to controlling them while i'm using them so often now." I shifted myself a little closer to her. "You've had your gift your whole life right?" She nodded "They started enhancing later in my life and what happened with 474 blah blah blah what where you saying?" 474? "Oh uh so if you've had your gift your whole life, how are you just now getting used to it? Sorry if i'm asking so many questions i'm just curious." She sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Did i push her too much? I still had so many unanswered questions i thought we were going somewhere. "You don't have to tell me now if you don't wanna, i get it." "No it's fine.. i was trained to control my powers and to defend myself by some other spy's but i was warned if i ever used my gift against them , even if it was on accident. it was automatic death. I remember i saw one dude get his brains blow out... gosh i wish i didn't see that." She closed her eyes shut tight and one single tear left her eyes and down her face. I rubbed her shoulder. "I wasn't your fault,  Jordan you did nothing wrong." "Sometimes i feel like i should've done something. I should've been there before it happened or DID something so it wouldn't have happened to him." "And let yourself take the fall? What he did was probably pretty bad Jordan, you can't blame yourself for that and don't. I don't like hearing you talk bad about yourself." I was getting a little tempered but only because of how bad she talks of herself all the time. It's heartbreaking. "Okay okay i'm sorry... shouldn't have said anything in the first place." She mumbled the last part, but i heard. "I'm sorry too J, i shouldnt have gotten so mad over that." I leaned down and hugged her waist. "are you mad at me?" I muffled while still hugging her. "Of course not, Colby." "Good because i just met you and i don't wanna lose you." Which was entirely true. this girl is starting to grow on me, i can't tell if it's a good or bad thing. She hugged me back as much as she could and i teleported out of the room and to the game room. I grabbed the key to her chains and went back up to her room. "Gosh i was starting to think you just left me here." i chuckled "Nah i just thought you would want a little freedom every once and a while." I grabbed her hand and unlocked the chains. her hands are so soft. I unlocked the ones on her neck too and she sat up slightly and pulled me down next to her. "Thank you, Colby. For always being here when i need you." She drifted off to sleep, her arms still wrapped around me. "Thank you, Jordan. For accepting me for who i am." I then fell into sleep.
