Hey guys, here is a new story for you all. I seem to feel the need to write more stories before I finish my old ones, so sorry if you are waiting on any of my older ones. I need to write a story when it is fresh in my mind, and this is my newest idea. Please enjoy.
Why am I here? Who am I?
Those where the first memories that came to me. They were memories a typical toddler could never comprehend. They were questions one should not ever ask themselves.
I always question my existence.
You should understand where I am coming from with this. I wasn't born in the natural way. I was never a baby. I never went through the toddler stage and I never went through the process of growing up. I never experienced the feeling of losing my teeth as they made way for my adult teeth. I never experienced growing pains in my legs. Never went to school, never had fun.
I don't even understand what a mother and father is. Sad right?
All I ever had was a barrier between myself and the world outside.
My first memory was waking up understanding many things I had never seen before. Thoughts rushed through my brain like lightning strike. It came like a whip at full speed leaving thoughts and understanding behind.
That was when my eyes opened for the first time. My eyes where the first thing I saw. A reflection of myself. I saw my silver eyes shine out like a cat. How did I know what a cat was?
Those eyes that resembled starlight that came from deep space, almost like I was seeing myself as a different person. The pupils widening and contracting before they allowed my eyes to focus.
Looking past my eyes I finally noticed the barrier. I knew I could move so I placed my palm against what I knew must have been glass. It was smooth and clear and showed me many things.
I knew then that I was on the inside looking out. How could it be that I wasn't on the outside looking in?
That's when I saw him looking in at me. A being with red hair looking straight at me. He was grinning widely, looking genuinely ecstatic about something. The grin gave me chills and all I could do was remove my palm in sudden fear. I lowered my gaze.
Before I could wonder what was happening I felt something. It was a something enclosing me completely. A type of liquid that was more viscous than water. It was draining away.
It was a purple, transparent liquid that made me feel strangely safe for some reason. It made me wonder if this was how a foetus felt when still inside the safety of their mother's womb.
The liquid was halfway down and my head made contact with the air. The strangest thing happened. I instantly hacked out the liquid that was in my lungs, keeping me alive, then they took in air for the first time.
Once the purple liquid drained away I felt instantly cold. I was sitting on the glass floor of the container, not able to keep my weight up on my shaky legs. I hugged my knees to my body and shivered.
I heard a click from above, but I was too cold to react. I felt something grasping me from my armpits and lifting me out of the glass tube I woke up in. Suddenly I was wrapped in something warm and soft. The person who picked me up was rubbing my shoulders, arms, stomach and thighs, trying to warm my chilled blood up.
I heard voices all the while but I could not register. I was feeling strange. It was as if I had woken up after a long time but still felt tired. I knew I couldn't allow myself to sleep though. I needed to grasp at my surroundings. My desire to understand my predicament outweighing the notion of sleep.
The longer I sat there on the persons lap the more I could hear. I began to hear the voices properly for the first time.
"…he woke up."
"Quick, get some cloths and a thick blanket."
"We have to keep the subject warm…"
"Hurry, before we lose him!"
Were they talking about me? I'm cold, please help me. The voices were both frantic and excited. I heard the footsteps of a few different beings running all over the place.
I felt myself being carried. I nuzzled my face into the warm, fluffy object I was wrapped in, seeking warmth. I pressed my ear to the being carrying me and heard something amazing for the first time.
Feelings came pulsing into my head when I heard the very thing that kept a creature alive. The heartbeat of another, pounding against my addled brain. It was the message the body exuded every day, the solid fact that the beat of a heart was the proof of a livings things right to live.
Suddenly I was taken away from that pulsing organ and placed into another tub, although this one had no lid. I heard a rush of liquid again and then felt warmth; oh so sweet, comforting warmth. It felt so good and I didn't want to leave for a long time.
The heat seeped into my frigid body, warming the marrow in my bones and giving the spark of life to my slow heartbeat. The precious heart I knew I held within my small body, pumping blood all around it keeping it alive.
"He can't regulate his own body temperature yet, this will help for the time being until he adjusts."
That person then lifted my arm and then gently plunged a needle into it, straight into the vain. I looked up and saw it was attached to a chord and a bag containing another clear looking liquid. This liquid had a blue tinge to it.
The very same arm that sunk the needle into my own arm then reached towards my forehead. I could not see what they were doing but they placed their fingers onto the skin just above my left eyebrow.
I did not understand what the person was doing, but by the time the clear liquid I was seated in had come up just below my neckline they had retracted those fingers and walked away for a moment.
I heard talking, but they were slightly too far away for me to recognise the words they said.
I simply sat there, enjoying the warmth of the bath, not really focussing on what was going on around me. For some strange reason as well as feeling warm I also felt clean. After feeling the cold and the warmth in my body, this new sensation made me realise that there must be more to feel in this world I had just woken up in. Was there more to feel than cold and warm? What came after clean?
I did not know for how long I sat there enjoying the newfound warmth before I was lifted out and wrapped in a slightly coarser item than the one before. This one dried me far more efficiently than the last one.
I then felt someone placing something over my torso. It was thick and soft, keeping me warm also. After the soft jumper came the slightly oversized trousers.
I was carried away once dressed. I was leaving the room I woke up in with all its strange glass cylinders, phials of different coloured liquids and blinking lights, along a corridor of white. There was nothing but white, so different to the multicolours of the last room.
I did not witness the white for long before we had entered another room, this time with a few other capsules that where laying against the floor instead of reaching towards the ceiling. They were empty, no liquid at all.
As we approached one I realised I was going to be placed in one. I felt a new sensation then. I felt a certain chill. My belly also felt slightly bad, as if I didn't want to go in there. My newfound fear was appeased when I realised the thing was warm, and there were actually blankets in there.
As soon as I was placed I automatically wrapped the blanket around me, feeling cosy and warm again. The capsule closed, but I did not care for I felt so good.
I looked up though to see the very person who I saw on the other side of the glass. He had red hair that was long and shaggy. He also wore nothing but white. He peered at me down small framed glasses. He smiled widely at my figure, curled up in the soft blankets amongst the warmth of the container.
I did not know if he was talking to me or talking out loud about me, but I knew who I was born as right then. I heard just before I drifted off into that world of dark again.
"Finally you have come to us after many years of research. Allen, the origin."
Hah, here is the first chapter. please review and favourite. I am not sure on pairings for this story but I will be glad to hear what you guys think. There will be more explanations and happenings next chapter. It will also be longer.
