CHAPTER 2

I woke up feeling a bit dizzy but once I closed my eyes for a second I seemed to regain all my strength back. I realized I was laying on a bed, it also seemed like I had 3 other roommates but they weren't here I could only see their made up beds. The room was spacious enough and had 2 bunks in it.

I sat up straight waiting for someone to come in and then started thinking about my life, if I was to be killed then I had nothing to loose. The only person who probably realized I was gone by now was Sister Janet, I really didn't have a lot of friends, I kept to my self a lot.

I know I'm meant to be looking for a way out of here but the truth is that there was no way to escape right now but the truth is that there was no way to escape from this room. It was like literally locked no windows, they had air conditioners though.

After about what I thought was an hour, I finally heard someone outside the door. I sat properly awaiting, I was met with the same set of blue eyes I last saw. I couldn't see his complete face because he had this mask covering the lower part of his face, the mask had the image of a scorpion on it.

He walked in and looked at me then walked out, I sat there confused if I should follow him or not. Then he walked back in, but the next words he uttered where soo offending.

"please don't tell me you're a dumb one"

"excuse me?", how could someone with the perfect set of eyes be so rude.

"oh so now you want to play smart, you know what, I don't need this right now just get your ass up we need to go meet Big E", oh no he did not just do that, who does he think he is to say that to me. I decide to suck it up and tell him what was in my mind, at least if I died then I know I died defending myself.

"Look I really don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but that doesn't give you the audacity to insult me. It's either you find your place or I help you find your place or I help you find it. Just because I'm small doesn't give you the right to speak to me that way, the least you could do is to give me instructions".

He just kept staring and I had snap my fingers at fingers at his face for him to come back to reality. He cleared his throat and said "follow me". And then he turned and left I followed him this time. A part of me actually felt sorry for snapping at him like that, I wanted to apologize but I decided to give it time for him to cool off he was probably angry.

On the way I realized that basically the whole building the whole building was on lock, it was like one of this crates you see in movies that didn't have windows but was fully air conditioned. I saw a lot of people like me, it was like they were training or something, some of them stopped to stare at me but I just decided to put my head down to avoid all of them. We entered the elevator and there was this strange awkward silence, you could actually cut the tension between us because it was strong. The elevator finally came to a stop, the doors opened and before me were 3 people I did not know at all.

Blue eye guy walked to one of the guys( he looked like the oldest amongst all 3) they whispered to each other and then blue eyes walked out. As he was going he stopped and gave me this look that I really couldn't translate but a knew that he definitely wasn't angry with me. I was finally left with the 3 elders(as I would call them).

"Melissa, born on the 18th of June, 16 years old, grew up in St. Mary's orphanage home. I'm right aren't I or did I miss something?" The older man spoke. Those were normal info about me so I wasn't scared he must have gotten it from the orphanage. Then he spoke again " ooh sorry I missed something. Your parents died three months after your birth, you have spent your entire life in the orphanage except for when you had to go to rehab at the age of 13 because you were too depressed and tried to commit suicide."

I was shocked beyond words, no one knew that much about me only the Nuns at the orphanage "Who told you about that" I asked him, he looked at me for a little while " why don't you have a sit and then we'll answer any questions you have. I'm sure you have a lot of questions to ask". I sat on a chair that faced all of them, I then asked the first question that came to my mind " where am I", he looked at his partners like he was contemplating whether to tell me or not, then the only woman who was I the room spoke

" we are called 'the organization'. We help teenagers like yourself get what you want. We train the fighter in you to become a warrior so no one can stop you" "I am not a fighter, I can't even arm wrestle" I told her. She stood up from her sit and came closer to me looked in my eyes and said

" 3 years ago when u were taken to rehab they tried everything to get you to stop feeling depressed and stop doing drugs but nothing was working. Your room mate whose name you never knew sneaked you out to an underground fight cub where you got registered and learned how to fight better than anyone. You where the best in town and went by the name 'Dark Rose'. Everything went fine until one day you fought and killed somebody, you felt so guilty that you never fought again". She stopped looked in my eyes and said " we can help you make sure you don't feel that guilt again, we can help you re-ignite that fire and even more".

When I had found myself I turned to her asked " what do you think I want, nothing can make me fight to the the point of wanting to kill someone" she smirked and said "one thing. There's one thing that can make you fight like that" " what's that" . She turned to the others who gave her a go ahead on whatever she wanted to say, " I know you where always told that your parents died in a car accident but have you ever thought about what caused the accident?". I didn't know what to say so I kept quiet, she stood up from the desk she was leaning on, pick a remote that was lying on the desk then switched on a big screen that was behind me. I turned my chair around to see the picture of a man on the screen, "who's that" I asked. "Ahsakim Mohammed, he is a big mafia leader. Gets people to do his dirty job" she said as she walked around me. " what did he have against my parents?" I asked her " believe it or not Lisa, your parents were into some shady business with Ahsakim and when they had you they wanted to stop because they didn't want it to endanger your life but Ahsakim was not having it so he decided to kill them but unfortunately for him you didn't die. He doesn't know that so we are going to help you get you revenge. We will help you kill everyone that helped him destroy your life that is if you are willing to".

I looked at her with silence, then I said what no one was expecting "none of you have actually introduced yourself you know" the last man in the room who had been silent throughout finally spoke up" well I'm David, she is Lucy and this other guy is Elijah" he said pointing to the older guy.

" look, sooner or later someone from the orphanage will notice I'm gone and they will try to find me"

" when we took you we made sure to leave a scenario which leaves you dead. To the outside world you are dead and gone. So don't worry no one will look" Michael said to me.

"Then I think its time to bring Dark Rose back from the dead" I said while looking at all three of them. "Scorpion" Elijah called out, blue eyed guy came back in, Percy looked at me while talking to scorpion " get ready for the initiation, we have a new member"
