Instructions

“Wait for it… Wait for it…” My hands are sliding down the walls as I wait for my target to walk inside. The boy inches forward, another step and I can reach him. I feel my cat, Lexer, gathering his muscles and preparing to pounce. At last the boy sees me, his mouth opens and I feel the air vibrate. I jump on him quickly, pinning him to the ground before taking my knife to his heart, but he was ready for me. At first, I feel nothing, but something feels off in my mouth. I try not to swallow in case he slipped something in my mouth. I feel something running down my throat and onto the floor. I grab the flashlight the boy was holding and shine it on the floor, hoping for my reflection to stare up at me. There is only blood. I am sitting in a sea of blood. I jump up, my body hoping that the boy was injured, but my instincts tell me that a wound like the one I gave him wouldn't bleed that much. My hands fly to my throat, a knife handle sticks out of my jaw. I open my mouth to scream but a stab of pain stops me. My adrenaline is fading and I can feel a burning sensation start in my throat. I have to get out of here, reaching out my arm. I call silently to Lexer. I can’t tell if the boy screamed or not so I can’t tell if there will be someone coming to check on him. As soon as I leap out of the window of the rundown tree house I realize something. The boy had a camera. I twist myself in the air trying to grab on to the window. It's too late. There is a police officer standing in the treehouse. I can only hope he didn’t see me. Or that the kid had a camera… Once I am back at base, I collapse. My legs can’t hold me anymore. When I come to, the knife in my throat is gone and in its place is a long white bandage, I test out my jaw to find it is still sore. I reach up to my head and ruffle my hair. Lexer is sitting on my lap purring contentedly. I look up to see bright green and white split, short, ruffled hair. “LLOYD!” I yell, not caring how loud or quiet my voice is or how much it hurts to open my mouth, “How are you feeling?” Lloyd signs to me, his careful eyes bearing into mine… “Ok…” I sign back flexing my muscles, testing for weakness “Remember, we only have one more mission then we have a break!” signed Lloyd with a smile, even though the reason we have a break isn't that smile worthy, The Choosing is soon, where 6 people are chosen from each faction to compete for their life, and for the well being of their factions. Most of the time only 3 people make it out, for these challenges are near impossible. Last year there was a challenge where the contestants had to roll around to avoid being torched to death. “Are you feeling good enough to move back to our pod?” signs Lloyd ``Yeah” I sign back “Let's go check out” I grab Lexer and lean out onto my feet. As we near the counter I look past the glass to read what the person is saying, his mouth forms words but the reflection on the glass prevents me from reading his lips. I see Lloyd talking to the man, catching the phrase “He’s deaf” before the man retracted the glass making it easier to see him. “Alexander (Ghost) |INSERT LAST NAME HERE|? Gender male. Is that you?” I nod, waiting for him to do the same for Lloyd, “Lloyd |INSERT L MIDDLE+LAST NAME HERE|. Is that you?” Lloyd nods and just like that, we are free, before leaving the hospital we stop in the restroom for me to change. After I slipped into my tight blue turtleneck and black cargo pants, I exit as Lloyd slips me my pocket knife. While I serve in the police department I am required to have it with me at all times. Lloyd plants a kiss on my cheek before we walk out of the restroom, out of the hospital, and catch our ride back to the main quarters. We catch so many stares on the bus, I am leaning into Lloyds arms, my back aching from my time not being able to move. Lloyd has violent green and white hair and is holding me to keep me from falling over. Not to mention I have a bandage protecting my throat wound. We look like a mess. After finally reaching our destination, we walk inside with no interruptions.Our room is freshly cleaned, the black walls shiny and polished. Lexer jumps out of my arms and heads to his pod to sleep while Lloyd helps me into the shower. After I have taken a shower I change into my pajamas and climb into bed with Lloyd. He reached out his arms to embrace me, holding my small frame close as we drifted off to sleep… Upon awakening I am suddenly am aware of a stabbing pain in my jaw, I want to cry out but I stop myself, that will only put me in more pain, I shake Lloyd awake, turning out our bedside light before signing "My jaw...." he nods and jumps to his feet, running into the kitchen.
