Abdicate

[Leo]

For a second, my eyes snapped open, viewing the ceiling. I gasped for air and said the only words I could get out before I went back under.

"DeJesus. Singularity. Leo."

I felt my back arc and I went immediately back into my sleep.

The scene shifted like it always did when getting ready to view something else. By shifting, I mean the scene slightly panned out, turned, and rushed away from my plane of view. Another came flying up, panned in, and focused. I looked around quickly and saw that it was a room, a small room, metal walls surrounded me, a force field was on at the end with a man looking out of it.

That man was Leo.

"This is where they held me." he said. "Tried beating information out of me that I didn't even know. That I still don't know."

"Leo...are you...alive?" I asked, walking closer to him. He didn't turn around.

"What is alive Shan? The ability to breathe air? Or the comfort of knowing yourself. Of knowing who you are, of knowing your parents? Remembering your childhood?" He turned to face me. His eyes glowing blue. "Being human?" He walked closer to me. "...or being something more than human."

"Come back to us, Leo. We might be able to help you..."

"As far as I'm concerned, Shan, I'm dead to mankind...and mankind is dead to me. I've seen perfection. Mankind is far from it.

"Sirius will burn."

He turned back around and placed his hands on the force field and I watched as it shorted out and exploded. There was a firefight occuring outside the cell, I saw Sarah screaming something at him, and him screaming something back just before throwing her across the room and into a wall. This was a memory of his past. Of when he escaped Tainted for the first time.

A high pitched sound split my skull, and just as before, the scene went out of focus, panned out, and rushed away, replaced by white. I heard screaming...and then I realized...it was me.

Roleplay is dead. Long live Powertraders and PvP I guess.
