Sugarcane

You continue to face the bright lights. You know what's waiting behind those lights. Men and guns. You just don't know how bad it is. You can still [[surrender|HELP!(M)]] and try to explain what happened. And maybe, MAYBE, they'll understand and let you escape from this freak. Or maybe they won't, you can be considered a criminal as you have him in your house. You can stand by this man and [[see what'll happen|Hello.(M)]].

"No." \n"What are you saying?" He looks at you with a confused face "I can help get rid of them if you get it off. You don't get to have all the fun." He smirks with a micheivous smile. Fun? What fun? You still don't budge. He suddenly grabs your hand and places the tips of your fingers on the collar. The collar starts to glow around youre finger tips. Aside the glowing a sign in green appears on the collar reading "DNA Match. Permission to ditatch granted." The collar [[unlocks|How come(F)]] and falls off his neck.

The silence is killing you. The silhoutte slowly moves to your desk to lean against it. They have their eyes covered with a painful expression spread across their face. You're on your tiptoes, you have to call the police, but your cellphone is in your suitcase. [[Next to the door]]. You groan deep down inside. There's nothing but to [[run|Hold on!]]. Should have done that from the start.

You look at the kitchen and at the door. Suddenly something catches your attention. Out the window you see movements. You focus your eyes more and you realize that it's people getting out from the back of a black van with a word imprinted on it. As you slowly walk down the stairs you realize the writing on the van. It reads S.W.A.T. \nYou feel your heart skip a beat. Are you going to [[tell the person in the kitchen?|Hey!(M)]] or are you going to [[run out there and yell for help?|HELP!(M)]].

You see the woman in the hallway, floating. Yes, floating. Her eyes are in rage and glow strongly. Glowing white. The light from outside hits her suit and she shines bright, the shade curving every tense muscle. Your living room is connected to the dining room, sharing one room. Your kitchen has open doors and from the living room you can see whats happening in the end of the hallway through the kitchen door. Its unbelievable. S.W.A.T officers float too. But you notice that its not of their own will, and they seem to be choking. As if an invisible hand is holding their throats. Your attention is turned to the woman again. Wind suddenly arises underneath her. But now her body isn't completely turned towards the door, her arms are stretched out on both ends of the house-one towards the front door and one towards the back door. Both hands twitch wildly in a form of choking. And then you realise. She's choking the men. But how?! \nYour vision gets worse, until you can't differentiate what's what. You feel your body weaken and you fall on your elbows. Under your elbows is a pool of liquid. You notice the color and you recognize that its [[blood|SLAP!(F)]].

Your sister laughs wildly as she and your younger brother run up the stairs as you chase them in your halloween costume. Your parents waiting at the door, you now stand at, waiting for you and your siblings to go trick'or'treating. As a whole family. \nThey call out your name in a laughing tone. A tone you havent heard in 6 years. And it hurts every time to remember.\n[[<<Back|Home]]

"Yeah, so what? What do you need help with?" You hear your voice shake a little. You try to put on a confident face, but you know you're failing at it. You see the man relax. He tilts his head and smirks a little. Is he laughing at you? He then turns his head to the wall again. You look at the wall, and see nothing. What is he looking at? "They're after me. The scientists," he looks again at you "just when I thought they'd stop once I left that hell hole, they still follow me." You think of [[laughing and saying "well no shit,"|Mocking(M)]] but then that would be acting too arrogant wouldn't it? Maybe you'd want to keep cool and [ask him to get to the point|And...?(M)]

You look at your left shoulder and see your light blue dress shirt become wet with something red. The sploch grows by the minute. You try to focus as hard as you can and realize theres a quarter size hole in your dress shirt. You touch the hole and look at your hand. Its blood. You look back at your shoulder and now the blood is crawling down on your injured arm's hand. Your vision gets blurry. Its too much blood. Time seems to slow down, do you even feel the pain anymore? You feel a sudden shake and realize it the woman thats [[shaking|GO!(F)]] you.

He rubs the area where the collar just was. \n"So much better."\nYou stand there clueless of what just happened. Why are your fingerprints a perfect match to unlock his collar? Do you want to ask him why your [[fingerprints unlocked the collar|Smirks(M)]] or do you just [[ignore it and figure out what to do next?|Hello.(M)]].

You look up and see the woman hovering you.\n"Are you okay?!" You hear her say slowly. Everything is in slow motion for some reason. The sting is just as agonizing. "GO, HIDE. I'll take over!" She shouts and points at the living room. You drag yourself to the corner of the living room near the two couches. You turn around suddenly and see what's happening. You blink twice because you think you're [[dreaming|Lala Land(F)]]. But you continue to feel the sting intensify, did you look at your shoulder already? [[Look at your shoulder|Blood everywhere(F)]].

Tom is your cubicle neighbour. You've been cubicle buds for 3 years. He's a good guy, you hang out with him when he isn't with his -obsessed- girlfriend. You're jealous. But why?\n[[<<Back|Sigh]]

You turn your head to and find an open window and a silhoutte of someone crouching on the window sill. \n"Shhh," you hear the silhoutte shush "I'm not here to hurt you." The voice sounded... a bit off. You think of your possiblities, jumping off the bed and [[turning on the light|Turn it off!]] or getting off the bed and [[run out of the house|Hold on!]]. You don't even consider of staying quiet.

You stand still on the stairs as he walks down the hallway and into the kitchen. He disappears and you look back at your door. \n"What?" You hear his voice and look back at the kitchen to see him peering out. "Don't worry, they're not even in the neighbourhood yet. We have at least an hour." You continue to stare at him, and you think, that's not why I was looking at the door. The door seems like the best place to run through, but if you did run, no one would be able to help you. In a neighbourhood full of families at 2 am, everyone's sleeping. By the time they open the door, this person would have already jumped on you. You hesitate, do you [[try to escape?|Damn it!(M)]] Or do you just follow him [[into the kitchen|Damn it!(M)]]?

You suddenly burst a forced laugh. You see him jump a little with a surprised look on his face. \n "Well, no shit you're going to get chased. They're not going to let something escape their hands that easily. Especially scientists." You say, he shakes his head and smirks once more. He's now looking down.\n "But of course." He says. He leaves the end of the steps and walks into the kitchen. Do you [[follow him?|Damn it!(M)]] or just [[stand awkwardly stiff on the stairs?|Oh, okay(M)]].

"Uh-um, hey, they're outside! The S.W.A.T is outside!" You exclaim as you run down the stairs and turn down the hall and into the kitchen.\n "They're not supposed to be here this quick! How did they find us?" She slams the fridge shut and runs out into the living room and peers out the window. Suddenly they shine a bright light to where the man poked his head. "Shit!" You hear her say under his breath. She stalks towards you and stops. She lifts her head and her neck is exposed to you. "Come on, unlock it." You look at her neck, the collar around her standing out. "Hurry." She rushes you. You look at hier, do you [[unlock it?|Good(F)]] or do you [[say no?|Hell no(F)]] She could have that around her neck for a reason.

"How?" You ask. He looks at you in disbelief and grabs your hand and places the tips of you fingers on his collar. The collar starts to glow around youre finger tips. Aside the glowing a sign in green appears on the collar reading "DNA Match. Permission to ditatch granted." The collar [[unlocks|How come(M)]] and falls off his neck.

"Why did my DNA just unlock your collar?" She stops rubbing her neck and looks up at you. Confusion crosses her face. And she stares at you, suspiciously. \n[["WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE."]] Your head jerks towards the sudden noise, but the light from the living room is blinding you. You know its the S.W.A.T. [["WE CAN SEE YOUR EVERY MOVEMENTS. COME OUT THE FRONT DOOR, SLOWLY. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE, I REPEAT, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE. WE HAVE YOUR HOUSE SURROUNDED."]] You can't help but swallow [[dry|There(F)]].

The person finally looks up to you. It's not a woman, it's a man. His white hair shines in the light, which makes his sharp red-brown eyes stand out even more. He's albino you think, and remember, that he has to be, because he has white hair, white pale skin and red-ish eyes. He has no skin or hair pigment. He walks towards the bottom of the stairs again and you realize what he's wearing. A white latex suit, from his neck to his feet. And he's wearing what seems to be a collar around his neck. He looks straight at you. You're body shivers as cold sweat slides across your face. He suddenly jerks his head to the left, staring at the wall. Finally, he [[looks|Help(M)]] back at you.

"So now what?" \n"We'll I'll let that up to you. Since they're waiting for me, why don't you go and surprise them and show them what real power is." He says pushing you towards the door. What real power is? What power is he talking about? He stops you at the door and you see him in the corner of your eye, hiding behind the wall to the living room. You see excitement in his eyes. The blood is now rushing up to your ears and you hear your heart pounding. You face the [[door|HELP!(M)]].

You suddenly burst a forced laugh. You see her jump a little with a surprised look on her face. \n "Well, no shit you're going to get chased. They're not going to let something escape their hands that easily. Especially scientists." You say, she shakes her head and smirks once more. She's now looking down.\n "But of course." She says. She leaves the end of the steps and walks into the kitchen. Do you [[follow her?|Damn it!(F)]] or just [[stand awkwardly stiff on the stairs?|Oh, okay(F)]].

"Uh-um, hey, they're outside! The S.W.A.T is outside!" You exclaim as you run down the stairs and turn down the hall and into the kitchen.\n "They're not supposed to be here this quick! How did they find us?" He shuts the fridge, runs out into the living room and peers out the window. Suddenly they shine a bright light to where the man poked his head. "Shit!" You hear him say under his breath. He stalks towards you and stops. He lifts his head and his neck is exposed to you. "Come on, unlock it." You look at his neck, the collar around him standing out. "Hurry." He rushes you. You look at him, do you [[unlock it?|Good(M)]] or do you [[say no?|Hell no(M)]] He could have that around his neck for a reason.

"How?" You ask. She looks at you in disbelief and grabs your hand and places the tips of you fingers on her collar. The collar starts to glow around youre finger tips. Aside the glowing a sign in green appears on the collar reading "DNA Match. Permission to ditatch granted." The collar [[unlocks|How come(F)]] and falls off her neck.

You quickly get off the bed, forgetting about the back pain you have from taking copies and run to turn on the lights. You can see now, a person with their hands hovering over their eyes. Blocking the light.\n"Please turn it off!" The person shrieked.\nYou can still [[run|Hold on!]] or you can do what the person said and [[turn off the light|Darkness]].

The person still has their eyes closed shut as you open your eyes completely. Is it a [[man|Man]] or is it a [[women|Women]]? You can't tell as they have their face looking away from the light.

You look back at your shoulder and now your shirt is drenched with blood. You look where you were hit and see a path of blood. Seeing all the blood makes you feel dizzy, your ears now ring and you being to fall unconcious.\n"HEY!" You feel a slap on your cheek. Your eyes budge open. "Don't die on me, man!" You hear his voice vibration but nothing else, the vibration slowly dying. "I'm going to get you out of here!" You see his mouth open wide with his words, you notice he's shouting his words, but all you hear is him whispering. You close your eyes to blink but your eyes don't open again. All you see is [[black|Rise and Shine(M)]].

You drag your feet up the stairs to pass two rooms to then meet your room at the end of the hall. You enter your room and collaspe on your bed. You look at your alarm clock and see the red numbers glow, 1:20 am. You cover your face in the hunch of pillows for a while. You suddenly hear a strange noise coming from the opposite side of the room. As if something messed with your window. You could [[turn your head and look|Surprise]] or you could just [[ignore|Boo]] it, it's probably the overgrown tree hitting the window again.

The person finally looks up to you. It's not a man, it's a woman. Her white hair shines in the light, which makes her sharp red-brown eyes stand out even more. She's albino you think, and remember, that she has to be, because she has white hair, white pale skin and red-ish eyes. She has no skin or hair pigment. She walks towards the bottom of the stairs again and you realize what she's wearing. A white latex suit, from her neck to his feet. And she's wearing what looks like a collar around her neck. She looks straight at you. You're body shivers as cold sweat slides across your face. She suddenly jerks her head to the left, staring at the wall. Finally, she [[looks|Help(F)]] back at you.

"What do you need help with?" You hear your voice shake a little. You try to put on a confident face, but you know you're failing at it. The man smirks a little. Is he laughing at you? She then turns his head to the wall again. You look at the wall, and see nothing. What is she looking at? "They're after me. The scientists," she looks again at you "just when I thought they'd stop once I left that hell hole, they still follow me." You think of [[laughing and saying "well no shit,"|Mocking(F)]] but then that would be acting too arrogant wouldn't it? Maybe you'd want to keep cool and [ask him to get to the point|And...?(F)]

"I-I have no idea what you're saying. You got the wrong person." You struggle to say. The man leaves the bottom of the steps and begins to shake his head.\n "That's strange. I was sure it was you-no, it has to be you." He looks again at you. You continue standing on the steps. His stare is making you feel uncomfortable. What's with this guy? "So, you don't know why I'm here?" He asks you. You can still [[lie and laugh it off|Jokes on you(M)]] and act casual, or you can continue to [[tell the truth.]]

You look up and see the man hovering you.\n"Are you okay?!" You hear him say slowly. Everything is in slow motion for some reason. The sting is just as agonizing. "GO, HIDE. I'll take over!" He shouts and points at the living room. You drag yourself to the corner of the living room near the two couches. You turn around suddenly and see what's happening. You blink twice because you think you're [[dreaming|Lala Land(M)]]. But you continue to feel the sting intensify, did you look at your shoulder already? [[Look at your shoulder|Blood everywhere(M)]].

You look back at your shoulder and now your shirt is drenched with blood. You look where you were hit and see a path of blood. Seeing all the blood makes you feel dizzy, your ears now ring and you being to fall unconcious.\n"HEY!" You feel a slap on your cheek. Your eyes budge open. "Don't die on me, man!" You hear her voice vibration but nothing else, the vibration slowly dying. "I'm going to get you out of here!" You see her mouth open wide with her words, you notice she's shouting her words, but all you hear is her whispering. You close your eyes to blink but your eyes don't open again. All you see is [[black|Rise and Shine(F)]].

You stand still on the stairs as she walks down the hallway and into the kitchen. She disappears and you look back at your door. \n"What?" You hear her voice and look back at the kitchen, to find her peering out. "Don't worry, they're not even in the neighbourhood yet. We have at least an hour." You continue to stare at her, and you think, that's not why I was looking at the door. The door seems like the best place to run through, but if you did run, no one would be able to help you. In a neighbourhood full of families at 2 am, everyone's sleeping. By the time they open the door, this person would have already jumped on you. You hesitate, do you [[try to escape?|Damn it!(F)]] Or do you just follow her [[into the kitchen|Damn it!(F)]]?

The person stand ups slowly. You hear them let a deep breath out. Almost relaxing. But you're still tense. You hear your heart in your ears, you barely heard that breath, with all the pounding. \n"I need your help. I told you, I wasn't here to hurt you." The person strolls away from the stairs and walks to the light switch near the door. *Flick* \nYou squint your eyes, to realize the [[appearence|Discription]] of the stranger standing in your house.

You stand in front of the door. It's now or never you think and you fling the door open. The strong light is blinding. Just as you're about to yell or do whatever, you feel a sudden blow, on your shoulder. The impact is so huge that it makes your body twist. You feel yourself falling on the floor, but you stop the fall midway by unconciously putting out your hands to reach the floor first. You feel a sudden sting on your right shoulder. [[Check out the pain|Blood everywhere(M)]] is what you tell yourself, but whats happening? [[Look up,|GO!(M)]] you keep commanding your body, but the sting is excruciating.

You ignore the sound and continue to snooze. Until you feel a tug on the shoulder. You jerk back. A tall silhoutte is standing next your bed. \n"Help me, please." You grab your alarm clock and use the little light it provides to see whats standing in front of you. Its a person with a terrified look on their face. You lunge forward pushing the person aside and [[run|Hold on!]].\n

"I was told you could help me." She says softly yet boldly. What is she talking about? Who told her that? Should you [[act like you know what she's talking about|Yeah, so what?(F)]], or should you be honest and tell her [[she's got the wrong person|...Sorry, what?(F)]]?

You continue to face the bright lights. You know what's waiting behind those lights. Men and guns. You just don't know how bad it is. You can still [[surrender|HELP!(F)]] and try to explain what happened. And maybe, MAYBE, they'll understand and let you escape from this freak. Or maybe they won't, you can be considered a criminal as you have her in your house. You can stand by this woman and [[see what'll happen|Hello.(F)]].

"I-I have no idea what you're saying. You got the wrong person." You struggle to say. The woman leaves the bottom of the steps and begins to shake her head.\n "That's strange. I was sure it was you-no, it has to be you." He looks again at you. You continue standing on the steps. His stare is making you feel uncomfortable. What's with this guy? "So, you don't know why I'm here?" He asks you. You can still [[lie and laugh it off|Jokes on you(M)]] and act casual, or you can continue to [[tell the truth.]]

You stand in front of the door. It's now or never you think in a spilt second and you fling the door open. The strong light is blinding. Just as you're about to yell or do whatever, you feel a sudden blow, on your shoulder. The impact is so huge that it makes your body twist. You feel yourself falling on the floor, but you stop the fall midway by unconciously putting out your hands to reach the floor first. You feel a sudden sting on your right shoulder. [[Check out the pain|Blood everywhere(F)]] is what you tell yourself, but whats happening? [[Look up,|GO!(F)]]you keep commanding your body, but the sting is excruciating.

You stare aimlessly at the screen. \n *Taptap* *Click* *C-Click* \nYour eye [[twitches|Sigh]]. The sounds that surround you is going to make you go crazy. \n

You finally blink, and look down at the keyboard. You hit enter. You lay back in your chair, finally, it's done. You hear yourself sigh. Just 40 more years, thats all, is what you always tell yourself. \n "Dude, that was a long sigh." [[Tom]] pops his head next to your cubicle. \n "It came from my soul," You say "it's crying out for help." Tom finds it funny and laughs, but you don't. You stare at the stack of papers you were ordered to take copies for old hag Cox, another reason why you sigh everyday. You can't wait until you get [[home|Home]].

"I was told you could help me." He says softly yet boldly. What is he talking about? Who told him that? Should you [[act like you know what he's talking about|Yeah, so what?(M)]], or should you be honest and tell him [[he's got the wrong person|...Sorry, what?(M)]]?

"Nah, I'm just messing with you." \n"Wha-"\n"'Course I know why you're here." You bluff. Just hope he doesn't catch you. \n"Ah, of course, I was told you're quite the joker." He shakes his head and [[laughs|Mocking(M)]] weakly.

She rubs the area where the collar just was. \n"So much better."\nYou stand there clueless of what just happened. Why are your fingerprints a perfect match to unlock her collar? Do you want to ask her why your [[fingerprints unlocked the collar|Smirks(F)]] or do you just [[ignore it and figure out what to do next?|Hello.(F)]].

You see the man in the hallway, floating. Yes, floating. His eyes are in rage and glow. Glowing white. The light from outside hits his suit and he shines bright, the shade curving every muscle that is being used. Your living room is connected to the dining room, sharing one room. Your kitchen has open doors and from the living room you can see whats happening in the end of the hallway through the kitchen door. Its unbelievable. S.W.A.T officers float too.

The blood is now rushing up to your ears and you hear your heart pounding. You face the [[door|HELP!(F)]]. You breathe in, you breathe out.

Alas you arrive home. You search for your keys aimlesly, and remember you put it in your disorginazed suitcase. You find them and effortlessly open the door. You close it behind you, and turn around to face an empty subtle house. You look around, remembering when you were part of a [[family|Reminisce]]. Two siblings, a happy Mother and Father. You can't help but smile at the memories. Throwing aside your suitcase and jacket on the shoemat next to you, you walk up the [[stairs|Stairs]]. Slowly but surely.

You're quick on your feet. It's the adrenaline pumping through your veins. You burst through the hallway and down the stairs. As you run down the stairs you see the silhoutte jump over your head and land on the bottom of the stairs. You stop halfway on the stairs. You're eyes are wide, what is this person? Why do they want me? You can see the person's eyes glisten as the light shines in from the door's window. They have red irises. The [[person stands|They're after me]].

"Why did my DNA just unlock your collar?" He stops rubbing his neck and looks up at you. Confusion crosses his face. And he stares at you, suspiciously. \n[["WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE."]] Your head jerks towards the sudden noise, but the light from the living room is blinding you. You know its the S.W.A.T. [["WE CAN SEE YOUR EVERY MOVEMENTS. COME OUT THE FRONT DOOR, SLOWLY. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE, I REPEAT, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE. WE HAVE YOUR HOUSE SURROUNDED."]] You can't help but swallow [[dry|There(M)]].
