Waking up
Aura's POV
I wanted to remember.
But I couldn't. All I could grasp was one word, one face. Aura. A face that looked so distant but so close. She looked like me. Beautiful black hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked down at me and simply said, "Aura."
I woke up with a brunette staring down at me. He had big brown/hazel eyes and spikey brown hair. He looked over to a light and yelled "She's awake!" I blinked a few times and realised he was yelling through a door. I was in some sort of hospital. The scent haunted me and my eyes widened. I started to get up but my arm collapsed under me and the guy held me back. "It's okay. You're hurt, you need rest. I'm Chase." He reached out to shake my hand and I reluctantly took it. Two more brunettes entered the scene, a tall buff guy and a slim girl. They looked similar, so I guessed they were siblings. "Hurrah, the mysterious fire girl is up. What is the Fire ball's name?" the tall one asked. "I don't know. All I remember is a face like mine saying 'Aura' and pain associated with hospital smell. What's yours?" He looked at me suspiciously then smiled. He took my hand and shook it hard. I winced, but he didn't notice. "Adam." Chase muttered something about my arm and Adam punched him in the arm. He rubbed his arm and I looked down at mine. It was wrapped all the way down. I laid back down and eyed the girl. She nonchalantly half-raised her hand and said, "Bree. Nice to meet you." A doctor came in and Adam and Bree stepped out. Chase sat in a chair in the corner. The doctor introduced himself as Douglas. He also didn't introduce himself as a doctor. Chase whispered something to him and he nodded. "It seems you have bionics, an electronic chip that allows you to be superhuman. Chase tells me you can't remember anything, so we plan to enroll you in my brother's academy for bionic children. Chase and his siblings are bionic teachers at the school. You are very powerful and we will harness these abilities to save lives." I nodded and Chase walked over to help me stand. I walked a bit shakily at first, Chase catching me as I fell a few times, but bit by bit I got better. "We're going to start you in physical therapy for now. Your skill accessment according to Chase is red, the highest color. We will put you in red when you make a full recovery." I nodded and shifted my weight. "Can I leave now? I've associated this smell with pain when I had memories." Douglas nodded and brought out a wheelchair. I sat down in it and Chase pushed me out. I put my hand over my mouth to hide my gasp as Chase carted me into a giant room that was very modern and designed well. The walls arched up into a glass dome and there were different hallways each labeled with different things. One went to dorms, another to classrooms and the hydrology. I asked what a hydrology was and Chase laughed. We continued into the dorms and I saw an unmarked room. Chase stuck a piece of paper on the door with tape that read "Human Torch Girl's room" in crayon. The m was backwards and I laughed. "Adam made it. Don't ask me." We both laughed and he wheeled me into the dorm. There was a tube in the corner. My heart seized up as I had a flashback. My muscles tensed as I remembered years of pain and torture. Poking with needles, electrocuted, drowned. Water stung my skin and I yelled in pain. I grabbed my head and cradles it in my hands. I was sobbing on the floor now and I crawled into the fatal position. Chase was yelling for help and my vision blurred. I gave into the darkness.
