"C-001, why did you do that?", Dr. Collins asks while tapping his pen on my record folder.
"You want to know why? It's because he told me to behave myself when I'm just f***ing laying on my bed. That's not all, he even gave me C-006's food tray!", I said as I slap my hands on the table as I stood up from the chair. "And all of you knew that we have different tastes in foods since that's the only food you gave to us ever since we can talk for ourselves", I said as I sigh deeply to calm myself down.
They are getting on my nerves, if not for this stupid collar they put on us. I will kill that bastard who yaps his mouth at me and didn't do his only job right.
"We will keep that in mind, C-001. You may go back to your room now", he said while writing down on my folder without batting an eye at me.
I just walk out of his office while slamming the door shut as the head of the caretakers guided me back to my room.
"What's the use of calling me out when all he just do was hear my reason for threatening one stupid staff of theirs?!", I said as I tried to compose myself while rubbing my temple.
"It's their job to monitor you all if you had a sudden change of behaviors from time to time, Ezekiel", Mrs. Lawrence said while giggling as we reached my room and opens the door for me. "But remember this, my child. You and your siblings are far more special than any normal kids your age", she said like it was a warning than a compliment to my ears, but her eyes are speaking a whole different thing like she was worried about us.
"Mom... We don't want to be here anymore, Mom", I said with a straight face that made her surprised to hear it from me. "Just kidding, Mom. We all know that our existence is dangerous and we might as well die here than pretend like normal kids", I said as I went inside my room and shut the door as I jumps to my bed face down.
We don't even know what's the reason for our existence and why are we in this place to top it all.
"That's what most of them kept on telling us, Mom", I said as I close my eyes to get some sleep.
*the next day, at the gathering hall...
"Ezekiel? Mom is acting so weird right now", Sherlly said as she sits beside me as I hugged my knees.
"I told her what they kept on telling us, Sherlly", I said as she smacks my head hard.
"So you were the reason why she's acting so weird right now", she said as she flips her hair and looks at me like she wants to beat me up.
"C-001 & C-004, it is time to eat your breakfast now. Follow your caretakers and proceed to the dining hall now", one of the staff said while looking at us with a disgusted look on his face.
"Do that again and you're my next target this weekend", Sherlly said that made me laugh as the staff's face went pale like all of his blood got drained out as he runs away from us.
"You'll be called out just like what happened to me yesterday", I said as we stand up and followed our caretakers, she just scoffs it off and did a hand gesture saying she doesn't care about it.
While we're walking down the hallway, some researchers are staring at us closely like they are observing our every move. They always treat it as new data every time they saw us walking in front of them.
We just smirk at them like we're trying to mock them since they can't outsmart us. After all, we learned from them as time pass by.
"Where's C-000?", Alexa asks one of the staff that made the other staffs whisper to each other.
"He's in the isolation room right now", one of the caretakers answered. "Dr. Collins and the other doctors ordered his isolation since he went into another fit again", he explained as we get inside the dining hall.
As we got inside the dining room, the other children started to notice that we were missing one child which made them even more noisier than they can be.
"Now, we will start the roll call before you all can eat", Dr. Sanders said as we sat down according to our coding numbers.
"C-001, present!" - me (Ezekiel)
"C-002, present!" - Michael
"C-003, present!" - Alexa
"C-004, present!" - Sherlly
"C-005, present!" - Candice
"C-006, present!" - Kyle
"C-007, present!" - Jason
"C-008, present!" - Samantha
"Where's big brother C-000, Dr. Sanders?", Samantha asks as the other children turn their attention to the doctor.
"He is currently in the isolation room for harming some of the researchers and nurses during the physical examination", Dr. Sanders explained in a cold voice with a straight face.
"Sounds like he's not in the mood again", Michel said that made us silent thinking about what will happen if they try to get him out to be there.
"I suggest that you let us get him with Mrs. Lawrence, doctor", Alexa said that making the doctor doubt our intention.
"I agree with C-003, Dr. Sanders. There will be more injured personnel if you try to get him out by yourselves", I added as he sighs and wave his hand to the guards to let us go there instead.
While we were walking to get big brother, we saw some personnel running away as we saw him walking with blood on his hands. Mrs. Lawrence gasps in shock to see him covered with some blood, I wave my hand as the others block her.
"We came to get you but seems like you're already in a berserker state now", I said as I look at him calmly as he just smirks at me like he plans to attack me next.
"Stop being the leader, Ezekiel. We all know that you are not fit for that role", he said while smirking at me like he was challenging me to a fight again.
"And we all know that you can't beat me, Jackson. So stop being stubborn and be responsible for your actions", I said as I signal the others to stay alert.
"Why would I do that? Can't you see they fear us since we're stronger than them?", he said while smiling like a maniac. "And besides, we are the results of their mad experiments. It should be them to take responsibility for our doings and not us", he said which made me shake my head in disbelief as I look at him again.
I was taken aback as he attacked me by surprise, I felt a small scratch on my face that made me smirk as I counter his attacks. He stepped back and smiled as if he just won and only to get surprised as I gave him a roundhouse kick that made him fall.
"Rule no.1, never celebrate too early when the opponent is still standing", I said as he gets up and tried to slit my throat with a scalpel, I dodge it and grabbed his wrist as I punched him in his face. "Rule no.2, always keep your guard up."
"Ezekiel surely knew how to read his opponent's attack patterns and counter it." - Alexa
"That's why he's much better to lead us than big brother." - Michael
"All of you! Shut up!", Jackson said as I punches him on his diaphragm to knock him out.
"Rule no.3, keep your eyes on your opponent", I said as let go of him as he fell on the floor, some staff gave him a shot, making him fall asleep.
"C-001, you move like a normal human being than the other children", Dr. Collins said as I look at him coldly which made him piss off.
"If you're a killer, would you want to get caught that easily by acting like a mindless idiotic killer?", I said that made them speechless to hear an 8-year-old boy saying such things.
I walk away as I nod to the others to assist Mrs. Lawrence to where they took Jackson away.
Jackson may be the firstborn, but his actions will put us in danger instead. He is self-centered, he doesn't think about us before he acts recklessly.
