~Secret Identity

Stories
Wee,this is the story I have written titled "Nobody" I might change it later on to something that fits better,but for now that's it. Tell me what you think,kay?

Chapter 1: The girl without a name.

The air was cold and bitter that night. The kind of air you can't stand to be in for more than 10 minutes.

I've been here for 3 days now, waiting for someone to find me. The dark sky never got any lighter, even in the daytime. The constant darkness almost drove me insane. It didn't though; I had been through much worse before.

An average human probably wouldn't have lasted for three days out here alone…with no food..no water..no one to talk to, only thoughts and dreams to keep you alive. I'm not human though, not really. The humans back at my home..they said it was my home anyways…they called me a hybrid, whatever that was. They called me their "Success" or things like "001" or "The first one", I didn't like those names…could you even call those names? I look enough like a human..I have all the basic features of one..everything…except I have no name. Humans have names…why don't I? Is that what a hybrid is? Maybe…I can't even call myself anything..just..”me”.

I want my own name, I want my own life. That's why I'm here now, because I ran away from them, the people who made me without a name. I had always hated them deeply for not giving me a name, and I always will. I felt like I was nothing without a name of my own. “Who am I?” “How old am I?” “Why did they make me?” These are things I always have to ask myself, nobody else can ask them or answer them for me, I have no friends, no family.

I have bright blue eyes and crimson red hair, like the color of a newly born rose. My hair is very long, about down to my ankles. My clothes are badly torn and extremely dirty. My dress is frayed and now the color of the dirt instead of the once bright white color it had been before. This dress I was wearing, I hated it too..because they had given it to me.

There was nothing special about it, no designs or embroidery, just like me. They never gave me shoes, because I was to stay indoors at all times. Now that I had, my feet were bloodstained and bruised from running for days without stopping. I never wanted to go back there, never. I hated it there inside that horrible building; the “scientists” were always doing things to me, always sticking me in my arm with some new substance. I was treated more like and object than a person. but then again, even objects had names. Nothing. I was nothing. I had nothing, I had nobody.

Finally, when the stars came back into view I decided to sleep, and then I could forget all about today. Forget who I was, forget I was nothing.

Chapter 2- The one who will save her.

When I awoke the next morning, I couldn’t feel a thing. My hands and feet were frozen and frostbitten by the harsh, cold winds of winter. I did not feel any pain; hybrids could feel no physical pain…only the worst kind of pain. Emotional.

I could not move, and I though I was going to have to stay frozen in this ice until it melted away. The cold ominous wind hit me like a whip. I felt scared, I knew that if I stayed here…they would find me and take me back. I had to keep moving, they were looking for me. If I stayed here until the ice was gone, they would surely find me by then. Trying to move was hopeless; I was completely covered in the thick, bitter ice. Never had I felt so alone and helpless..I just wanted to die..death was better than going back with them. My eyes were frozen the moment I had opened them, and stinging with dryness. As I looked around, I saw something running towards me, a tall, slim, dark figure….almost like a young man. As he got closer to me, I saw a large pointed object in his hands, and when he got to me, he began to strike the ice with the object. I had to ask myself, why would somebody save a poor, miserable girl like me? I didn’t even have a name! Why was this stranger trying to help me? Finally, the ice shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. The man shook me and shouted at me, and I just stared at him, wondering why he had done that. “Are you alright?!” He kept saying to me, looking rather scared. “W..Why did you save me?!” I asked contently, No..I did not want to stay there..but I had to know why.

“Why!? Because! You were going to freeze to death!” He said, looking at me like I was a psycho.

“Why would you save someone you don’t even know?” “Because it’s the right thing to do! I couldn’t just let someone die!” I didn’t say anything back. I just stared into his emerald eyes. His golden hair was shining in the sunlight as he smiled at me. “So..you’re alright then, Ms?”

“Yes, I am fine.” I stood up and shook the remaining pieces of ice off of me. “So…what happened? Why were you frozen like that? Not to be intrusive or anything..”

His eyes shifted to the number code on my arm: “001” Is what it read. “….Are you…?” He said, taking a step backward. So I explained everything to him about me. How I was a Hybrid…how I had no name..how I was nothing.

His face went blank when I had finished speaking. Like he was shocked.

“You aren’t a nobody,” He said, smiling at me.

His smile was like a new beginning, for once in my life I felt like I had hope…but I stood still, not replying a word.

“You can be someone…how about I give you a name?”

“You…would do that?” I said, with hope in my voice.

“Of course! Now…let’s see…red hair..blue eyes…you look about 16 or 17…”

I interrupted him.

“I do not know my age..”

“ I figured…you probably don’t even know where we are, do you?”

“No, I do not.”

“Well, we’re in Brooklyn…Brooklyn, New York.

“Brooklyn? New York?” I said in great puzzlement. Of course, I had no idea what in the world he was talking about…what were these places? I decided to just act like I knew what he was talking about, so I wouldn’t reveal my secret.

“Yeah, that’s where we are….So…where are you from, anyways?” Where was I from? Why did he have to ask that, of all questions? Keeping my identity a secret would be hard….I wanted to tell him all about myself, Yes,he knew..but I didn't want him to find out "what" I was a hybrid of...I thought that me not being human might scare him away, and ruin my chance for the first friend I would ever have. So, I lied….sort of, I was born in Brooklyn…this is where the lab was, right?

“I…I was born here…please forgive me, the ice must have had a bigger impact than I thought.” I lied.

“It’s alright, so…do you have a home?”

“No.” I said, I really didn’t have a home, so that was no lie.

“Oh….well, you can stay with me, if you want to…you can’t just stay out here, it’s freezing cold and the streets are dangerous..” He said, hesitantly.

I smiled.

“Thank you.” I said, still smiling.

So, I followed him back to his home, wondering what was going to happen to me, what was going to happen next.

This man I met in the dead cold winter, this man that saved me from death’s clutches….this man, who was my friend.
