Sharpen Up The Knives 8
I use to think I would never come again….. At all even. They had policies for that and the pills made it nearly impossible to feel that. I would try all the time. I tried to get there and nothing. My hands would shake, my heart would race, sweat forming on my back. A cold sweat. Then I would remember the mantra. I would remember the code, I would write it down over and over till it went away.
Our bones, our skin we will not let you in.
A scheduled talk with The Mouth a reminder of the purpose. A new injection and I was good as new. At least I thought I was. I don’t tell Carmen this. She does not need to know that I couldn’t even get myself off and would almost go crazy without my mind control. That would freak her out. She has seen me kill two people already. I did not need another reason for her to take her body away from me.
“So what about this……where did you get this one from?”
“From Antarctica.”
“It looks like a burn or something.”
“It is. Its so cold there that you burn if you stay out long enough….”
“What does it look like, feel like…….god I can’t ever imagine something like that. I grew up my whole life in L.A. and then I came here with my……” Her eyes big and bright…… the brightness dims she wants so much to understand all of this; she wants to understand why her family had to die for this.
“Carmen?”
“No its ok……………… I came here…..and its frozen……and the cold here is so brutal…….I just can’t imagine the things you must have seen.”
The things I saw.
The submarine I was on. The fact that I could not leave my quarters because of the “no women” on board policy. The hours of decompression just to get on….god what was it like 36 hours of decompression. The days of travel, no contact with anyone but the commanding officer. The re-compression just to get back to the surface. All for what? Some crazy scientist doing illegal genetic research?
Should I tell her how I used an ice pick underwater to chip away at the opening of the facility? Should I tell how I broke through and grabbed the first of 5 elite guards and stabbed him in the chest seeing his blood freeze in the water? Should I tell her how I crept through wearing the most cutting edge in thermal diving gear? How once I was there I changed to the level 5 climate suit? No she does not need to hear that. It will sound too Tom Clancy for her.

Wow……….I’m Without words. Amazing writting!!!
I agree with bum…very sexy. Shane sharing her past by talking about how she got all her scars is hot! I love it!
Wow, thank you so much for the dedication. No one’s ever dedicated a chapter to me before, and to have my first be from you, well, that’s beyond flattering. I’ve nothing to offer in return, though, except my reading honesty and loyalty (heh, I remember the first comment I dropped in NIN ch2 a looong time ago). And I’m super glad I made your day. As for the story, well, it’s fricken sexy. No I don’t mean because Shane and Carmen have a *very* healthy appetite for each other (as evidenced in this hot-ass update), but because the characters have real chemistry. Their minds and bodies find ways to fit and just complement each other in a way that’s impossible to refute, and you’ve done an awesome job at presenting that integral part of the story. Awesome.
Your writing is absolutely mind blowing!
“Who is Tupac?”, “Never mind”. Hilarious. Glad Shane is opening up to Carmen. I don’t know if Shane should go after anyone in her condition, I guess only if she didn’t have a choice. Luv the update.
