alien eyes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a dreadful silence filled the lab

now that 72 is gone.... will 62 be next?

muffled cries came from a few scientists, mostly girls. some shook their head in disbelief, some still tried to revive 72

Luna stood expressionless, still staring at 72 monitor. hoping a pulse would appear on the screen, biting her lip so she wont tart bawling her eyes out in front of everyone

Blank stared at the motionless 72 in the case. then looked at 62, who looked just fine, except for her eyes, which was now dark like if she overdid the eye shadow

he looked back the 72, his chest going up and down from the shocks he was getting from the scientists, still desperately trying to revive him.

until Blank snapped

"WHAT ARE TRYING TO DO? KILL HIM EVEN MORE??"

those words struck Lunas heart deeply

everyone was suddenly silent again, the girls leaned on their friends for comfort. while the boys backed away from Blank, the ones trying to revive 72 stepped away from the panels like if it was suddenly swarmed with spiders

Blank sighed "everyone, just.... go back to your stations, nothing have happened. and dont say a word to the public"

Blank scooped up his camera and walked out of the lab like if he just did a murder and left the room like if nothing happened. unfortunately, that is what happened a nano second ago
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luna was in her office, bawling her eyes out. she didnt even want to see 72 in this state, not ever. no, she don't ever want to see him again

a small picture caught Luna's burning eyes. it was dark but she could see herself holding something. someone. 72, when he was a child, before he grew up in the glass case. she could remember Blank holding 62 as well. Luna was in charge of 72 while Blank was in charge of 62. could it be in his heart to let her survive?

it was nighttime where the ship is flying now. and everyone was asleep, monitors keeping track of 62. Luna dont know if 72's monitor is shut down.

something told Luna to go see 72 one last time, since she has been with him ever since.

Luna gave in and headed towards the lab were 72 and 62 were held. the plain white hallways were dimly lit to save energy

Luna looked away the moment the automatic doors slid open.no one was in the lab. she walked towards the glass cases, her gaze still on the ground.

Luna stopped infront of 72's case the only source of light came from the blue monitors and the cases. a light lit up the case, making it glow orange. 62's case glowed, while 72's didn't

his case was draped over with a large cloth. Luna blindly pulled it down. revealing 72, still floating in the case. wires and his mask are still on. Luna could remember whenever one of their experiments died, they would give the species a last chance over night to revive. none of them came back. and each one was draped over with a large beige cloth

Luna forced herself to look at 72. his whole body was now a pale white. like a ghost. his chin was at his chest. dead and lifeless

Luna was not stupid, but she knew speaking to a dead species is crazy.

"hey 72" she said softly so no one would hear "you know, about today. i knew how you felt"

she placed her fingertips on the cold glass

"i saw you when the head boss came up to you, you knew he was a bad man. it wasnt Blank who killed you, it was Conor"

Luna pressed on the glass

"Blank just wanted to help you, he just didnt know what to do"

"you see, he just wanted to sell you when you awaken with 62. he was going to give you to the head boss. i didn't want that to happen"

Luna pressed her head on the cold glass

"forgive me 72, i tried" Luna said, tears beginning to well up in her eyes

a tear fell from her cheek "forgive me 72, you dont know how much i love you"

Luna began to cry when a beep made her stop, it was 72's monitor

Luna gasped and checked it, a small pulse came from it. Luna felt her heart lighten

a breath came from the mask, followed by a movement.

Luna saw that his fingers were moving. her eyes widened

hes alive

suddenly someone entered into the lab, it was Blank

"i saw something happening to 72, i came as fast as i can" he said running up to the case. his jaw dropped when he saw 72's fingers

"impossible" he breathed as he checked the monitor. a strong, yet weak pulse came from 72.

"sir hes alive!!!!" Luna shrieked

"but how?" Blank said looking at 72, he could see his eyes moving under his eyelids.

Luna calmed down a little, but she couldn't keep her excitement in

"i-i dont know, i was talking to him and he somehow revived" she slapped a hand to her mouth

Blank looked at her "you spoke to him?"

Luna blushed and nodded, looking at the floor

a big grin came across Blank's face "well Luna, you have some talent" he said

as Luna went back to her room, she couldn't stop smiling. she actually revived 72 by speaking to him.

as Luna laid on her bed, she knew that 72 must have had a little bit of strength and heard her. she smiled and fell asleep at that thought

in her dream she was teaching 72 how to walk, Luna held him around the waist in full clothing, he kept looking at Luna with alien like eyes and a small smile spread across his face
