After the events

Red. That was the only thing going through my mind; glowing, murderous red. I could barely breathe. I heard the whir of a mechanical arm, and memories that weren't mine flooded into my head. A man and a woman laughing on a beach close to what looked like a house. A little girl in a white hallway as a man walks by. He yells at her and she runs away. He looks heartbroken and full of regret. And then the events of the day. That THING staring into my eyes, asking me for help, telling me who I am. But all the while sad. And I thought I could trust him... Then blue. A safe, welcoming blue. And a voice. A voice calling my name. I sit up. Pheonix is crouched next to me with Mimi. "Wheatley" I whisper hoarsely. "We know, we know, it's all right." Mimi says softly. "We'll find him." soothed Pheonix. I sat up on my knees and grabbed her shoulders, "But what if we don't???" "We will. I promise." she reassured me, "By the way, nice name. Alice Chell Jones." I smiled, "It has a nice ring to it."

Suddenly, GLaDOS came on the speaker. "APERATURE SCIENCE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT TEST SUBJECT #008 HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN AN APERATURE SCIENCE HANDHELD PORTAL DEVICE. AN APERATURE HANDHELD PORTAL DEVICE WILL BE GIVEN IN 3...2...1." A portal gun fell from the ceiling right into Pheonix's hands. "No. Way." she breathed. She stuck her hand in the end and shot the two portals. Then, she pressed the third button. I screeched as I was lifted up into the air. Pheonix started laughing. She swung around and I was pulled to face in front of her. I screeched again and that made her laugh so hard she fell over and dropped me. Mimi and Pheonix were laughing as I tried my best to look upset, when I heard a very familiar voice coming from a ledge up above us. I looked at them to see if they'd heard it too. It didn't seem like they did but I KNEW I heard that voice.
