It was always so hard for Edison to choose a good target. There those who he believed should be punished for their misdeeds, the senseless killers and such. Then there were the heroes, those he only desired to help. To make stronger. And finally, there were the neutral parties, the citizens and empowered people who did act. They were the obvious choices, those who needed the most help. The ones who needed to get even stronger than the rest.
That would be the next choice.
It was hard picking locals. It would cause too much of an upset, people who get involved and so forth. Of course, he had taken them before and had yet to get caught, but…well, it was always safer to take someone else. Or at least someone no one would miss. A runaway or town drunk. But the college town he was currently in was small…it had a small population. But, he wasn’t without hope. The town was one that had a lot of people passing through…so maybe, just maybe he could nab one of them. He even had the perfect playground set up for them.
It took a few days, especially with the lectures he had to give, but he stumbled upon a woman, one with a van who looked as though she was passing through the area. She was alone and more than anything…she looked like she could use Edison’s help. That was good. He was happy to help anyone, given they seemed as if they needed it.
The capture was…an interesting process. It took a lot of tracking, following, and so forth. He had Nine do most of that, though, there were a few days in which Edison did take the lead, learning her round abouts and such. She seemed to live in that van, which only made this easier. It required a bit more…force to get her. A higher dosage of the sedative than normal, but that only met she had potential to get stronger. From there, Nine and Edison drove her van to a wooded section of the county, a place long abandoned. Originally, there had been a mine there, but eventually there was a collapse. Later, a farmer tried to settle there, only to have the entirety of it cause another collapse, it too getting consumed by the earth. Eventually the woods had grown over it, though there was still a well which led down to one of the farm houses. From there, old tunnels still connected most of the area. A maze. And after some handywork it became a place for Edison to do his true work.
They would dump their victim into a silo which had sunken the deepest into the ground, essentially creating a large hole that would require the climb to escape. From there, it would be a long tunnel forward which would eventually split, one leading to the old barn, the other leading to the old farmer’s home. Of course, the little lighting in the area would make it hard to traverse this entire zone, and then there was the beasts that were lurking about. Those would come into play much later on.
Watching over the girl Annalise was Nine, who was sitting upon an open hatch that looked down into the silo. She quietly awaited the girl’s awaken and they would go from there. She hoped that the girl would act…understandably, but that was rarely the case.
That would be the next choice.
