Outside the Laboratory

I cleared my throat, pulling my hands away from the carcass. I looked my pale hands over a moment, watching the blood that stuck to me. I rolled my eyes; he was being so difficult! A few breaths passed through my lungs. I could probably eat it raw, but the longer I thought about it, the less appealing the idea was. So, I pulled myself to my feet again.


“I’ll get it then” I spoke simply, walking the few feet away to chip at the log that had been the base reason the fire had been created before. I took in a few breaths, looking across the darkness. I was looking for a way to escape when I was finished. I wasn’t sure where I would go, but I could get away from this kid easily. If I needed to, I could probably knock him out and run. I kneeled in front of the log, taking in another deep breath before beginning to chip small bits of wood away.

Alec let out another sigh. "Wait, I can't just leave you alone. Let me come help you." He said reluctantly, he was still tired from the whole thing, but if he succeeded in his mission he would have all the time in the world to sleep. He wondered how he could abduct her, was she prone to head injury, or would just grabbing her work? Maybe, by chance he could get her to come willingly, without violence. He just needed to get on her safe side.


"So... uh, what did those scientists even do to you?" He asked her, picking up sticks off the ground to add to the fire. He didn't really look into who he was working for, probably a faulty move on his part. For all he knew he could be working for the worst people on the planet. Though they did pay alot. Was money more important than righteousness? Perhaps he wouldn't know until the last second.

The boy decided that he was going to follow me. I watched the shadows, looking for a way that I could possible run. I was sure that I would trip and fall—I was still very clumsy—but I wanted to try. This boy was going to try and send me back so that they could experiment on me. They weren’t particularly sure how I had been created; they had gotten lucky. For that, I was sure they would keep me locked up and I didn’t want that. I closed my eyes a moment at his question before pushing myself up off of the ground with enough wood. As I looked over, I could tell that he also had a few sticks; that would feed the fire once it was started.


“They ran tests. You know the normal science stuff” I shrugged, trying to play off my life of hell. He didn’t need to know what all sorts of evil things the men in white coats had done to me. I took in a deep breath, sitting back down next to the fire, trying to relight the once-bright flame. I watched the dark coals for a moment before shaking my head. “I know you don’t care, but I don’t want to go back” I was sure pity would not work on this boy, but as long as I was conscious, I would still try. “You wouldn’t want to be imprisoned, would you?” I question him, looking up from where my eyes had been resting. Pity wouldn’t work. I was sure, but something in me told me to try anyway.
