"My head!" I cry. I can feel tears rolling down my face as I awake to only be greeted by pain. I can't see anything but the floor is cold and hard and the air smells.. rotten? I try not to puke from the overwhelming stench and I hold my head with one hand and hold my nose with the other but instead of getting up I stumble and catch my fall with both hands, they land in liquid? I yelp in pain from the sudden moment. "Hello.?" I whine. I get up and feel my hands trying to inspect the liquid that was on them What is this? Where am I? What did they do to me! Why can't I see! I touch the wall and start walking trying to find a door or something that can help me. I jump as my foot hits something on the ground. "Hello?" I reach down and touch the object. "Help.." Boy was I wrong, it wasn't an object, it was a person! The man struggled to speak and coughed up, what I assumed was, blood as I heard it hit the floor. "Are you alright!" I held my hand out to where the voice was coming from. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up. "I'm struggling to breathe, but I'm ok for the most part." He muttered. "Can you see anything?" I asked. "Barely but there is a door." He coughed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me somewhere after I wiped the liquid off on my clothes. After a few steps he screamed. "T-They're, dead." He stumble backwards almost falling on me. "What?" I said confused. "The horrid stench, its human f-flesh." He tightened his grip on me and he sprinted towards the direction of what I believe was where the door was, which wasn't very far. The man started twisting the door knob and after he realized that it wouldn't open he began banging on the door. "Help us! Somebody! Help!" He yelled. I'm terrified, I cant see, my head hurts, he is banging on the door, there are goddamn dead people in this room, my adrenaline is going through the roof. The door finally unlocked and opened. "Don't move!" Another unknown man yelled. I heard a gun reloading so I did as I was told. I can't breathe, I think I might pass out. "Help us please!" The poor man croaked. "Subject 239 I said don't move!" The guard? yelled in response. I heard 239 stop moving. Two people entered the room and one grabbed my arm and I could hear the other following behind me as I was pulled somewhere. I could hear only four pairs of footsteps while we were walking. "Why are we here!" 239 said next to me. The guards didn't respond. "Please give us some answers!" They still didn't respond. After a few minutes of walking silently we were shoved into a new room and the door behind us locked. I heard 239 sigh, "I am so confused." He said. I didn't know what to respond with so I decided to say nothing. "Hey, why do you have a blindfold on?" 239 asked. "You think I know!" I snapped at him. "Sorry.." I said and hung my head low. "Its alright." He says and walks over to me and takes off the blindfold that was on me. I hear him stumble backwards and I hear shock in his voice. "Your eyes.." "What about my eyes? Why cant I see..?" "You have no eyes.." What? My eyes? What happened to my eyes? "What do you mean I have no eyes?" I couldn't believe it. "They took your eyes.." I put my hands to where my eyes where supposed to be, there was nothing but liquid coming out. I'm bleeding? "Its not blood, its black." Its like he could read my thoughts, wait, black blood? "That can't be scientifically possible!" I cried. I didn't want to accept it, that must be why my head was hurting. I felt sick to my stomach but he hugged me, it was actually quite comforting. "Why aren't you afraid of me?" I whined and cried into his shoulder. "Because you're not a monster." His answer calmed me a little. Somebody unlocked and opened the door. The person walked towards us and grabbed my arm forcefully "Hey, let her go!" 239 yelled. I heard a button click and 239 scream in pain. I was pulled out of the room and began shaking in fear. "Where are we going?" I said quietly. "To the operation room." A female said strictly. "No, please no!" I tried to resist, suddenly I was stabbed in my arm. I screamed and then my head hit the ground and everything stopped, once again.
