Owari's Tale

Intermission: The White Nightmare

"I am #0026 [Don't remember me..please] you can also call me Black!" I said.
The girl looked up at me.
"Nice to meet you. I'm #0040 or you can call me Arachne!" The girl exclaimed, "I'm new here! I was made last week! I have some snacks if you want any Black?"
I felt bad for her. She didn't have long before the experiments began for her. I took her up on her offer and grabbed a bag of cherry gummies from her snack pile. I heard my number get called over the intercom.
"I have to go. See you later Arachne!" I yelled behind me.
My grin faded quickly once I was out of Arachne's sight. I was jealous of her. She hadn't experienced the years of torture yet. She still had a chance of becoming a normal kid once I set my plan in motion.

I stepped into the testing chamber. While I waited for them to begin the experiment I made a puddle of water to check my reflection. I always needed to remind myself that I was real. My skin was blacker than the night sky and my hair and eyes were white like paper. I had 9 gray tails that fanned out around me.
"#[FORGET ME] turn your gaze to the door," Dr. Acorn's voice echoed over the speakers.
I looked over to the door as it opened to reveal White standing there. White's porcelain skin was covered in bruises and cuts.
"Today's experiment will be seeing if two different variations of chromatic magic can mix. Guards please bring in #[I couldn't save you..the original you]," Dr Acorn said.
The guards brought white in and made him stand in front of me.
"Now terminate #[FORGET THIS FORGET you] to begin the experiment. #0026 [forget me please I don't want you to suffer] adsorb the essence given off by #0001 after termination." Dr. Acorn's said.
I watched in horror as one of the guards shot a bullet through White. His blood, white as snow, splattered on my face. I screamed in terror and grief. I collapsed to my knees with tears streaming down my face. My wails echoed in the tiny space.
"#0026 finish your task otherwise harsh punishment will be administered." Dr. Acorn said.
"Fuck you! You killed him! He was my friend you fucking bastards!" I cried.
"Finish your task Black! Your grief is disrupting the experiment," Dr. Acorn exclaimed
I was about to reach out and use a magical attack when my collar activated sending me to the ground with a powerful shock. I got up and forced myself to adsorb the essence emanating from White's corpse. My tears started to completely cloud my vision. The guards dragged me back to my cell.

Days later I wasn't done grieving for White. He was practically my only friend.
"Hey I have no clue what's going on but don't cry!" I heard a voice cry out.
The voice was White's. I barely noticed but one of my tails had turned a bright white.
"White?.. Is that you?" I asked.
My tears stopped flowing  for a moment.
"Is that my name? All I can remember is being put into this chamber with this funky dude in it." White said.
It had to be White. I wouldn't let it be anyone but him. I wouldn't survive without him. I cried a bit longer before I heard someone by my door. It was a girl with red skin, green hair and white eyes.

I woke in a cold sweat again. And there I saw Arachne standing over me.
