We are all trapped here...

DAY 2

I wake up.

My head aches, Probably because I was sleeping on a sheet on the floor...

I spend some time in the cell, just quietly playing my special ocarina. Eventually, I hear a loud noise, followed by an announcement. "Alright staff, today we will be doing some tests on our newest subject; 096. get her from her cell and take her to experiment room #1, for the first test. 049 will help, but make sure he doesn't do something he shouldn't."

096? Who was that?

I wait in silence for a while, processing the announcement, before coming to the conclusion that "096" is some sort of robot thing like '49. I continue playing my ocarina, before suddenly some armed workers come up to the cell. I hide my instrument, and look at them both.

Wait...

I'M 096.

they follow and guide me to a room with many tools, clipboards, etc. I lay down on the VERY uncomfortable bed and squeeze my eyes shut. What what are they going to do to me...? I hear them talking, but it's from the other side of the room and they had masks on, so I couldn't hear much of what they said. Suddenly, one comes up with a big needle, containing a strange, almost clear liquid. I feel a sharp pinch on my arm and I start to feel really strange & tired.

I pass out.

...

Waking up, I see that I am suddenly wearing a mint green patient gown. Ugh.

All my earrings were gone, for some reason they removed them. "Uh, she woke up early." I hear a somewhat familiar voice say. "It's fine, continue with the tests." A man says. That's when I notice 049.

He takes some of my blood, and puts it into a vile.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU SON OF A-" I shout, before I feel a painful sensation in my body. I scream.

"Quiet, 096. Save your energy for later, you might need it when your around '83." Some man says, clearly mad. "Yeah, he's a total freak." The other chuckles. 049 looks at me, sadly.

What side is that weirdo on?

A few more short tests were done, and they guide me to a different room, called the "interaction room". I walk in and they slam the door behind me.

I notice a strange... kid?

He had bandages covering his entire face, and short brown hair. He had a red patient gown, and he was sitting on the floor.

"You're new here?" The kid asked.

I didn't want to ask him anything, but I was curious. "How did you know?"

"You're wearing a green gown. You're a new subject, obviously." He mutters.

There was a very awkward silence.

"What's your powers, if you have any?" I asked, trying to start a decent conversation.

"Fire, shapeshifting and some others." He said softly & quietly.

"Oh. I can do magic by playing instruments."

...

"I'm melody, by the way."

"Okay... I'm '83."

"Sooo... what's your favourite food?"

"Meat & flesh"

...

"Oh."

Suddenly I noticed something. His entire face was covered by bandages, but how could he speak fine? his voice would be muffled, right?

"How do you speak OK?"

"hm?"

"I mean, how is your voice not muffled?"

He points to his neck. I pay attention, looking closely. then I realise. He has a mouth on his neck, somehow.

So that's why they called him a freak...

"Um.. okay... What's under all those bandages?

(Silence.)

"How about you stop asking questions."

We sat silently, for a while, before a worker walks in. "Alright, the interaction test has finished."

I'm forced to walk back to my cell. I rub my shoulder, as it slightly hurts. Then I suddenly realise I have stitches on both. Did I have them the whole time?

I cant sleep. Too many questions are running through my head.

who is that kid?

What the hell is up with 049?

Can I escape?

Why do I have stitches?

Why did my whole body suddenly hurt earlier?

(A/N: Hi! The days will be VERY short, as I'm making every day in the story into chapters & I'm of course not a good writer. I hope you're enjoying though!)
