The Experiment

Twenty Eight

I looked over at Natasha weakly. "Are you sure you are okay?" I asked.

"Yes I feel a lot better that blood helped alot, you though look like utter shit.... Sorry language I know," she said.

Charlie chuckled a bit "its fine. Im not upset..." he said. "Just be more careful. We dont want you getting into any trouble," he said.

She nodded.

"I feel like shi-crap," I corrected myself quickly.

Charlie gave me a dirty look. "Sorry, curse a lot at home,"

"And how does your mother feel about that?" He asked.

"Of course I dont do it around her," I said quickly.

"Thought so,"

I sat up completely wincing with the room spinning.

"Careful Iszy," he said.

"I know. Just sat up too fast," I said.

He nodded

I needed to tell Natasha about it. I had to. She needed to know so she would fight. "Charlie..." I whispered giving him the look.

"No. Not now," he hissed at me.

"Seriously whats going on between you two. Whats the hidden thing?" Natasha asked.

"Its hard to explain Natasha."

"But you two are a thing right?" She asked.

"No Natasha. We arent. We would both be killed. And plus shes human why would I want a human?" He asked sounding disgusted.

Ouch. That hurt.

I looked down.

"But you two do have chemistry," she said.

"I have a mate Natasha. Well I probably wont see him again," I chewed on my lip trying so hard not to scream "were getting out of here together you just have to trust me" but I didnt.

"He could be...."

Charlie cut her off. "Enough. Please. I dont want you punished for poking at this. You have to trust me. Nothing is going on between us. So please zip it," he said

She immediately looked down when he said the word "punished"

"Sorry. I just. Im sorry" she said.

"Its okay. Just dont bring it up again,"

"Yes sir," she said.

I looked over at her and gave her a silly look to distract her and to try to change the subject.

She giggled at my face. "Do we get to go out for socializing time with other people?"

"Yes. You will be able to go out from two to four. Movie time is at 8:00 tonight. Are you sure you're feeling up to it?"

"Only if Izzy is," Natasha said.

I looked at her. Great I was the decision breaker. "I dont know yet. What time is it?"

"1:90 pm. You still have bit to decide

"Whatever you want to do I'll do," Natasha said.

"You should have fun without me... don't let me stop you from having well as much fun as you can with others," i said.

"No. I'll stay with you and keep you company. I dont want you alone... it's not good to be alone while we are both in this healing period."

"I'll go with you," I said even though I want feeling up to it.

Charlie looked at me as if he remembered something important. "You missed med pass this morning. Here are your medications." He said.

I nodded and took them instantly  "sorry. I didnt mean to,"

"Well partially it's my fault because I didn't wake you... you needed your sleep." He said.

"Thank you," I responded taking a swig of water to wash the pills down.

"I can't believe I slept till 1pm." I muttered.

"I didnt want too wake you. You lost a lot of blood last night,"

"And I'll have to do it again tonight as well?" I asked.

"Yes. Every night. For the next three weeks," he said.

"And it'll feel like I'm doing over and over again?" I asked.

"Yes," he said.

"I mean think of the bright side Izzy. You wont be tortured for the next three weeks. Whats some blood loss going to do. Man, i bet it's uncomfortable but it's better then being electrocuted for three hours," she said

"True. Anything is better than that. Im sure I'll get it one day here," I grumbled.

"True," Natasha looked down.

"Lets change the subject,"
Charlie said.

I nodded not really wanting to think about it anymore.

"What do you want to do for the next hour?"' She asked.

"We can color?" She said.

I nodded and moved over to the bag of art supplies and sat next to her picking out coloring books for another. We passed markers back and forth as we colored.

"Girls is time for social time." He said.

Natasha and I nodded. This would be the first time i got to socialize with others (except Natasha) since i got here.

Charlie unhooked me and Natasha from our Iv. He didn't remove it but did tape it secure so it wasn't flopping around.

"Lets go girls," he said and led us to a room with mostly girls. There were one or two boys. "Do females and males get separated?" I asked

"No. Theres just more girls than boys at the moment in your age group." He said

Natasha and i nodded hesitantly exploring the room.
