Charlie

I was dragged from my room even before I was fully awake. The last two weeks had been the worst I've ever head. I was strapped to a chair and this Fear Serum was injected in my neck and not only was the serum itself awful, burning through my body, making it ache, like lava in my veins. It made me itch, from in inside trying to claw its way out...it was what it did mentally to me. It sent me into my worst nightmares. Repeating them over and over and over. It was bad enough that I had poison injected into me, or living in my night terrors, but they also also hooked me up to some medical devices and monitors. While I relived all my fears they collected the fluid I produced in my brain while I was in this hyper fear zone.

I whimpered. I hated how scared I was. I hated to show Janson how scared of the chair and him I actually was. But the whimper was involuntary. The Doctors pulled me, kicking and fighting into the room. I did manage to take out one doctor. I twisted out if his grasp, and spun around slamming my fist into his face. He dropped with a bloody nose.

But they were like ants, they just kept coming. The one doctor dropped and two more were there to take his spot. Janson sighed, folding his arms, waiting on the other side of the room. He pulled out a walkie talkie and pushed a button. The Doctors were struggling to hold me.

The door flew open and a few huge guards showed up. A huge guard grabbed me around the neck and slammed my back into the wall. The back of my head slammed into the brick wall. It was the lull in my fighting they needed, two more guards pinned me to the wall. I wasn't going to go down without a fight. It was the only thing I had left. My will.

They took my family. They took my Gladers. They took my home. They took my name. Gave me a fake one and then took that, I was just a subject to them, a test number. They were slowly stripping my dignity now. But my will to fight back? I had that at least... For now.

Lashing out with my knees and legs, snapping at anything that came close to me. The guard holding my neck tightened his grip. His eyes were hungry and greedy. It sent a wave of fresh fear through me. His hand tightened, making breathing harder, not enough to suffocate me, but enough to make me panic a little. He leaned his body into mine. Shoving his knee between my legs, now I couldn't fight back with kicks. I couldn't fight much, there was a Doctor holding each of my arms out stretched. I snarled and snapped. I felt this guys breath on my face. It was making my stomach turn, and my panic increase.

This guy, pinning me to the wall with his body...he wouldn't do anything would he? There are other people around....Doctors and...Janson! Surly Janson wouldn't let that happen...I mean he clearly has no morals and could care less about kids suffering and dying...maybe he wouldn't care. The terrified sob tried to escape my mouth.

"Ahh. There's the fear I'm looking for. And I didn't even need that serum!" He whispered in my ear.

I slammed my head into his face, making him yell in surprise. He shook his head and tightened his grip around my throat with a snarl in my face.

"Alright. Rex, that's enough. I still need her." Janson said, he sounded board.

There was sharp poke in my neck, and the fight went out of me as my limbs went limp. The Guard, Rex, smirked as my eyes rolled and I flopped forwards, into him.

My limbs wouldn't work, but my vision and hearing were just fine. I wish it would just knock me out. What Rex whispered continually in my ear made me want to throw up. Janson did nothing but fiddle with the small electronic screen. I just wanted to curl up and cry or scream and fight, but none of that was an option. Instead, my head flopped backwards as Rex hulled me over to the chair.

Very unceremoniously he dumped me into the chair and started strapping my feet and wrists. He motioned for the Doctor to come forward. With the limited vision I had, I saw a long shinny sharp tip of a needle. I wish I could close my eyes and pretend it wasn't there. Instead, I saw it move towards my neck. He jammed it in and I felt the freezing cold Fear serum entre my blood system.
