Imagination's last hope: The quest to save the unseen world

Chapter 19

"Get up, you have to go." The same voice as before woke Rachel up. He lightly kicked her on her side. 
"What? Why?" She struggled to get up. She just wanted this all to be one big nightmare from which she could wake up and then continue on with her life.
When she didn't get up quick enough, the robot grabbed her arm and pulled her up. This made her sure that this wasn't a dream; it was real.
"You made the wrong choice coming here. You will be punished. Hurry up." He pointed to the door and instructed her to stand before it. He put a blindfold around her head. She couldn't see anything.
"Open." He said.
Rachel realised he wasn't alone. There were other robots on the other side of the door. If there was only one robot, she might have stood a chance at taking him down and getting away. But, she never stood a chance with more than one.
Once they opened the door, he pushed her through it. Two robots grabbed her arms and instructed her to walk with them.  She wanted to scream and fight. She had never been a person who just gave up; she had always been a fighter, but she was too tired now. The robots were too strong, and whatever they gave her made her so weak that she wouldn't even be able to run away.
The tears started rolling down her cheek. She had so many things that she wanted to do. She didn't even get to say goodbye to her parents or Caleb. And she promised Finnigan she would help, but now she has just ruined everything. 
"Stop crying." One of the robots yanked her arm. This didn't help at all. It just made her cry more. 
They didn't walk far, which might have been better for Rachel because she didn't want to overthink everything happening and what would still happen to her. And her legs felt like they were going to collapse.
Finally, they took her blindfold off. She was in a room with five robots. The room looked the same as the one she was in now, except it had a chair and a machine in front of the chair that looked like a giant laser. She got the idea that she would be sitting in that chair.  This room was even colder than the first one. Rachel wasn't sure if it was because it was freezing or because she was scared about what would happen.
They took her to the chair.
"Have a seat." One of them said. All of the robots sounded the same. The sound of their voice and the way they spoke all sounded exactly the same.
She sat down in the chair. It was a hard and cold metal chair. It wasn't comfortable at all. They told her to place her arms on the armrest and her legs close to the chair. The armrests had straps tied to them. They strapped her arms to the armrests and her legs to the bottom of the chair, then stood back. One of the bots was standing behind the laser. She didn't even want to know what would happen next. She didn't want to think about if it would hurt, where she would go after this, or how quick this would be.
Rachel wanted to scream and cry, but just a few tears rolled down her cheek. She didn't expect any of this to happen. Rachel has never been this scared before. All she hoped for was that they would get this over and done with quickly. She didn't want to feel anything. The robot pushed a few buttons and then aimed the laser at her forehead. She bit down as hard as she could, and the tears just became more and more. Once everything was ready, the rest of the robots stepped back and stood close to the wall, looking down.
The one holding the laser didn't say anything. He lowered his head like the rest and placed his finger on the button.
"Goodbye," Rachel said to herself.
