Beyond The Walls

4

       I gulp nervously as we are standing in line. I let out a yelp as I an yanked out of the line. I stumble as I am being pulled into a separate room from the others. This isn't something new but the guards could be nicer about it. The guard who grabbed me throws me to the floor and I hit my head on the ground with a sickening thud as I cry out in pain. I slowly start to push myself myself up as my head is pounding but I don't get get a few seconds rest before my head is pulled back by my hair. I grit my teeth as to stop from letting out any sound of pain.

      "Go over the the chair and sit there until the doctor gets here. Don't try anything funny or well.." he pulls on my hair harder causeing me to grind my teeth together as I let out a strangled cry of pain. Tears prick at my eyes.
 
        "Let's just say I will get to have a little fun"  he gets a sickening grin on his face, or at least of what I can see before he throws me back on the ground and kicking me. I quickly crawl over to the chair in the middle of the room clutching my ribs where he had kicked me

   Well that's going to leave a bruise..

        I have to wait for what feels like hours in pain struggling to not keel over in pain before the door finally open. Steeping into the room is Dr. Shell. She looks at me as she puts her long light brown hair into a bun on top of her head. Her dark brown eyes seem to be burning into my soul as she looks me up and down. She smiles at me, it obviously wasn't a real smile or at least not a smile of kindness. She is the main reason of our torture. Sure there were other doctors but none of them are as horrible or seen as much her.  It was rare to have a different doctor when you are older because you are the 'priority' as they say.

        "Hello again subject 209. I hope you haven't been to much trouble for the workers today." She looks at me as she puts on some latex gloves. I glare at her

        "I have a name besides 'subject 209' you know" I grumble out as i stare down. If she did hear me she ignores me as she puts on a face mask and starts talking again.

       "I heard about your little, let's say, outburst at breakfast this morning" she speaks in a cold tone as she walks slowly toward me, her hands behind her back as I sit in the chair cornered.

       I gulp back my nerves as I realize how shitty of a situation I'm in. She is older, smarter, most likely stronger, and standing I'm front of me where I am injured, smaller, weaker, and cornered in a chair. I press back into the chair trying to put as much distance between us despite being stuck in a chair. She stops right in front of me staring at me with her cold eyes. Her hands are still behind her back as she leans down towards my face. She moves her hands out from behind her back and to my horror I see an injection. This is bad, really bad...

      She continues "And well, I can't have you getting away without a punishment now can I" At that she sticks the injection into my arm.

       I try to pull away but she holds my arm as she puts whatever is in the I injection into my system. I stare at my arm, then at her, and back at my arm again wide eyed. My breathing quickening. She pulls it out of my arm as I look back up at her. She gives me a cold smile.

      "W-what did you j-just put into me...." I breathe staring back at my arm. Dr. Shell let's out an evil filled laugh.

       "Oh I don't need to tell you, trust me. You'll find out soon enough." And with that she turned around and walked to the door before walking me out leaving me in there by myself.

       I just stare at the door for a little still stunned by everything that has happened but I am pulled out of my daze by a sharp pain in my head. I grab my head at the pain gritting my teeth together. My breath gets quicker as I hold my head still sitting in the chair. They throbbed in my side gets worse. The lights in the room become to bright for my eyes and I shut them tightly. I hear the door open so despite the bright lights I open my eyes. The room is swaying and it seems as if the room is moving like waves on the beach. When I look to the door I don't see who I expect to see has enteredthe room.

       "Oliver...w-what are you-" i am cut of my the pain in my head getting worse and I drop to the floor clutching my head "Agh!" I feel tears beading up at the corners of my eyes.

       I look back up to where Oliver was wincing I'm pain as I do but he is gone. I look around as my head pounds when I see him in the corner. I stand up the world moving in ways it shouldn't as I do. I walk over to him before clasping in pain when I reach him. Despite my inner voice telling me to keep my eyes closed I slowly open them wincing I'm pain as I do. The pain is bad enough I struggle to get my eyes to focus. When I finally get them to I wish I didn't. I look at Oliver's face only to find that he looks like one of the creatures from my dream. I scream and scramble back the pain in my head deepening. 

       "No...No, no, no, NO!" I yell at the top of my lungs as tears start falling from my eyes. My shouts are to loud for my pounding head right now but I could care less. 

         I stand up stumbling and hitting into something. When I look at what I hit I see Harpers body covered in cut most likely from testing. I stare at her wide eyed as a choked sob escapes me. Her normally bright eyes are dual and dead. My breath becomes unsteady as I look at her. The pain in my head was long forgotten until it get sharper like a knife was just stabbed into my head. I scream in pain. I stumble backwards and hit the wall when I remember where I am.

        I'm in testing....she said she couldn't let me go without a punishment...this is the fucking punishment...It's not real..

     I turn around to the mirror that was a one sided window. "STOP IT! STOP IT IM SORRY!" I yell banging on the mirror as more tears slip from my eyes.

     Even now that I'm not looking at them the why they look is plastered into my mind. I open my eyes and turn my head as I bang on the wall only to see Emma with cold, dead, and bloodshot eyes. Blood is dripping from the corner of her mouth. I turn at run to the door as my vision refuses to focus because of the pain. I get to the door and struggle to try and open it. I start banging my head on the door as the pictures of Emm, Oliver, and Harper flood my mine. I bang my head on the metal door over and over and over again.

     "It's not real, it's not real, it's not real, it's not real! Stop! Make it stop! I'm sorry please! Make it stop!" More tears start running down my face then before. Or at least I think they are tears, they very well could be blood from banging my head on the door so many times. 

       It feels like my body is swaying and I struggle to open my eyes but when I do I see the edges of my vision is white and it is filling in the rest. I keep yell, screaming, and sobbing for them to stop putting me through this torture. The pain in my head from both what ever that witch put in my blood and from banging me head on the door is insane and impossible to bare at this point. I slid down the door sobbing like never before. I start banging the back of my head on the door never once opening my eyes again. And after what felt like hour apon hours of pain and torture I black out.
