The Experiment

Chapter 11

Nathons POV

I look at Iris as she drifts off to sleep and I couldn't help but smile slightly as her face looks peaceful for now. She was the youngest of us yet she tries to act all brave but I saw  through her act. I move my hand through her hair as Jennifer,Barbra and I head to camp.

The vast dessert shimmering in the settings sun gently lapping at our forms.

I imagine what it must have felt like to not remember what the sun felt like, the sand underneath your feet and the wind in your face.

I shudder at the thought and Iris frowned but I stroked her hair and she slowly looked peaceful again. I mentally sighed as we walked to camp through the barren landscape. By what shes told us I know the scientist will stop at nothing till they have her back and now were on their hit list.

We  reached the place where Nathon and Jason managed to finish making the hole but with more area then before. I made a small bed for Iris and lay her sleeping form on the blankets and pillows.

She groaned slightly but other than that she was silent. Jennifer sighed as she checked Iris's temperature and wrapped new bandages over her still bleeding wound. At least the diamond was out.

"Nathon" Barbra called alarm growing in her voice, Iris's temperatures getting higher. I sighed as I watch Barbra put a damp cloth on her forehead and I turn away to make the others beds.

Once the beds were made I watched Iris and didn't eat anything the others offered me. I just stared at her beautiful tan face with her faintly parted lips and closed eyes making her look peaceful. Please don't die Iris, we confess love for each other even though it's been a week since she escaped. Maybe it was the way she risked her safety to get us out even though it was a rescue for her the only one right now still sane. Or was it the way she held herself even though she was scared.

The only thing I know now is the extreme love I feel for her now. My beautiful Iris, the victim, the protector, and the warrior. She's been through more than all of us since she was still a child, with innocent and ignorant beauty that some want to have again.

A small whimper makes me jolt out of my thoughts and I see Iris thrash a moment then settled. The others must have fell asleep while I was thinking. What was she dreaming?

Iris POV

No! The young girls and boys blood on the walls were sickening to look at as I was brought in to another torture session they didn't even try to cover it after the year I've been here.

There was blood and other fluids on the ground and a few bodies that collapsed from blood loss. My stomach churned at the bodies that had whip marks, knife marks, and so many other marks from the weapons that most likely be used on me.

The whips were on the walls with knifes, swords and other weapons I don't know of . I shuddered as they chained me to the wall, one grabbing a whip the other leaving the room locking us inside. He smiled darkly at me as I sat there chained, helpless to do anything as he positioned himself behind me with the whip pulled back and I watch the whip in slow motion come down leaving me with a searing pain, but I won't cry out.

The scene shifted...

I was standing in the middle of a machine and The Resistance. The machine looked eerily familier but I don't remember where.

Jennifer and Barbra had similar expressions of fear, but looked forward grimly. Jason and Daniel look grim but stood in front of the girls. Nathon stood in front of them all but there was no fear, just grim acceptance and sadness. Me I didn't know what to feel, sadness, fear. All I know is that I rather die first the Resistance, hope to people who can't give it and they gave me hope, friends maybe even a family.

I know I won't let them fall.

Then the machine loaded a knife in like a cross bow and I closed my eyes hearing a familier sound of the release and my thoughts froze and everything black and empty.
