Nightshade

Chapter VI

Douglas: (entering the room) Well look what we have here- somebody who is still asleep.”

Hamish: “(watching Donovan sitting up) Would you look at that, Michael- she’s awake now.”

Melisent: “Now’s the perfect time.”

Hamish: “I just said that.”

Tabitha: “Where am I- who the hell are you guys?!”

Douglas: “Did you not remember me, Tabitha?”

Tabitha: “Douglas?”

Douglas: “You just did- I was expecting you to develop amnesia when you’re dropped dead to the ground by a hammer.”

Hamish: “As a matter of fact, we cannot tell you where we are. All I know is that you’re a feisty lunatic, so we decided to test you.”

Tabitha: “(petrified) No… no… What are you gonna do to me?!”

Hamish: “I just said it!”

Tabitha: “(glancing over a potion Rowen held in his hand) What is that- (disturbed) Nightshade?”

Melisent: “We’ll be looking after the experiment right after we set the process.”

Tabitha: “No… no… no, please!”

Hamish: “(pinned her head to the ground, fracturing her skull after she tried to smash the chains and escape) You really shouldn’t have thought about trying to escape, huh?”

Tabitha: “(with a muffled response through agitated tears) No… please let me go… Let me go!”

Hamish: “We can’t let you out. (he then released the poor girl) Sorry, not sorry.”

Holden: “(vexed) This shit is getting pathetic- can we start the process already?!”

Melisent: “I’m growing tired of your shit, so yes- we are doing it right now. Cooper, hold her by the chains.”

Hamish: “Will do, Miss Spencer.”

Douglas: “Now everyone, follow me.”

Everyone headed to the laboratory- whilst Cooper dragged the lass by the manacles- then the vicenarians attended the meeting in the backroom they recently discovered behind the oven.

Libra: “So what are we doing in the backroom?”

Joshua: “This is a secret hideout in case another walking corpse invades our apartment.”

Castiel: “Joshua has a point- it’s been getting worse and worse ever since Tabitha was abducted from our house.”

Demetrius: “That’s what happened while we were sleeping.”

Castiel: “That could be the case.”

Romero: “(entering the backroom and shutting the door behind him) Are you guys looking for me?”

Castiel: “(gasp) Yes, bro- where the hell have you been?!”

Romero: “I went to the bathroom to wash the blood off my hands.”

Castiel: “(paused himself due to skepticism) Romero, you did not just-”

Romero: “Kill another zombie? Yes, I did.”
