As Mama Ashley approaches the elevator, she gives a slight smile in Fae's direction. ''13-7, hello.'' She greets Fae, in a rather strict tone. Fae looks her up and down. ''I was a failure.'' she implemented. The anger rushing through Fae's body is making her tense up. Mama Ashley's ''Task'' for her, was to kill her.
To send her down where she doesn't belong, the outcasts.
To send her away, because she wasn't enough.
Mama Ashley grinned. ''We can talk back at your room.'' She gestures for Fae to follow her. Fae crossed her arms, unwilling to move. ''And what if..'' she remembers If she fucks it up now, she'll ruin it for everyone. She has to obey, she has to do the thing she hates, listen to them, give in to them.
After a few seconds in her own thought, she looks up at Mama Ashley.
''Ok.''
Nothing more than an 'Ok' comes out of her mouth. In fear of ruining everything, she follows Mama Ashley. They walk away from the elevator passing multiple guards.
This place is more secured than down under..
Mama Ashley stops Infront of a guard, standing next to a white door. She exchanges a few words with him, continuously eyeing Fae in between. The blood rushes through Fae's body as Mama Ashley opens the door to the room.
''Welcome home.''
The words spike her brain.
Home.
This is not home.
Inside of the room there is the usual table, with two chairs. But nothing else, the room is almost completely empty. Looking at the white tiles on the walls, is makes her tense up. Everything is so clean, not even a spark of dirt can be seen. ''Take a seat.'' Mama Ashley reaches out a hand, pointing at the chair on the opposite side of where she's standing. Although her sentences are short, they're very direct. Fae follows the orders given to her and sits down, across from Mama Ashley.
That bitch sent her away.
But maybe it was for the better? If she hadn't been sent away.. would there even be a plan?Should Mama Ashley be thanked?
Mama Ashley, who's constantly side-eyeing the guard at the door, reaches into the pocket of her lab coat, and takes out a tiny white box.As she begins to open the box, she looks at Fae. ''13-7, I hope you will understand that we need time to trust you. therefore, I will be limiting your gift.'' In a strict tone, she continues. ''You have to wear these lenses from now on. And don't even try taking them off, understood?'' She looks at Fae.
The box contained two dark blue contact lenses, in the shape of a triangle.Fae crosses her arms, before looking back at Mama Ashley. ''Understood.''
Mama Ashley gestures towards the guard to leave the room. ''Privacy, please.'' The guard nodded slightly, before exiting the room. Her eyes turn towards Fae again, as she stands up.''Lean your head back, this might hurt a bit.'' She sounds more soft now.
Fae hesitates the punishment. ''Help us, please.'' she pleads.
Mama Ashley puts down the box on the table, sighing. ''13-7, how am I supposed to help you? You got yourself into this mess, not me.'' She sounds compassionate, yet cold. ''How did I get myself into this when you didn't even tell me why you sent me there?'' Fae's eyes get teary, before she continues. ''Why.. Why did you?'' She tilts her head, waiting for a reply.
Mama Ashley puts her hands in the pockets of her coat. ''It was an order, 13-7.'' A cold-hearted answer. ''Please, we need to do this quickly. We can't take too long.'' She picks up the white box again. Fae crosses her arms, staring at Mama Ashley. ''I need an answer.'' Fae states. Her body stiffens just like the expression on Mama Ashley's face. ''Sit down, 13-7.''
After a while, Fae eventually nods and sits down against her will. ''As I said, this may hurt a bit.'' Mama Ashley takes the lenses and walks over to Fae. She takes out a tiny clear bottle of eye drops from her lab coat. ''Open your eyes as wide as you can.'' She takes her hand to Fae's chin, supporting her head. Fae opens her eyes wide, sighing deeply, she's afraid. ''Don't be scared.'' Mama Ashley comforts her, as she takes the eye drops to one eye, then the other. The eye drops are making Fae tear up, as she blinks continuously. ''Is it supposed to sting this bad? fuck!'' Fae tries to take a hand to her left eye, but Mama Ashley stops her. ''Don't touch it, I know It's uncomfortable but it will all be over soon.'' Mama Ashley looks at Fae with a slight smile.
Fae can feel Mama Ashley's breath on her forehead, as she leans back her head again. It's warm, yet cold at the same time. Mama Ashley takes one of the blue contact lenses out of the box, and opens Fae's eyes with her hand. ''Don't. Move. A muscle.'' She states, before gently placing the contact lens into Fae's right eye. A strike of electric shock spikes Fae's head, preventing her from moving as Mama Ashley takes the next lens to her left eye.
A few minutes pass before Fae is back to normal. Mama Ashley looks up from her clipboard. ''How are you feeling? any pain, nauseousness?'' Mama Ashley asks whilst writing on her clipboard. ''Other than being fucking electrocuted I'm great.'' Fae says sarcastically before taking a hand to her head and gently massaging around the temple.
As she massages her head, she feels a kind of emotion she's never felt before. A mix of anger, stress and sorrow. What happens now? Is the plan.. ruined? The escape? Will it ever happen? All sorts of thought race through her mind like a dog chasing a bone. A few tears fall from her eyes down to her lap. As she looks up, Mama Ashley has put down her clipboard and is looking towards the door, out the tiny window as if she's hiding something. She leans over the table, and looks at Fae. ''This is my job, 13-7. If I hadn't listened to the order, I would be dead.. and most importantly YOU would be dead.'' She looks serious, angry, frustrated. Mama Ashley has had enough.
She fold her hands as she leans back in her chair. ''Look, I sent you down there because you need to understand the things at stake here, It's a dangerous place for someone as powerful as you. If you were to be gone, I would never forgive myself for failing my job.'' Mama Ashley stares at Fae. ''What do you mean by that.'' Fae sits upright in her chair, as she lays her hands on the table. ''You're trying to act like you care for me, but you don't! I'm just another number to you!'' Fae screams so loud she kicks the chair behind her to the ground. Mama Ashley stands up in the matter of seconds. ''Keep your voice down.'' She whispers strictly. ''I would want nothing but for you to be free, do you hear me?!'' Her frustrated whisper makes Fae look down with her hands placed on two corners of the table. ''You won't help us.'' She laughs slightly. A laugh of frustration and grief.
"13-7, I wish I-" Mama Ashley is interrupted by a guard. "Dr., you're needed for an urgent matter." Mama Ashley takes a quick look at Fae, before getting up from her chair and walked towards the guard. "What is it now?"
