Alice's POV

I sightly opened my eyes. My arms and legs felt sore from being strapped and running around. As my eyelids fully lifted up, my blurred vision was clearing up.

"Ah well, hello there, darling."

My eyebrows scrunched as I saw an unfamiliar face in front my view. He had long dark blue-blackish hair tied in a ponytail with red glasses and red eyes. I gasped and backed away.

"I'm sorry. You must be confused and frightened. Let me properly introduce myself. I am Lucido. I am the one in charge of this operation. I've been dying to meet you." He smiled wide, lips-closed.

I just stared at him anxiously, and then I took in my surroundings. My arms were tied behind me with a rope around my wrists. A rope was also tied around my ankles. We were in a small lab room. Tables, stools, tubes, and other lab tools were surrounding me. I was laying down on the cold floor, tied up.

The unfamiliar man kneeled down in front of me as I squirmed away. He leaned closer. I immediately turned to the right, breathing heavily. He grabbed my chin to face him. He was now hovering over me. My heart pounded like crazy.

"My dear, I can hear your heart pounding. I'm gonna need you to calm down because...I need that precious blood of yours." He got off of me and walked away. I saw him grab an empty bag. Oh no, I know what he's gonna do.

He turned around towards me. I had restricted movement so the best I could do was squirm away. So that's exactly what I did.

I instantly felt a rush of wind as he sped up on top of me. "Oh no, you aren't going anywhere, my darling." He placed his left hand on the floor beside my head and stroked my hair with his right hand. "You are much too precious to escape from my grasp. I can't let you go. I'm gonna make sure I get every last drop of blood from you."

He pulled my arms from behind me which forced me to lean on my left side on the floor. The left side of my face planted on the dirty tiles.

I felt a sharp pain in the inner elbow of my left arm. I winced and whimpered a cry as I felt my blood rushing through the needle.

He hovered over behind me and pushed my hair away, exposing the right side of my face. He wiped the tear that streamed from my right eye and fell on the floor. He cupped my jaw and rubbed his thumb on my right cheek.

I shifted my body away but he pulled me back and leaned closer to my face. "Shh, shhh. There, there. Just relax."

I still turned away from him, breathing slowly with my left cheek still planted on the floor. He pulled my chin to face him as he still hovered over me. I stared at him dazedly as my blood was still being drained into the blood bag.

"Almost there, darling. You...are a very good blood bag." He took out the needle from my inner left elbow and held up the full blood bag in my view.

"See? This is your second blood bag. You are doing so good." He chuckled and smirked.

I stared at him dazedly from the floor as I felt myself being drained a little more than when Bellina injected my first blood bag.

Lucido stuck a band-aid on the spot of my left inner elbow where he injected. He stood up from the floor. "Now, I'm gonna put this second blood bag in the mini freezer next to your first one. And then I'm gonna get another empty bag."

He walked away and shortly came back. He kneeled behind me as I was still laying on my left side. He grabbed my right arm and punctured the needle into my right upper arm. I winced and a tear rolled down my right eye.

"Now, just relax just like you did before."

I was breathing slowly. I could practically feel my eyes start to roll back and my head was feeling lightheaded. I felt so weak, I could barely keep my eyes opened.

"Good girl. This is your third full blood bag. I'm proud of you for cooperating. You finally stopped fighting and just gave in. I'm gonna put this one into the freezer and start a new one."

He stuck a band-aid on my right upper arm. He walked away and came back with a new bag. He punctured the needle into my upper left arm.

I suddenly felt all my blood rushing inside of me. My heart started beating really fast, and I started hyperventilating. My body was convulsing like crazy from the shock of losing so much blood in a short amount of time.

I suddenly felt a strong wind against my flesh. I noticed Lucido was no longer in my view. Alexandar's face was the last thing I saw before I started seeing black dots and blurriness.

"Alice! ALICE! Can you hear me?!" were the last words I heard before I saw nothing but blackness.
