Don't push me off the edge.

Chapter forty eight - Emma

" Want to?" I ask. I already did something like this a couple years ago, It was an experiment to see if it worked and I myself was a subject. It didn't kill me, scary as hell though. It was a public thing now, people could do it to win money? I wonder what Derek feared

" Sure I guess" He laughed.

The women brought us into a room, you first see computer monitors and things connected to a  closed off section, followed bye chairs near the wall next to the door.

She walked over to a computer typing things in.

" Name?" She asked, she tucked brown hair behind her ear.

" Derek" He replied. She types it into the computer, a profile of him shows up. Everything you would see on an ID.

" Okay, I need you to take you're shirt off and then I'll connect these things to your heart, they are basically a heart monitor like what they have in hospitals but cordless" Derek does as he's told, I can tell she was holding in a smile when he took his shirt off.

When she put the thing over his heart he slipped his shirt back on, then he put on a vest she handed him, he wraps it around his stomach. A button in the front of his stomach.

" Okay, so your going to walk in that room, and when you do, the door behind you will be gone And you cannot get out of that room, it may be small but your fears say otherwise. That button on you, only you can press and when you do push it the whole simulation will shut down" she paused before continuing, "You will be kicked out of consciousness and wake up, you can go on to your next fear by stopping the one going on, or calming yourself down, either works. As long as you can slow down your heart rate. If you can last an hour in there then you win two hundred dollars, maybe even more. You ready?" She asks him. He nods.

Before he walks in the room, I remind him. " It's not real," 

" Yeah," He kisses my forehead and steps in.

I can't see what's in there, and I can no longer see him when the door shuts.

" Can we see what he's seeing?"

" Yeah sure." She hands me a pair of glasses. And they observe him from a distance. I can see that he is in a room, it was like watching a movie. He was sitting in a chair with his hands tied behind him. His feet tied to the legs of the chair. And then I saw me emerge from the darkness.
