The main judge dragged her out of the school, firmly gripping her wrist and showing no signs of letting go.
"Mister, I would really love to but-"Clausia started to say, but the judge quickly cut her off.
"You would love to, right? And that's why I'm immediately granting this dream of yours for you. Come on, let's get along with it." He forcefully pushed Clausia inside a polished black limousine.
Clausia anxiously tried to politely leave. "Mister, I thank you for your generous offer, but there is still sch-"
"Pah! School, who cares? Once they know its me who brought you out, they won't dare say another word."
The main judge gestured to the driver in front, and after the driver locked the doors shut, they drove off in rocket speed. Clausia felt queasy. Something felt wrong.
The limousine was deadly silent. Clausia wanted to tell Miza about this. She was urged to take her phone which was still in her handbag that she was holding tightly on her hand, but she hesitated.
No, she thought, not with him eyeing me like that.
They finally pulled over at a deserted place. Only a quite tall white building was in the brown barren land where only a few withering plants stood.
"Come on," he smiled and pushed Clausia towards the entrance of the building,"This is where your album will be made.
Clausia coughed. Now she really felt unsure."I want to go back,"she croaked.
The man laughed heartily."Back? Well, you can after you're done with this. Don't really, it won't take--too long."
The man, which didn't seem much like a judge anymore, brought her up a huge flight of stairs. Though exhausted, Clausia still could not help but feel nervous.
She was thrown into a room and crashed onto an uncomfortable chair. The man hastily locked her arms and legs to the chair. Clausia's heart fell as cold sweat broke out and rolled down her pale neck.
"Mister...?"She whispered, feeling cold all over. No, her heart raced, no no no no no. It can't be. No.
The man gave a smug face as he adjusted a huge helmet-like thing onto her head, tightly strapping it. The helmet was connected to a mess of wires, that followed to a humongous machine behind her.
Thee man locked himself into a room.
"RESEARCHER!!!" Clausia screamed as he pressed a button that read 'START'.
