Alyssa felt like she was dying. Honest-to-goodness dying. Her head hurt, her legs hurt, everything hurt, she wanted to puke and was hungry at the same time. She moaned and rolled over. You know you've hit bottom when being kidnapped looks good... She thought. Even that didn't hurt this much! And then, just as soon as it had started, it stopped.
After her body had stopped convulsing, she sat up to see an exact copy of herself holding a needle. Alyssa shivered. The copy bent down and whispered, "I'm Jane. I'm your worst nightmare, Missy, but I'm not allowed to kill you." She paused, stabbing the needle into the wall two inches above Alyssa's head. Jane finished, "Yet. But the moment those freaking Scientists let us go, your dead, Princess. Capiche?"
Alyssa nodded, quaking. Jane walked away to where... Chad? was standing. Was that Chad? She quickly stood up.
As if he knew what she was thinking, he shook his head, "Not Chad. I'm Ryan. They split the personalities in our heads. So now Jane and I are 'real.'"
Alyssa sighed. She wished Chad were here.
