Chapter 40 - Little Pig

FLO POV

This is not real. This is not real. I repeated to myself several times as I walk alone in the endless white corridor. I tug in the sleeves of my sweater hiding my hands. I was lost and scared. I knew I shouldn't be here. I wanted my mom.

I cold draft blew past me and then I heard his voice. So soft and buttery.

"Come Princess."

I pivoted and went another way, trying to get away from the voice but I found myself in front of a massive set of doors and there he was. He smiled, beckoning me with his hand. I back away only to see the way I had come from was gone. I was trapped.

"Come. I want to show you something." he said softly but the menace in his voice was unmistakeable.

"No. I don't want to." I whimpered but something was pushing me from behind. I tried to look behind me but I saw nothing. "No!"

"Dear girl. Stop fighting." Another voice entered and Absalom's large frame stepped out from the darkness.

"No please. Please." I begged trying to back away but President's hand grabbed my small wrist and dragged me inside. "Please."

"Come now Princess. A smart girl like you should not be afraid of these things." President said. Master chuckled and walked in step with him as they dragged be towards the doors. It opened silently and the smell of disinfectant hit my senses. It made my eyes water as I tried to get out of President's grip. It was a futile effort.

I was now horrified. The room was so terrifyingly familiar. The tubes. The frozen children inside. I closed my eyes and tried not to cry to loudly. It sounded so scary in the vast room.

"Such fascinating creatures!" Absalom boomed. I tug my hand away again and this time President let go of me. I crumpled to the ground and hugged my knees. I buried my face so I can't see anything. I was so cold. I don't want to look up but a hand reached up and grasped my chin forcing me to look up.

Parts of his face was burned, the hand the was holding my chin had horrible scars running on it.

"Hello Flo." He rasped out. His voice barely above a whisper. "I have something I want to show you."

"Get away from me!" I screamed and tried to scamper away but his hand moved swiftly from my chin to my arm. He grabbed it roughly and when I tried to get away a slap met my cheek. "Please..."

"Come on now. Perhaps you can help me out Flo." He said and chuckled as he hauled me towards the light. President and Absalom were waiting for us in the island between the tubes. I glanced around and wish I didn't some were not frozen but were awake and were pounding on the tubes. Trying to get out.

I shrink away from them as my head started to throb.

"Aren't they such adorable things? Look how they are fighting to get out." He said in his raspy voice. I would rather listen to a nail against a chalkboard.

"Let them go.. please." I said seeing one girl, her features contorted in fear. "What do you want? What do you want from them? From me?"

"From them, their lives. From you, your skills and expertise of course." He answered and chuckled as I tried to pull away. Despite his deformed look he was strong.

"No." I said but he pushed me towards an operating table and behind it stood four more advanced tubes and my heart stopped beating as I recognized who were in it. "No please no. I don't want to do this."
