DNA (Niall Horan fanfiction)

Chapter 6

They have been taking it easy on me, due to my conditions. Ive watched as other people have been scolding the scientist that works on me, and gave me my bruises. They were threatining to fire him, but he pleaded to keep his job. In my free time in my capsule home, I have been watching him. Putting aside the fact that he is a monster, he is kind of...fascinating. Ive seen him working on other projects, he works intently, wanting everything to go right. And he is always careful. But on the other hand, he treats me like a rag doll, which I find perplexed. Ive seen things written on his clip board. Including his name. Niall Horan. It was an unusual name, but flowed easily off my tongue. I watched him for probably a week on end because he is much more interesting than anyone else here. Trust me, ive tried to find entertainment in everyone else. But no one is quite like him. After a while I eventually healed, to the point where I could get up and run a little.

"Everlise Royal." I looked over at a tall brunette female.

"Are you ready to begin your testing again?" She made it sound like either way I had go do it. I quickly glanced at Niall, slightly scared, but feeling brave.

"Yes." I stood up, almost triumphantly, and walked over to the testing table when she opened my capsule. I waited for a few minutes before he walked over, a few stitches where the scratches had been, which was not even close to my pain. I sat down on the table, with correct posture, ignoring the stabbing pain, and watched every move he made. He looked up at me, and met eye contact with me. I inwardly cringed at this connection. He slightly squinted his eyes before he turned away. He looked at his clipboard and quickly jotted something down. I did a quick look over of him, noticing everything was the same except for a small thin wire around his neck, just like mine.

 "Are you going mad?" I asked. I felt, almost numb. Numb towards feelings. I didn't feel happy, sad, scared, or proud. I felt nothing. He turned towards me and talked with a voice like acid.

 "No. Why would you ask such a thing?" I crossed one of my legs over the other as he went back to his paper.

 "Because,  you have a wire just like mine." I gently twirled my collar between my thumb and pointer finger. He froze and then he slammed his clipboard onto the desk, and I knew all eyes were on us.

 "Don't ever compare me to you!" I didn't flinch, didn't move, I just kept twirling my collar.

 "Why not?" I asked, oblivious to the fact that I probably shouldn't have asked. He remained silent and just went back to his clip board. He sighed and looked up again.

 "Look, I don't know what they put in your medicine that is making you so brave, but when it wears off you're dead meat." Medicine. Maybe that is what's making me numb. I'm usually terrified of him, but today I don't feel anything.

"Don't you have testing you are supposed to be doing on me?" I asked. He glared at me, and then grabbed my wrist and began squeezing it. My hand began turning purple, and I started feeling anger and confusion. I started pulling my wrist away but he wouldn't let go. I looked up at him, just in time to see his wire give off a flicker of light. It was much less pain than ive been given, but it was enough to let him release my arm. Yep. Hes mad. A mad scientist. I gently rubbed my red arm while he cleared his throat and led me to a different station. It was pretty simple looking. First he weighed me, and I was shockingly underweight from the lack of any food at all. Then he measured my height, and I received a new hospital gown to dress into. It smelled much nicer than the other I had been wearing for weeks.

"Okay. We are done for today." Niall had said. "Go to your capsule." I obeyed as I walked to my permanent house, and sat down inside of it. The rest of the day, I spent watching Niall. I didn't want him to know I knew his name. I wanted him to trust me and tell me.
