Stuck In The New Century (Spock)

2. H.D.M.O.F.

Walking through the corridors of this building felt like walking through a maze. we had been walking for hours when we finally approached a room filled with scientists and science experiments with even a capsule that looked like it was made for holding a person which to be honest scared me to death but at the same time intrigued me and made me want to learn more.

"So what exactly are you all doing down here?" I was directing the question at Markos but would have been happy if anyone were to answer it.

"We are trying to construct a machine which could literally stop a persons heart and instantly restart it when a specific time period is over" One of the men said while trying to connect some wires which had ripped.

"So you're pretty much trying to make a cryogenic freezer, has it worked yet?" I asked skeptical of it actually working.

"Just so you know it will work, I know it I checked" Markos said while emphasising on the word 'will'.

"Just because you checked doesn't mean it will work. You are trying to play God, not only is it not physically possible but it isn't right" I knew I was being rude but I also knew this wasn't right and could cause a lot of problems.

"You just need to believe, trust me it will help so many people just think of it, cancer patients or even scientists like us may be needed you need to stop treating this like it's such a bad thing ok stop being such a bitch" He had now decided to try and tower over me to get his point further across.

"That doesn't mean it's right if someone was meant to be in a specific time then they would be born in it what about when they wake up and have no idea what the hell is going on hmm?" I all but screamed at him since he wanted a fight we're gonna fight.

"How dare you insult my intellect! I have been working on this for the past two weeks and so far every test has passed with flying colours and all you can do is complain!" He was pulling me by my arm out of the room to scream at me in the corridor.

"Fine you want to be that way go ahead and do your pathetic excuse of a science project but if it doesn't work don't dare come back to me bawling because it didn't go how you wanted it" I was starting to walk away when what he said next was probably the most heart breaking and betraying thing I'd ever heard.

"Actually, you can't leave you see I thought you would be okay for being one of the test subjects in our next experiment" I was stumped the one guy I thought was my friend voluntarily decided without my permission to drop me in an ice box so that he could prove his silly toy was real and not just a dream, what hurt more was when I turned around and looked him in the face there wasn't any remorse or betrayal just a blank hard face.

"How dare you! I will not do that you either drive me home and I forget about this or you refuse I walk home and I make sure every single news show is talking about what you just told me tomorrow morning" I never was good at making threats but at this moment not only did I feel betrayed I was scared like hell at what might happen if he refused and they really did get me into that thing.

"Adelia please just don't fight me on this it's not even gonna be that long" He was making sound like I was in the wrong? he was the one who signed me up to do a dangerous experiment when I did't even agree with this to start with.

"How dare you, you little.." I would've finished my sentence if it weren't for the one strong man who had started directing me to the room we had just left.

"I'm sorry but you're a scientist you should know that we will do anything to prove what we believe in plus it's only a week and them boom you'll be up and running in no time" I was now officially scared he had this dark twinkle in his eye which I had never seen before all I could think was

Goodbye.

If anyone were to ask me how I would want to die I would say "Peacefully in my sleep or on my own terms when old age got to much" but I'd never thought that I would have this as one of my choices but to now know that this could be my end was not only scary but also saddening as I had never really lived but I guess that's life you never really have lived you just think you have but when you die even the biggest daredevils would think of everything they could have done.

"Starting of process in twelve" This was it the end I knew I could maybe start believing that this would actually work but I knew better I wasn't scared of death but I sure as hell was scared of pain.

"Eleven" I looked at everyone of the scientists faces some looked intrigued by the experiment some looked pitiful and some couldn't even watch but ten feet away was Markos with a look of absolute happiness everything he thought was real could be proven in these next few moments but to me I knew it would come crashing down.

"Ten" How could he do this look at me with no care that I was crying, praying he would see that I was scared but no, all he could do was stare and smile.

"Nine" I felt frozen my entire life had led up to this my parents would have no idea where I'd gone.

"Eight" My older sister would have to get a maid of honour replacement.

"Seven" My little brother would have to have another girl to be his magic assistant.

"Six" I would never get married.

"Five" Never have children

"Four" Never have grandkids

"Three" I'd Never get to say goodbye to anyone

"Two" This was my end

"One" I was sure of it, I could feel it.
