Sailor's point of view
^^^Sailor (15)^^^
I was at the beach. No one was here at the time since it was winter and school was starting in a few hours. I always came here before school, to swim in the salty water. I was relaxing on a rock when I felt someone's hands over my mouth. I tried biting them but there was a cloth between us. After a while whatever was on the rag knocked me out.
It had been a few hours by the time I finally woke up in some sort of lab. How I know it's been a few hours? Well when I woke up I noticed a clock and it read one p.m. Since I was completely dry I was in my human form. I was naked but no one could see my body because there was a towel draped over me.
If I looked around I could see knives and other hospital equipment. I was strapped down making it to where I could only wiggle my toes. And that was exactly what I was doing when someone walked in. I tried turning my head to have a better look at the person, but they weren't in my line of sight.
"Hello, miss Black." I heard rustling of paper. "Miss Sailor Black. There are quite a lot of you. Your mother, Melody, was pretty busy with all those kids. It saddens me that your mother isn't with us anymore. She would've been an amazing subject. Oh well, I can have my pick of her twenty two kids. Do you know where your father," More rustling of paper. "Ah, Harbour Black is? Do you?" I don't answer him. "Ah, doesn't matter. We'll find him. I see your grandma came to visit? Ariel. After all these years, she's back. And she hasn't aged a day since the last time she came to shore."
"How do you know all this information?" I ask him with worry for my family in my voice.
"Ah, your sister. Bay was it? After enough torture she told us everything we needed to know about your family, including that you swim at the beach every morning. That's how we knew where you were. It was just a matter of ---"
"Where is she?!" I interrupted him.
He looked at me for a few minutes before he answered. "The zoo. The twin, Brook should be having a field trip there as we speak."
"That's enough chit chat." A new voice stated, even deeper and scarier than this boy's. "Get your samples already."
The boy nodded his head as he started working. Setting up his equipment. Soon he was ready.
"What are you gonna do?" I ask with my shaky voice. He didn't answer just poured some water on my legs. Then the pain started. He was tearing off one of my scales. I screamed in pure agony.
"Get at least five." The voice told the boy. And that's what he did. Later he would take my blood. All while I was strapped to a table. Hopefully someone is looking for me.
