I wake up to a swollen head and body. My heart beating like a drum. The sound of snorting flows through my nose. I feel a difference, something is wrong. I try to move my arm, but it's stuck. I move my body, it's stuck and feels weird. I feel how the panic takes over, my heart beats even faster. I want to scream for help, but all I get is a big, thundering roar, it feels like an earth quick. Someone must have heard that. I am blinded so I can only listen after footsteps. I have no clue where I am, I just know something isn't as it should be. My body feels heavier but more powerful than it used to be, I can hear much better too. I'm glad I can't see 'cause my head is at at a roller coaster.
Suddenly, a door opens and voices fill the room. I hear their breaths. It's kinda awkward, I am in a room with several people I don't know. I hope they'll take off the bondage that blinds me, it's quite annoying to wear it. Luckily for me, one of the persons that surround me lay his or her hand (I kinda feels that it's a he) under my ears where the bondage hold my head down. Then I hear new pars of footsteps. They are loud and fast and reminds me about high heals. That got to be a women. Her voice is soft, but hard at the same time.
"Pardon for beeing late."
She get closer to me. Her voice change like if she sands bend over me.
"You must've gone through a lot of pain"
"No." I said, confused.
"I just woke up. Can you tell me why I'm trussed up?"
I try to move my body again, it's uncomfortable.
"You're more hairy that I thought." she said with a thinking voice still bend over me.
"Hairy? What do you mean?"
She probablly think I'm supid, but the truth is that I have no idea what she talks about.
"Somehow he got a type of virus into his body. It kills the cells with poison. It's damaging. Either they stop work or they get put to sleep. He's or should I say, it's cells didn't die, also option two. They're put to sleep. You could also say they're out of function. Instead the virus gave him a new DNA to replace the old one."
A new DNA! Is she crazy? She can't just take a human and experiment on it. I feel her touch at my fingertips. She bend down over me again.
"It's so facinaing what the virus did to you." she almost whisper.
"Don't be afraid when we take a few tests of you. We need to see if it worked."
I hear some weird sounds. It's like if someone slap plastic.
"It might sting a little."Without my acceptance, one of the people take a injection into my left arm. A big roar explodes into the air when the injection brake my skin. I could hear people jump aside, tools falling to the floor and screams is all around me. I know for sure I don't have any control over my body, 'cause it's impossible checking. Sting a little? That injection is one of the worst I have taken in my life.
"Calm down. It's just a sting." Then she turns and talks to a guy "We can't communicate with it." I hear her yelling.
"We have professionals working on the case." a guy little to the left says while moving around me with a sound like he taking pictures.
"What do you mean you can't communicate with me? I'm right here!"
"Beware the claws. They are keen."
The rope that held my chest, knees and feet down, start to brake. But my mind is on something else. My mind get back to the special chemistry class (last time I was at school, so far as I know, it might be more than one day ago), we had about a dangerous virus. We wormed it up on high temperature. The teacher said it could destroy your body in touch, but vapor wasn't dangerous at all. I guess he was wrong, 'cause I remember I was the only one in my class who dared to take off my gas mask. I have big regrets afterwards.
"Alright, we'll remove the bondage of the beast's head as soon as the professionals are here."I feel the atmosphere change to serious, when I hear more people coming. They brought with them something big and heavy, because when it touch the the ground, it left treerbly noises in my ears. The new people put something weird on my head. And soon after, the hand that held me takes something cold and sharp into my head. And not many seconds afterwards, the bondage falls off. A sharp light blinding me, but when I get used to it, all I can see is white. The walls, the people's jackets, the ceiling, even the hard operating table I lay on was white. I guess I'm at some kind of hospital or something i that direction. The next thing I discover is the big, hairy object that lays over my body.
"What is that thing?" I ask the high, beautiful, blonde lady with glases, also in white. She stands bend over me once again. Her eyes is at me, she seem calm but excited . She takes a deep breath and says:
"What's your name boy?"
"Elmo Clay."
The lady turn around to speak in the phone: "It worked sir. we can now communicate with the creature's inner mind."
"Good, ask how it got the virus, uslely it's in the same category as water. I've searched up Elmo Clay, he seem to do an extremely good work in his chemistry class. " I hear a manly voice says in the other end.
He's voice seems familiar, where have I herd him before?
"I'm not...quite sure...but...think it's...vapor "
The signal was failing.
"Guys, we're losing him, switch to another channel."
The profetionals get ahead of thinking a better way to switch it while the lady walk back and forth. My body get suddenly out of control again and moving, but I can't do anything with it. Then out of nothing, my voice suddenly get stable again. I try to say something, but the communicate system couldn't catch it.
"Say it again Elmo" the lady said quiet.I sight. Will they ever understand me? Is it to stupid or should I lie? I mean I could just say I don't know. It won't be that bad. And i don't really lie either.
"I don't know." is all I dare to say.
"Are you sure?" the lady ask.
"How can I be sure to trust you? How do I know you're not working for Alex?"
"Why should I?" she question me back.
I notice her restless movements. I can see in her eyes that I walk on dangerous deeps. Maybe she don't want me to know it, but it's to late now. She did talk to him when the communication system was ready. She still talks to him, and I don't like it after all. Alex or Alexander which is his real name, is a famous sciencetist. I didn't knew he experimented with poison and stuff like that. It must be one of the classic dark secrets. In fact, I've never met him so I don't know how he is. After what I heard when this lady talked to him, he seemed to be one of the bad boys. I guess he want to experiment on me. Ha has my DNA after all. Looks like I am one of his monsters to his collection for science. 'Cause I heard something like that the last time she spoke with him. I think he said I was the last one.
"Well Elmo, I leave you now, but Alex will soon catch you up."
I knew it. She does teamwork with that guy.
"And one last thing." She turned around and look at me with a creepy smile on her face.
"I think it's time to change you're name to something that fits you. Ain't you agree Rannygazoo? Gabriel, take the tests of the beast to my office immediately"
"Righ away." says a boy just a few years older than me with blonde angle hair quick, while taking the table with the tests out of the room through the tiny metal door.
I recognize him from my class. Then it makes sense why he's looked so sad at me at in cheremestry class. I thought we were friends, but if he works for Alex I can't trust him.
Even after the lady (I figured out is Tina) left, the people remain. My new name is stuck in my mind, what just happened? And why do my name have to be Rannygazoo? Anyway, they who still are here looks scared of me, but I guess they are afraid of losing their jobs by leaving. And that's what keep them doing what they do. An older lady comes towards me. She take a sign with my name (Rannygazoo) on it, aroud my neck like they are done for today and just do some tiny jobes untill the clock calls them home to their families. I think of my own and all that's happened to me the last hour.
"Here." she gives me a bowl with water.
The monster which isn't the real me lick like a dog. It looked discounting, it's all a big mess. I hate it when my body get out of control like it just did. I guess the monster's consciousness sees the rope that keep me or it down, 'cause it moved from side to side. It is smarter than it looks. It sees how it's about to brake. Again the beast gets one of the violent fits. People jump aside. I can't see much but i know they are scared of me. But the assault stops when I hear someone in the hallway.
