The Lab

Chapter 2: Lesli

Lesli was skipping home after she finally managed to get a decent grade on a test. She had terrible grades because she was just always talking. She figured it was bound to happen, because she tried her best not to talk. It was hard. She doesn't have her phone with her, because her parents took it away. She then heard a scream in the distance. "FUCK!" 

"Um.. OK then." She said, slightly concerned. She heard nothing, and continued walking, slightly cautious. "Someone! Help!" The voice screamed. At that point, she was already running towards the hill, that led to a small town with around 10 houses in it. She tripped on a rock and landed face first into the ground, which was followed by a squeal, and her tumbling down the hill. She hit a silver and white van, labeled 'Scott's Furniture' in fancy, cursive letters. She looked at her legs to see several cuts and bruises. She then put her finger above above her lip and wiped. Her nose was bleeding. She was in bad shape, and she thought her nose might be broken, and she might've sprained her ankle. 

"Hello..? Is anyone there..? I think I-"

"Hel- Oh my gosh! Are you OK?" Said a man, in a long, white coat. She hesitated for a moment, then replied;

"Um.. I think my nose is broken. And my ankle. Well, not broken. Sprained. I just fell down that hill.." She couldn't remember why she was even going to the hill. 

"Aw. Do you live around here? I can take you home." The man replied, in a sing-song voice.

"That would be good.. I- I live just up this hill, 3rd house to the left."

"Alright! Just get in the back, OK? Do you need help standing?"

"That.. would be nice.."

The man gently grabbed her arm and lifted her up steadily. Then she felt a piercing pain in her left arm.  She let out a piercing cry, and yanked her arm back out of reflex.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" The man said, in a soft, yet shrewd voice.

"What... What did you do to me..?" Lesli said, on the verge of tears, from pain and fear. She began to feel... Drowsy. The man dropped her and kicked her in the back. She screamed and began to sob. She got even more tired, and her last thought was if she would ever be able to show her parents her good grade.
