The Lab

Chapter 3: Emmaline

Emmaline never liked being home schooled. She had almost no friends. She was practically a loner, except she didn't want to be, so she hoped that meant she wasn't. Her parents weren't very protective; Not at all actually. She had gone days without coming home and the hadn't seemed to care. Those were usually her rebellions. She thought maybe if she didn't come home, they'd agree with her, and she could blackmail them with it, but nah. Her parents just don't care.

Emmaline decided to go to the park. While walking, she thought she heard a squeal down the hill towards the neighborhood people called 'Loner Street' Because almost everyone there had like.. zero friends. She walked towards the hill, to see a girl rolling down. All she could do was chuckle until she heard the loud bang of her hitting the van, she stopped and winced, imagining the pain. She saw a suspicious looking man walk over and begin to talk to her. She hid behind a rather wide tree and watched the whole thing play off. When the man helped the girl up, Emmaline rolled her eyes and began to walk off. 

"It was just a kind man helping a girl in need. I'm so stup-" She began ranting to herself, until she heard the screams of the same girl, only to turn around and see the man kick her.

"H.. Hey! What was that fo- " She started, until she felt a needle in her arm and a hand over her mouth. She couldn't do anything, but bite the hand. Which is what she did. She began to run home so she could call 911, but she fell. It was almost as if her legs just.. Lost all capabilities. But she wasn't going to give up there. She began to do the army crawl, until she felt a sharp pain in her left thigh, and she let out a piercing cry. She turned around to see what looked like the coated man from earlier, stepping on her leg. 

"You.. Are not going anywhere." He said, and smiled slyly.

"What the hell do you want from me?" She said, looking him dead in the eyes. He laughed.

"Oh, I dont want anything from you. I just can't let you tell anyone what just happened." The man replied. Emmaline began to feel drowsy.

"Ugh.. Well, let me go, and I swear I wont tell anyone," She said, hoping that he would take it.

"Are you retarded? No one falls for that." Her eyelids are getting very heavy.

"Well... I-" Emmaline screamed as the man dug his finger into her spine.

"Who.. Who are you..?" Emmaline asked through bared teeth and tired, pain filled eyes.

"Just call me.. Doctor."
