Experiment with love

Chapter 3

Jack's Pov

When I woke up again I felt an extreme pain all over my head. I looked around to find out where I was, I was still in the tank but there was wires attached to me. I began to move but was hit with immense pain all over my body. I cried out but eased myself into moving again slowly so what ever had happened doesn't get worse. I stop moving and look around again. I'm in that hospital room again but this time someone else is there with me. I slowly swim up still looking at the figure analysing it. "H-Hello?" I called out carefully. The figure shifts around a little. They groan deeply. "Mark? Is that you?" I call out again hoping it is him. The figure shifts again and opens their eyes. "Jack?" They hoarsely called out. My eyes lit up. "Mark! It is you." I move up quicker ignoring the pain it caused me.

"Oh looks like you're awake." A voice booms through the almost silent room. I recognised the voice. "Malcom." I glare at the window I had just noticed. "That's my name Jackaboy." He sounds gleeful again. "I want you to listen carefully to me this is important." He commanded. I flinched at his tone. "What do you want." Mark said robotically. "Just a little game I wanna play." Malcom's childish tone came back. "Fine we'll play." I complied. "Splendid. Firstly how much do you trust each other?" Malcom asked. Me and Mark looked at each other. "We've been around each other for years. we're basically family." Mark answered and I agreed. "Ok then. I'm assuming you know most things about each other?" I answered this time . "Yeah we tell each other everything he knows me better than anyone else ever will." Mark nodded with a look in his eyes like he hadn't told me anything. "Oh if you're soooo confident then we'll start our first test. The lie detector test. Basically these wires connected to you both are 1. a lie detector and you know how water and electricity go together 2. a shocker." He explained. My eyes widened in horror. "No. Not the shocker. Please." I begged him. "Too bad Jackaboy you better trust ol' Markimoo over there." He giggled at the end of the sentence.

"Ok first question. This one goes to.... Mark." His eyes widened when Malcom finished the sentence. "Umm ok." He seemed unsure. "It'll be fine Mark. You'll do great." I reassured him.

My eyes widened in fear when he said the question was for me to answer. "Umm ok." I replied unsure and cautious of what's about to happen. "It'll be fine Mark. You'll do great." Jack reassured me. I took in a deep breath. "Ok Mark. First question. How old was Jack when he was first taken here?" My mind went completely blank. Come on Mark this is an easy question. My mind screamed at me. I thought back to when we first met. We were both six and he said it had been two years since he was taken here, "Four. He was four when he first came here." I clarified. "That is correct." I heard sarcastic clapping through the mike. "Now Jack it's your turn to answer a question." Jack looked in my eyes for support which I smiled calmly to. "I'm ready what's the question." Jack was more calm than me by far. Or that's what it seemed like. "Your question is. What age did Mark have to drop out of school?" I looked to Jack. It looks like the same thing that happened to me was happening to Jack as well. He took a deep breath and answered. "He told me he was 13. He was happy at first but then he realised he missed his friends and the teachers." I smiled he remembered perfectly. "Oh well those were the easy ones I've got much harder ones for you later on."

The speaker cut off but I could still hear his unsettling laughs echoing. "Mark I'm scared. I don't know what to do." His bright blue eyes sparkled against the water of the tank. "I know be we'll be fine. I trust you and you trust me. We both know so much each other it'll be hard to get one wrong but if it does happen it won't be to bad I promise." I lied I knew it's bad to lie to someone that close but I wanted to make him less nervous for whatever will happen next in this sick game.

I relaxed when he said that. He wouldn't lie to me. Would he? I sunk to the bottom of my tank and let up deep breaths calming my self. I'm still so scared but at least Mark is here he'll help me through this. All the times we've spent together next to each other. I think I've developed feelings for him, but he won't feel the same way I bet.
