Ch. 2

Jack's POV
I woke up inside the tank, the water was still green. I was alone in the room. It was dark, the lights were out.

It took me a moment to process everything that happened yesterday. I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the door open.

Mark came inside the room and closed the door behind him while turning the lights on. This room was pretty large to be honest.

He held his notes in one hand and a pen in the other. "So Jack, I am going to ask you a few questions okay?" Mark said, I nodded. "Good, okay first, do you have a specific gender? You look male to me." He said, "Yeah I'm male." I told him as he wrote something on his paper, most likely what I said.

"Okay, do you only speak English or other languages?." Mark asked.

"Well I came all the fookin' way from Ireland so what do you think lad?" I say sarcastically, trying to sound Irish. Mark chuckled and wrote some more notes.

"You've been collaborating quite nicely Jack, now I need to take a blood sample, it will only hurt a second." Mark said as he came up and opened the lid to the tank, with a needle in his hand!

I swam all the way to the bottom to avoid the needle. Merpeople hate sharp things that could stab, like a knife.

Mark seemed annoyed, "Jack, please? I don't want to force you to let me take some blood, it's not that much." He said soothingly, trying to calm me down.

I gave in and swam up to him. I let him take some blood from my arm as I looked away. I hate this so much.

Mark smiled and said "Thanks Jack, that wasn't too bad was it?" "I still didn't like it." I replied with a little sass. Mark just rolled his eyes and put the lid back on. Writing some notes.

He went to his computer and started typing in words that I do not understand. Merpeople write differently than humans in another language. We also speak our own language but humans do not know that, and I'd wanna keep it that way.

We learned to speak English to understand humans, yet there are very few of our species of merpeople left.

Mark got up and put the blood sample inside his pocket. He went over to me and took out his notes and pencil, great more questions.

Time Skip

"Okay Jack, you've been doing great so far! Just a few more to go." Mark said. "More?! UGH" I groaned. "Just ask the question already" I said wanting it to be over. Why does he need so much information about me anyways?

"What do you consider your self?" Mark asked me, readying his notes. I paused for a second before saying "Bossatronio from the planet Bossatron!"

(Get it? No? Never heard it? Okey bye)

Mark chuckled as he wrote some stuff down. "Okay this should be the last one, what's your favorite food-" "COOKIES, CAKE, ICE-CREAM!!!" I yelled cutting him off, what can I say? I love sweets!

Mark wrote that on his notes and went up to the top of the tank with a table but with wheels and the table has straps to strap you down.

"Jack I need to scan you and then I will be done for today" Mark said as he opened the lid of my tank. I swam up and flopped on the table so I could get this over with.

Mark laid me down and strapped me to the table as he went and put me in front of a machine that was huge! He stuck a needle in me and injected something, before I could react Mark went behind the machine and started up as he controlled from behind it.

Before I knew it, I was out like a light. Yet I woke up and everything was bright. My body hurt a bit, I looked up to see Mark taking me back to my tank.

"Ah you woke, just as I suspected. The scanning is done but you might feel sore, we have to scan merpeople differently than humans" Mark told me. Well I do feel sore but I could shrug it off.

He put me inside the tank and closed the lid. I didn't swim around because my tail was sore and it would hurt more.

"Tomorrow we are gunna do more testing, you should sleep. The machine made you waste energy making you more tired, rest." Mark said to me turning the light off. He left closing the door, and I'm all alone. Again.

This time I couldn't sleep. I don't know why. My body is tired but my mind isn't. I wondered how my family is doing. 'Maybe ma is better, I hope so' I thought.

Malcolm's POV (Jacks Brother)
"Where is Jack?" I asked Allison, she is my sister along side Jack's. "I looked everywhere, but I can't find him!" She explained. "Fine I will go look for him, take care of ma while I'm gone" I said while leaving the tiny cabin

NOTE: Malcolm and Allison is actually Jack's siblings, not just in this story. They aren't mentioned much though. Also yes there is a cabin in the sea don't ask why

Jack's POV:
It's been around 20 minutes until I was finally tired enough to sleep. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, my last thought was
'just keep smiling, tomorrow is a better day' then fell asleep.
