The Caverly Effect

Twenty Two. Fawn

I was walking, and every step took all my effort. Still in the city?! I constantly had to remind myself to stay invisible, because it took all my concentration to stay invisible and walk.

Stay. Invisible.

I took three more steps, and collapsed to the ground.

In...visable...

I could just fall asleep, right here.

Yeah... that doesn't sound to bad actually...

I smiled, thinking about sleep,

And without much effort...

I closed my eyes,

And let the darkness take over.

***

I heard a steady beep. Beep. Repeat itself over and over. What the...?

I started to open my eyes, but huridly shut them, due to the blinding white light. I heard the beeps get faster. Where am I?!

Keeping my eyes closed firmly shut, I tried to sit up, only to feel restraints against my wrists, stomach, and ankles holding me back. Attached to each temple, were cords, similar feeling to the ones from the ceremony, but larger. Why am I stuck here?! Is Aero here?!

I started to tear up, despite my efforts. I struggled against the restraints, and cried out in frustration.

I eventually gave up trying to escape, and rested my head on the small cushion right behind my head. I'm in some kind of hard bed... I slowly, more prepared this time, opened my eyes.

Through squinted vision, I saw a small white room, with a large mirror on the wall to the left of me, and a machine hovering over me.

What the... the door in the wall in front of me flew open, and the loud beeps got even faster. In rushed a woman with blonde curls and a man with short black hair. Who are they?!

"Its okay, it's okay," the man tried to reassure me. I noticed they were both wearing identical navy blue, short sleeve shirts, and an even darker blue color of loose pants. They must be some kind of doctor, but why would I be at a hospital?!

"Who are you?" I ask, trying to remain calm. Well, calm-ish.

"I am Dr. Renard." The blonde said.

"And I'm Mr. Caverly, Dr. Renard here, is a doctor, and I am a scientist." Oh goodness, Caverly?! As in, Javen Caverly?! This is the man, who ruined everything. I glared at him, with as much loathsome I could muster. He hurt Aero.

"How are you feeling?" Dr. Renard asked me, in a soft voice.

"I'm fine. Let me go." I demanded, attempting to sound more confident than I was feeling. Caverly almost laughed.

"You would think, that if we were going to let you go, we wouldn't have restrained you to the bed," he leaned in so close, I could smell the mint he had in his mouth. "You are going to do, what we want you to do. If not willingly, then painfully."

Dr. Renard shot him a glare. I don't want to be here- I wish I could jus- I stopped my immediate wish. You can't turn invisible, that's exactly what they want. I heard a scribbling noise, from somewhere on the large machine next to me. They both rushed to look at a small screen. What the... as soon as the scribbling began, is ceased. They both looked at me. Dr. Renard motioned for Caverly to follow her, and they both exited. I felt my shoulders drop, not realizing they had been tensed up.

Not two seconds later, the door opened, and to my great displeasure, they returned.

The tests, began.
