The Mirror | L.T. AU

Chapter 4

Unedited Chapter 4

Sirens. Red lights. Shouts. Bangs. Chaos.

Everything was a mess. Guards yelling orders at eachother, staff members running around, doctors and nurses all around Aurora, injecting strange suspicious fluids into her.

Among these doctors was Zayn, with a disappointed look on his face and Liam behind him, with the same neutral face and the metallic ring around his brown puppy dog eyes, that seemed to shine brighter than ever, making him look more like a robot than a human.

Another man stood next to Liam. He had the same robotic look with green eyes this time and a metallic ring around his iris much darker than that of Liam. He seemed more buff. His hawk like eyes held the fiery look that warned you to not get on his bad side. If it wasn't for the frown, his young face would be more gleeful. He wore the same suit as Liam, holding a rifle

As for Aurora, her legs, arms and even her neck was strapped down on the bed, neither tight enough to suffocate her nor loose enough for her to escape, but just enough to irritate her.

Mr. and Mrs. Wests stood next to her, observing even the slightest change in her body. Their frowned faces, along with Zayn's scowl and Liam's hauntingly robotic eyes gave her a headache. Not to mention the fact that the fabric of her restraints was possibly bruising her.

"How did you manage to break the glass?" Mr. Wests spat. His anger evident. Aurora found it ridiculous that he expected her to answer him with a collar around her neck. So she just shook her head, opening and closing her mouth trying to get words out, but looking like a dying fish.

"Sir, no evidence of any weapons or source of any other suspicious objects have been found. The reason for the explosion has not been identified either, although investigations are still going on. Also, no sign of any injury has been found on Miss Wests' body," the green eyed male suddenly spoke up.

"Well, this piece of information is pretty useless, don't you think, Harry? I demand a confirmed statement about the situation and no more excuses." Mr Wests yelled.

Aurora wanted to scream at this Harry and tell him that her last name was not Wests, but her throat was drier than every desert on the planet. All she could do was frown deeper. She looked at Zayn for help, but he appeared to be in his own dreamland, which might consist of him smacking Aurora across her face.

Mr Wests turned towards her again, with narrowed eyes, he said,

"This is the third time you have caused us trouble, young lady. We will keep a strict watch on you from now on, follow your every move and make sure you don't do any suspicious again, even if we have to break one of our own rules for that. And this better be the last time i find you pulling stunts like these".

"W-What the hell is your problem?", Aurora managed to croak out even if it almost took away her breath. Mr Wests eyes widened. "You can't question me, you brat." He spat.

That was the last straw. She was sick of being treated like an animal. Being strapped, confined, not giving her enough information. Aurora started thrashing around so hard, the fabric on her left arm snapped, letting it free as she tried to claw the man who just insulted her, scaring Mrs Wests that she stumbled back and fell down.

She doesn't know what took over her mind, she wasn't able to control her actions. She just knew she had to get out of the trap. Zayn tried to calm her down by sedating her, while Liam held her down. Other doctors helped too, finally taming her. And the last thing she saw before she blacked out was Mr Wests placing the chip inside his laser watch.

-----------------------

"What happened?" "Is she alright?" "I think she became nauseous." "Maybe she didn't have her breakfast." "Guess her anxiety kicked in." "Shhhhh, let her rest."

Hushed whispers and beeping sounds. Her eyes were glued shut. There was not a single bone in her body that could not feel the pain. It was radiating all throughout. Like someone was trying to break all her bones and muscles one by one. But she couldn't move. Couldn't even scream.

She wasn't in control of her body. It was like she was hanging. Between two worlds. She couldn't think straight. Its like she kept blacking out every two seconds, only to jolt back up.

Even though the rest of her senses weren't working, she could listen very well. A speaker was playing in the distance. There were people in the room whispering and she could feel the tension. She wanted to open her eyes but couldn't.

"Well known scientist, Eren Dalman, has made a comeback after his mysterious time away from the world's eye. He has not only surprised everyone with his reappearance, but also with a new project that could completely change the world. He made his surprise revisit yesterday at Hinus Science Centre , where scientific meetings are held every year and Dr. Dalman proved everyone that he wouldn't miss for the world. His speech has given everyone hope and he also throws light upon the reason of his disappearance. Here is his speech from yesterday."

A robotic voice boomed from the speaker. It was a female, probably a reporter. The voices in the room hushed and it became ghost-silent.

She heard a man. His bold sophisticated voice travelling the room from the speaker. This man was Eren Dalman, and something about his voice triggered her just like his name.

"Good evening everyone. I apologise for being away all this while but it was for an important reason. I understand the world requires my presence at this critical time, but there are certain things that I had to do research on and there are things that I need to discuss. This is not a matter of panic but of precaution."

"According to the researches done by our institute, mysterious death cases have come to our knowledge. These are happening at the Poles and are predicted to have been caused by the Ozone depletion.

I request people to stay cautious and to get themselves checked with their nearest doctor incase of suspicious occurrences around them."

"The reason why I was away was that I might have found a way to look into our future. I am still working my way around it but I can assure you that it will be a success. But the main reason why I was away for all this while is because of my daughter. Her name is...

Aurora

Aurora, wake up please I need you to wake up right now, please..."

She woke up with a jolt. It was the nurse, Niall. He looked horrible and crazy.

And his mouth was covered in blood.
