Experiment From Hell

Early Morning Nightmare

The single, dim light that illuminated the walls was blinding, as Annie Briscotti opened her teary-eyes, taking in a sharp inhale of breath, her voice hitching. She quickly scanned her area with fearful eyes; She recognized this place. And that made her breathing quicken; She was in some sort of incubation chamber for humans. She could feel the familiar heaviness of her limbs, yet she still tried to move. She tried to break free.

"That won't work, my dear." An all too familiar voice rang through the air, but it was somewhat muffled. "P-P-Professor? What-What am I do-doing here? W-What are y-y-you doing he-here?" Annie's petite voice was shaky, as she tried (yet failed) to stop her crying. Even in the dim light, Annie's clouded hazel eyes could make out the figure standing in front of her: Professor Lanndinn was a tall man for his age and he looked younger than he actually was. He was her science club's supervisor/president. Annie and him seemed to form a bond over the course of the club's progression. He was always nice to everyone, but the grin he wore on his face could make a grown man tremble.

"My my my, Annie. You always did ask so many questions," The Professor put his hand out, and Annie flinched, pulling back, expecting to feel a cold hand against her steaming, tear-stained face. But, instead, the Professor's hand touched something else: a glass covering. Annie's chest heaved and huffed, realizing that she was trapped, closed in, like an animal. Tears once again flowed from her eyes and down her cheeks, as she tried to wriggle out of her confinements, but alas, it was useless.

The Professor's grin got wider, and he laughed, evilly, "Try all you want Annie, but you're never making it out of here," A pause, as if he was thinking, "Well, at least, not for a while." Annie's eyes shut tight, as she whipped her head away from the disgusting man, the same man whom she thought she could trust herself with, "What are you going to do with m-me?"

The Professor said nothing. He simply turned on his heel, as the small squeak of his shoes faded away, stopping suddenly. Annie opened her eyes at the sound of a small click.

Light suddenly filled the seemingly small area, which was not so small after all. From what Annie could see, she was located in a big, white storage unit, while she was inside a smaller, almost test-tube like chamber. All around she could see technology that one would find in only the most advanced science labs. Her eyes followed a few long tubes, most of which led to her prison.

The professor sighed contently, "Isn't it beautiful? All my hard work, almost paid off! Now I can show those imbeciles who the REAL scientist is!" Annie's eyes went wide, realizing his true intentions, "You.. W-what?" Professor Lanndinn turned his attention to her, "I always wanted to be a real scientist. But I never had a.. test subject before." A sinister grin spread across his face as he saw the fear in Annie's eyes, tears forming on her waterline. She connected the dots, she FINALLY understood what he meant:

'New Subjects Needed -- Join the Science Club Today!'

"Tell me, Annie, when you read that sign, what did you think I meant by 'subjects'? New material for school, new clubs, or some other shit like that?" He started walking towards her. Annie barely paid attention, she had sank to her knees, her mind and body numb to everything around her as she tried to recall what she had done wrong.

"Because, you know, that's what your friends thought too. I didn't think of any of you as prey from the start, but then you.. Annie, my dear, you showed this.. fiery potential. You yearned to know everything about chemical reactions, how differently things acted with each other, and.. Well, science, in general. And you would do it at whatever the cost might be. Even if that cost.." He stopped in front of the glass, kneeling down, "Was your own life."

The Professor stood up, looking down at the shattering young woman, "You asked me what I wanted. You see, the human body is very complex, as you may know. It will react to different things in many ways. You can take ten people and expose them all to the same thing, and their body will react differently." The Professor walked over to a console that connected to a gigantic screen. He pressed a single button, and the screen lit up, showing live feed of Annie and her genetic profile, "But when you're faced with someone as special as you.. It was physically painful for me to keep myself at bay during school hours when I felt urges to just.. Nab you!" He smoothed back his chestnut brown hair, sighing, "But, now that you're here.." A gleeful squeal escaped his lips, as if he were a kid in a candy store, "All of my dreams are going to come true!" He had a small smile on his lips, but it faltered as he pursed his lips instead, "But I suppose, if I want the full effect, I would need to lift your restraints."

Annie's head perked up for the first time, the heaviness of her pinned limbs lifting. She quickly raised to her feet, running up to the glass and fearfully pounding it, trying to do so much as to make even a hairline fracture in it's surface. The Professor sighed, "Do you think I'm dumb? That's shatter-proof glass, Annie. You're not getting out of there until I say so." Annie slid down the glass, her back leaning against the glass covering, her black tank top soaked in tears. She huddled her knees to her chest, and buried her head in her knees. She started visibly shaking, the water works flowing once again, as everything around her suddenly faded to black.

Author's Note:

Small rundown of what made me write this:

1. I've always loved Powerpuff Girls, from the time I was little to now. Decided to make my contribution lmao.

2. There's little to no stories/fanfiction about Sedusa, my favorite villain. She was always my favorite because the first PPG episode I watched was 'Mommy Fearest', which Sedusa is first introduced, so she has her own little place in my heart.

3. When the anime came out, and they showed the lore of Sedusa, I was honestly really disappointed. Spoilers, sorry, but when the girl (Annie) put on lipstick, Sedusa comes out. Like ??? I know it's supposed to be family-friendly, but I mean ??? So I thought, 'Hell no, I'm gonna make my own interpretation on how Sedusa was made." And so this is the final product.

4. HIM is also really special to me and I've also kind of maybe ship them just a little bit (okay, they're my PPG OTP dON'T COME FOR ME PLEASE-) and I felt like "Aye, He could really comfort her during this thing." and yeah. So here it is XD

Next chapter will have a lot more, don't fret. But in the meantime, thanks for reading guys! <3
