Chapter Five

I sat in the room waiting for Steve to arrive. I didn't sleep at all last night. Not just after what I saw. Both dead. Just wonderful. Anyone of us is next. Well expect for Subject A4 whoever that is. I clenched my fits. Calling us subjects... Dirty bastards. I checked my watch and it was finally seven am. Steve came in and people woke up with a jolt.

He served us breakfast and I didn't even drink the water. My stomach was off. I don't trust what they give us. "Aren't you going to drink your water at least?" Steve asked. I shook my head. I didn't feel like talking either. He looked at me for a long time.

The rest were slow eating today. They finished there food eventually and Steve took one last look at me and left. "You alright Natalie?" Ava asked putting a hand on my shoulder. I looked at her and nodded. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Nothing." I mumbled. They shared looks and nodded at each other and they kept quiet. Janson came in again.

"I'm sorry to say that Kara didn't make it." He said. Everyone gasped but I didn't. I glared at him. "Where's James?" Evan asked. "He's fine don't worry he's just a little sick is all were treating him as best as we can." He said. Lying Scumbag. "Alright Amelia, Sawyer and Jake please come with me." He said. The three of them looked at each other and followed him.

The door closed and they were gone. Faye and Avery sat next to me along with Ava. I closed my eyes and Avery shook my shoulder. "Stay awake." She said. I groaned and looked at her. I sighed.

Steve came in earlier then usual. "I know I'm early, but there wasn't much for breakfast he said. "So for Lunch you'll have a feast he said opening up a steel pot and revealing loads of different foods and drinks. The others gasped. I just stared at him. "Natalie don't give me that look, your going to eat something or you'll die of starvation." He said. "Good." I mumbled. The others stared at me. I shrugged.

Steve sighed. "Please for Sarah." He said. "How do-" "I give her and the others breakfast every morning." He said. I narrowed my eyes. "Find for Sarah." I grumbled and ate the food on the plate. It tasted plain in my mouth but I forced myself to swallow it. I ate the last bit and threw the paper plate at Steve.

He then gave me a drink. "Remember-" "I know I know." I scowled and drank it. It tasted plain and horrible. He took the glass and I lay back on the couch. "See you guys later for dinner." He said. Great now I have to eat more and drink more. I know people would say think of the people wouldn't food but I'd mail it to them if I could.

I put my arms behind my head and crossed my legs. I just miss my home. I wonder if I had any noisy neighbours or nice quiet ones or mean ones. I wondered if I had a boyfriend. I doubt it. Who would date me? I'm now basically a sad nineteen year old who lost her memories. I sighed.

"Steve came in with the Trolley and his eyes widened when he saw me. "You alright?" He asked. "Perfect." I mumbled.

He handed me a cool drink and I gulped it. "Thanks." I said. He nodded. He handed us out our dinner.I ate all my dinner. I was going to need my strength for tomorrow.

I handed Steve my plate and glass and the others finished around eight. Once Steve left the lights went off and the others went off to sleep. I waited until
nine o'clock to climb through the vents.

My watch hit Nine and I scrambled up into the Vent and scrambled to Sarah's room. I went down and she was wide awake waiting for me. "Natalie!" She said. I put a finger to my lips and she nodded. I hugged. She looked paler then usual. "How's it going?" I whispered. "Ok they keep doing tests on me and it hurts." She said pouting. I stroked her Brown dirty hair. "It's alright it'll be all over soon I promise alright." I said. "Okay." She said with a yawn. "I'll let you sleep night Sarah." I said. "Night Nat." She said.

I went through the vent again and scrambled to the other room. Doctors were in there this time. Loads of them. I saw Amelia, Sawyer and Jake. They were like James. Tubes sticking out of them. They were being drained. I learnt something that day. Once you walk out those doors, you never come back.
