Kiki the flame

Black and blood

I woke up on a wood slab. It was pitch black. I tried to move my arms but they were restrained by something. All my limbs ached. My eyes slowly adjusted to the light. Where in the world was I. The space seemed new but I felt like I recognize it. I looked over the room. It looked like some sort off lab, or a surgery room. There were two doors. There was also what looked like dentist tools and surgery tools. Little knives, a small drill, a needle. I couldn't see to clearly since it was so dark. I looked to what was restraining me. I looked in horror at my arms and legs. They were covered in small needles and huge nails pinning me to the board. Blood was trickling down my arms legs and tail. I tried not to scream but it was to terrifying. I shrieked.

I heard footsteps trailing outside the door on the left. I closed my eyes and pretended I was still unconscious. But my ears started to twitch and my nose was sniffing. I listened as the footsteps got closer. At least 7 guys. The door slowly creaked open. The people walked into the room. "I. I swear I heard a scream." A skittish male voice said. He sounded to be in his 30's. "Lower your guns men false alarm". A male voice said, clearly aggravated. "I'm sooo so sorry sir Lunt" Gorge said. "Never mind that, I wonder where the scream came from..." Lunt said. I could hear footsteps moving. "Well you could at least tell me how she's doing... has she told you anything about... her... powers" Lunt said. "N...no sir she is stubborn..." Gorge said sounding nervous. "Go on" said Lunt in a inpatient voice. "W.. well she.... she lost her memory..." Gorge said finally, everyone was silent.

Flashbacks started coming. The pain, the surgery table. I was brought back from death. And by who some torturers!? I started to feel tears swelling up in my eyes. I tried to stop but it was to late a tear rolled down my cheek. I felt Lunt's gaze. "Give me a gun" he said to what I assumed was a guard. "Umm sir why-" the guard was interrupted by Lunt. "Just give me the gun!" He said louder. "Ok ok" the guard said. I heard footsteps coming closer, and closer until Lunt was right in front of me. He put the cold barrel of the gun beside my ear. A loud earsplitting gunshot echoed through the room. "AGHHHHHH" I screamed as my ears exploded with the sound that gunshot had admitted. I opened my eyes.

The room was bright now and I could see all the people. 5 guards with there guns pointed right at me. "She was trying to trick us" Lunt said turning around to face me. He was a youngish man. In his 25's to 30's. He had dark brown hair and a huge burn mark across his face. "You see this fox, you did this to me" he said as he pointed at the burn on his face. I could barley hear him from the blast of the gun. "And now your gonna pay" he said. He grabbed the gun and put it right to my head. I tried to act brave and not scared but I couldn't. I didn't know where I was or what was going on and I was trapped at the other end of his gun. My face remained in an angry expression however. "Stop Lunt," Gorge said. "We still need to do tests on her." "Ugh" Lunt said dropping the gun down to his side. I sighed in relief. "Hear me fox I would kill you if I could but for now" he said and pointed the gun at me "I'll have to settle for marking you with scars instead". He said and shot me in the shoulder.

"AGHHH" I screemed in pain. Blood rushing out of my body. The pain was tremendous. I stared to my left shoulder. A bullet hole was in it and spouting blood. "Come on Lunt let's go" said Gorge. "I think I'll sit and watch you guys leave without me" He said. He stared at me I was screaming and screaming. My head felt hevy and I started to faint. I bit my tongue and stayed awake. I didn't want to leave Lunt alone and be able to do whatever he wanted with my body. He looked at me. "Come on fall asleep I dare you" He said. "No.. way" I say as my head gets heavy. "Oh are you losing to much blood" he said. "Shut up" I say as my eyes start to fall shut. "That's right fall asleep" he said. The room starts to get fuzzy. My vision blurred. "You know what I'd prefer to hear you scream out in pain." He said he grabbed one of the drills from the table. "Come on Lunt I need you to come here you can come back later" someone said. I didn't know or care who it was.

The room started spinning. My weird blue prison uniform soaked with blood. The light turned of as the two walked out of the room. I heard a sizzling and felt like I was falling. I was on the floor. The nails that were in my arms and legs were free. They had melted away and there were little puddles of  melted metal. Was this the "power" they were talking about. I tried to stand up but had to lean on a table. I slowly walked to the door to exit. Locked. I turned to the door that was on the left. I push the door and it opened with ease. Inside there was a turquoisey glow and lost of test tubes and cups. I closed the door behind me as I walked inside. I put my hand on the counter and knocked over a few tubes. The glass shattering as it hit the ground. I slowly walked over to the end of the room when I heard the door creek open. I turned around terrified. "Hey, hey relax I'm a good guy." He said as he entered it was hard to hear. Everything was blurry and all I could see was colour. "Who are-" I said before I collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
