Scarlet Price

Chapter 2

White lights. The smell of bleach. Where the hell am I? Suddenly it all comes rushing back. Soron smirking. The hand. The bag. The betrayal. I thought that no one knew. I never told anyone. I was so careful. "She is awake. Go get Ren." I hear a voice say. I barley open my eyes. This nightmare is too much for a girl. I bite my lip. I hear foot steps coming toward me. Then a soft voice says. "Well I would of never believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself." "Were is Ren?" says a rougher voice. "He got.... occupied." The first voice replied. I'm pretty sure it's a female. Finally I crack my eyes open. I see a women looking a me through rimmed glasses. And a husky man beside her.

"Welcome home, Scarlet. It's good to see you. I am Ms. Rose. But you may call Doctor Rose." The woman, Rose, says. I look up at her putting as much fear into my eyes as possible. She relaxes and bends toward me smiling. The cuffs hold my hand to the bed table are strong. So I do something else besides strangle her. I spit into her face.

She jerks back. "What is wrong with you! Insulting me like that! You fool!" She consuls herself and speaks deadly calm to me again. "We expect you to behave properly around here. Do not try something that foolish again. Or there will be consequences." As if on que another man walls through the door holding a long electric spear. I cringe against my will. The man smirks probably thinking I am a weak little girl. I don't need people thinking I'm weak. I glare at him putting as much hate as I can in my eyes. He stares right back into my eyes unflinching.

"Well that's quite enough." The Dr. says clapping her hands. "Tell Dr. Masher to being the tests."

I flinch was something impales my arm making my bison blurry. I hear machine beeps but I feel groggy. I can't focus. I have a far off thought I'm on some kind of drug when an alarm blares somewhere distant. I roll my head toward the door and see someone running through it. Everything is muffled. My breathing becomes more labored and I can't focus my eyes. Someone starts undoing the straps the my arms but I can't tell who it is. Then I feel my body being picked up.

"It's okay. We're gonna be fine. " I hear the person say. My mind is to befuddle to say anything else so I jut sort of nod. Then we're running. People are screaming and I think I smell smoke. I hear footsteps echoing down a hall but all I can think about is the strong arms holding me. I close my eyes and try to control my breathing. A few minutes later I feel sunshine on my face and breath the fresh air but we don't stop running.

"We're almost safe. Just stay with me." The voice says. I mutter something like 'okay'. then I black pit of sleep pulls me into its depts.
