Terror walked through the empty halls of the hospital, but it didn't seem like the one he went to see Will in.
Where was he?
A man in a white coat, brown hair, and glasses came out of a room.
"Leon," he said. "There you are. You can't just walk around here! You could get lost."
Terror looked at himself he was way younger then he had been, he looked to be ten.
Leon walked to the man. "Sorry..." he said, unable to refuse.
The man kneeled and put his hands on Leon's shoulders. He looked him over. "At least your not hurt."
He stood and held Leon's hand. "Come on."
A wave of fear went over Leon's body. "No...please don't...not again."
"Im sorry but we have to," said the man.
Tears went down Leon's face. "Please! Don't!"
The man dragged Leon into an MRI room.
Leon screamed and banged on the man's hand. "No! No! No! Please!!"
The man took a syringe with a yellow fluid in it, and put Leon down on a chair.
Leon stood and ran, only to be grabbed by the man again.
The man stabbed the syringe into Leon's arm and pushed the fluid in.
Suddenly Leon's body felt light, as if he were filled with helium. He wobbled in the hold of the man. The room span all kinds of ways.
"No..." Leon said, weakly. "No..."
He fell into the man's arms. The man picked him up and laid him down on the MRI table. He strapped Leon down so he couldn't move at all.
He went back to the controls, and made the table go into the tube.
"No...more...please," said Leon, his head wasn't able to move at all.
He cried and shouted weakly.
After a few hours the table came out of the tube.
The man walked to him. He removed the head restraints, and rubbed a tear from Leon's cheek.
"Now to the next test," said the man. "Get him out of that thing."
Four other "doctors" removed the restrains, and a woman picked him up.
She followed the man to another room with a glass window showing a white room with nothing in it. The room was no bigger than a closet.
The man opened the door and the woman walked in and laid Leon on the floor.
She walked out.
"We'll be back in a few hours," said the man.
Leon sat up, dizzily.
The man closed the door.
Leon looked at where the window was, but he only saw a wall.
He stayed there for weeks.
He rocked back and forth, thinking everyone had abandoned him. Tears streamed down his face, as he stared at the wall ahead.
He looked at the door. He stood and walked to it.
He banged on the door. "Let me out!! Please remember me!!! Let me out! Im sorry!!"
He cried harder. "Let me out..."
His head rested on the door. "Please..."
He banged on the door again. "Let me out!! Please!!!!"
The door's lock clicked. The door opened, and the man stood there.
Leon hugged him and cried hard. "Im sorry dad...I'm sorry for whatever I did..."
Dad put his hands around him. "Its okay."
Leon held onto Dad's coat.
Dad kneeled and kissed Leon's forehead. "I'm proud of what you did to your sister, Mom, and brother," he said. "But since you couldn't kill me this is your punishment. The humans will test on you non stop untill your exposed as a monster."

Terror woke up with a gasp. He looked around.
He was sitting in the chair next to Will's bed still. He calmed himself and let himself relax.
"Fucking flash backs," he muttered, rubbing his face.
Will opened his eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah im fine," said Terror, holding Will's hand. "Go back to sleep."
Will shook his head. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," said Terror. "Im... Fine."
"Don't lie please," said Will. "What's wrong?"
"It was just a nightmare," said Terror.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Will.
Terror sighed. "Sure..."
"When I was ten my family, they had abandoned me, when I finally found them I my father, hated me and thought I was a disappointment all my life. As punishment he told the human scientists and doctors that I was different...that I was special. He had the doctors run tests on me like a lab rat. They tortured me, and put so many drugs into me, to where I couldn't see at all," Terror rubbed the back of his neck.
Will squeezed Terror's hand. "Its okay."
Terror hugged Will tightly.
Will hugged back the best he could.
Terror kissed Will. "Thanks for listening."
Will kissed back. "Anytime Terror, I love you."
"I love you too," said Terror.
