Unwanted Path

Chapter 18

Its hard

Danny could see Zareth gritting his teeth from the pain he felt when Dr. Spencer grabbed him, her nails digging in and scratching him. She tried so hard to break the chains. Drops of blood fell to her cheeks and shoulders. The shackles were cutting off her circulation, and tearing into her skin. Or even if thats what if should be called now. She was a robot. Dr. Spencer walked around toward the tray and picked something up and walked back over to Zareth. She flashed it into his eyes and shook her head.

"Oh those are definitely Zanes. Glowing blue optics with a human brain...how strange." She talked to herself and looked up at an assistant with deep purple hair. Not the pretty almost pink purple, this was dark and almost seemed to sparkle. Her eyes were a violet. She had on a Kimono with a white top that seemed to bleed into the same dark purple at the bottom as her hair.

"Midnight can you hand me the knife from the drawers."

"Of course mother." Her voice swam in suaveness. An almost enjoyable quiet that would lul any baby to sleep. It caused Danny to stare at her. Midnight walked by her and she smiled at her kindly before going back toward her mother. She handed her the knife before going back to her spot. She stood about three feet from her mother.

"Wait...what are you going to do with that!" Zareth asked and gasped as she cut into his leg. Zareth pulled at the restraints and shook his head trying to get away from her.

"Keep shaking like that and I'll cut something important." Spencer said feeling around under his skin and poured water onto the cap and sighed.

"Dareths legs...and the skin..."She ran her fingers at the part between human skin and nindroid. "Seems to be attached quite nicely too."

She looked up at Midnight again. "Lets see about his hand." She said and put the scouple down into a tray and took his hand. Once again Zareth struggled and pulled at the restraints.

"Nu uh...not this time. You're not getting that." Zareth was easily stronger then Dr. Spencer. Spencer however hand better plans. She looked up at Danny and then back down at Zareth.

"Pretty isn't she? She took on my old job, even had my old memories put into her." Zareth looked at Danny. He could see the blood running down her arms. He closed his eyes.

"Stop it." He told her. She smiled and shook her head.

"Ive put to much into this to care what I'm doing." She told him and pointed her thumb over her shoulder at Danny. "Weather she lives or dies depends on your actions." She told him.

"Stop it!" Danny yelled as Zareth opened his palm for Dr. Spencer to do whatever it is she was going to do. She smiled and looked up at Danny.

"Oh what an obedient pup." She said. She took another knife and cut a line down his palm. She felt around inside and looked around inside it. Zareth bit his bottom lip trying very hard not to yell. But he could feel every bit of what Spencer was doing to him. He opened his eyes a crack and looked up at Danny who he could hear over the fuz of his mind at that moment. She was screaming for her creator to stop hurting Zareth. Tears streaming down her face. She was hurt, but those tears were for him. His heart clamped for a few moments and he looked at his hand. It was a bloody mess as her fingers felt around inside. She finally pulled her fingers out and swung her hand around to put them inside the water to wash them off before picking up the pen again. She scribbled a few things down before turning back to Zareth. She grabbed something from her table before walking back over to him and turned his head, she wasn't very easy with his hair either. Just kept pulling it to one side. She looked inside his ear and gasped.
