I felt the bed move, I didn't see anything but I heard her open a door and then close it behind us, where was she taking me? And did she say I'd feel pain? What pain? And who was she?
"Is this the subject?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say, it was a man.
"Yes. Her blood is lacking a lot of vitamin D and it seems as though she's hungry but our mandatory tests show she ate not long before coming here." The 'nurse' replied, obviously I was a 'subject' now.
"I'll take it from here." Said the man.
"Who are you?" I asked. But didn't get an answer.
The bed started moving again and I felt going into an elevator and being sent down. Was I underground in a basement? Or had I been high up and was not on ground level? Or was I still high up? I didn't know. We entered another room and I could see bright light through the thick blindfold. Then I heard metal, what was going on? The straps that held me in place tightened.
Nothing happened for a while, just clanks of small metal objects, I felt a little scared.
Then came the pain.
In my right arm, it felt cold. At first I thought it was some sort of needle, but then it slides up my arm and I realized they were cutting me with a surgical knife. Why? Was this one of the tests? I tried to scream but I couldn't, the Pain was too great. I just laid there, completely still. Not a sound came out of my mouth, was I dying? Is his what dying feels like?
Then I felt a weird tingle in my arm where they had sliced it up. It was like a small electric string moving through my body.
"Remarkable." A voice said somewhere around me.
I did my very best to say something, anything.
"Wh- wha-" I begun, what was remarkable? What did they mean?
"It's just as we thought, her DNA is capable of replenishing itself faster than normal, what is this?" Yet another voice said.
I heard an electric sound and then something stared sawing into my leg right above my ankle. I had had enough, I needed to get out of here. The 'nurse' said I could never break the restraints but how could I be sure if I didn't try?
I took a deep breath.
And then with all my strength I tried to rip through.
"She's trying to break free" I heard a man say. It was the same man that had took me in here.
Then I heard a young woman reply "Sir, there's no way she could escape. The fabric has aluminum vires woven into it and the buckles are made of stee-"
My right hand ripped free.
There was a scream of surprise.
I immediately ripped off my blindfold.
I was in a room bathed in light, there was a big light above me and at first I was blinded. When my eyes adjusted I looked around and saw men and women dressed in clothes that resembled those of surgeons but they weren't quite the same. After all, this was a research facility, not a hospital. The people around me looked stunned, one had backed away.
It was like time stood still, nobody moved or spoke a word.
They looked stunned, and I made use of that. I ripped my other arm free and then used my hands to get my feet loose. I sprung up but fell right back down, I was tired and hungry. I needed to eat. Immediately.
The "doctors" still just stood there, I lunged at the one nearest to me and bit him, my teeth went through his flesh like a knife goes through warm butter, his blood flowed out and some got in my mouth, it tasted good.
Killing this man was different from Dr. Carter, this time I was hungry, and I drank his blood. Suddenly I felt energized, that's when I knew what had happened to me, I knew what I was.
I killed every single person in the room and then dashed out through the door, which was open.
I needed to get away.
