Shadow sat in her cell curled up as she attempted to become one with the wall. She had just gone into a test with two other D class personnel and where she witnessed their insides outside of them. 


Shadow was still very young, she was framed for her crime, but of course, no one believed her. Her fragile mind was shattered as she watched those men have their organs squeezed from there bodies, she was the only one who lived.


She jumped and yelped when she heard the door open. Two armed guards entered the room and pulled her from the corner. She was crying and hyperventilating as they put her in chains, she had just come back from evaluations moments ago, why were they throwing her into another one. 


Shadow couldn't bring herself to walk so the men just dragged her to the location. They went in an elevator and down some tunnels before they finally stopped. A doctor stood there with a few others, it was evident they felt bad for the young girl.


"Alright D-9825 all you need to do is listen to him and do what he says. You're free to resist him but we advise you not to."


Shadows sobbed harder.


"Please...no..."


Some of the doctors turned away as they struggled with the sight. They opened the door and shoved her in after removing the shackles. Shadow looked around nervously, trying to figure out what was about to happen to her. 


The room looked like a doctors office, a twin sized bed rest against the wall, two surgery tables, counters full of medical supplies, and spotlights in strategic areas. At one end of the room, a dark figure was sitting in a chair. The room smelled of blood and disinfectant.


The man stood and Shadow could see he was wearing a cloak. She shifted nervously as the man began to advance towards her. As he grew close Shadow could see he had on a traditional plague doctor mask and coat. Shadow was whimpering and shrinking back, tears falling hard as he was only a few feet from her now.


"Hello there child, what are you doing in my room?"


His voice was soft and wispy, a deep echo seeming to follow. Shadow tried to calm her breathing to respond to the man.


"I-I don't know, they just put me in here."


She voice was small and shaky, hiccuping a bit from her tears.
