Bloody Blue Lips

Ch 1: Waking Up

The Present:

     Freya briskly opens her eyes. Pupils dilate, her body launches itself upwards! She puts both hands on her chest. Ba-boom! Ba-boom! Ba-boom! She feels her heartbeat. The room is darker than the night. What is that on the ceiling? The only source of light is a glowing blue veined ceiling. 

     Thump! What is that noise? Freya's eyes shoot up at the steel door. Thump!

     Quickly! Freya thinks.

     Rip! The needles inside Freya are pulled out forcefully. Swiftly moving her legs, Freya realizes she has been lying on a cold, sterile metal table. By the door is a wide mirror. She stares straight into her own fearful eyes. Was she being experimented on? Is she still? No time to think. Move!

     Jumping down from the table, Freya almost falls over. Her entire system is weak. Thump!

     "Hello?" Freya speaks dryly. 

     Her hand touches her neck carefully. She hurts all over. Even though she's severely dehydrated she still slowly inches towards the door. She realizes the lock has been broken but she doesn't look back. She pushes it. Creeeeeeaaaak!

     Still weak, Freya leans on the wall. Wait. Glass? Her head turns. She discovers a window into the prison cell she was just in. 

     Double-sided glass. She thinks. On the inside, there was a wide mirror and on the outside, it's a large window. Was she a lab rat? Something to be inspected? Studied? 

     "Freya." Says a voice from the distance. It sounded robotic. Freya's head whips around. There she is. A doctor wearing a blue lab coat. Her smile is repulsive. 

     "Good you are awake." Her words are unfeeling. Who is this woman? Thump! Thump! Thump! She has such a heavy walk. 

     "...water?" Freya's voice was hoarse and soft. She grabs at the women's coat with all the strength she has left. Freya was almost out of energy. She couldn't hold on much longer. 

     "Do not worry. Doctor Lotus will help you." Putting a stiff hand on Freya's shoulder, with a swift flick of her other hand, Freya is injected with a syringe. Thud! She collapses on the floor and Doctor Lotus never stops smiling creepily...
