Attaining Immortality

Chapter 4

"Where are we going?" I asked the hooded man as we walked down a dark corridor. "And more importantly, what is your name?"

The hooded man turned and looked at me.

"Why would you want to know that?"

"I'm not asking you to show me you face even though I really want to... It's just that I-I don't know what to call you..."

The hooded man pondered over it for a while.

"You may address me as Scotty."

I wanted to laugh, I really did. But I knew the hooded ma- I mean Scotty wouldn't appreciate it.

"Okay Scotty, my name is Dan, Dan Smith."

"Alright, but I did not ask for your name, we are not new students in a classroom... Ah, we are here."

We stopped in front of a huge door. Scotty rapped in a periodic way before the door opened.

I stared in awe at the room in front of me. It was very spacious and our footsteps echoed with each step we took. Strangely enough, there were beds arranged in a circular way as if protecting the big covered object that was in the middle.

"What is this place?" I asked as I stared all around the hospital themed room.

"This is the Anti-Clinic."

I frowned "Again what is this place."

He ignored me and reached for the edges of his hood and slowly took it off.

He had crazy white hair that reminded me of a mad scientist. Sadly, I still could not see his face as he was wearing a black mask underneath and the part meant for his eyes were covered with large goggles.

He dragged the mid part that was on his nose which made the slit larger.

"That's better. Now I can breathe," he said as he continued to walk around the room.

I felt a little annoyed that I did not see his face, but I shrugged it off as I went to explore the room.

"So what exactly is this 'Anti-Clinic," I asked again as I picked up a jar filled with a green like substance.

Even though I could not see his face, his mouth moved to form a smile.

"Danny boy, this is the place where all your dreams shall come through. This is the room where you shall Attain Immortality!"

"So... How exactly does this help me?" I asked Scotty as he strapped me on one of the beds. The 'Fed was there watching and assisting him with strapping.

He didn't reply as he strapped me harder. He then turned and opened a closed cabinet where he brought out some wires.

"Umm, what are you doing?" I asked as he brought the wires closer to me.

"Fed get me the 'supplies' and our 'donor' and turn on the generator, I'm putting the machine on."

"Yes master." the 'Fed said as he ran out of the room.

"Who is this donor and what the hell is this machine?"

He ignored me again as he connected the wires to my immobile body.

I twisted and struggled to remove the straps but my efforts were of no use.

"What the fuck is this Scotty!"

"Stop complaining and let me do my work!" he shouted back.

"Master I have done what you asked me to." the 'Fed' said as he walked into the room with a boy that looked like a teenager.

His mouth was gagged with a rag and his eyes filled with fear as the 'Fed dropped him on another one of the beds.

With a frown, I turned to Scotty. "What is this boy doing here?"

Again he ignored me "Fed, pass me the supplies."

The 'Fed' nodded and produced a leather bag which Scotty took and brought out a syringe which contained a suspicious yellow looking liquid.

"Just calm down Danny boy, this is going to be painless."

I struggled violently as the needle penetrated my skin, it did not take long for the dizziness to kick in.

"Master, it is not working..."

"I can see that you bumbling buffoon! Instead of stating the obvious, why don't you turn off the machine."

"Yes, master!"

I opened my eyes to see Scotty and the 'Fed' talking in front of me.

"It seems his aura does not match. How great, another wasted source." Scotty said as he shook his head. His white hair bouncing with his movements.

"Do I take him back to the Entertainment room?" the 'Fed' asked.

"Does he look good to you! Take him outback. And this time, make sure you do a thorough job."

I could only stare in horror as the 'Fed' nodded and carried the boy's body out of the room.

"Ah, Danny boy, you are awake."
