South Days

Extra Work

A worker comes in the room and sees me and Maria laying against the wall. A scientist in a white coat. A tall guy with dark short hair. What's he here for?

"You. Come."

Pointing at Maria, they really treat her like she's nothing, don't they?

"I... I don't want to today. I want to stay here with him."

He pulls out a syringe. He's going to use it on her! I'm going to stop him! I get up as fast as I could, spreading my arms in front of him.

"LEAVE HER ALONE! If you touch her I'll-"

He grabs my arm and pushes me out of the way. I hit the wall hard. The man grabs Maria, she screams loud. The man stabs her in the arm with the syringe causing her to fall asleep instantly.

"Wait! Don't! Take me instead, please! You can't keep hurting her like this!!"

He looks at me with wide-open eyes. He drops Maria, didn't even try to set her down calmly. He grabs my arm again, I punched him straight in the stomach. I thought that would get him, with both hands he pounds my head knocking me out cold.

I woke up with a splitting headache. My vision was blurry, I couldn't move my body. Even if I could my body couldn't move being tied to a chair.
The door the left of me opened as my vision was clearing.

"This isn't the usual test subject." said a woman in a white lab coat.
"Why is he here? Is he more capable to handle the test?

"Well, he volunteered to do it instead of the girl. From what I heard; he is the son of the workers cleaning up the mess in Alpha Somalia. About the 1020 incident."

"What about the creature-... nevermind. We need to get this test done before the end of the hour. Prepare the tools and supplies. Bring extra medical equipment."

I didn't want to through the pain they made her go through. I couldn't imagine what they make her do. I struggle hard, I tried to scream but my lips were sealed with tape.

I couldn't describe the pain by simply saying it was terrible... I don't know if there is a word that means worst than it. I have been through my own kind of pain, but what they did to me wish I could only go back to having only that pain. I was always afraid of going to the dentist because of my teeth. I was scared to pail white when I was forced to get a shot at the doctors. That beats nothing when it comes to cutting and inserting indescribable pain these scientists did to me. I thought I was experiencing death. I was begging anyone to help me.

I passed out. I woke up in the middle of the playroom.
I could hear the cries of Maria.

"I'm so sorry *sob* I'm so sorry!"

I can not believe this is the pain she goes through... These people have no hearts. To do this to a girl who doesn't even deserve to be here. I can't feel anything.

Eventually,
I woke up, in a puddle of my own blood. I looked at my arms... There were cuts and stitches. My body felt sore and numb. Wait, where is Maria?

Oh thank god, she was laying a few feet away from me. She must have fallen asleep waiting for me to wake up. I feel awful for her.

I noticed there was more blood on the floor, it was dried up... It's definitely not mine. They keep her in here, in this disgusting old room. Bugs and spider webs on the corners of the room, blood on every part of the floor, I don't even want to know what the other color stuff is. There's stuff all over the walls, pictures, and words but they're not spelled right.

A drawing of stick figures, a girl and a taller girl; must be Clarissa. Even next to it says "klaerisa". Another to the side is a family and stars, it must be from that book that got taken from her. The bottom of the family was an angry-looking man taking away something from a girl, of course, it's him. Next to it said, "misster".
