Prized possession.

Part 12

Lyra awoke in a medical room, hooked up to wires and machines.
She didn't know how long she had been out or what she was doing in here but she knew she wanted to be with Orion, she missed him dearly.

"Oh good morning!" A medic bounced into the room.

"Where Am I?" Lyra muttered.

"Just in the medical unit." He explained as he checked her over.

"I wanna go, I want to be with the rest of Unit F"

"I can't let you go sorry, you have your Own personal room there's no need for you to leave."

"Please" Lyra begged.

"I'm sorry" he said, writing on his clipboard.

"Can I at least have a visitor, to see my friends"

"I'm not allowed Lyra"

"Please! I'm going mad" she pleaded.

"I'll bring you breakfast later" he frowned and walked out.

Lyra began to sob, all the hope she had ever had was gone, she felt like giving up.
That's when she heard a creek, making her jump in fright.
The door had been unlocked by accident, not locked when the medic had left.

Lyra quickly threw off the blankets and pulled away the wires she was connected too.
She threw on some clothes and ran for the door, she ran like she had never ran before.

Down a corridor, there was no windows and hardly any light but she kept running, unaware of where she was going.
As she had been running 5 minutes she stopped to catch her breath, that's when she heard talking, muffled talking.

It must of been Unit F, she smiled and began running again but the corridor was never ending.
No corners or turns just one straight tunnel.
She didn't know what to do or where to go she just knew if she went back she might get caught.
She began to walk, allowing herself to catch some breath.
She walked for ages, ages and ages, the scenery never changing.

The talking was still hearable through the metal wall, mocking Lyra on the other side.
Lyra had an idea but didn't know if it was too risky, she slipped into a changing room for the medics. All the lights were off and there was no one in sight. She grabbed some uniform and slipped into it, hiding her clothes under the bench.

She walked back out keeping her head hidden under a hat. She started to hear footsteps in the distance, her heart starting racing a mile a minuet.

A female medic walked beside Lyra, totally unaware of her undercover mission.

"Excuse me." Lyra said in a deep tone of voice to the woman.

"Yes?" She turned around.

"I'm looking for the canteen, I'm new" Lyra lied.

"Your on the wrong level. If you walk for about 5 more minutes there is a lift, it will take you down."

"Thanks" Lyra continued to walk.

"Wait!" The woman shouted.

Lyras heart stopped. "Yes"

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Um.." Lyra stuttered anxiously.
"Smith"

"Nice to meet you, Smith" she smiled.

Lyra continued to walk, sighing in relief.

She made her way to the lift. The doors opened revealing the canteen, packed with procreators.

"Jackpot" lyras eyes lit up, now all she had to do was find Orion.

She walked through the mess hall scanning each procreator and there she saw him. Sat with a young boy at one of the tables, chatting away.

She slowly approached him, trying not to burst with joy.
She tapped his shoulder, he turned around and gasped.

"Lyra?" He whispered.

She nodded and grabbed his arm, dragging him into the empty corridor.

"Your okay!" Lyra shouted, wrapping her arms around him.

"I'm fine, are you?" He asked.

She nodded. Gazing into his eyes, she had desperately missed him.

"We need to get out of here" Lyra whispered.

"Security is tight, we will never get out of here"

"We need too. They have made me my own room and lock me in there 24/7. They inseminated me, I think I'm pregnant" she frowned.

"What?" He gasped.

Lyra nodded before burying her head into his shoulder.

"Do you know whose baby?"

"Some guy, I can't remember his name." She sobbed.

"I'm gonna help you, come stay in my pod."

She nodded as he led her to the pod, sitting her on the bed.

"I'll be right back, if anyone comes hide" he smiled.

He ran out into the mess hall, over to Dexter.

"You Okay?" Dex asked.

"Yes, that's my friend. She's being held captive and she's hiding in our pod." He explained.

"What?" Dex gasped.

"I'm sorry but I have to help her." Orion shrugged before running back to his pod.
