Ellie POV

"Get your hands off me!" I scream as I'm thrown onto the surgery table. I'm bare to the world, no clothes, no nothing. A guard holds onto the back of my long hair, keeping my head forward.

"Ellie, calm down. This will go by so much faster if you calm down," Clara says as she moves around instruments. The doctor is in the corner reading a book, I can't tell which one.

"Calm down?! I've been in a cell for three weeks and I haven't seen Joel or Finn! Where are they?!" I yell to her.

"Ellie, relax-"

"I can't fucking relax, Clara! I need to know if they're alive!" I scream out, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"You tried to escape, take the future with you, and you killed one of our guards," She says, filling a syringe with some medicine. The doctor comes over, he looks scared. I continue to try to escape from the hands of the guards holding me down, but they restrain me to the table. They continue to hold me down, I can't just give up. Clara then injects me with the medicine, my whole body goes numb and my muscles start to relax, but the baby starts kicking wildly. I haven't felt it move for days.

"What are you gonna do?" I ask slowly, my muscles in my face slowing down. The slight kicking continues.

"Well, it's a fairly simple procedure but neither me or the doctor have done it before. So, I read the procedure all night last night and he's just going over it a couple more times right now. We can't injure the future here-"

"What is it?" I ask sternly, pushing out the words.

"We will be harvesting your eggs. Your eggs are immune to the virus and can sustain life. We've run all the tests we needed to. The trick is that the sperm that the egg will connect with will also be immune, giving it a 50/50 chance. Luckily, your baby inside you right now is immune. We ran the bloodwork last time you were here. But, once we have your eggs and your current fetus, we won't need you anymore," Clara says, walking to the other side of the room, grabbing something. I try to move my head but they have also restrained that so I can't move.

I try to form words, but all I get out is a moan. The guards chuckle and walk out of the room. The doctor comes over to me, he seems sad.

"Hello, Ellie. We're going to put you under general anesthesia and then retrieve your eggs through two little openings here," He touches one part of my side, "and here," touching the same side but slightly lower. "The baby is currently blocking one of your ovaries so we will only be taking out the one ovary, the other one will stay put until you give birth," He says.

I try to talk again, but nothing comes out. I sigh out in frustration.

"We've given a mild sedative right now, but we will soon put you under once I run a couple of tests to make sure the baby can stand the procedure," He says. He drapes me with some covers, leaving a hole open for where he will do the procedure. "Are you in any pain?"

I try to say yes, but can't.

"Blink once for no, twice for yes," He says. I blink twice. "Can you feel it right now? The pain?" I blink once. "So before?" Twice again. "Okay," He responds, writing stuff down. Clara walks back over.

"So, you asked if Joel and Finn were okay? All I'm going to say is that they're alive and can still walk," She says, chuckling to herself. "Oh, and you'll probably never recognize Finn. We're releasing him tomorrow, well...technically not releasing. He'll work in the lab, but his feet will constantly be chained to something. His hands chained together but far enough that he can still work. Basically, a working prisoner," She says.
