Lab 421~on hiatus~

Blind boy

I frowned. Most people Vald wanted me too meet usually weren't the best apples in the barrel.
"Who are they?" I gulped. I think I've been through enough already.  He smiled and peeled off his gloves.
"Juzt some friends" he tilted his head and helped me up. "Voull be fine" I cringed and pulled away from him.
"N-no" I really didn't want to meet his "friends". He smiled a bit, I couldn't tell if it was a smile that was mocking me, or a smile to show sympathy.
"You're scared aren't zou?" I shook my head.
"No! I just hate it here!!! You don't tell me shit and it makes everything so much worse!!!" I clenched my fist and glared at him. He sighed tiredly and rubbed his face.
"I'll tell zou everything later" with that he grabbed my shoulders and dragged me outside.

I hated the halls of this place, they were always cold. And it didn't help that Vlad was dragging me to what could possibly be my death. Oh shit my death. I was wayyyy to young to die, and even if I was to die I wouldn't want it to be in an obscure illegal lab. I heard yelling coming from a room beside me and cringed. Vlad smirked and tightened his grip on me.
"See vhy zou should be zo glad I take good care of zou liebling?" I gulped as someone let out a shriek of agony. The door to the room opened, a tall broad man in a prim white lab coat walked out, followed by a starved, beaten, and dirty figure limping behind him. Vlad smiled and tightened his grip on me. "Hallo Nate! How's Gabrie-" before he could finish the person snarled and lurched foreword at him.
"Don't call me that!!!" I jumped away as the person thrashed around violently. The scientist rolled his eyes and shoved him down to the floor.
"You know you're on thin ice Gabriel" with that he kicked the person in the head. "Gabriel" snarled and got up.
"Only my family gets to call me by my name!" The person was deathly skinny, every inch of his skin was covered in scars, burns, and bruises. He was unnaturally tall, with a head of dingy white hair. He wore a bandage over his eyes, as if he was blocking everyone out. The scientist rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You know I own you, I get to call you whatever I want. So shut up about this "ouija" business. Come on." Vlad laughed and started chatting with the scientist, leaving me walking next to Gabriel or...Ouija I guess.The more I looked at him, the more I noticed dried blood around his eyes.
"Wh-what happened?" I really didn't feel like causing trouble, so I talked quietly and kept my head down. He tilted his head, he seemed more confused by me talking to him than angry.
"What?"
"Why is there blood around your eyes?" I gulped and waited for his response. He shrugged and twitched a bit.
"I was Being "too rebellious" so he took my eyes out"

He said it very casually, like it happened every Tuesday night. I felt my stomach drop and I almost stopped on my tracks. Vlad had to nudge me along for me to start walking again.
"Wh-what?!?" I felt sick to my stomach. He shrugged again and lifted the blindfold. His eyes had tons of scratches around them, and where his eyes should be there were gruesome holes in his face.
"Yeah. And that was my ninth year here." He yawned. I felt even worse, all I wanted to do was go back to Vlad's lab and curl up on the mattress in his office.
"H-how long have you been here?" I said meekly.
"Uhhhhhh since I was two, I'm 22 now." The more he spoke the more my hopes fell. What if there really was no escape? Was I just going to die here? I could feel Vlad gently massage my shoulder, sensing how tense I was. Which really didn't help. I gulped and looked at the ground, trying not to draw more attention to myself. I heard Vlad sighs.
"Vell here ve are!" He smiled and leaned down to my ear "I expect zou to be on zour best behavior" chills flowed through me as he spoke. I gave a tiny nod and curled away from him. He smiled slowly. "Lovely" he opened the door for me and pushed me in.
