Lab 421~on hiatus~

Files and Phone Calls

After about a few hours I was totally lost in my thoughts. I couldn't help but remember my family, sure maybe my relationship with my mom wasn't the best, but I still miss her. I felt a few tears well up in my eyes but blinked them away before Vlad took notice. I wondered if people were looking for me. Was there a nation-wide panic? A world-wide panic? Did I even matter that much? I don't know. My chest started to hurt when I thought of my brother, we were very close, and the idea of not seeing him again almost physically hurt me. I felt Vlad pull a warm blanket over me.
"Liebling? Do zou vant to talk about something?" He sounded softer than usual. I shook my head fast and pulled the blanket around myself. Vlad didn't need to know anymore about me. He sighed and patted my head "Zere is nothing I don't alveady know about zoure past life....It's your family isn't it?" He sounded soft, almost...caring. I leaned against his chair and sniffled
"Y-yeah it is about them...."
"Vell? Talk." He put a hand on my shoulder and sighed. I gulped and tucked some hair behind my ear.
"I-I just miss them... and I don't even know if they're looking for me. Or if they care." I hugged my knees close to my chest and whimpered. "And I miss my cat, and my old room, and my roommates, and...and... everything!" Vlad sighed and leaned back.
"Zou vere a university student correct?" I gave a little nod and sighed sadly. He took out a file and handed it down to me. "It's Zou"

I frowned. I had no idea how this would help or why he was showing it to me. I carefully opened it up and read through it.

The more I read the more nervous I got. They knew a lot about me, where I went to school, my family members, everything down to my favorite coffee! I gulped nervously and went to flip to the next page, but Vlad quickly grabbed it back.
"Zats no more zan your medical history and other information." He smiled softly at me and put the file away. "Ze point is zat there isn't much I don't know. But also I understand zat zou are human." He gently put his arms around me and pulled me into a gentle hug. "You're scared and I know zat. And you mizz zour life" I gulped and chewed on my lip. He hugged me tighter and I sniffled a bit. Vlad has never shown this kind of...compassion before. I buried my face in his shoulder and blinked a few tears away.
"I hate it here!!! It's so f**** dark and cold! And I have no clue why I'm here! I just want to wake up from this nightmare!!!" Vlad sighed sadly and held me.
"I vish I could tell zou something to change zoure mind liebling. I veally vish I could." He said softly as he rubbed my back. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the phone ringing. He rolled his eyes and took the call.
"Hallo! Vlad Kershiev speaki-oh hallo Mark!" He rolled his eyes but kept a happy tone. "Vhat? Zou vant to talk to her?" He glanced over at me and frowned. I had no idea what he was talking about but I did NOT like the sound of it. Vlad hung up and sighed, his whole demeanor went from soft to grim in a single phone call. He turned to me and frowned.
"Go take a shower, Mark vants to talk to zou."

My stomach felt like it had dropped into my feet.
"Wh-what?! Why?!" I stood up and gulped. I didn't want to even think about Mark, much less talk to him! Vlad put on a smile and patted my shoulder.
"I don't know! But go get cleaned up come back here ok?" He lead me out of the room and into the bathroom. It showed that Vlad didn't like him at all, and frankly I didn't either. I showered off and looked at myself in the mirror as I put in new clothes. I was skinny, and pale. My eyes had bags under them you could almost see my ribs. I sighed as I pulled on the new and pristine hospital gown. I looked like a hollow shell of what I used to be, it really was depressing. The gown hung against me loosely, but at least I looked clean. I combed and dried my hair, considering what Vlad had left out, it's obvious he wanted me to look nice. Hell, he even gave me some mascara! I applied a bit to my lashes and took one last look in the mirror before walking back to Vlad's office. As I walked in he looked up at me and smiled.
"Vell! Don't zou look lovely!!!" He stood up and patted my back. I rolled my eyes, having to talk to make really put a damper on my mood. He smiles and straightens his lab coat. "Alvight. Zo before zou go pleasepleasepleasePLEASE be on zoure best behavior alvight? Mark does not tolerate disrespect." He sighed and heard the door open. We turned to see mark standing there looking extra prim and with a nasty smirk on his face.
"Well? Are you ready 532?"

AN.
