I awoke inside of Chris' bed. Him, Ryan and Ricky were in the room. Chris was panicking, pacing back and forth. He had his thumb in his mouth, biting the excess skin. I looked at him. My throat hurt like I was screaming for hours on end. My wrists were tied to the bed as were my legs.

I began to freak out. My wrists being tied down was a trigger. I thrashed around on the bed, screaming, begging to be released.

"Hey, hey," Chris rushed over, and moved my hair out of my eyes. I couldn't sign at the moment.

"I'm sorry, you wouldn't stop abusing yourself in your sleep, Larisa had to do this. It was the only way to get you to stop. I'll get her right now," He ran out leaving me on the bed.

Tears began to cascade down my face. I tried to get out of the restraints, and with each move, they hugged me tighter.

"Please let me go. I don't wanna be here anymore. I didn't kill my family," I yelled at the scientist who goes by the name Victor. He was the one who did experiments trying to use 'truth serum' to get people to confess to murders.

My arms were strapped down as I laid naked and afraid on the cold metal operating table.

"Shut it, you murderous slut," He slapped me causing me to cry out in pain.

"This is a needle full of sodium amytal, and sodium pentothal. It is the known truth serum. I will inject it into your neck and you will be asked a series of questions. We will keep doing this till you answer correctly, or pass out from the drugs," The man smiled from behind his mask.

"Let's give her a hit," The assistant smiled. I never knew her name. But she always wore her black hair back in a ponytail and wore these operation goggles. She had black orbs that sat where her eyes should be. She was another failed experiment. She wore a white operaton coat and black latex gloves.

"Here, make sure she doesn't move," Victor handed the woman a scalpel. This was a threat. If I moved or flinched, she was welcome to cut anywhere she pleased. Tears poured down my eyes as he began to inject my flesh with the chemicals. I flinched causing the black-haired woman to cut down my leg. I screamed in pain as the chemical burned in my neck. It was worse than the pain in my leg. My leg was oozing blood. She smiled, taking a match to my skin. This cauterized the wound, causing the blood to bubble. I screamed in agony. She repeated this multiple times until Victor made her stop.

Seventeen new scars were added to my arms, legs, and stomach.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Eleanora," I cried out.

"And who did you kill?" He smiled.

"No one!!" I screamed.

"Guess that didn't work," He smiled,"you want more?"

"No," I cried.

"Hmm, maybe next time you'll be honest," He filled the needle back up with more chemicals. He inserted them in my neck.

"Hey El. Hun, hey!" Larisa yelled snapping me out of my memories. I flinched.

"Please get them off, please- I can't please," I began to panic again. Tears were pouring down my face causing my eyes to burn. My vision became blurry.

"I need you to stop moving, please. I can't get them off if you don't stop moving," Larisa snapped at me. I forced myself to stop moving.

Larisa grabbed my wrist and unlocked the lock that was keeping the leather cuff around my wrists and legs. As soon as I was free, I raced towards the end of the bed. My arms wrapped around my legs as my head dropped to my knees. I sobbed as my hair fell over my arms.
