Ch. 5 We're

I let go of the glass and it broke into more shards. He turned me around to face him. "Calm down. It's alright." He said. I started to calm down. I was about to fully relax until I was met with darkness. "Sorry, you'll be ok when you wake up."

~~~~~

I sprang upright. I felt horrible, there was this tingling sensation in my stomach. I was going to throw up, again. I closed my eyes, sighing in defeat. I didn't want to move but I ran to the bathroom. Hunching over the toilet, I released my problems. I felt so nauseous, I couldn't stop. After what seemed like hours, I felt better.

I walked back to my bunk, taking notice of my surroundings. The lights were off, only the moon shone in through the slightly opened windows. I looked at my clock. It was four-thirty in the morning. I sighed. What had happened earlier? Why am I here all of a sudden? Then, it hit me. Everyone had been hypnotized. This was all a plan.

We were being taken from mental hospitals and insane asylums just to be brought here. Since we already had a desire to 'go to the other side', we would easily be manipulated. I had an urge to forget but I couldn't, I wouldn't. I looked around, seeing as everyone was asleep. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I left the room and decided to take an early morning stroll.

As I walked around the camp, I saw several lights on in Her Majesty's office. I walked across the lawn, hoping to see what she was doing. I approached her window, making sure that I could see her and not vice-versa. I saw her sitting at her desk, talking to Ray. "What are we to do about Venus and them?" Ray asked, disregarding my friends. "We continue watching, for now. When her friends catch on to our schemes, we execute them." Her Majesty said. "As for Venus?"

"She'll be the executioner but there are still more plans for her. Maybe if I can pull her into a deeper sleep, she can become my second assistant. I want her power to myself." She said. I gasped, taking a step back but falling backward with a loud 'thump!' "Did you hear that?" Ray asked. Her Majesty just nodded, as she and Ray approached the door, cautiously. I backed away, then turned and ran to my cabin. I wasn't sure if they saw me but I had to get out of there.

When I got back to my cabin, it was five o'clock in the morning. I couldn't believe they would manipulate us like this. I, oh so badly, wanted to scream in frustration but I didn't. I pulled on my blue uniform and went to the large table in our cabin. I sat there for a while until fatigue consumed me.

~~~~~

"Venus." A voice called out to my sleeping state. I groaned, slightly shifting over. "Venus!" The voice called again, shaking my shoulders. I opened my eyes. Lucy stood there, her purple hair looked like it just got curled. "Hey, we're gonna be late for the morning assembly." She said to me.

I felt my body get lifted. I was now on Lucy's back. Fatigue still attached itself to me, I could barely move. She carried me to the assembly room. The snowy white walls were decorated with hot pink banners, matching my hair and Her Majesty's uniform.

This isn't what usually happens, we only get motivated to work hard. We don't celebrate our victories. We all stood in our lines, females on the left of their color and males on the right. "Welcome, my children. Today, our Malfunctions have joined us. I know, this isn't usual but we are going to have a nice chat." Her words were laced with venom and her giggles were toxic, only I could detect this.

Somehow, no one else knew that she had bad intentions. It was like she was on a constant bloodlust that no one could sense. "A few of us have become corrupted like these children on misfortune." She gestured to the malfunctions wearing red. A girl in dark red started to cry out as the other people in red comforted her.

The rest of us could only listen and watch in sympathy, knowing there was nothing that we could do. "Hush!" Her Majesty shouted at the red section of the crowd. This made everyone's head snap towards Her Majesty and the room go silent. "Now that everyone's listening, these few  must be fixed. I usually don't name them but today, I will. We will be fixing them up here."

Her majesty pulled back a large red curtain, revealing a mess of tools and machinery. There was a large bathtub, black lights and party lights, salt, powdered sugar, and multicolored dyes. "For anybody who can bring me the people listed. Asher Yielding, Ashlie Yielding, Clint Hayes, Lucy Charson, Max Hayes, and Venus Evergreen." Her Majesty called out to the crowd.

Fear enveloped me, as everyone started trying to grab us. My eyes met Her Majesty's and she simply waved at me. I felt a shock in my bones and immediately fell to the ground. I was then thrown over someone's shoulder. My captor led me, along with my friends, to the stage.

I was thrown to the floor, while my friends were tied to chairs. "Lucy will go first!" Her Majesty said joyously. I widened my eyes, though I couldn't move since the impact made me spend my time regaining my breath. As Ray untied Lucy, she began to scream. "No! Don't touch me! Stop!" I wanted to so badly help her but my body was in pain.

The pain was all I could feel but I had to stand. "No, please. Don't hurt her." I said, my legs shaking. I fell back to the floor. "Too late." Her Majesty said, pushing Lucy into the bathtub.
