The pure survivors

Chapter 5

Slowly her eyes opened up only to close again due to the bright light shining down on her face. Slowly and more carefully she tried to open up her eyes again. Above her was a bright surgical lamp that was the source of the light. She blinked a couple of times to get her eyes to focus before she could look around to see where she was at. It appeared to be a medical room with a lot of machines scattered around the room. There was a tray right next to her head which displayed a wide variety of surgical tools. She tried to sit up only to find that she had been strapped down to the bed, if you can even call it that as it was so uncomfortable, with leather straps. She tried to wiggle out of them only to find it useless. Being the only one in the room and with nowhere to go she let boredom consume her whilst waiting for someone to get her out of here.

After about an hour a little beeping noise went off inside of her head. A red dot appeared in her eyes that was moving along the wall and slowly making its way to the door. She didn't know what the dot was and tried to get rid of it by blinking. Unfortunately the beeping in her head kept going even if she had her eyes closed and the red dot was back the second she opened her eyes. By now it had stopped on top of the door and a noise could be heard from the other side of said door. The sound stopped before the door was swung open revealing a elderly man wearing a lab coat. His face was incredibly white with a lot of rimpels. His blue eyes were focused on the chart that he was holding in his skeletal like fingers. His thin white hair was pulled back into a tiny ponytail as he didn't have a lot of hair, the bald spot on top of his head was definitely not helping with the volume of his hair.

He closed the door behind him and walked into the room, still not looking up from the chart. The girl had been so focused on the man that she only now noticed that the beeping had stopped and that the red dot had disappeared. She kept her eyes trained on the man like a predator who was watching its prey. Only she wasn't so certain if she was the predator or the prey at the moment. She suddenly noticed that the man was wearing a name tag, with on it written 'Dr. Sanatio'. After the man had thoroughly scanned his chart he finally looked up. His blue eyes meeting her hazel ones in a sort of staring contest. This was only stopped because the girl got an incredible headache. It was so strong that she had to close her eyes, her bonds now barely holding her down as she started to struggle. Behind her closed eyelids appeared a little girl that was strapped down in a similar way as she was now. The little girl struggled as wel whilst a familiar doctor placed two metal rods against her head. As quickly as the headache came, just as quickly did it leave. She was starting to get really confused. Because of this she didn't see the look of worry on the doctors face, only snapping out of her trans by the sound of the man speaking. "We might have a situation in upgrading room 17. Could somebody come over for backup?" The man asked before a 'roger that.' Was heard through the static. When the doctor stopped talking another painful shot went through her brain. More flashes of a person she didn't recognize shot before her eyes. She was once again thankful when the pain disappeared.

By now the doctor was very worried and was watching her like a hawk. Not long after the last incident a beeping sound was heard again in the girls ears together with three red dots. They hurriedly moved along the wall and not long after the door opened. A woman, presumably another doctor by her attire, stepped through first with two strongly build men behind her. "Thank you for coming. There seems to be something wrong with the patient, something I haven't seen before. She has been having these episode's of intense pain." Right on cue the girl got another headache making her entire body tremble. More flashes of a live she didn't remember flashed before her eyes. Tears were streaming down her face as a painful cry escaped her throat. The two doctors  stared at her almost scared, this being something both of them had never seen before. The pain lasted a lot longer then the previous times and by the time it was over the girl was thanking whatever miracle made the pain stop. She was a panting mess by now and her body felt sore. The new doctor, who hadn't been able to move due to the shock of seeing the patient in so much pain, walked up to Dr. Sanatio and took the chart out of his hands. She scanned it quickly before asking. "Has patient Lilly ever had these episodes before the upgrade?" Lilly!
