Chapter 2

i woke up to a harsh light shining in my face, i was in a different room. the operation room, i heard voices “she's awake?, how is that?” a mask was placed over me and i began to daze out again but i felt the sharp pain of a needle go into my arm. when i woke up once again i was back in my room and Chris was at the door “hey” he said softly “i was told to watch you because you woke up during” he opened the door and i panicked thinking he was going to knock me out again but he held his hands up whilst closing and locking the door behind him “its not your turn yet, still got about a day to go before you fully recover although you've woken up earlier than most of the others” “you mean the other lab rats you have locked up in here” “sorry, i know, sorry” “why do you seem nice about it shouldn't you not care, if you cared in the first place you wouldn't be working here” i didn't get a reply he just looked to the ground, he walked over and sat on the edge of my bed “i cant say anything, the cameras they will find out” “well how can you talk now, wouldn't they get you for simply being in here” “no you see they only pick up a few words and if its the wrong words they hear well then i get killed” i choked a little “they’ll do that?” i said with surprise “yeah, if i try to leave too, the camera monitors words if I'm not to be in here but they know I'm in here i asked if i could be to make sure you didn't die” “why would you do that? don't you have others to look after?” “no not really, its mainly you and the girl across from you but you seem strong willed and i have hope that you wont end up like most experiments” “what happens to most..” i stopped, it hit me they died, they didn't survive the operations or toxins or whatever it was they were doing but whatever it was contained a lot of blood being spilled, i saw that when i woke up the bed across from me was drenched in it, bright red blood was everywhere but before i could think about it i was out again. Chris looked at me his gorgeous chocolate eyes staring into mine “you’ve been here a week now, how long does it feel to you?” “a WEEK a whole damn week, it felt like one day maybe two” “you see you're practically unconscious the whole time so I've been watching you taking care of you because thats what we have to do and you heal faster than any of the other patients I've seen so does you're roommate across the hall, thats why I'm so interested because its working for you two well at least faster than it has for the others, you are special, you're gonna be the one to get out of here” i thought for a second i heal faster? its working? whats working? me special no he has to be confused I'm the simplest most boring person you could ever meet i even look boring with medium brown hair that curls a little, simple blue eyes and pale skin, I'm average weight too, I'm nothing special. i looked up and said “if they continue with these experiments I'm only going to get weaker how do you expect me to escape” “with my help of course, don’t you worry i’ll just make sure you're safe and we will figure something out, we can talk in private more when the camera go off because we can just afford to have them, so they get turned off at 7 at night to save the energy for them but you guys don't know that…well now you do but thats when i’ll come in as we serve dinner then, we bring you food and i’ll come in and we can talk more okay” “okay but can i just ask one more thing before you go?” “yes” “have you been dressing me? because I'm in new clothes every time i wake up” he went bright red and did and embarrassed little smile “well you see, no one else is allowed to take care of you unless i ask and we are short on female staff so…um..yeah..i have but don’t worry, i swear i didn't look, I've only changed the nightgown nothing else” he played with his thumbs and bit his lip from embarrassment but began to walk out, i called out as he began to leave “thank you”.
