A/N I had a few technical issues with this story and stupidly removed it and reposted it. I shouldn't have done that and should've let it fix itself. Sorry about that.

Chapter 1

I walked out of the movie theater with my closest, and only friend, Beck Oliver. He had been a little busy lately and we finally got a chance to hang out Saturday night. After watching two movies the we had decided to call it quits for the night and headed out.

"Are you sure you don't want a ride, Jade?" Beck asked.

"Yeah. I need a walk." I said.

"It's late. It'll be dark before you get home." Beck pointed out.

I nodded, "I know. That way I won't have to tel my parents cars aren't home and that it's true that they don't really care."

"Jade, I-"
"It's fine, Beck. Not like it's your fault."

Beck looked down at the pale girl, "You know I love you right?"
I chuckled lightly, "You know we didn't work out, Beck."
"That isn't what I meant."
"I know. Look, don't worry okay? I'll be fine. If anything comes up I have my cell phone and I have my scissors in my boot. I'll text you to let you know when I get home."
Beck sighed and nodded his head, "Alright. Just be careful."

"You know me. The definition of careful." I smirked and turned and walked down the street.

It was dark before I got ten minutes away from the theater. The streets were starting to clear out and I somewhat felt like I was being watched, but blamed it on Beck being so worry-some. Even if something did happen to me it's not like anyone would miss me (Beck would be fine and would get over it). My parents were never around and obviously never wanted me, which made me not trust anyone and put on a tough bitch exterior that scared everyone away. Except Beck, but he's too nice for his own good sometimes.

A van flew past me and I glared at it as it drove away. I started to walk across the road when I saw the van do a u-turn and speed toward me. My eyes widened as I took off at a a run. When looked back and saw the van was following me. I decided to lose it by ducking down an alley and took a minute to look back. The van kept going and I let out a sigh of relief. I had gotten halfway down the alley when I saw the van park at the other side. Immediately I spun around and ran back the way I came. As I came out from between the buildings I ran right into the arms of a man. He quickly put a cloth over my nose and mouth and I quickly lost consciousness.

As I started to come to I could barely make out voices."Her name is Jadelynn Lucile West. Her father works as a lawyer and her mother is a very important brain surgeon. They're never home and won't miss her."

"Good. Hopefully this will work." A woman said.

"If it doesn't we can try again with another girl. She's coming too."
I opened her eyes and found myself looking up at a man and a woman, both wearing protective face masks. The woman had brown eyes and matching hair and was looking straight into my eyes. I tried to sit up but found my hands and feet restrained. I glanced down to see that I was laying on a table and was only in my black bra and panties. The room I was in was dark everywhere, except there were bright lights around the table I was laying on. "What the hell are you doing?! Where am I?"
"Relax sweetheart," the woman said sweetly, "You're going to help us with something."
"Help you? You kidnapped me!" I snapped.

"Feisty isn't she?" The man chuckled as he looked at the woman. "Are you ready to perform the surgery Doctor Vega?"

"Surgery!? I don't need surgery!"

"Yes, I am." Dr. Vega completely ignored my protest.

"Should we give her anesthesia?"

"There's no time, Roland. Roll her over and we will begin."
Roland unhooked my restraints from their places and I immediately started to fight the man. He quickly smashed my head against the table and my vision quickly went blurry. He took advantage of this and smoothly rolled me over, re-hooking the restraints before I could recover.

"You will never get away with this!" I shouted.

Roland wrapped another restraint around the middle of my back and secured it. "She's ready now."
"Good. Scalpel."
"What the fuck do you people want?!"

I felt a sharp point on my lower back as Dr. Vega spoke. "Well if you have to know that bad I suppose we can spare a moment. See, we're conducting a very important experiment and you my dear are going to help us."

"You know my Dad's a lawyer! I'm going to-"
"You won't do anything. We both know your Dad doesn't care about you. No one will miss you."
"I...when I don't text Beck-"
"Your friend will quickly forget about you. Now you may feel a light pinch." Dr. Vega said.

I bit into my lip as the blade pierced into my skin. I felt a long cut made into my skin and managed to hold back a pained cry. I couldn't hold it back, however, when I felt fingers reach into the incision.

"Yes, this is big enough. Hand me the embryo." Dr. Vega said.

"I thought it was more of a stone." Roland commented.

"What!?"

I felt the doctor reach into my body and a moment later I felt something snap onto my spine. I cried out, expecting to feel pain but was dumbfounded when it never came. I gasped as whatever they had put into me seemed to meld into my spine, connecting to it.

"Did you see that?" Roland asked.
"Yes, I did. Sew her up. If something goes wrong we'll cut it open and try again." Dr. Vega said.

When the pain in my back simply disappeared, my confusion grew. I had gotten stitches before and knew it was painful, but I couldn't understand why it didn't hurt this time.

"Now, please tell me you saw that." Roland asked again, surprised.

"She just healed. The cut just closed!" Dr. Vega cried astonished. "Let me test this."
I let out a scream when something pierced my skin, obviously not a scalpel as it was much sharper and longer, and sliced from my back to my side. I felt the pain immediately and closed my eyes tightly, but quickly found that the pain was slowly subsiding.

"That wound should not be healed! You saw me cut into her." Dr. Vega said.

"With a wound like that it should have taken a few weeks to heal and it would have scarred."

I managed to somewhat look back at the woman, "What the fuck did you people do to me?!"

The doctor ignored the goth girl, however, and continued to talk to Roland. "This is extraordinary!"

"It doesn't seem to have taken over her though." Roland said.

Taken over me? Oh, God, why couldn't I have just accepted Beck's ride? I cursed myself mentally.

"Oh, my God. She really did it!" A new voice said. I tried to look for the source of the voice but couldn't see anything.

"Do you have more people in here? Hello!?" I cried into the darkness.

"Other people?" Dr. Vega sounded confused. "Jade, what are you talking about?"
"The girl! I can hear her!"

This time Dr. Vega grabbed my arms while Roland released the straps from my back and wrists. They rolled me over and left me in an uncomfortable position while they redid my wrists and then moved to do the same to my legs. When I was on my back again they both looked at me. Dr. Vega questioned, "What girl?"
"I'm so sorry for what they've done to you."

"Her! She just said she's sorry for what you did to me!" I snapped. How can they just ignore her?

"Maybe the procedure didn't work." Roland suggested.

"Let's give it a few days. It obviously worked, you saw those wounds heal. Put her in one of the rooms and I'll check in on her later." Dr. Vega said.

"Right."

Roland unhooked me from the bed just to cuff my hands behind my back. He lead me through what I was starting to think was an old hospital and pushed me into a room. The room didn't have a window or any furniture; it only had a mattress with a pillow and sheet. There was a door leading to a bathroom to my right, but I could see there was no window, but it looked like there was a shower and a toilet. Roland uncuffed my hands and shut the door and I heard a lock click.

I sat on the mattress and ran my hands through my hair, trying to wrap my brain around what just happened to me. I was jumped by some crazy people who cut my back open and put some object inside of me. It attached to my spine and now apparently I was healing at a super fast rate? God this is crazy. It seems like I'm never going to get out of here. I felt my tears build up and fought to hold them back.
"Don't cry. Please."

I jumped to my feet and looked around, "Who-who said that?!"
"I did."

"Where are you?"

"I'm inside your mind."
