This is one of my dark fics, in fact my first REALLY dark fics. I don't turn them out very often, but this time i did. Yes, its depressing and angsty, but i DID put alot of work in it, even if it isn't my normal genre. There is a rating on this just to be safe, my main villian can get a little...violent at times.

Here it is, yet another story in my Sidney chronicles. Man..i've lost count of them...i think it's somewhere around the five mark.... Okay, i'm CALLING it part of my Sidney chronicles, even is she doesn't appear in it a whole lot. I mean she is IN it, just not as much as my usual fics.

Vivian, in case anyone is wondering, is like a cross between Medusa (from Greek myths, i like Greek mythology), Sil from the movie 'Species', and that Serlina woman from MIB2, yeah. She's brimming with evil!. I bet you're wondering who Vivian is?, read on my friend, read on.

Chapter 1 - Escape.

In a small town, tucked away on the outskirts of New York stood one solitary orphanage. A beautifull old mansion, it looked like the perfect place for someone unlucky enough not to have a family to grow up. But apperances can be deceptive. Hidden inside the mansion, underneath the area that any inspectors would see was a completely different world. Small rooms filled the hallways, all completely white, no pictures on the walls, with only one door for entry and a small widnow which looked into the hallway. Each room was meticulously clean, with no toys in any of them. Anyone passing would think it was some kind of laboratory, and they wouldn't be far off. Inside each of these small rooms was a child, each one had a frightend or sad expression on his or her face. There was no joy in this place for them. They were completely alone, without a single thought payed to them. Why worry about a few orphans?. One of the many guards that patroled the area was doing his nightly rounds. At each window he stopped, looked in, and walked off. He eventually came to a room with the words 'caution' and 'authorised personel only' plastered on the door. The man sighed and loked in. The room was empty. He blinked...that couldn't be right. He took out his radio and clicked it on.

"Room 106 is empty", he said.

"Check it out", came a female voice on the other end, "be carefull".

The man grunted in response and walked to the door. He took out a keychain with hundreds of keys on it. He found the single key numbered '106' and put it in the lock. He heard a click as the first lock came undone.

"Retinal scan required", came a computerised voice, as a small window opened on the door.

The guard put his eye close to the window, after a few seconds, some electronic beeping confirmed his identity. The door made a few more clicking sounds then stopped. The man pushed down on the handle and slowly opened the door. He glanced around, taking a stun gun out of it's holster and clicking the safety off as he entered. There was still no sign of life. He opened the door wide, and glanced quickly around....nothing. His hand reached for his radio when an invisible force suddenly pushed him to the back of the room, knocking him against the wall. He pointed his gun quickly at where he assumed his attacker to be and found nothing there.

"I know you're in here", he said, "why don't you show yourself?".

His hand was slowly reaching for his radio as he said this, he needed backup. Just as his hand touched his radio, he felt a searing pain on his face. He gave a yell and dropped the radio, putting his hands to his face. As soon as he did so, he regreted it, his hands also started to burn. He looked at one of his hands, to find an acidic goop burning it. Suddenly he heard a nasty crack. He looked up to see is radio being crushed on the ground by...nothing. The radio suddenly floated in the air and smashed up against the wall.

"Why should i show myself?", came a hiss from one of the walls, "just so you can shoot me with your little toy?".

The man was about to retort when he felt the searing pain again, this time on his chest. He roared in pain and looked up. Slowly, the piece of wall took the form of a green-skinned girl. Her eyes were inhuman. Her hair was tangled and looked like it used to be blonde, though was now a brown colour from years of neglect. Her arms didn't look like arms at all, they were more like tenticles, from the one placed on the man's chest, there dripped an acidic substance. The guard reached for his stun gun, only to have it knocked out of his hand by another tenticle, suddenly sprouting from the girl's hand.

"I suppose you're going to kill me now?", asked the gaurd with a frown, "you'll never get out, you know?".

"No i won't kill you....that would be too nice for the likes of you", hissed the girl, "and as for getting out, i think my chances are pretty good. Don't you?".

The man gave a muffled scream and a tenticle covered his mouth. He wimpered, now unable to scream as he saw a tenticle moving towards his eyes. He shook his head, silently praying for mercy.

"How does it feel to be on the other end of the punishment?", asked the girl, "pitty the last thing you're going to see is little 'ol me".

The man's eyes widened in terror as he saw the tenticles drop over his eyes. He felt an unbelievable pain, then his word went black. He heard a door slam shut before he felt conciousness leave him.



When he awoke, he awoke to a cloak of darkness.

"Easy Simon", he heard, and felt someone touch him on the shoulder.

"I..can't see", said Simon.

"I know", came a female voice, "you were attacked by Miss Sanderson. Her abilites mutated further. She gained chamealion - like abilities. Added to her ability to secrete acid from those tenticles of hers...she's become more dangerous than ever".

"She escaped...didn't she?", asked Kevin, his head hung low.

"Yes..she did", said the woman, "but we'll find her. I don't take escapees lightly. No one escapes the Black Womb for long. I pride myself on finding all those who get away from here".

"But there was...", started Simon.

"Like i said", said the woman, cutting him off, "i WILL find her. Get some rest Simon, you'll need it".

She walked out of the room and picked up her cell phone. She dialed a number quickly and waited for an anwser.

"Oh, Vivian, good to see you haven't ditched me", she said, "you know what you have to do?. Good, you keep up your end of the bargin and you will get your precious freedom. Simon?. It doesn't matter, one blind employee isn't going to change anything, you just worry about the job in hand. Yes, goodbye".

She put down the phone and smirked, the young lady was proving to be most productive.
