It was cold. Colder than usual. Where was I? And more importantly, who was I? My brain slowly began receiving the data off my body. Feet, check. Legs, check. Abdomen, check. Chest, check. Arms, check. Hands, check. Head, check. I felt nervous to open my eyes for the first time in I don't know how long. After a few seconds passed my swollen eyelids lifted themselves. A blinding light forced itself upon me, fluttering my lashes I winced in pain from the shock. Now to lift myself up. I thought with a grimace. Muscle by muscle I could feel each one ache and groan from the stress and tension I pulled on them. Most of the pressure laid within my neck and shoulders.

Looking around I saw that I was on some sort of a steel, medical table. The light was florescent and stood above me glaring down. A door was off to my right, about twenty feet; an electronic pad was built beside it. Great, a scanner. I looked in front of me starting at the ground I followed the pristine white floor to the wall. Higher and higher I went until I suddenly saw...myself?

A mirror was implanted to the wall and my sight finally regained its memory of what I looked like pale skin, slightly freckled, sharp jaw line, slender figure, matted strawberry blonde hair and piercing grey eyes. I stared at myself for what seemed to be ages. Finally, I willed my limbs to keep moving a sharp pain sprouted through my arms to elsewhere. I grunted in discomfort looking down to find that various wires and tubing were pulsing under my skin. I bit my lip and grabbed them from the base of my forearm. One, two, thre- I pulled them out with a thrust, blood spurted on my upper lip and streamed down to my fingers. The warmth of it made me forget the pain, but it was rapidly forgotten as another ache shot through my skull. Raising my fingers to my face , they crept upwards to the two tubes located in my head. A shout left my lips, the agony indescribable. A hissing came from the hoses as I threw them to the ground.

Letting my feet drop to the icy tile floor, I slowly shuffled forward to the mirror. Step after step I grew with anticipation. Anticipation to shatter the glass in front of me. Reaching it I placed both of my palms on it. The feeling of something on them felt so foreign. The look in my eyes was so sullen and dark. I tried playing with the emotions of my cheeks to make them seem more… friendlier, but no matter what I did they retained that sinister steel quality.

The arctic air in the room brushed against me again. Goosebumps raised along my naked body and I remembered my previous goal. Closing my eyes I turned away from the mirror focusing my attention on the door. My mind went to auto-pilot as I grabbed one of the previous I-Vs I had in my arms , my gripped tightened upon the bloody needle as I neared the exit. Once I reached it crouched down to the scanner's level. With the needle I slowly pushed its way into the slot, moving around it gently tapped down upon the locking mechanism. Another grunt and I successfully broke it, the door slid up and I was out.
