Part 4
This first
thing Maria realised as she woke up was that she was cold and the second thing
she noticed was that she couldn't move. She moved her head to see what was holding her down and saw that she was
in a glass room. Her hands were tied
down with leather bonds.
Maria
tilted her head back and saw that there were other rooms like hers around
her. But what she saw there disturbed
her. All of her friends were in those
rooms, as well as Tess, because Maria wasn't going to call her a friend.
Everyone
else was awake and Liz was the first to notice Maria awake. "Maria are you okay?" she asked.
"I
think so. I have a headache that would
kill a large group of dogs, but other than that I'm okay. Does anyone know where we are?"
"No,
we all woke up after we had been put here. It figures though that all the trouble would start again when you guys
came back." Tess said.
Liz got
angry. "Look Tess, don't blame
this on us. We don't even know who has
us or why they want us."
Alex was
also getting mad, "God, Tess you know that the world doesn't revolve
around you. Maybe whoever has us
doesn't even want you."
"Oh
and is there a reason that they would want you?" Tess asked scornfully.
Throughout
the fighting everyone else had been quiet.
"Look
guys can we all just calm down and wait until someone can give us some
answers." Max the even calm on
said.
"Well
I hate to break into the calmness that you have produced Max but could you
answer me one question?" Maria
asked.
"If I
can."
"Why
am I the only one tied down?" Maria asked in a worried voice.
"Well
Mr Evans will not be able to answer that but I can." A man in a doctor's coat walked into tho
room that Maria was in.
They all
turned and looked at the man who walked up to Maria.
"Hello
Miss DeLuca and all of you. I'm Dr
Matherson. Miss DeLuca to answer you're
the reason that you are tied down is because we are going to perform some tests
on you."
Some other
men in lab coat walked into the room with different kinds of equipment that you
find at the hospital.
"What
kind of tests?" Maria asked eying
all the equipment.
"Well
nothing like we performed on Mr Evans…" the doctor started.
"So
you are from the FBI!!" Tess
exclaimed.
Matherson
turned to Tess. "Yes Miss Harding
I am from the FBI. Now back to
answering Maria's question. We are going
to see how healthy you are, take a look inside you. That kind of thing, but the most important thing is to see if you
are fertile."
The
doctor's last words caused at stir amongst the teenagers.
"You
can't do that to her! She's only a
teenager." Liz cried.
"Do
you lay a finger on her!" Michael
snarled.
But it was
Maria's reaction that was the worst. She was pulling on her bonds trying to break them. She wasn't getting very far but the other
men were holding her down.
"You
can't do this to me! This is
illegal! I'll sue! I swear to God!" Maria cried.
The doctor
smiled down at Maria like she was an upset child. "Miss DeLuca calm down or we will give you something to calm
you down. Nothing bad is going to
happen to you."
"Nothing
bad! How can you say that? You're going inside my body and you're
telling me that it's nothing bad!"
"Miss
DeLuca!" the doctor said sharply, "calm down. We don't want to have to sedate you, but we
will if necessary."
But Maria
wouldn't calm down. She was pulling so
hard on her bonds that one of them snapped. When one of the technicians went to grab her she punched him. It was a fairly good puch drawing blood. She snapped the other bond and sat up but
two other people pushed her back down and she felt a needle go into her
arm. Before she blacked out se heard
the doctor say, "How did she do that?"
********
When Maria
came to she was in a different room on a bed. Liz was looking at her worriedly. "Maria you're awake. How
are you feeling?" Liz's voice was
a bit shaky and she looked like she had been though hell.
"Okay. Liz what's going on?" Maria asked feeling groggy.
"I
don't know. No one will tell us
anything. But they did the same thing
to us as they did to you."
"Oh
god Liz. Are you okay?" Maria asked not worrying about herself
anymore but concerned for Liz because she seemed to know what happened to her.
"Yeah
I'm okay. I don't know about Isabelle
though. She put up a fight too and she
was given a sedative and she hasn't woken up yet."
"How
long was I out for?" Maria asked.
"About
2 hours. Whatever they gave you was
strong." This answer didn't come
from Liz though. It came from Michael.
Maria
looked around her to see that everyone else was in a room like hers. The boys were one side and the girls were on
the other.
"What
did they give me?" Maria asked.
"How
are we supposed to know? You're the one
that got us into this situation in the first place." Tess snapped.
"How
the hell did I get you here? What did I
do to contribute to this? Did I call
the FBI and tell them to come and get us? No! So stop thing about yourself
for once Tess because I'm not in the mood to listen to you." Maria yelled.
"Look
yelling at eachother isn't going to get us out of here okay. We have to find out what these people want
with us." Max said.
"Yeah
and why they would want Alex, Maria, Liz and I." Kyle said. "I mean
there's nothing special about us. So
why are we here?"
"Didn't
you here them? They were testing us to
see if we were fertile so use your imagination from there to find out the
answer." Michael said
sarcastically.
"Oh,
well that isn't going to work because there is no way that I am sleeping with
anyone of you." Maria said.
"We
may not have much choice in the matter." Isabelle said.
They all
turned to Isabelle who was sitting up in her bed.
"Are
you okay Izzy?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Have we found out anymore about what's going on yet?"
"No
but maybe if we yell loud enough we will get some answers." Maria suggested.
"There
will be not need for that. I can answer
most of your questions." A man
walked though a door into the corridor that separated the boys from the girls.
They all
turned to the voice and Liz and Maria gasped. The man looked at Maria. "Hello Maria."
"Hello
dad." Maria responded.
