"Where is the shipment?" Erol impatiently and slowly questioned.
"What do you mean there's no shipment today! I specifically order you to-
Errol's insistent yelling pulled me from my peace. Ass hole was even in my dreams. Trying to move my wrists and ankles were bound to the stupid chair still. How long was I here?
"Idiots, just go and get it!" something was thrown then shot. Who bit his ass this morning-
"Good afternoon freak," scratch that who the hell bit his ass this afternoon? Who the hell bit mine?!
"Being civil... I'm so flattered," Sarcasm dripping like honey with my words. I was not happy with the rude awakening.
"You seem better... interesting," he mumbled under his breath before two guards came up and unstrapped me. They only walked me over to the side, cuffing me too.
There was a squeal, and some cussing. It registered in my mind that it was the girl. I took two steps forward only to be pushed back. Errol's gun pointing straight into my chest. Tears threatened to form within my eyes. I would never let him see me weak.
Again a shrill scream made my heart clench terribly. I watched as they brought the poor girl in. Her eyes red and puffy, her body I now noticed was malnourished. I felt horrible watching. I looked away as soon as she spotted me.
I felt something tap my chin, forcing me to watch. Satisfaction rolling off Errol in waves. My breath quickened steadily as they walked her to the chair. She fought back once more,
"Just get it over with," Errol snapped, he was obviously in a hurry.
"No- No- NO, Help me... MUMMY!" the poor girl sobbed and screamed. A sob involuntarily escaped my lips, my tears followed suit.
I begged for the creature to help. To listen. The girl didn't deserve to die. I however, got nothing in reply. Just anger and disgust towards Errol.
Strapping her down she whimpered and sobbed. The machine slowly whirred to life taking its sweet time. I couldn't take my eyes off the poor girl.
As soon as the eco touched her she convulsed releasing a glass shattering shriek. Then nothing.
"Bio readings... Ceased, experiment failed."
Errol released his hold, I sank down to my knees, staring at the small child forever asleep. She looked at peace.
**Innocenccce diesss firssst**
A slightly mournful voice stated.
It all became silent.
They took me to my cell, this time I went... willingly.
I sat on the corner of the cot numbly.
"I could have saved her."
That morning I didn't even bother listening to Errol, I waited until I was already strapped to the chair.
"Poor little Ixora, did your little bff die," Errol laughed. I only closed my eyes, a dull throb made home on my cheek. Errol glared at me with crazed hatred.
"Your either very lucky or very unlucky to have lived this long. The baron needs results, or I have to take matters into my own hands... or until we find a replacement." I shivered, feeling sorry for the damned soul to be able to live through the injections like I.
"Sir?" a guard approached the door way hesitant.
"What is it now?" his voice thundered, making the guard flinch back.
"T-the shipments arrived, the baron would like to see you." Errol clicked his tongue and turned on his heel, waving his hand behind him. Signaling the machine to go. Clenching my jaw, I didn't even scream this time. A blanket of darkness covering my sight.
I woke up sometime later, with the machine off. No one was around, glancing around it was deathly silent. Errol came in, ruining the silence for me- his whole presence spoke butt wipe. With a grin so wide you'd think he was high.
"You remember the surprise I've told you about?" I only stared not really focusing on him. He only seemed slightly annoyed,
"Where is it? Where is the- Commander, any... change?" A thunderous voice boomed expectantly, Errol grew rigid I swear the guy was shitting bricks. Guess he didn't expect Praxis to show up.
"No sir," he gritted out, Praxis grew red but calmed immediately.
"The others are here, have you gotten what I asked?" Praxis said regaining his composure, Errol smiled. Turning to the hall where the cells were,
"Yes sir, should be brought here any minute along with our guests," my mind blanched, guests? He doesn't mean... oh... no. My stomach drooped and my heart sank.
"Good, now. Return this one to its cell, and get started right away," with that he left. Errol, slowly turned. "Now, lets go meet our new friends. I bet they're dying to meet you," I was quickly unstrapped and dragged to the hallway. I glared at the floor beneath me, that is until a group of gasps made my head snap up. A group of three men and one woman, stared wide eyed at me.
'Here we go again,' I grimaced as they exclaimed about my appearance. I'm so pale, and dirty. Bruised and beaten- blah blah blah, like I give a rats as- Hello! Errol stood in front of my cell.
"Now, now, Ixora that's no way to greet our guests," Errol shoved me towards them, parting like the red sea I fell. They avoided me, grumbling to myself I march right into my cell slamming the door shut and curled in a corner.
'Stupid people,' again they paired up, leaving me alone in my cell... good. Just as they were being herded into their new homes, a commotion was heard- and quickly approaching.
I couldn't help it I stared, and I mean I was gawking full on at what I saw before me.
