Rose opened her eyes, but before she could figure out where she was rough hands forced her to her feet. She struggled. Her hands were bound behind her back. What the hell was going on? She twisted and pulled trying to break loose.

"You're not going anywhere," a man said, she recognized his voice. Cavin that was his name.

Everything came back in a flood of memories. The bloke who rescued her from the Master only to wind up kidnapping her. He locked her in a cell and he was planning on selling her. If she ever got free he'd pay. She'd make sure of that. She looked around. She was still in the cell he'd put her in, but the door was open. She pulled and tugged, trying to break free.

"Let me go!" she yelled, knowing it was futile, but she couldn't help it.

"You're much too valuable for that," he replied, and then gave her a shove as he started walking toward the open door.

Wait. He was taking her out of the cell. Why would he do that? Fear flooded through her heart. Had he already sold her? How long had she been out? Was she still on that planet?

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"We're going for a little walk," he replied.

"Where?"

"I told you, first, I'm going to find out what you are."

So, he didn't know yet, which meant he hadn't sold her. But did that mean they were still on that planet? She didn't know.

"I already told you what I am," she said.

"Yeah, a human girl." He laughed. "I think we both know that's a lie. You're something different. Something valuable. I'm just not sure how valuable…yet."

He drug her down the hall. She struggled. Somehow she had to get away. There wasn't anyone to come for her. If she was going to get free she'd have to do it on her own. She felt him shift, she pulled away from him, hoping to break free, but his hold on her arm tightened, pinching her skin and she was pretty sure she'd have bruises, well, if she could still get bruises. She continued to struggle, but a moment later pain flared across her back and she almost collapsed as her legs threatened to buckle.

"Keep struggling and I'll keep shocking you," he warned.

"I'm going to kill you," she growled.

"I'm quite sure you want to, however, that's never going to happen," he replied.

He drug her into some kind of control room. There was another room on the other side. She could see it through the large glass window that separated them. There was a chair in the other room with straps. It sat in the middle of the floor. Another wave of fear hit her. What was that chair for? Was that where he was taking her?

"What is this?" she asked as he led her across the control room and through a door that led into the other room.

"This is where I'm going to find out what you are. Where I'm going to test you."

"Test me. What the hell-" but she was cut off as he roughly forced her into the chair.

She tried to struggle, but he shocked her again and this time she saw the device he was using. Some kind of a gun that emitted an electrical pulse. Two men she hadn't seen before walked over and began helping him.

"Don't do this," she insisted.

She wasn't sure what he was going to do, but she knew it wasn't good and if he found out what she was. That would be worse than bad. Her plan to find her daughter someday would vanish.

One of her legs was forced into a strap and then her other leg. One of the men un-cuffed her hands and she used that opportunity to claw and hit anyone who was close enough, but another jolt from that gun and her hands were captured and being forced into restraints attached to the arms of the chair. Once she was strapped in there wasn't anything she could do.

"Please," she begged.

"Don't worry," Cavin said. "This will all be over soon and then I'll find you a new home. Although, I can't guarantee what the conditions will be like."

He pulled some kind of a device down that was hanging over the chair and set it on her head. She wasn't sure what it was. Metal. She was sure of that. She glanced up. There were wires running from it, crisscrossing across the ceiling.

"Please, don't do this," she pleaded, looking into his eyes, but she found no mercy within them.

Instead of answering, he turned around and walked back out the door with the two blokes following him. She could see him through the window. He walked over to the control panel and bent down. She closed her eyes, a tear sliding down her cheek.

"Now, just hold still. This shouldn't take very long," he said through the speaker system.

He flipped a switch and the room, the chair, everything vanished as pain flared through her entire body. More pain than she'd ever felt in her entire life. It was blinding and devoured everything else. She screamed.
