A Hidden Past

Thanks for the reviews I really appreciate it, this is my first fanfiction. I'm not sure of any pairings yet but my favourite is B/S I will always try to update as soon as possible.

Chapter 2

Shalimar had always been small for her age, her mother had always passed it off as having a "petite" build, but Shalimar put it down to only having one meal a day, if she was lucky, her parents hope it would slow her vast amounts of energy. Shalimar was 9 years old but just short of 4ft tall, she has long blonde curly locks and with her fair complexion some would say she looked angelic.

However as Shalimar woke she used these assets to try and hide away from the new environment that confronted her. The extreme white wash of the walls so different from the dark dingy basement she was used hurt her eyes. The smells that assaulted her nose were of antiseptic and hospitals.

This is not good. I'm not sick why am I in a hospital……

Shalimar's train of thought was interrupted as she heard voices accompanied by footsteps heading towards her door.

"We have a very interesting specimen for you sir, very interesting blood work here take a look."

"Hmm a new-mutant, a feral a very powerful feral, lets take a look shall we."

She heard a hand connect with the door handle, the key in the lock, Shalimar ran to bed as the door opened. A very scary man in a white lab coat and white hair came through the door.

"Hello Miss Fox my name is Mr Eckhart and we going to be working together. Get her prepped."

The "doctors" approached Shalimar was out of room there was no more room to back up, they pinned her on the bed.

"No, no, no please don't, what are you doing? Ouch!"

Her cries were ignored as they injected her, she felt her strength ebbed slightly as the Sedative entered her system but it wasn't enough to keep her down a she fought back. Shalimar managed to throw one of the orderlies who went crashing into the opposite wall, the other orderlies backed off slightly surprised by her strength.

"What are you doing? She's just a little girl go get her you idiots."

The orderlies advanced once again, this time they had her cornered, one orderly grabbed her ankles the second held her stomach to the floor, and the third held her arms down. They lifted her in the air.

"Finally, now get her to room 314 and leave her there."

Eckhart then stepped towards Shalimar who was struggling mid-air.

"Now Miss Fox you are going learn a lesson in respect and manners but above all the consequences for fighting back. Take her away."

Room 314 was remarkably similar to the one she'd just been in expect there was no bed but there were grey metal pipes in the 4 corners of the room. Shalimar sat in the middle of the room with her knees pulled into her chest suspicious of what the pipes were for.

It was soon clear exactly what they were, blow torch flame throwers. The far left pipe suddenly ignited, Shalimar startled ran to the opposite corner, she sat back on her haunches teeth bared eyes glowing. A voice then filtered into the room from a speaker, it was Eckhart.

"You see Miss Fox, all ferals have a primal fear of fire. This will be your fate if you ever decide to be uncooperative again, is that understood, Miss Fox?"

To punctuate his sentence he turned on the blow torch Shalimar had backed into. The heat and the pain was immediate as the flames scorched her back. Shalimar screamed out in pain as she withdrew to the middle of the room, the only place safe from the flames. Once she was there all 4 pipes light up, Shalimar curled in on herself only to be assaulted again by a wave of pain and nausea as the skin on her back stretched.

"I said is that understood, Miss Fox?"

Shalimar slowly raised her head as the white-haired man's face appeared in the window, he raised an eyebrow. Shalimar's eyes glowed with anger as she slowly nodded her head.

"What was that Miss Fox?"

"Yes I understand."

"Good, now goodnight Miss Fox."

Gas started filling the room from an air vent. Shalimar started to fill dizzy as the fast breathing took more gas into her lungs and before long everything went dark.

So she had what use wished for a live away from her parents, however this was not what she had in mind, who would've thought live could get any worse.
