1Chapter two

Hesitantly I nodded. It's only polite, after all who would bother to make a room for their experiments? Let alone even bothering to take care of them in the first place. Dr. Carson led me down a hallway filled with framed newspaper clippings. When I tried to look closer Dr. Carson gently pulled me along.

At the end of the hall was a white painted door that matched the color of the rest of the house. He smiled and asked me to close my eyes. I did and his gentle hands led me inside.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." I did and I saw a room that I could have never dreamed of. The walls weren't white, but they were blue, like the sky. Soft clouds floated across the walls and, faded in the distance, was a flock of birds. The carpet was grass green, and pots of plants and flowers lined the walls.

"This is amazing...!" I breathed. Dr. Carson closed the door. I gasped. Painted, in perfect detail, was the angelic figure of me. Arms folded and head bowed as if I was praying to some unseen protector.

"How did you do this?" He smiled and blushed.

"I uh... I had a little free time..."

I ran over to him and hugged him. I don't know why, but I felt more like he was a family I never had. However I hardly knew him. Dr. Carson hesitated and eventually he hugged back. I let go and blushed. I can't do this! I have to get home!

He fidgeted and started to leave. "I... I'll leave you alone for a while." When the door closed I fell on my bed. Tears escaped my eyes and sobs soon followed.

The next day

The rest of the day before sped by fast. I kept to myself in my room and occasionally Dr. Carson would come in and check on me. Today, however, I dared to venture out of my captive's home while he slept. The outside was warm and quiet. Stars danced playfully against the loving dark violet sky. Enjoying this moment was soon short lived. Down the road I saw the two bright lights of a vehicle coming down the road. My heart hammered in my chest... what if they saw me? They would take me home wouldn't they? No! They would scream and call the police on the "monster".

In a haste filled instant I jumped into a conveniently placed bush next to the door. When the car drove by tears welled up in my eyes. I could never go home. With sadness dampening my soul I made my way back into the house.

The room was dark and cold when I entered. Carefully I examined the room that is my prison. With a deep sigh I began to quietly make my way back to my room. An arm grabbed me and pulled me around. Before I knew who it was I was slapped across the face and fell down.

"I told you never... NEVER to leave! Never to go outside! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME! Do you even have the faintest idea of what could have happened if anybody saw you!" Roared Dr. Carson.

I held the side of my face and tears welled up in my eyes. "No one saw me I swear!" I croaked.

He leered down at me. "How can I possibly believe you!" He spat out the words with such disgust the very way he looked at me caused me to draw back in fear. "I will teach you to obey my words! Never will you disrespect me again! DO YOU HEAR ME!" Dr. Carson took a handful of my hair and dragged me into my room. He threw me on the bed and screamed into my face.

"YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS ROOM AGAIN! FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR DISGUSTING LIFE YOU WILL ROT AWAY IN HERE!" He stormed out and slammed the door behind him. As the lock clicked the real despair began to eat away at me. I bent over holding myself. I've never seen him this way... I shook with such fear that the very words he spoke last nauseated me. For the remainder of the night sobs was the only thing heard throughout the house.

The next morning Dr. Carson did not enter my room. I listened closely, but I didn't even hear him walking. Still laying on the floor I let my mind wonder. I thought of ways that I could escape, go home, but each time one of those ideas came it was replaced with that sickening fear and the thought of what Dr. Carson would do if he discovered me missing.

A door slammed and I jumped up. Was it Dr. Carson? Was it someone to come and get me? Steps came closer and closer. I stood up and waited for whatever came through that door. The steps stopped and a soft knock rapped at the door.

"C... Come in." I stammered. Would Dr. Carson bother to knock?

My question was answered. Dr. Carson opened the door and looked at the floor. We both just stood there in silence, not willing to say anything to the other. I took a breath for courage and steadied myself.

"Yes Dr. Carson?"

He looked up at me for a moment, obviously not expecting for me to speak first. "Um... I brought you some food." I looked down and saw that he was carrying a plate with assorted foods from fruit to steak. He placed it on the floor and left, closing the door behind him. If he locked the door I didn't notice. My focus was on the food that he had just offered me. My mind pondered my situation. Was it poisoned? Did it have some new serum to disfigure me further? I picked up a grape and smelled it. It seemed fine... but how could I be sure? I willed the courage to open my mouth and prepared to eat what could possibly mean more suffering, or maybe even death...

Okaaaaaaaaaaay I'm like out of ideas, but I like this story so I'm going to have to come back and write another chapter I 'spose... yea...
