I realized as I was walking that the place had no walls. I found this odd. It gave no trace as to where we were, and that was something I really wanted to find out.
The shadow had a tight hold on the rope, as did the collar around my neck. I nearly choked as I trudged along, staring at my shoes. Nobody was being very jocular, or anyTHING for that matter.
A cold sweat broke out along my forehead when I saw the cages. They were made of chainlink and brick, and were enclosed spaces. No way to get out. I looked to Eric. He looked befuddled, neither of us knew why we were here, and the creature's speech didn't really help much with that matter.
Before I had time to react I felt a pain in my back, the thing had stabbed me with a needle. "Damnit.." I yelped, falling almost instantly to the floor. I didn't want to be unconsious with that thing around, but I soon realized I had no choice.
This brings us to the present.
I was awake, every part of my body tingled, stung, rather. I couldn't see into the other cages, but I could hear Eric breathing hard beside me. I was near tears, and I didn't know why. They hadn't done anything to harm me yet. Why was I thinking that it was going to take a turn for the worse?
"Kyree?" That beautiful voice again. I hugged Eric close, all sorrow gone. This had actually turned out okay, I mean.. I was spending time with the hottie.. and in a cage. God, my mind was going wack.
"Did you hear what they plan to do with us?"
This stopped my breath. "What?.." I questioned, immediately wanting to take it back.
"You must have been sleeping.." Silence hung like death. "We're experiments for them.."
My eyes widened and I fell silent. "What kind of experiments?.."
Just then it came back, answering my question. 'We want a child to study, the female shall only have to hold it for a week. We shall extract it by other means.'
I'm sure a blush crossed my face, as I felt its words hit me. Me.. and Eric.. I glanced over at him. He just gave me a wink. Damn, what those things can do to you. My face was flaming red by now.
'I'll be back in one hour.' it told us, walking down the hall, it's nails clicking together.
