Well things aren't looking good for our two main characters. If it wasn't bad enough. They were ambushed, but they've managed to capture Lily and take her away. What ever plan Frieza can formulate, let's hope it's a good one. This chapter will give you insight on where she was taken. It will mainly be from Lily's P.O.V. Enjoy :)
Wherever Lily was it was extremely bright. As soon as she awoke, she squinted her eyes from the brightness. She found herself on a small uncomfortable cot. It was as stark white as the walls, ceiling, and floor of the sparse room. Even her clothes were replaced with equally white, thin clothes. The room was a perfect square, making Lily feel like she's being kept in a box. She must be in some type of cell. There was barely anything to it. As soon as she got up and moved away from the cot. It slid into a hidden compartment inside the wall, causing her to jump.
Now she really looked like she was being kept in a box. With the bed now secured in the wall, there was no other furniture to be seen. She walked the perimeter, seeing if she could find anymore hidden compartments in the wall. Once she got to another corner, what resembled a toilet emerged from the wall. About a foot away from it, emerged what could've only been a sink.
She then noticed a little further down on the floor was a small drain. Lily stepped over to it and out popped a shower head from the wall and turned on. Underneath a small compartment no more than eight inches across and three inches wide. It opened up revealing three small tubes. Which could've only been identified as liquid body soap, shampoo, and conditioner.
She quickly stepped back as to not get wet. The shower head turned off and retracted back into the wall. The small compartment with the shower supplies sealed back up. No later after that, another hidden compartment on the adjacent wall in the same corner opened up. Sliding out a thin slab with a neatly folded white towel. Then underneath the towel, was a fresh pair of neatly folded white clothes identical to the ones she was already wearing.
Upon her last inspection to the other side of the room. Lily spotted a sliding door at the front of the room. She went towards it, expecting it to automatically open for her, but it didn't. 'Locked. She was locked in this room with nowhere to escape.' She heard rustling coming from one side of the room.
"Hey is someone in there?" Came an unknown voice.
She noticed a small slither of a rectangular window in one of the walls. It couldn't have been more than five and a half feet off the ground. In which, that's highly unusual for a cell. Since many if any cell windows were much higher up to the ceilings, where inmates can't reach them.
In this window a face appeared. "Been a while since this room's been occupied. But in a way, it be nice to have someone to talk to again."
The face and voice belonged to a young man; No, a boy, barely even considered old enough to be a man. He couldn't have been older than sixteen. She went to the window to get answers. More specifically why are they here and who is behind all this?'
But instead the first thing she asked. "Are you being kept here too?"
He nodded. "Yeah, my party was caught just South outside of Passiah. They let the older members and young children go. But took a lot of the young men and women with them. And well, here I am. How about you? Where they get you from?"
"A friend and myself were traveling North. We stopped at a Spring not far from the road to relax. On the way back to our hover car, these men came out and ambushed us. I don't recall much because they shot me with some kind of dart. I blacked out after a few minutes. Last I saw, they shot a net over Frieza." She said.
'Frieza, I hope he's alright. At least I know he's still alive. Because if he weren't I wouldn't be standing here. I'd be dead along with him.'
"By the way my name is Xander, Xander McGinnis. I'd shake your hand but these small windows would make it awkward." He lightly joked.
She couldn't help but smile at the small display of humor. "I'm Liliana Sayers, but everyone calls me Lily."
"Well, nice to meet you Lily. Let me be the first to welcome you to Allerdain Labs. Or what we simply just call; Underground Hell." He replied.
"Why is it they brought us here? What are they doing here and what do they want?" Lily asked him.
He shrugs. "They are doing what everyone can only wish they themselves can do. Find a way to combat and kill the demons. To send them back to the Underworld. Make our world a better place again."
Lily furrowed her brow. "But how? The demons are immortal. No mortals can kill them or drive them back."
"That's what they are trying to discover here. I don't mean to scare you. But you would find out either way. They have been using humans and aliens as test subjects. Testing their durability and pumping them full of man-made serums to give them inhuman speed, strength, and endurance." He paused and bit his lip.
"The only thing is, the ones they tested the serum on so far. Well, rumors by other inmates state that they saw them die not long after receiving a dose of this super serum. The deaths range from some developing massive seizures and dying, and to heart's just stopping. A few even obtained some sort of supernatural powers. But their bodies weren't built to handle such power and they too ended up dying." Xander added.
At this point, Lily's face was as white as the walls around her. "Do you know if anyone was released or found a way to escape at least?"
His face was grim. "No, whoever tried failed miserably. Those are the ones who get a one way ticket straight to the labs. Where they are prepped for the procedure and never seen again shortly after that."
"These men, they are hurting all these innocent people in a nefarious and desperate attempt to rid the world of demons?" She asked in shocked.
He nods. "And I'm not saying there's much of a difference because people are people regardless of life choices. But when they first started their trials it was on criminals they took from county prisons. Then poor people off the street they knew nobody would miss if they disappeared. It's only when the supply of criminals and poor people went dry. They switched to attacking parties on the road and sneaking around safely barricaded cities at night. Plucking innocent civilians just out for a stroll."
After he finished a slot by the door slid out. "That means it's dinner time. Go grab some food. We'll talk later." Then he was out of sight away from the window.
Lily trudged her way to the slot. It had a plate of food, with a small bottle of water sitting next to it on top of an oval metallic tray. As soon as Lily took the tray, the slot retracted back into the wall. Then she went over to the corner the cot was hidden. It slid back out and she sat on it with her tray in her lap. But she was too scared and anxious to eat. She ended up just picking at her food. All she could do at the moment is sit and wait for Frieza to find her...if he can find her.
She roughly shakes her head. 'No, He. Will. Find. Her.' They have never failed each other yet. He has always looked out for her, especially during dangerous times. Plus, she done the same for him. 'Calm down Lily, all you can do is wait. Even if by some miracle you were able to escape where would you go? This place is underground and even if you made it topside they were probably out in the middle of god knows where.' Yep, she was currently screwed, so she will sit and wait in hopes Frieza can find her and get her out.
Poor Lily, in trouble yet again. All she can hope is Frieza get's there before it's too late. Next chapter will shoot back to Frieza and his dilemma on tracking down Lily. Until Next Time ;)
