Chapter Eight: More tests and experiments
Two weeks after the kidnapping
Tia had lost track of time; she didn't know how long she'd been held captive. Since the first time when she met Roman and the ominous voice on the speaker, they had left her alone. She had yet to figure out what they wanted her for, or how long they were going to keep her locked in the room. She'd been laying on the mattress for who knows how long when the door opened and Roman walked through, smoking a cigar as always.
"Hello again~," he said in his cheery tone, taking a puff of his cigar, "I have been ordered to take you to a proper bathroom, so you can clean yourself up, you're starting to smell, and after that Dr Aria has someone she'd like you to meet," as he spoke, swirls of smoke came out of his mouth.
Tia didn't say anything, she just stood and let Roman lead her to a bathroom. To be honest, she was thankful for the opportunity to have a shower, she didn't even care that she had to meet someone. Something that did peak her interest was the name that Roman had said…... Who was Dr Aria? Was she the voice from the speaker?
Fifteen minutes later, Tiana was showered, dressed, had her tail hidden and ready to go. She stood outside the bathroom door waiting for Roman to come back. While she waited she thought about who she was going to meet and if this person was a prisoner like her. Due to how nervous she was, she had started twirling her hair around her index finger.
Roman came strolling down the hallway about five minutes after Tiana had finished in the bathroom, twirling his cane and puffing away on his cigar, "Well you certainly clean up well~" he crooned, causing a cloud of smoke to fly into Tia's face.
Tia coughed, scrunching up her face as she fanned away the smoke with her hand, "Cut the crap Roman, who the hell am I meeting and who is doctor Aria?" She asked once she could breathe, crossing her arms over her chest, glaring defiantly at Roman.
The questions and glare earned her a smack over the back her head from Roman's cane, "Silence! You don't get to ask questions around here! Now shut up and move!" He yelled at her, pointing in the direction he wanted her to go with his cigar.
Tiana grumbled softly, rubbing her head as she started walking in the direction Roman pointed.
After walking down what felt endless corridors, they entered a room. In the room was a chair that looked like something you'd find in a dentist's office and a woman in a lab coat standing by it. The woman had a menacing-looking wolf sitting beside her.
"Hello Tiana, I am Dr Aria and I will be conducting the tests today," the woman said, her voice sickeningly sweet as she motioned for Tia to get into the 'dentist's chair' as she called it.
Tia reluctantly did as she was told, getting into the chair, shivering slightly as the cold from the plastic on the chair seeped into her skin, "Are you the voice from the speaker?" She asked cautiously, scared that she was gonna get smacked again.
Aria gave a small smile as she strapped Tiana to the chair, "that is correct," she responded before turning and walking away to gather equipment. The wolf stayed in the same spot it had been the entire time, watching Tia as if it thought she was going to escape.
A few minutes later, Dr Aria returned with a small metal tray on wheels, she shooed the wolf out of the way, then put the kart in its place, picking up a syringe full of a light blue fluid, "This may hurt a little," was all Aria said before plunging the needle into Tiana's arm.
Tiana let out a yelp in pain only to pass out a few minutes later. The last thing she saw was Dr Aria holding a scalpel above her face.
