Chapter 27

Skye follows the nurse down a hallway. Her seven year old body clinging to whatever strength she had left. They lead her into a room that had four white walls, a white celling and a white floor. Skye looks in the corner and spots a camera. The nurse hooks Skye's fingers up to some machine, than attaches some wires to her temples, the sides pinching her.

Skye is left there and the nurse locks the door.

At first Skye just sits there board, but then the temperature begins to drop.

"Her body seems to be taking the reaction like a normal human." A scientist says. "But she's doing much better than our first subject. I think we may even be disposing of the other one soon."

"Well we're not 100% certain on either, but the numbers are moving towards Mary."

Skye had to sit in that room for seven hours, the room getting colder by the second. Her hospital gown provided little to no warmth.

Skye tries to rip away the machines from her temples and fingers, but whenever she touched them they zapped her. Each electric shock sent a ringing noise through her ears.

Skye tries to hug herself, but even that's useless. Skye bangs her head against the wall, hoping maybe she'll lose consciousness.

"Head…. So cold." Skye mumbles.

"Skye, you need to stay awake." Ward pats Skye's cheek trying to get her to stay awake. "Skye come on stay awake." Skye blinks.

She looks up seeing Ward above her. She wasn't there anymore, she was here with Ward. She was safe, in his arms.

"I'll try my best robot." She jokes. He moves his hand along her temple. Skye sees blood come back on his glove.

Skye felt so tired, she didn't want to stay awake, she wanted to sleep in Ward's safe arms. He begins going on about a story, but Skye couldn't focus, she wasn't able to. She was just so tired. She had to close her eyes.

Skye blinks again being back in that same bright room. She hugs her seven year old body. Skye looks at her skin, frost was appearing. Skye looks up at the mirror on the other side of the room. She could see her reflection, but Skye knew that the scientist were on the other side watching her, watching and waiting for her.

Skye closes her eyes, and the next time she wakes up she has an I.V in her arm, and she's back in the same room with Ciel. Skye looks at Ciel across from her; she had a cloth over her forehead.

"What's wrong with Ciel?" Skye asks the nurse. She didn't recognize this nurse.

The nurse turns around, a needle in hand. Skye squirms as the nurse pulls back the covers and reveals Skye's arm. The nurse injects the content and Skye feels herself falling deeper and deeper into sleep.

The next time Skye wakes up she's in the dark, with only the lights from the equipment monitoring them on. Skye hears Ciel breathing next to her.

"Ciel?"

"I heard you." Ciel says, quietly.

"Heard me?" Skye answers.

Ciel turns over on her bed, and even in the dark Skye could see her face. "When they put the gold liquid into your body."

That had been last week, why was Ciel bringing it up now?

"I heard you, and I wanted to save you." Skye could hear Ciel crying. "One of the doctors took me to the end of the hall; she said I should watch what they were doing to you. They said that you we're the more likely one." Skye hears Ciel's tears. "Mary I'm scared, I'm scared of what they're doing to us."

"We're sick aren't we?" Skye says, but questions.

"Mary, we aren't sick. The doctors are the ones making us sick." Ciel wipes her eyes on her pillow case. "Mary, we need to get out of here, we aren't safe here."

"You think we should leave?"

"No not leave Mary, escape. The doctors are keeping us prisoner." Skye frowns, still unsure what Ciel meant. "Mary, lately I haven't been taken the medicine they give me when we got to bed."

"You can do that?" The seven year old asks in amazement. "Because it tastes gross."

"Did you notice that when you take it, you never seem to dream at night?" Ciel says, continuing the conversation.

Seven year old Skye thinks back. "You know, you're right."

"They take away the dreams Ciel, they want to take away our hope of escape, our imagination." Skye hears Ciel cling to her sheets. "That's why we need to escape, before they can do something bad, before they can kill us Mary."

"Kill us?"

"The doctor who took me to watch you said one of us was going to leave; I think she meant that they'd kill one of us Mary." Skye pulls the covers off her bed. "We need to leave."

Skye pulls the I.V out of her arm and walks over to Ciel's bed. She goes under the covers. Skye felt how cold Ciel felt, and Skye presumed that they did the weird cold room thing the same way they'd done it to her.

Ciel had a point, why would they try freezing her if they were trying to get rid of cancer?

Skye hugs Ciel's body. She could still hear her crying. "Then we will, so no one has to die. I'm getting sick of this place anyway." Skye buries her head on Ciel's pillow. "Together will leave."

So sorry if the middle part is sort of confusing, but this is a vision of Skye's past, but Skye is imagining it while she's being carried by Ward. So hope that makes sense. Let me know your thoughts on this chapter with reviews please :D

No new episode of AoS tonight, but super excited for the mid-season finale :D
