Chapter 31

Skye is awake, she'd been awake for a few minutes but she refused to open her eyes.

She's scared to open her eyes.

She knows once she opens her eyes she has to face the reality, the clean smelling hospital sheets, the smell of anesthetic and cleaning properties. The bright light already making her squint even with her eyes closed. Skye knew this feeling all too well. She knew it was a nightmare, but somewhere deep in her mind the thought that this was real, that she had actually been taken back...

Skye breathes out, her eyes remaining closed. "Mary." A voice says. Skye couldn't live with being called that again. Skye had thrown away the name Mary-Sue, the moment she had seen Ciel, the moment she became an adult.

Because you know that you can't remain a child after seeing you're best and one and only friends dead.

"Skye." She hears again. This time she knows the voice is real, not an image.

Skye opens her eyes. She squints to the light. Skye frowns, still partly in shock as she sees Professor Raina over her. Skye rubs her eyes.

Maybe she really was at a hospital. Skye scrunches her shoulders, her body still numb from whatever drug had been put in her.

If she really was at a hospital why had Professor Raina called her Mary? Was that part of a dream?

Skye opens her eyes fully, blinking to adjust. She moves up, her back leaning against the bed frame. It looked like she was in a hospital room, but the door into the room was closed and there was no window showing the hallway, so Skye wasn't so sure. Raina stood beside the bed in a lab coat, she had a clipboard.

"Professor Raina?" Skye's mouth felt pasty. What had happened before this? "What, why…where?"

"Skye it's alright you're safe now." Raina explains.

Somehow Skye didn't believe her.

"I don't understand." Skye went to move her leg, but she realized that it was strapped to something. A picture of snow went in her mind.

Hadn't she been in the snow with Ward, hadn't they been skiing? Why was she here, hadn't Professor Raina gone with Simmons somewhere? Why was she here? And where was Ward?

"Ward, he was with me, is he here to?" Skye asks Raina.

Raina just smiles with her creepy smile. "I'm sorry Skye, but you don't need to worry about Ward or Shield at all anymore, now that you're here."

"Here?" Skye watches the door open from the side, two men in lab coats enter, with pocket protectors and glasses.

They weren't doctors, those were scientist.

Skye stops breathing, Skye stops breathing. She couldn't see clearly, she couldn't believe it, she couldn't. She refused, this was another nightmare this was another mind trick or memory, she couldn't be here, she couldn't.

"No." Skye says her mouth itchy from the pain and lack of oxygen. "No! This can't be." Skye struggles to get out of the bed, but Skye now realizes her hands are strapped to it. Skye struggles, but the scientist push her back on the bed. "NO!" Skye screams throwing a temper tantrum. "I'm not here, this is a dream!" Skye struggles, but as she feels the injection, she stops moving, she was just left to her thoughts.

This drug kept her awake, but even with her body limp, her tear ducks still were working.

"no….." Skye mutters to herself.

"Has the specimen recovered?" The scientist asks.

"Yes, she seems in good condition, but before you begin I'd like you to give her a few days to adjust and make sure she's in peak condition." Raina explains to the two men. "After all she's very special, and now that we have her she never has to leave until we unlock it."

Skye glares at Raina.

She should have known, she should have known. What she told her, what she told her back at the Academy, she told her fears and secrets. Raina knew, all along it was a part of her plan. Skye was all a part of her plan. Raina never even cared about her; she never once cared about Skye.

Skye should have known.

She should have realized Coulson would have told her if someone was instructed with her medical care. Yet Skye basically admitted to Raina personally that she was an 0-8-4.

Now she was suffering a consequence that she wasn't ready to take. In fact she couldn't dare, she couldn't dare be trapped here again. She needed to find a way out, whether alive or dead.

The young Skye sat in a corner of her room. It was blank, no colour but a dull white, no scent but that of chemicals, no nothing but boring atmosphere.

A woman walks in, but unlike the nurses Skye was so used to this one was wearing what looked like a military uniform. She had two guns fashioned at her side. Skye looks at them and instantly the thought to try and take them enters her mind.

The woman smirks upon entering, slamming the door.

"So Mary-Sue, what a fitting name for a troubled little brat." The woman mocks with an evil smirk. Her build was tall, and her hair had been cut back in a way that made her look more male than female. "A few days ago you tried to escape."

Skye doesn't look up or really respond to the woman at all. The woman grabs Skye's dark hair and yells in her ear. "I asked you a question." She throws Skye's limp body against the wall. "Now answer it."

Skye still doesn't answer, refusing to speak to any of the people who took Ciel's life away. To any one of these sick doctors who were going to pretend she was sick.

"I'm not here to play games girl." The woman shots, stomping her foot an inch away from Skye's body. "Running away is not tolerated, this is your home so there is nowhere for you to run." The woman kicks Skye against the wall, the impact knocking the breath out of her.

"I've been sent to condition you girl, and from now on when you disobey anyone here, there will be punishment." Skye doesn't look the woman in the eye as she gets on her hands and knees. "You can call me Lady Havoc."

The woman leaves, slamming the door.

Skye wasn't sure if the woman came or not, she was still in too much in shock from when she'd fount Ciel's body two days prior.

Gosh I'm still hung over the episode from Tuesday, man why did they have to leave us there!? It was such a good episode, I can't wait till MARCH! Might be starting up a fanfiction of what I think post mid-season finale will look like, but who knows.

Anyway going to be switching back between the past and present a bit. Review please :D
