Hello, sorry all of these chapters a cooky, I'll try and make it less unorganized. ;)
Dr. Erland hadn't had a day where he hasn't thought about Crescent. He wished that he could have found his words to yell at the doctor, tackle the guard if his feet weren't frozen to the ground. But all his strength was gone when his ex-wife cast the child away like garbage. He wanted to yell at the woman for being so selfish and cruel, for throwing their child away like she was nothing. He wanted to hurt her with his words. He hated her. He wanted to go back to that moment and change everything. He would say Crescent's name over and over and over again. It never lost it's meaning. He would dream about her growing up. Just her and him, father and daughter against the world. He would lay awake in bed, imagining her in his arms, in his safety instead of Sybil's. Sybil-though no one knows for sure-was said to be abusive and yelled at helpless shells. This made him even more angry with the Shell System.
The doctor was in the break-room of the lab. Luna has finally made it to Earth. Her Highness wanted to go and take over the planet for years but they never got onto it without ever coming back. When they made it, the plague came too. Dr. Erland was to find a cure, he couldn't experiment on humans, that's what the Cyborg Draft is for. They would send Dr. Erland Cyborgs so he didn't kill the lives of humans. But, killing cyborgs was worse. They were thrown in his labs like his little Crescent was thrown out of his life. His work was hard but he would be fired and another doctor would be put in this place. A doctor who didn't care that he was killing living creatures. Dr. Erland was genital and made everything painless. He made sure of it.
Dr. Erland took a sip of his coffee. He heard someone step into the room and cocked his head to the side to see a Lunar guard with someone, whose hands were bound behind their back. A girl.
"We have another experiment for you, Doctor." The guard shoved the girl onto her knees for the doctor to see.
"Genital! She can't be broken and bruised, the tests will be inacurate. Get her off the ground." Dr. Erland-even though, injuries will cause the tests to be inaccurate-he didn't want the girl to be hurt.
The guard halled her up and walked out the room. The girl crawled into the corner of the room, frightened, hugging her knees to her chest. She had a few bruises, signifying she put on a good fight. Dr. Erland sat back down into his chair and took a sip of coffee. "There's no need to be frightened. I won't hurt you. I was putting on a show. I hate my job, killing all those people. But, they don't have to suffer the helplessness of people looking at them disgusted. I'm sorry." turned his head. She was young, healthy. She had dark skin, light brown hair pulled into braids. Her face softened just a little. "I had a daughter that was taken away. I can't help but think that you are exactly like her, being taken away from your family."
The girl only nodded.

Natalie has wanted to forget about the ugly shell child since she knew she was a shell. She wanted to forget the whole day and how her husband was so sad seeing the stupid thing go out the door. She saw the shell's hands and she planned on not seeing the brat at all. She wanted to throw up. She held it down, but it flew back up when her ex-husband said they should divorce. She stormed out of the room and into the ladies room and sure enough, her breakfast was flushed down the toilet.
Natalie sat up in bed from an uncomfortable push came from inside her stomach. She groaned.
"Honey?" Her husband sat up next to her. "Are you alright?" When Natalie finally got a job at a coffee shop, she met Jack. He would come order the same coffee everyday, and finally he asked if he could take her out to dinner. He trailed his hands down her back and up again.
They found out about her cancer a week ago and it was growing. It wasn't serious enough for her to have to stay in the hospital but they sent her home with pain killers.
Natalie nodded. "Yeah, I just, need some sleep." She laid back down and a moment later, she was out like a light.
