Hey guys! Sorry for the late updates recently, school has me busy and I barely have time for myself. Thank you guys for sticking around.
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." - Helen Keller
I groaned, my head lolling to the side when my eyes lazily opened. My arm was burning and my body felt like lead. Looking to my sides I noted that demons dressed in black were carrying me out of the dorm. I opened my mouth to say something but my mouth felt so dry, They drugged me.
One of the demons chuckled and glanced at me, his eyes shined in amusement. "Don't worry little one, Dr. Taishou will take good care of you." He smirked, revealing a full set of canines. My face paled and I began to struggle. The demons though seemed unaffected and merely laughed at my attempts.
"Fool, you cannot escape us. You are but a human!" The other cackled. I closed my eyes, I have to escape. I focused on the warmth inside me, pulling it out I directed it towards my hands.
Immediately my body fell to the floor and I began to crawl away. Their screams were deafening, but the last thing I would do is go back to that doctor! I pushed myself off the ground and stumbled onto my feet before jogging down the hall.
I collapsed onto the wall and growled, what the hell did they inject me with!? I kept following the hallway but that's when it led to a dead end. I cursed and lunged at the last door. I pulled it, but it didn't budge. I scowled and pulled harder, but the door refused to be parted. I looked beside the door and I noticed that there was a small scanner, I pulled out my card and scanned it.
The door made a noise, the color went from white to red and immediately started flashing. Alarms screamed around me and I panicked, I pulled the door once more put it still remained locked.
As soon as I turned around I was surrounded by demons, I gulped and backed up. When my back hit the door I knew I was trapped, the demons around me were doctors, soon another set of demons wearing all black emerged along with Kirara.
"A, calm down please..." She held up her hands and slowly made her ways towards me, "We won't hurt you, just step away from the door and these nice demons will help you okay?" Kirara motioned to the demons in black. I gulped, fear quickly settled in at the thought of that...doctor doing something to me.
"N-No...You can't make me stay here!" I shouted, Kikyo's words replayed themselves into my head and I shook them away. "I know that you erased our memories! I remember every experiment conducted on me! I don't have to be here anymore!" I lunged at one of the demons and they quickly moved away.
I kept running through the hole he had just made. But immediately something wrapped itself around my ankle, it burned me and I cried out as my body slammed onto the ground. My chin crashed onto the floor and I could taste blood in my mouth.
I rolled myself onto my back and I was shocked to see Dr. Taishou above me, his claws glowing green. I whimpered as the whip emerged from his claws again, encircling itself around him. "Dr. Taishou I-" Kirara began but he shot her a look that silenced her.
"Bring her back to the lab," He growled and Kirara bowed her head in submission. "H-Hai." She whispered. The men in black emerged from behind her and quickly grabbed my arms. I screamed and flailed around but it looked like it didn't affect them.
They carried me down unfamiliar halls, and by the time we stopped at two double doors I was tired from struggling, so I just went limp. We entered and immediately I recognized this as the room I met Dr. Taishou.
Shivers went down my spine but they slammed me on the table. The wind was knocked out of me and I struggled for breath. A guard revealed a needle and stabbed it into my arm and pressed the plunger.
I arched my back and cried out, my veins were on fire - and I felt my limbs become numb. They restrained my ankle. No! I will not pass out! I felt something pulse inside me and immediately the effects evaporated from my being.
With my other hand I punched a demon in the nose and he hissed. I kicked the other in the neck and he fell back grasping his throat. I quickly removed the restraint and leaped from the bed. The demons however were swift, one punched me on the stomach.
I doubled over and pain, the other took that moment to slam my body back on the table. "No!" I growled as they began to wrap the restraint around my ankle once more. One forced my head to the side while the other took another needle.
He jabbed it into my neck and my eyes watered at the pain. Once again my body felt like lead and my eyes felt heavy, my body went limp and they took the time to restrain both my ankles and were moving onto my arm.
"How did she resist one?" One asked as he wrapped the restraint around my arm. I groaned, the place where they stabbed the needle into me still ached. I could feel them tighten the straps and moved to my other arm. I felt something wet trail down my throat and down to the cool table beneath me.
"Stop..." I said through gritted teeth. I managed to punch one in the crouch and he doubled over with a yelp. I could feel my arm again so I ripped through the restraint on my arm and punched the other one in the temple, knocking him to the side.
I fumbled with my restraints till I was free and grabbed a metal knife beside me. The demons turned to me, their eyes red with rage. Focus! They can't keep you in here! I forced fear and the pain in my knuckles away, and with a battle cry - jabbed one of the demons in the eye and yanked the knife back out.
He cried out in terror and collapsed to the ground, the other grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the wall. I gasped, dropping the knife and scratching at his hands to let me go, I was swinging my legs but I couldn't reach him.
"I don't know how the fuck you resisted the tranquilizer..." He tightened his grip on my neck and I whimpered. "But you cannot escape me." He hissed. He squeezed relentlessly and my lungs began to burn painfully. Black invaded my vision and I felt myself slipping away.
But my body was beginning to feel numb. I don't have a choice just do it! I looked at the demon straight in the eye and focused on my hands.
His eyes widened in fear before he howled in agony. He let me go and leaped to the other side of the room while I collapsed onto the floor. I took a shaky breath of air and looked at him, his hands were burnt - the flesh and meat slipping off like water.
A man rushed in, his face impassive as he gazed upon the man screaming in agony. Then he looked at me and I felt all blood drain from my face. It was Dr. Taishou...my ankle began to sting in remembrance of him.
"S-She's a Miko! Kill her! She has revealed her powers!" He shrieked. I began to tremble, Kill me!? Is that why we are here? To find out about my power? I looked back at Dr. Taishou and saw him raise his claws, poison began to ooze from them.
"Display your power vermin." He commanded. All words died on my tongue and all I could do was stare at his claws. This was so stupid! He stepped forward but I recoiled myself under the examination table.
Like that would do anything... I watched his feet, planted onto the ground like they belonged there before he turned to the wailing demon. "Leave." Dr. Taishou said and the demon crawled away in silence.
Everyone is so afraid of him...I began to take even breaths in attempt to calm my beating heart. A clawed hand reached for me and encircled my leg. He yanked me out of my hiding spot with ease and in a second I was hanging off the ground.
Of course who could forget I was in my sleeping gown?
The cloth slipped off my legs and floated in front of my face. I opened my mouth in horror and I felt my face heat up. I tried to move my arms to cover myself but I was immediately slammed onto the table.
I groaned when I felt my back slap the table. He put on my restraints, I was paralyzed, his presence was suffocating and my voice had long vanished from my being.
He filled up a large needle with a blue liquid and forced my head to the side. On instinct I tried to force his hand away but mine were bound to my sides. "Reveal your powers," He growled and the tip of the needle dug itself into my skin.
I bit my lip, I would not scream, I will not give him the pleasure of knowing how much pain he was going to put me through. My eyes darted to his and I smirked, "W-What power?" I teased and his face finally moved.
He frowned.
He shoved the needle in further and immediately pressed the plunger. My blood turned into fire and blood streamed from my neck. I arched my back and screamed in agony, the pain was blinding.
My world was black but I could still feel, I couldn't hear anything but...static. My own voice was drowned out by this noise. I could feel liquid form in my mouth but everything else was engulfed in pain.
What was that noise?
My eyes felt like they were going to pop out of their sockets, my hands ached because I was squeezing them so tight. I continued to wither but that sound refused to leave my head.
Eventually, I blacked out...and I was almost relieved that I would return to that nightmare.
Leave a review and see you guys next time!
