A long chapter this time! Soz i took so long, school takes over though. We finally move up to the escape. Next chapter, the outside world again :D
The cellar was freezing. I had come to about an hour ago, and was trying to keep myself from going frosticle style. Then, I had a thought. I bent down, to the cords that bound my hands, and started chewing on the rope. It tasted disgusting, and it hurt my teeth, but it wasn't too thick to manage. It was taking painstakingly long, and my teeth started to bleed but I kept working, strand by strand. If I was going to be their test guineapig, I was going to have to start acting like one .
Once I had managed to gnaw through the tight cord, I shook it loose and got to work on the knots that bound my feet. I had sore, rough indents on my wrists where the rope once bound, but I was glad not to have to use my teeth anymore.
Just as I finished the last knot, I heard heavy, clunking footsteps coming from the stairs. I quickly wrapped the cord back around my wrists, trying to make it look like I was still tied up. When Gin entered the room, I shot him a glare. If looks could kill...
I snarled as he approached me. He grabbed me by the hair and pulled my face up close to his. "Have you been… behaving?" He asked dangerously. I coughed. "What's the problem, girl?" He demanded. "Sorry, it's just because some Mentally Twisted Eejit it breathing his stinking, foul, evil breath in my face!" I replied. He stared at me menacingly. "If I get any more of your attitude, I'll kill you now. But that would be a pity. Then I would have to find another test subject." He answered evilly.
"You do that. I couldn't care less. If I was dead, I wouldn't have to worry about some mentally twisted eejit with disgusting breath who happens to be standing right in front of me"
"That's it. I've had enough of you….."
I could see a reflection of myself in his eyes. I looked like a wild child, my long, brown shoulder-length hair was full of knots, and my face was pale.
"I have an idea. I will test our redeveloped drug on you. It might kill you, it might not. Although, it would be a shame if it killed you straight away, because then i wouldn't get to torture you before the final blow. You probably know that guinea-pigs don't live for very long...
"Would you quit it with the guinea-pig thing? Last time i checked, i wasn't a rodent."
"Why does it matter? "
He suddenly caught sight of the loose ends of the chord i was trying to hide.
"You naughty girl." he growled. He pulled a set of handcuffs and secured them around my wrists. Damn.
He dragged me up the steps and into another room. The wall was made of stone. He hung the handcuffs over a hook. I was stuck.
He took something out of his pocket.
"Behold, the reformed APTX4869," he said with a hint of amusement. His blood must be ice, i shivered.
Before i could blink, he shoved it down my throat. I started coughing, but it was no use. I had already swallowed.
"By the way, about what i said earlier. I lied. This will definitely kill you." he whispered as he left the room, not even bothering to close the door behind him, because i was chained.
I felt sick. My head was spinning, and my skin was burning like hell. It was like the worst migraine in history. My whole body was retching, but it couldn't get rid of the poison. Suddenly, my skin started burning hotter and hotter, It was a nightmare. Then i realized. I was shrinking. My wrists were shrinking, getting so small that the cuffs hung loosely around them. My hands slipped to the ground. The blood was pounding in my ears, I had to escape.
I stood up shakily, and ran for my life, tripping over my clothes every now and then. I traced out a map in my head. I ran along the passageways, to all the places i remembered passing, until i got to the first room. Now was th tricky part. I was unconscious up until i reached this room when i first entered the building. I licked my finger and stuck it in the air. A drought. I followed it carefully along the stone corridors. I luckily didn't encounter anyone.
I found the entrance. Some idiot had left the key in it. I thanked my lucky stars. I turned it and slipped outside, looking in both directions first. Then, I bolted.
I lent against a fence post in some random street. I sank to my knees. The pounding hadn't stopped. If anything, it had gotten worse. Maybe the shrinking was just a side affect. Maybe it was still going to kill me. Suddenly, a bursting pain erupted in my head, leaving me screaming and writhing on the pavement. "this is the end", i thought, "take a good look at the stars. This is the last time you will be able to see them. By tomorrow, you will be one of them."
Hope You Like! I will try and upload the next chapter as soon as possible! :D
