Unknown's P.O.V:
I walked across the room feeling like no one saw me. This was great. I loved blending in. After all, I should be. I looked at all the males around me feeling no different. I was a male right? I should be okay. But I wasn't. Two eyes pierced my soul and I felt my soul leave my body.
"Wake up"
I looked at him confused. Wake up?
I felt hands on my body as I woke up with a start. I looked around the room and realized I couldn't move. I was chained to a table with cables and wires surrounding me. Where was I?
"I see you finally woke up. I was starting to think we had killed you." I thought I heard the person mumble something along the lines of "wouldn't be the first one we've accidentally killed". Before I could even question what I thought I heard the voice was called to another place.
I tried to lift my arm and a series of flashing red lights went off around me. I closed my eyes hoping this was a dream but sadly when I opened my eyes I saw two blue orbs and a few locks of blonde hair above me, staring intently.
"Who are you? Where am I?" I ask trying to lift my head off the table. It was then and only then that I realized I was wearing a collar. The more alert I became the more I realized I didn't like what I saw. What I felt.
"Calm down handsome. I've been personally taking good care of you. You will make us a lot of money Darmian (Pronounced Dar- Me-on)." she stroked my face gently and I suddenly felt calm. What the heck?
"That's not my name." I struggled to talk as I felt my mouth close on its own, my voice becoming muffled.
"Shhh, it's going to be okay Darmian. Sleep now." She touched my forehead and my eyes closed. Suddenly my body went stiff. No dream appeared. Instead I laid there waiting for someone to wake me up again. How did I get here?
--------------------------
I woke up and suddenly I could move and speak. I felt like Pinocchio. I'm a real boy now. I looked around and realized the restraints were still there, just a lot looser. I sat up on the table watching everyone move around me. I was behind glass. Nobody else was surrounded by glass so why was I?
I heard a loud beep to my right and I looked towards the sound. The girl next to me flatlined. I saw one doctor glance her way and do nothing, continuing her work in silence. Everyone continued doing what they were doing letting the girl die.
I wanted to speak up but the same blonde female from before glanced at me. One look and I knew it was a warning. As if to say "that could be you and it still can if you don't shut up". I didn't know where I was but I knew that I didn't want to die here either. I'd bide my time till I could leave here. Wherever here is.
She walked over to me and I felt myself stiffen. The thought of her touching me in any way scared me. Why was I afraid? I didn't know other than that I felt as though I should be. She emitted a type of power unmatched and I noticed she was head command. No one dared to speak to her unless spoken to first yet they conversed amongst themselves with no problem.
I heard the door open as I watched closely. She grabbed a needle and looked at me smiling. It wasn't a nice smile. Something about it seemed very evil.
"Are you going to hurt me?" I asked. She laughed and ignored my look. She shoved the needle in my arm and yet I felt nothing.
" Seems as though it's a bit late for that plea" she stated injecting the strange liquid into my bloodstream. I waited to feel different but the feeling never came.
She then unchained me and told me to stand up. I complied to her commands.
She walked me through the lab introducing me to the workers as the name she had given me. I knew it wasn't my name but for some strange reason I couldn't remember what my actual name was. I liked the name though. But it's wrong and I shouldn't. I soon walked into a hallway. She had put in some codes and her handprint. After the door opened I was led up a flight of stairs and into a house. Actually house would be an understatement. I was sure it was a mansion. A very secluded mansion. Out the windows all that could be seen were mountains and trees. All the greenery around me made me realize that no one knew where I was. I knew there was no hope for me to escape. There was nowhere to run to.
"It's better if you don't space out and stare at absolutely nothing like that. It makes you look stupid. I didn't create an idiot." She said waiting for me to come to my senses and follow her up another fight of stairs.
She led me to the room and it was a nice suite. I was starting to think all the rooms in this place looked like this. I sat on the bed.
"Did I tell you that you could sit?" she said, eying me, her arms crossed.
I got up immediately, staring at the floor as I couldn't make myself meet her menacing eyes.
" Look at me when I address you Darmian." my eyes met hers and I felt myself cower away a little.
" You will stay in this room and you will not come out unless you are personally with me. You will not speak unless spoken to. You will eat when food is given to you. You will bathe only when you are informed you can. You will follow the rules and regulations of this house without argument. If you need a lesson on what happens when you don't, well, just think of that poor girl earlier."
She strolled around me in a circle. I felt her eyes looking at the back of my head.
"I really want you to succeed. Do not disappoint me. You may use the resources of this room. If you wish to request other things you must write them down and put them in this canister." She pointed to a tube in the wall that seemed to be connected to a pipe.
"It will be collected at the end of the week and will be sucked up this tube if you flick this switch right here. If it has been deemed that you earned it, it will be placed in a package and sent to you by me. This door will stay locked at all times. It will only be unlocked when I unlock it." she opened the door, turning towards me.
"Use your time wisely."
She closed the door behind her leaving me with my thoughts. I really wanted to shower and get the smell of the lab off me but then I remembered her warning. Sighing I lay on the bed drifting off to sleep.
----------------------------
Those same blue orbs hovered over me as I opened my eyes and for a second I thought that I was back in the lab. My heart slowed down a bit when I sat up seeing the door was open and that I was in the comfy bed I had fallen asleep on.
Once she realized I was awake she backed up, writing something down on the clipboard.
She turned briefly and I saw a picture of the vile she had injected me the day before, or hours before, or maybe even days ago. I had no sense of time as there was no clock in sight. I'd have to request one at the end of the week.
I looked at her waiting for her to speak to me so I could ask my questions. Hopefully she picked up on social cues as well as she picked up everything else.
"What do you want?" she asked reading something on the clipboard.
I thought about what I wanted to know. She may only allow me to ask one question.
"What happened to me?" I started to ask another question but I knew better than to ask another. That would only give her a reason to not answer either of them.
She looked at me thinking about how to answer and my heart dropped. I may never know how I got here or what's wrong with me.
"You died." she walked out the room and locked the door. As the click of her heels on the marble flooring faded I sat in shock. I died?
How, when...
I had died. Nobody would look for a dead person. Was everyone here resurrected from the dead?
How did she get the power that she has and at what cost?
