(A/N: WARNING there are descriptions of child abuse in the chapter ;))
"D-Dr Swan!" both Charlie and his father exclaimed returning to their original postures whilst lowering there heads respectively.
"*cough* ahem captain West," a man in a long white lab coat stood facing Charlie and his father, scrutinising their childish behavior.
He continued with a stern, monotone voice as he took out a file he was carrying in his brown, leather briefcase,
"How are you then?"
"o-oh I'm go-" the man was cut short as the doctor peered into Ebony's cell demanding to know if the captain had done anything to 'subject ES261'.
"Why is it in that state I strictly ordered that the specimen was to not ne touched as to not interfere with my research! " the doctor yelled in an authoritve tone whilst pinching the top of his nose with his thumb and index fingers just above his metal framed glasses,
" *tut* typical. I should have known you uneducated brutes couldn't control your actions. Captain remember what we do here. We're not here to hunt like savages, we're here research the anatomy of supernatural beings and use that information to further the advancement of mankind! It has a more important objective than you getting to release your anger towards anything that isn't human!
Speechless the captain exhaled before nodding and leaving the corridor. Ebony could hear the footsteps fading into the distance as she dropped her imaginary popcorn onto the floor
'ohh and it was just getting to the good part too. Oh well whats this loony tune got to say for himself now'
"You," the doctor directed at Charlie who shockingly, was still standing in one piece after that standoff, "follow him"
Charlie glanced over at Ebony debating whether to leave or not. He saw her expressionless face as she lay lifeless on the bed with only her dulled eyes watching him that no longer had stars twinkling in the them anymore. Gulping he stood firm with his eyes clenched shut.
"Now!" the doctor shouted, his dirty blonde hair going static as his body shook in anger at the disobedient kid defying him, "I won't repeated myself leave... NOW!"
*SLAP*
Charlie held his cheek covering the blood spilling from where his cheekbone had been hit twice the second impact tearing his skin and leaving the surrounding areas swelling in a deep red color. Feeling the tears naturally building in his eyes he swalled his anger and glared back into the doctors eyes defiantly. Noticing the doctor continued his rant to his second victim, Ebony wondered why the kid was doing this when he could easily leave 'why would he stay? His actions... they' re making me... Conflicted'.
"May I remind you that as soon as you stop listening to orders your service here will be term.in.ated" the doctor spelt out bending forward in an attempt to threaten Charlie. Ebony watched as she saw him glance at her and then back at the doctor confused as to who he should side with.
"oiy you who's dressed up as a ghost, who were you calling a specimen before?" Ebony smirked driving the attention away from Charlie so he could get away without any backlash. Shocked at where the interruption had came from, the doctor stood up straight, fixing his glasses to look more respectable. Frowning at Ebony's remark he forgot about Charlie and began preparing his files while sitting down on a chair he pulled from around the corner of the cell. Noticing Ebony's diversion, Charlie smiled before running of silently along the corridor.
"Soooo who were you calling a specimen Mr. ghosty I hope it's not little old me by any chance hmm?" Ebony continued tormenting the doctor, while smirking at his furrowed brows he squished together in annoyance. She could hear him muttering that he hated kids under his breath not knowing that she would make it her mission to use and take advantage of any weakness he revealed.
"ES261 my name is not Mr. Ghosty it's Dr. Swan. Remember this and don't repeat the mistake again." he ordered which rubbed Ebony's wolf the wrong way resulting in Ebony purposefully being defiant toward this newly found ghost.
"Alllll right Dr. Ghosty. Got it! And my name isn't ES261 it's Eb-on-y Sn-ow. Remember it and don't repeat your mistake again doctor it's unbecoming of you" she taunted imitating his demanding tone. Ebony noticed he had clenched his jaw tightly while fisting his hands on the arms of the chair. Satisfied she dropped her head onto the mattress that lacked a cushion or two.
"I-impertinent who are you to tell meee what to do" he stuttered in frustration at her arrogance. 'what did he expect of a five year old kid anyway?' Ebony contemplated while twiddling her thumbs to pass the time.
Grunting she continued the copying game "I-i-immature who are you to tell meeeeeeee what to do" she said in her most childish voice exagerating his comments while fake pouting at him. Slamming his fists on the chair he gritted his teeth about to say something in response to her remarks but before he could Ebony patronizingly scolded him saying, "bad Ghosty don't go having a little temper tantrum all on your lonesome."
"YOU!" he boomed, reflexively standing up and stomping over to her cell pointing like he was sightseeing in a zoo. 'wow he really looks like a little child in a huff haha' she laughed subconsciously glad she pushed all the right buttons to make him this pissed. He squeezed something in the hand he had lowered by his waist, now smiling like a maniac.
"That's a scary face gho- Ahhhhh!" she screamed as a familiar shock ran through her body setting all her blood vessels aflame.
As she lay shaking on the bed frothing at the mouth she couldn't help but internally laugh as she heard, "th-that'll teach you. Y-you you brat!" he screamed psychotically while laughing like a hyena. 'It didn't take much to set him of huh and just after he was preaching about damaging the specimen. It is worth it though, to see that in my own way I'm negatively affecting the one's who have taken away my whole life...
... I will not stop until everyone of the people involved are rotting in hell. '
