Chereads / Immortal Troubles / Chapter 2 - Before The Surface

Chapter 2 - Before The Surface

I once was a rare female magician of a Crafter Class who got sold to the government for experimental trial serums because my physical condition was at the peak of the female anatomy.

So there shouldn't be that many drawbacks, plus I had no family that would miss me, no friends to know if I disappeared…

Though my comrades were told that I got overwhelmed in a breach that was orchestrated by the government to cover up the missing personnel….

I wasn't the only one they took as they needed guinea pigs for other stuff as well. None I was particularly fond of but we did work in sync when fighting.

No words were ever spoken between us, just different intakes of air or huffs and puffs in the midst of battle and we'd miss each other by inches like dancing without touching for hours on end!

I do not know what became of those males for what they did to me needed to be kept a secret from even the higher-ups who were in charge of the secret base!

Deep under the compound of this odd prison where White Coats prowl around with inhuman looks in their eyes as they decide what inhuman thing to try next crossed their minds!

But I... I was on the Do Not Alter List!

With injections that made me vomit to injections that made my body feel like it was on fire or was going to explode, they put me in a Mirror Room so I could verify what was happening to my body.

On some occasions I wasn't allowed to wear my only gown to the majority of the tests, the feeling of the hungry gazes on the other end of the Mirrors never ended.

The tests slowly became odder and odder from just sicknesses to muscle tightening to primordial fire from within!

My cries always landed on deaf ears as my body unnaturally craved attention as it burned with rage under my skin! I soon got used to the feeling after being afraid of them making me mate with horny male beasts both wild and man made…. I walk through their hallway to get to this chamber and those massively large seven foot tall beasts are not ashamed of what dangles between their legs!

My hearing has heightened by now…. How long have I been down here?? I've been through Eighty-seven fevers, Thirty-six vomiting, One-hundred and Fifty-eight primordial trials, and Seven Muscle strengthenings.

What lay on the other side of the glass? Who has been watching me pleasure myself to get rid of the never ending fire to the point where the floor has been soaked after each testing session that lasts forever! When have the males stopped being in the same room? When have they disappeared from the hallways?

I hear multiple heavy breathing on the other ends of the Mirrors in every session but their breathing is always different…. But all end up panting and moaning at some point of my testing!

Today is different… Whatever day it is…There was no personnel for the past ten sessions, it's just been the aerosol pumped through the vents to my sleeping cage, then the door opens and only the doors that lead to my Mirror Room are unlocked…. I've tried all the other doors before... to no avail! And the sessions of potency have become longer and longer over the time of the missing escorts of White Coats.

Today the aerosol smelled like strawberries, the hallway that was usually blinding bright was dimmed down to where it didn't make me flinch to open my eyes, the cages on the way were empty, and there is a being inside my Mirror Room before I even reached the door!

The fire that I was used to started to tingle in places as I tried to walk straight, the door opened up by itself and the room was dark even for me!

Panting like a hungry starved beast in heat head towards the middle of the room like usual, the silence of breathing of those behind the Mirrors made me pause in confusion before I reached the center….

There were multiple breaths inside my room and were slowly getting closer in rhythm to my panting to overlap so I wouldn't hear them….

Trying to resist the urge as I tried to look around for the sources of the breathing, they noticed I noticed them and they all let out a sigh of relief before stepping loudly in rhythm towards me as I started to back up slowly towards one silent corner.

A male voice sounded from in front of me soft and sad, "How Long?"

Confusion hit me on what he was asking, how long for what? Since I've spoken? Since I've had any physical touch besides myself? Since I've been down here? Since I've properly eaten a meal? Since the last time I used my magic effectively? Since the last time my body showed any signs of aging? Since the last time I physically ate anything?

My mouth parted and I croaked in a whisper which made them flinch and pause in their steps for a second, I struggled as my throat itches and cracked,

"H…ho…ow…how? C…caa…n…can? Y…ou…h…er…here?"

Multiple sad sighs echoed around the room as they realized how long it's been via how bad my voice sounded.

"O…her..s?" I tried again with a hint of sadness as a faint hope of rescue flickered in my heart.

The same man spoke again softly like speaking to a frightened child, "What do you mean by Others?"

My throat reached its limit for speech and I coughed haggardly dropping to the floor as my body shook, gasping for air and whimpering in the new pain that stoked the calm fires within, I pointed to each of the walls as I gasped, "Where?"

The fires crept throughout my body slowly as I tried to hold them back!

A female mechanical voice echoed, from multiple directions, all around the room and even behind me,

[Warning!

Multiple clicks occured as they donned on their masks.

The last click was dangerously close to my back as I struggled to stand back up. A large gloved hand slid behind my arms and my legs as I tried to balance on my feet before standing.

As if it was the most difficult thing ever to do which was usually super simple but the fire raged in places and made it difficult to do so since I've yet to appease the raging fire like I normally do!

Startled by the sudden longed for touch of someone else, a moan like no other escaped my lips as my body went limp and dropped to the floor!

Expecting to hit the floor I was puzzled by the sudden air flow on my back as I was lifted up faster than I fell. Shivering in the new temporary sensation as the gloved hand was connected to an armored arm…

Connected to an armored man as he slid his arm behind me cradling my weight and leaning me against his armored chest as his other arm went under my knees and his hand went close to the other one by my butt.

I shivered as the new sensations pounded throughout my body and had offsetted the raging fires quicker than I ever could!

He just held me still like a statue as my breathing quickened and hitched a few times until my breathing stabilized, only then did he dare to make a move and started to walk me back the way I had come.

Sadness visibly overtook me as I believed he was taking me back to my cage…. I buried my face into his armored chest as tears flowed down my cheeks and soft sobs hitched in my throat as my chest tightened.

I had dared to have hoped for a rescue in such a long, long time that this must be a nightmare….

How long has it been since I've dreamt of others not of this place? Once he puts me back in my cage I'll probably wake up.... I don't want to wake up from this!

As the one who held her walked first, so the others were out of sight, saw her tears and the slight burrowing of a scared person he scanned the area and noticed that the door to her room was close by.

With a curt nod of his head two personnel dashed forward to check the conditions of her living space as he passed by with her wet eyes closed tightly!

Nothing was there except a single bed, if it could be called a bed! More like a large version of an old fashion military cot!

No crumbs of food or water could be found! No means to feed or monitor her could be found in the room!

The two had been recording the whole thing since they entered the ancient compound!

How she was still alive still baffled them! As well as the unknown power source that was still active in this Sector and this Sector alone!

As they reached a closed door the armored person holding her gently lifted a foot and kicked it off its hinges! The way they had come was through the air ducts and with a package in hand, the way they had came was not an option, so they had to traverse the underground hive-like compound to get out!

But first must find something for her to wear or at least to cover her up from the blizzard that was raging outside!

Walking through empty hallways lined with dried bloody claw marks along the metal floor, ceiling, and walls made them on edge as their sensors had picked up clusters of life forms and on their way down they had heard their monstrous cries and barks…

Yet with her in hand, not a single creature popped its head about or came near them…

More like they hid in fear and avoided them in a wide berth perimeter!

When they reached any offices they would stop and access the records on file before moving on.

She had fallen asleep after they had passed the first door from her room and they wondered out loud how long it's been since she got proper rest as many of them read through the files that were gather to find out that each of her 'Test Sessions' lasted a single Year each time with little rest, akin to a single week, in between Sessions! They also got information on the other Experimental Projects but they prioritized her information above all else!

The different levels as they ascended showed more or less signs of living arrangements like nests or clusters of the creature's native to this ancient Lab as the power was out for 98% of the facility and the doors to each Level were easily opened by a single kick.

As they passed the nests many eyes showed in the dark with fear and curiosity at the now opened passageways into different domains!

Unaware of the creature's movements that were nowhere near them they continued as they neared the surface the temperature dropped and they bundled her up in all the fabrics that they had snatched up along the way!

Now holding a burrito bundle he tightened his grip so he wouldn't lose her to the howling frigid wind outside!
