A blue cat-like creature sits on the floor in her room. Her teddy bear and her brother all the only thing that keeps her company. The white tiles have been decorated with posters and photos. A slight improvement from the blandness that they were first welcomed to.
Emily: Ginner, are you okay? *Ginner looks at the bandages covering his stomach. *
Ginner: I'm okay. She didn't anything important. People can survive without their Liver and Pancreas.
Emily: But aren't those organs helpful?
Ginner: I guess. Dr. Alexa will accommodate.
Emily: Did she ever say why she took them?
Ginner: I didn't ask. She probably needed them for something important. *The door opens. *
Dr. Alexa: Hello, Ginner and Emily. Emily, I need to see you for a moment. *Dr. Alexa picks up Emily and carries her to a medical room. She's sat down onto a chair as Dr. Alexa brings out a canister. A needle is taken out of it. * Close your eyes.
Emily: What is that?
Dr. Alexa: We're just going to do another operation. We just need to put you to sleep so it won't hurt.
Emily: ok. *Emily closes her eyes. The needle is stabbed into her arm. After a few moments, she slowly loses consciousness. *
*It's been a few weeks since she was killed and turned into this. Since her blue fur has been turned pitch black. Since a third eye had appeared. She at least has her doll. It helps her when all of these monsters in the other cells make so much noise. *
"Did I do something wrong?
Was it something I said?
She wouldn't do this for no reason. She ...
Maybe it was when I ate the frog eye. Ginner was right about that being weird.
I hope he's okay.
He needs to be okay. " - Emily thinks.
*A noise grows closer to her cell. She moves to the corner of the room until she sees that its Dr. Alexa. *
Emily: ale-xx-a- ...
Dr. Alexa: Hello, Emily. I'm sure that you've been confused about what's been going on. Especially with all of these other creatures around you.
Emily: Is Ginner okay?
Dr. Alexa: He's fine.
Emily: Did I do something wrong?
Dr. Alexa: Why do you believe that?
Emily: I'm in a cell. You shot me with something. I did something to deserve this, right? I'll do anything. I don't want you to be mad at me.
Dr. Alexa: ... If you want to make it up to me, then would you be willing to cooperate some experiments?
*Emily is taken out of her cell and brought into a room. Dr. Alexa leaves and returns with the same weapon that was used on Emily before. Emily walks backwards. She stops herself, knowing that she needs to be calm. Dr. Alexa pulls the trigger. The gun charges and fires. A hole is pierced through her head. Despite that, she doesn't die. *
Emily: *gasp* .... I ... wh-
Dr. Alexa: shhh! ... Here. *Dr. Alexa hands Emily a pile of food and a small amount of water. She doesn't hesitate to eat food when it's been taken from her for so long. * If you cooperate like you did now, you'll be okay.
*It continues. Shredding. Decapitation. Lobotomy. Stabbing. Every injury heals after some time, even injuries that wouldn't heal normally. They leave no side effects. No brain injury or personality alterations in the case of the lobotomy. After a week of this, Emily makes a small request. "Can I talk to Ginner. " A month passes. *
*Again, a noise is heard. Dr. Alexa and - *
Emily: Ginner!
Ginner:
Emily: I missed you!
Ginner:
Emily: Ginner?
Ginner: What happened to you?
Emily: I don't know. Can we just-
Ginner: *He looks at Dr. Alexa. * What did you do?
Emily: GINNER! Stop! Please. I just wanted to talk to you.
Ginner: O-okay. What do you want to talk about?
*Every couple of experiments, Emily gets to talk to one of her friends. Usually, it's Ginner. Sometimes, Engel. Sometimes, Kevin. It's painful. But there's always the relief of talking to someone. Having someone who knows what's happening to you. *
