Chp: 11 Captured.
Folvos's POV
I open my eyes and there is a human in my arms, blood over his throat. My ear is absolutely killing me and I can feel something dripping down from it as well. I reach up and feel something wet hit my paw. Bringing it down in front of my face I see some blood on my paws, my own blood. I am shocked at what happened, I've hurt people with my animal side before but never killed. I back away from the human and I back up into a tree. "I'm a monster." I say, forgetting that rose was there. "You had too, no one wants to kill." She kind of shocks me, I glance up at her and all that does is make me feel worse. In her eyes I can see a bit of horror and trepidation and I hope it wasn't because of him. "We should mov..." I feel a needle of pain in my leg and I see a needle sticking out the side of it. Another person in black is off to the side outside of Rose's vision and is aiming at Rose. "Folvos!" she screams when she sees the needle in my leg, not caring about what could've caused it. I try to move but it's as if my body is sluggish and almost unusable, I try to talk but only a slurry of words come out. I hear and see her scream out in pain as a needle hits her arm, the person in black walks over to us and she looks over him. I see a glint in her eye as hatred takes over before she passes out. He walks over to me and stares into my eyes as he says something to me "Night, Night." My vision goes black but those words stick with me, those two words.
I open my eyes and I am in a sterile white room on a metal bed. I look around trying to find Rose but I can't see her. I try to walk around but I find my legs feel... different, I glance down to find some patches of fur missing from them and numbers on my skin, 03. I walk around a little and notice that they had taken away my t-shirt which left me feeling a little exposed. This place was a little scary to be honest. Everything was white, metal or me. There were no seems, no paintings, no windows but light seemed to come from everywhere. Only the bed, and me were in the room by the looks of it. There was some rattling from one of the walls and then it started to move, instinctively I jumped away from it. I watch the wall move backwards and eventually I can smell some meat, Beef maybe? I look around but the wall is still moving, it has stopped rolling backwards and is now rolling sideways to reveal a single metal table with a plate of food on it. There is a bench next to it and some cutlery beside the plate that looks a little oddly shaped for my paws. Curiously I walk over to the edge of the white room and look around, this room has a light in the roof, unlike the other. I look to the table top again and I can see what looks like some beef with vegetables on another plate on the other side. Curiosity gets the better of me, as well as my stomach and I walk up to the table giving the food a once over. I can smell it through my nose and it doesn't smell like anything has been added to it, I grab the fork and gently prod the meat. "Eat up, you'll need all the energy you can." A voice booms around the chamber making me jump back from the food and flatten my ears. "For what?" I say not sure if I want to know the answer. I wait for a while but there isn't a reply so again I walk over to the meat, I bring the vegetables plate closer as well so I can eat them if I want. Gently I prod the meet with my fork again before stabbing it, my fork sinks through it with some of the juices pooling around the fork. I bring the knife up and cut the meat so I can smell it, it looks delicious, perfectly cooked but I'm still cautious. Gently I bring it up to my nose and sniff it trying to smell anything that doesn't seem right. It seems fine and my stomach decided at that moment to give off a loud growl re-enforcing how long it has been since it got food. I bring the beef up into my mouth and start to eat it all, not particularly caring for who was watching. After I had finished on the meat I started to eat some of the vegetables but I was a bit full from the meat so I couldn't finish it.
I just sat there for a while not sure what to do, the rooms I were in weren't exactly luxurious or roomy so there wasn't much I could do. I took to just glancing around the room and thinking. "Where is Rose?" I ask absent minded. "You mean subject 04?" Asks that same voice from before startling me, I take a second to think of the response "Purple leopard, a bit shorter than me." There isn't any reply and I start to drift back into my thoughts when the wall opposite my 'bedroom' starts moving, I don't think much of it until I can see the glass behind the walls. On the other side, lying in a bed is Rose, asleep I hope. "She's just sleeping right? You don't want to hurt her, then I have absolutely no..." The voice cuts me off. "Subject 04 is completely fine, we have not hurt her nor will we as long as you co-operate with us and our tests." I glance over roses sleeping form before I look back to where I think the voice is loudest. "What do you want me to do?"
A panel opens in Rose's room and I see a man with a mean looking gun enter her room. "We would like you to co-operate with our doctors." As the voice is speaking a door opens to the left of my 'bedroom.' The guard in Rose's room points the gun in her direction so I get the idea, raising my hands slowly I walk towards the doctors in lab coats and glance at them, they are all around my height, maybe a little taller, but all are just humans, none of those soldiers from before. I guess they figured out how much rose meant to me or just didn't value these doctors as much. All of the doctors had a clip board in their hand and some were taking notes, watching me out of the corner of their eyes. We were just walking for a few minutes when we turned into a small room, this one wasn't white like the rest of the walkways but it doesn't make me feel safer, if anything it makes me feel more anxious. In the centre of the room is a metallic looking robot. Imagine if someone took an armchair, striped it down to metal and put a half dome on an arm over the top. On the dome there are about 5 smaller claws like arms that reach down, hanging limply at the moment. A human, not in a lab coat but something like it just shorter, gasps lightly as I enter bringing a hand to her mouth, she looks over me and then turns around to tinker with a board full of different devices, turning a few dials and flicking switches. "This machine, The Veiled Dream, will show us what we want. Now if you would kindly sit like a good boy..." An older and more official looking person states with a deep rough voice as he walks in, motioning towards the chair and I look at it reluctantly, not really liking the tone of his voice. I hear a gun cocking and turn back to him to find him with a handgun in hand. "We don't have time for delays subject 03 so you may wish to hurry, and don't forget that it isn't just your life on the line." As he says those words a monitor folds down from the ceiling attached to some robotic arm. I glance at the display to find Rose still asleep with her 'guard' still in the room watching her. As I see her lying there I walk quickly over to the machine not knowing what to expect. I sit into the chair and it feels cold against my bare skin where they tattooed me. The girl who gasped walked over to me and started to pull some straps over my arms and legs, which doesn't help me to become any calmer. She reaches up to the head piece and she pulls it down so the little claws are just touching my forehead and I hear her say something off to the side before she walks off, "I'm sorry." She walks to the TV monitor and brings it up so I can clearly see what's on it before walking to the panel with the switches and putting her hand over a big green button. "What's the hold up? Start already!" The older one with the gun all but screams at her making her flinch, she glances at me before she pushed the button and searing pain goes through my head, directed at where the claws are touching my head. I see darkness creeping into my vision and I try to fight it, I keep my eyes open and I look into the monitor in front of my nose. I see Rose laying there, I keep fighting to stay awake but the darkness closes in. I thrash around in my constraints but eventually my body gives out and I black out.
