After Dr. Merin put away the first aid kit, he turns back to me and pick me up. My legs straddle his waist as he rest me on his hip while his arm holds my waist then he walks towards the door carrying me. We headed towards the H.S. area which is a room full of children like me and wearing the same clothes as I do.
We soon approached the door that was filled with signs and warnings and letters but I still don't know how to read it. "H.S. (Authorized Person Only); NO ENTRY".
Dr. Merin opens the door and enter. I look around, seeing the familiar faces of my batchmates with their disheveled and dirty appearances which were no difference as mine. He then puts me down along with the others. He leans forward, his face was inches from mine and his gaze was digging into mine as I look at him meekly.
He points a finger at me. "Stay here and don't try to run away again," he said and something in his tone was threatening which intimidates me. I nod meekly. He hums as he catches my response before he withdraw his finger. "I'll be in my lab office," he said then he straighten up, gazing around the other children before he turn his back and left.
A girl around my age walks up to me and taps my shoulder lightly. I turn around curiously then saw Sivnia.
"Where did you went, Oane?" She asks in a hushed tone as she leans closer to my ear. I could see the curiosity in her eyes and the worry and fear deep inside. I put a finger on my pursed lips briefly and swiftly as if it's something only both of us understand.
Sivnia catches my hint then her lips starts to pout. She grabs my shoulders as I look at her glistening eyes welling up with tears. "You said you're not going anywhere without me."
I stare at her, feeling a pang of guilt. I bring my hand to one of hers and press it on my shoulder. "I'm sorry."
"What if something happens to you and I'm not there?"
"Well, atleast you're not involved."
"Oane, you're the only one I'm friend with among the others."
I look away, feeling a pang of guilt and remorse washing over me.
"Take me with you, okay?" Sivnia said. I nod in response. I return my gaze back at her as she pulls her patient's gown and wipe out her tears.
We stick together as usual, our little fingers intertwined tightly as we stood there in the room along with the other children. We were all quiet but only disturbed by the shuffling of clothes, footsteps and the clanging of metal tools inside of another room. We all share the same faces of anxiousness as the scientist calls out our names alphabetically one by one inside the room.
"Next, Claid Missonere... " announced the scientist. The boy walks in nervously and hesitantly as his name got called out.
I grip on Sivnia's hand tightly and I whisper. "I'm scared...". She replied in a whisper as she mirrors my grip. "Me too..."
The door closed and everything what was happening inside can't be heard outside where we are. It's been how many minutes we, children, standing there waiting anxiously for our turns.
Several moments had already passed the door opens and the scientist calls out the next. "Oane Misuage." Her eyes scans the children before her gaze lands on me. She gestures me to come over. "Come on, darling. You're next."
My eyes flicker nervously at Sivnia beside me and she gave me an equal look. I hesitantly let go of her hand and leave her side as I slowly make my way towards the scientist. She extended her hand for me and I reluctantly raise my hand and put it on hers as she leads me inside.
She lets go of my hand and walk back towards the door to close it tightly and secured after she leads me towards the other scientists who are seriously busy.
My eyes peek through the strands my disheveled hair on my face as I look at the scientists. Their faces were already familiar to me but I don't see Dr. Merin around. I just remembered what he told me he'll be in his lab office.
"Sir, Wilkie... Oane is here." Dr. Shyirr informed another scientist of my presence.
"Get her prepared. Put her in bed already." Dr. Wilkie said, his voice neutral yet firm. Dr. Shyirr nodded then she picks me up and carry me towards the patient's bed.
"Stay still, okay? This will take a while when you comply." She lays me on the bed and I did what she said. Despite my fear and nervousness, I stay still as a couple of other scientists starts to attatch this on my skin like stickers but connected with thin wires. Then Dr. Wilkie walks up to the bed and stands beside it as he looks down at me, his eyes were assessing if everything was set up.
I don't know where this is going and what was going on. "Close your eyes" Dr. Walkie said. I close my eyes tightly.
"Not so tensed, darling." I heard Dr. Shyirr's voice said it. I slowly relax but keeping my eyes close. I wanted to complain. I want to disobey. I don't like here and I don't know what is going on. Why is it so cold in here? Why are clothes only like this? What are they doing to us? Why are we here?
I can hear their movements around with the equipment. I can see behind my eyelids a bright light and before I knew it, a sudden jolt course through my body from those stickers they put on me causing me to scream.
I jerk on the bed, my body was tensed and my hands scratching desperately to take off those things they have attached to my skin. It was painful. It was vibrating through my whole body in a way that I can't describe and it was awful.
I felt a hand on my eyes to keep them closed and hands holding down my arms and legs to keep me from jerking further more. I scream loudly from the pain, my voice screeching. This feels like eternity and my body starts to get weary but the jolts send through my body was consistent. After which feels like forever, the sensation stops but the pain lingers in my body. Out of tiredness, I immediately passed out.
