“Hello?” I said out loud.
In the middle of the room was a chair—much like the one I’d been tested in earlier. It sat empty and seemed all the more sinister for that reason.
Bright lights illuminated the oval-shaped room from above, the ceiling far too high for me to reach.
There were no windows.
I got to my feet a little unsteadily and leaned against the wall to ensure I didn’t pitch over onto my ass.
The wall.
It shifted. It was the only thing I noticed that changed about this room.
The wall.
I moved around it as much by my hands as with my feet, until I reached the front wall.
Front wall?
Is that what it was?
Yes, I thought. The front wall of the entire accursed room. As I moved, the empty patch of wall shifted my perspective, revealing the scientists working in the lab on the other side.
I was still in the laboratory, I realized. I’d just been shunted into a separate room.
Another prison.
I banged on the invisible wall and hollered to get the attention of the people outside.
There, I made out Junic.
“Junic!” I yelled. “In here! I’m in here!”
She continued with her work as if she couldn’t hear me.
She’d been there with me when Dr. Liok jabbed me with the needle and knocked me out…
Except he had his hands firmly on my arms pinning me in place.
He couldn’t have been the one to inject me. It had to be one of the others. The only one close enough to administer it was Junic.
But why?
The answer was simple when I passed it before the eye of my mind.
They did this to me after they discovered the truth about my pregnancy.
For what purpose?
I shut my eyes and tried to figure it out. It couldn’t be that difficult…
And yet, I couldn’t piece it together at all. My mind was still fuzzy with angry thoughts.
I collapsed in a heap on the floor, the effects of the drug that’d been shot into my system without my permission still having an effect on me.
I was a prisoner—nothing new there—but this time, it felt different.
I was pregnant and I was a prisoner.
