Chapter 2: Deep Violet Eyes
Regaining consciousness. Our young lost girl was trying to open her eyes slowly, allowing a ray of bright white light to hit her pupils which almost felt like a punch in the face. Recovering from the stinging sensation and blurry vision, she realized that she was laying on a bed staring directly at the fluorescent lighting of the ceiling. She then turned her head to the side and saw a white side table, so minimalistic it almost looked like a block. On top she found a glass of water and some viles containing some kind of liquid that is constantly changing color. She took a deep breath and tried to sit up. Slow and steady, only to see that she was completely naked. Quickly, she grabbed the blanket on the edge of the bed near her feet and covered herself. She looked around and saw nothing, no windows, no door, nothing. It's an empty room, besides for the bed and the side table with the liquids."Where am I?", she asked as if someone was in that room with her. Out of nowhere, a voice of a man was heard in the room, "Well little missy, you are inside a white room. But if you want to know where exactly are you located, like, geographically. . . Unfortunately, I can't tell you. They said I can't because that would be, like, breaking the rules. And apparently that is a bad thing. . .".
A part of the wall lit up and formed a door that slid to the side to make way for an incoming person. As he was making his way inside the room, our young lost girl became highly alert. She stared at him, observed where his arms and hands are placed, searching if he was holding something dangerous. He seemed clean, except for that disturbing smile on his face. Fair complexion, slim, unruly charcoal hair that almost reached his nose where a pair of thin framed glasses are resting. Light was bouncing off his glasses hiding his eyes.
"You are finally awake! I'm so glad you're not dead. So glad!", he said with extreme excitement. He leaned forward, his hands on his hips and his face leveled hers. She finally saw his eyes. His eyes, she thought was black at first, but under the flourescent she learned that they were a deep violet. Very unique. She was lost in thought, almost drowned in his gaze, when suddenly he said,
"I bet you're hungry Mia. Let's go get something to eat. Don't worry, my treat!"
"Mia?"
"Okay, fine. That's not your real name. But who cares, you don't even remember anything. . .so, shall we?!"
Our young lost girl was stunned. Her chest felt like it was being crushed which made it hard for her to breathe. And her mind scrambled, trying to gather any information about her and her life. She tried so hard to remember but nothing's coming up. The only memory she can summon in her mind is when the old lady gave her the card. The card. . .the portal. . . his violet eyes. She buried her face in her palms, and she almost started to cry But she managed to hold back her tears. "What is going on?. . .Why mmhh. . .", she managed to let those words slip out her mouth but she was so weak that it almost sounded like a whisper.
"Well, basically it was decided that you were the best candidate to undergo a series of tests for our little project. Isn't it amazing? I think it's amazing. I am honored to treat you, little miss best candidate, to lunch.", he said enthusiastically. He reached for her hands and pulled her up making her let go of the blanket, exposing her naked body. She panicked inside and felt embarrassed. She tried to pull her hands off of his grasp so she can pick up the blanket but his grip was too tight. She looked at his eyes and noticed that he did not seem to care about how naked she was.
"Let me get dressed first before you start dragging me out to places ", she said with a hint of anger.
"Well, we don't actually have girl clothes available as of the moment. . .Hmmm, this wasn't very well thought out. . .", And so he removed his lab coat and held it up. "Here, this should work.", She turned to her back, slid her arms in the sleeves, and buttoned it down.
"Thanks, I guess",
"You are most welcome. . .Shall we, Mia?",
He placed his left hand in front of his lower torso, suggesting that she was to put her arms around and cling on to his arms. Without thinking, she found herself doing just that. She felt stupid and mad at herself. She wanted to let go but it was too late, they were already on their way out of the room.
