CHAPTER ONE

She sat there with a blank expression unlike her usual days “What - what’s wro - wrong?” I asked her careful not to say anything that would make her snap, she looked at me, her once dark warm eyes now blue without emotion and her red rosy hair turned brown. She looked just like him. Like the beast of a man.

“Daddy doesn’t want me anymore” She whispered and sniffed, I tensed up knowing that talking about him makes her break and turn into madness itself.

I dropped the subject deciding to look around the white plain room with only the dark grey metal table as the only color “Rose, can we kill daddy?” she asked and my heart dropped as I slowly faced her only to find her looking up to me hope swimming in her eyes.

I froze, not knowing what to say, just like him, she was a flip switch, one wrong move and blood spills “What?” I whispered as I averted my eyes elsewhere “You heard me, all he has caused you is pain! We should kill him!” she said bluntly as a sadistic smile caressing her lips, my eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat. What has gotten into her?

I felt cold, I did not know what to say, I slowly brought my eyes back to hers as she waited for me to talk; to give her the go, she knew I hated him more than anything and she once again knew I would kill him in a blink of an eye, but at what cost would that led me? Guilty as the beast with his blood on my hands.

I opened my mouth to answer her when a scream escaped from my lips as my abdomen burned, tears welled up in my eyes and my lips trembled as my vision started blurring drawing me back to the hush reality, tiny hands where placed on my cheek as Rose sadly smiled at me through her own tears “I will kill him and sent us free” she said as she vanished and the beast of a man appeared.

He was looking at my stomach that was throbbing and burning, today he was wearing bright colors unlike his usual self, and his hair was tied in a man bun. He smiled as he looked up to me for a second before going back to my stomach.

“My, my, my darling Rose. Today I was able to retrieve some organs from the labs for you; an indestructible stomach that can expand to the size of an entire chair and can withstand deadly acids, special intestines that can absorb even poison turning it into useful nutrients for your body, and I added some interesting venom in your bloodstream that tends to eat every cell in the body, but boy are you special my dearest, the venom merged with your cells” He gushed out as I felt myself being pierced and pulled.

He was sewing my stomach shut with a large needle and what seemed to be some type of thread which I couldn’t see due to my vision been fading in and out which did not go unnoticed by him “No sleeping Rose, you gotta watch daddy carefully now” he said smiling at me, even in my drowsy state I nodded my head afraid to refuse seeing that he could violently poke me with the needle in his hand.

I stayed quiet as he hummed, the water dripping from the ceiling was not helping with this scene, my breaths were rigid and short cut off by my moans of pain and grunts as he continued to sew my abdomen until he stopped and I let out a sigh thinking that I could finally close my eyes, but the sound of a cart wheel been dragged towards me make my eyes flutter open in panic.

I slowly lifted up my head and screamed as I came face to face with a grinder and weird machine parts on the cart, he laughed as he took slow torturing strides towards me “Don’t worry my little Rose, daddy won’t hurt you, well it will hurt, but when you see it from my perspective. You will see that this pain you are feeling will make you stronger than you could ever imagine, it will make you see that not everything is sunshine and flowers, that there some days when the sun won’t come out and the flowers are plucked out” he said.

The disc started spinning producing that loud screeching sound and my eyes widen as it grazed my skin teasing me until he finally added pressure making it slice my legs off and I screamed, like a banshee, like a widow. Like am burning in the never ending flames of hell. With a prayer in mind before I blacked out into nothing. Someone....help me. But no one did.

The first sound that greet my ears was of someone crying, no people crying, they sounded like everything was taken from them, like all hope is lost. It sounded so sad, yet why did I find it hilarious?

Footsteps, but not just any, they were his, the beast of a man. It was like water was splashed all over me and everything came crushing down that made my eyes flutter in shock and fear, white lights blinded my vision that I closed my eyes causing a him to chortle and whoever was crying to sob even louder.

“Wow…you woke up quicker than I anticipated little Rose, but that’s how you always are Rose, full of surprises,” he said and I felt his breath hit my face making me freeze “open your eyes Rose” he commanded and my breath hitched at how close he was, but I complied as I slowly opened my eyes to find him starring down at me with a smile.

“Please, please mis-mister, I -I want to go ho-home” a small voice pleaded making me frown as I looked to my left were two cages were placed, in them were kids who seemed to be around my age, a girl and a boy. I gasped as I noticed the large fresh scar on the boy’s face it was so big and it seemed whoever was cutting him was impatient and angry, blood licked down his chin and into his eyes.

I froze as realization came crashing down on me and I looked back at the man who smiled at me “You have been such a good girl lately Rose,” he started as he slowly circled the table I was strapped to” I wanted to get you something to show how happy you’ve made me with how much progress you’ve made,” he continued as he walked to the remote that pulled the table into a standing position “So I brought you some friends, to keep you company” he finished as he pressed the button.

The table started moving with a jolt making me yelp in pain, and I was soon facing him and the cages. Shock and pity displayed on my face as a million thoughts bombarded my mind.

What was he going to do to them?

Did he kidnap them or Did they come willingly like the others?

Why is he being so-

“Do you like them Rose?” he cut my thoughts and I slowly looked up towards him as he waited for my answer with a smile that dared me to defy him, I locked eyes with the girl who’s lips where trembling and eyes were bloodshot. If I refuse his gifts, who knows what would happen to them, I thought.

I nodded my head and I heard a sigh escaped his lips as he pinched the bridge of his noise ‘oh no! his angry’ I thought panicked as I remembered that he wanted words not gestures, and my thoughts were correct as the sound of a crack echoed before the throbbing started, the boy gasped and the girl screamed as blood flowed from my broken nose “words! I need words Rose!” he growled in my ear as his hand trembled from pain.

I opened my mouth to speak when my nose started burning like been shocked with electricity and I gasped for air which seemed to refuse to enter my body. Shock displayed on the man’s face as he looked at me, the boy and girl starred speechless, I felt like small electric shocks were dancing all over my body that I screamed which later turned to laughter. The crazy with laughter.

I came down from my high, I felt so sleepy, but in a good way, happiness buzzed through me and I had the craving to smash something “Remarkable” he mumbled as he starred me with a frown before he started walking around the small room grabbing document after document like he was looking for something until he screamed with glee as the wonderful feeling started disappearing like it wasn’t there.

“REMARKABLE! ROSE YOU ARE ONE IN A MILLION!” he screamed jumping up and down like a child finally getting a gift from Santa “I thought it wouldn’t work, but yet again you proved me wrong. The new bionic legs from Tech.net seemed to have contained Malien DNA which has fused with your cells that had fused with the venom hours before! This has never been heard before! The only way to have these gifts that these aliens have is by been born from one or two of them. Many scientists have tried for generations to turn humans to Malien by injecting their DNA into our bloodstreams, but these have been unsuccessful because the human body is not as acidic as the Malien making their DNA in our bodies burn our cells into nothing and we slowly disintegrate to ashes as their DNA burns us inside out” He stopped to catch his breath.

He licked his lips in excitement “But your cells seemed to have turned acidic with the venom and thereby creating a suitable environment for the Malien DNA to fuse with the cells. If I could just find out what blood type you are and inject the venom in a body together with Malien DNA, I could get everything back! The government will soon regret firing me and calling me a dreamer!” He exclaimed smiling as happy tears leaked from his grey eyes.

I was too shocked to say a word; he was truly a mad man. He gambled my life without knowing what was going to happen. But the question that seemed to linger in the air was “Who’s my next test subject?” he asked smirking at the two in the cages and my heart called out to them as I blacked out.
