Your In Trouble

[October Cursay]

A blinding white light lit her eyelids, burning her blue eyes and sending a shock brought her body. She squeezed her eyes together, hoping to block out the lights that plagued her. It seemed she could see again. As if in answer, a small beep came into hearing range, it grew louder as she came to from her recent bout of unconsciousness. She whimpered, it hurt her eyes as she dared to take a peek. She heard loud footsteps and a slamming noise. Scared, she cringed, her eyes opening wide to greet masked faces. None of them were familiar and it scared her greatly to even be in the same enclosure with such monsters.
One of the masked people held up a silver tool, it was long and sharp at the end, she let out a screech, her eyes firing up with bright fear. She knew what that was all too well. Her screams seemed to bring the strangers further into excitement as they drive the sharp needle into her exposed arm. She opened her mouth to scream out but found she could not speak. Her breath became ragged and she strained to pull herself free. Small cuffs locked her to a cold table, feet and hands as if she was a frog on a dissection table.
October was who she was. A girl of no real remembrance long or short term, but she was stable enough to remember some things.
Her white hair was sprawled out in dirty locks speckled in dark blood. She had cuts all up her arm and torso. Pain seared through her arms, agonizing to her. This was too much, she being driven off the doing board, force to dive head first Ito insanity if this carried on much longer. Tears perked and ran down her parchment skin, leaving a cleaner stripe down her dirty cheek.
Someone help me...

[Lily Gray]

A lady walked into the room October was in. She really hated herself for being here, but she couldn't leave now. She was carrying a bucket of water and a cloth. The water was soapy and warm and the cloth was soft. The other people here were cold and heartless and she wasn't all that fond of people, but she knew that the people here must be going through hell and she was going to try to make them feel somewhat better. A mask covered her facial featurs to keep anybody from knowing who she really was.

The lady's name was Lily. She only worked here because she had to. If it was up to her she'd be painting right now. Under her breath she hummed as she dipped the sponge into the warm water. Lily gently touched October's arm. She sighed as she looked over the scars on them. She then ran the sponge along her arm. "Hello there. How are you feeling?" Lily asked gently. She put the sponge back into the bucket and locked the door. Then she unlocked the restraints so that October could move around. "I'm hère to givr you a bath, but I locked the door so don't think about trying to escape.

[October Cursay]

She flinched at the warm touch of the sponge against her searing skin. The water washed away a good proportion of the blood, leaving only slightly red stripes across her arms. The pale skin upturned, the restraints left small red marks from her resistance and struggling.
Her closed eyes opened slightly, a pale blue peeking through at a woman, older than her. She spoke to her, but October knew that her answer would never become. She could not speak, only words she knew well, like 'hi', small words. So, she remained silent, her gaze watchful as she glanced at the door, no use trying for it. The place was undoubtedly rigged with security. And in her place? She'd collapse before she made it into the hall.
She focused her attention back to the woman, she was an unfamiliar face, hopefully a kinder one than the 'doctor' as she had learned they called it, or the other subordinates.

[Lily Gray]

Lily didn't know that October couldn't talk. She just assumed that she was ignoring her because of the fact that Lily was keeping her here. Lily shrugged and continued humming. She picked up the bucket again and ran the sponge over her other arm. She looked for a pattern in the way the scars on her arms were. She didn't really see one, but she liked to think she did. "Close your eyes." She told October as she finished cleaning her other arm.

Lily took the cloth that she had brought along and wet it. She gently ran it over the girl's face. She wished that this lab didn't exist. She was sure that it was against some laws to do this to people, then again this was Nova city, nobody really cared. "Would you tell me your name?" Lily asked. She was just trying to make small talk, but she wasn't really good at it. Lily lifted the cloth and rinsed it in te water.

[October Cursay]

She still felt pretty wary, but the voice made her close her eyes, just as the lady wanted. The gentle abrasiveness of the rag against her face was quite soothing, unlike the sponge to her arms. It was like those times where someone held her face and told her things that she liked, things that made her feel good. A 'pep talk' or something. She understood words, but could not speak them.
October knew her name, but could not speak it. She simple made her head lopsided, peeking out form the rag at the lady's pale yellow eyes. They both had white hair, which October found oddly reassuring. "Ootoor." Is what came out of her mouth. Again, her speech was very poor.

[Lily Gray]

When the girl told Lily her name Lily frowned. Was she not able to speak properly? How strange. Lily finished washing October's face. "That's a pretty name." She said, trying to be friendly. Lily smiled at the girl. She really wanted to let this girl go, but that would most likely get Lily herself experimented on, and she didn't want that. Lily dropped both the sponge and the cloth in the bucket of water and picked it up. "It was nice meeting you October." She stated as she moved to unlock the door and leave.

[October Cursay]

October's face lit up like a firework, she understood her! She was deleted by this fact and shook wih excitement. The only other person who understood her was Alec, she missed him. Even if he didn't talk either, it was just nice to be able to be with someone without them causing you bodily harm.
So, when Lily stood up and walked to the door, it came as an involuntary movement to rush over and tug on her sleeve. "No!" She squeaked. That was a simple word she also knew. She pulled slightly on her sleeve, a worried frown on her lips.
She didn't want to be left alone to more experimenting, she was already sore enough.
"No!" She repeated pulling still. From behind a one way mirror, one of the 'bad people' saw what was happening and took it as misbehavior. He pulled a small switch and electricity went through her, causing her to fall down and call out in pain.

[Lily Gray]

Lily felt the tug on her sleeve and smiled. She wasn't mad at October, but more confused. She didn't really understand why October would want her to stay, but she would comply if it made her happy. As Lily turned to sit down again she felt a small shock where October held her then noticed that she was being shocked. Lily knew about the people watching and as she dropped down next to October Lily yelled, "Stop!" She hated when they did this kind of stuff. Experimenting on humans was one thing, but shocking them? Terrible.Lily hugged October. She didn't know why. She just felt like October needed to be comforted and a hug seemed comforting. Lily sighed. She

[October Cursay]

She squirmed underneath the embrace but hugged back with little complaint. She was always being hurt like that, a little shock was nothing, it scared her more than anything. Another thing.... October wasn't human. She had matter manipulation powers. It was a unique sort of ability that allowed her to melt, freeze, or make objects into a gas. She could manipulate objects to her own will, but using such powers took a lot of her energy that she didn't have.
The scientist didn't care about her, just her powers. She ducked her head, her blue eyes looking at the lady with a soft look. Life was a real problem sometimes.
