Mal Meets the Rebel

Mal's Pov:

Pain..I'm in so much pain...It feels like I'm on fire. My insides. My head. My brain. Everything. The pain is so intense. I feel like my blood is boiling.

I can't see anything. I try to look up, but there's a blinding white light shining down into my eyes, but I can hear Mike, and his other demented personalities screaming in pain as well.

I try to move, but I can't, I am restrained. I can't even move my head an inch.

I can feel my heartbeat in my head, its so loud it drains out the other voices in the background. The ones that are not Mike or the other four, but I can hear them moving closer towards us now.

The footsteps are so loud, they sound like they're dragging glass across the floor. The sound alone is painful on my ears. I can't take much more of it. Then I hear their voices. They sound like fuzzy noises in my eardrums, but then they grow louder.

"Quick!...Max, get the syringe! He's waking up! Quick!...Now!" A voice shouted, frantically nearby which was followed by running and crashing noises.

"Good. This should keep him neutralized until the medical fluid from this packet kicks in." The same voice says.

I suddenly feel a sharp prickly feeling in my arm, and the next moment I'm not sure what happened...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Oh, God!...We're gonna lose him!...Quick grab him!...Stop fooling around, and get him already!", the same voice shouted in panic.

"I've got him! Now what!...", the second voice said, holding me down.

"Whatever you do, don't let him get up!", the first voice says nearby.

"Trust me, I won't!", replied the second one, still holding me in place.

"This should fix his, and Mike's problem permanently!...Don't let him go or we'll have more problems than we already have...Max put the lab on lockdown just in case of an escape! " The first voice replied, as she moves in closer, and jabs me with another needle.

"Yes, ma!" Max says as a matter of factly, as he races off.

The needle pierced my skin the second time, and the pain from this shot was even ten times worse than the last. I screamed so loud and hard, my lungs gave out right as I pass out from the pain.

"Mal...Mal...Mal, wake up!"

I hear a faint voice calling my name from somewhere close by...

"Mal!...Mal!...Wake up, Mal!"

I jumped with a start, and slowly open my eyes and looked around me. Red was shaking me, and everyone was dead quiet just staring back at me like a doe stuck in the headlights. I immediately snatched my arm back from Red, and growl, "Don't touch me, princess!...I thought we established that, or do I need to-,"

"No, you don't. I get the picture, but you just gave everyone quite a scare just now!...And I told you not to call me that if my memory serves me right." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

I was still irritated with my past memory from my dream, that I didn't have the time or patience to do with her or anyone else for that matter. I got up out of my chair, and shoved her aside which caused her to shriek, and almost fall over, but I didn't care. All I knew is that I had to get out of there, and now.

More is yet to come in the next chapters that will follow. ;)
