The Test Subject

"The only person in this horrible world you have to fear is me" Miss Butts called out to the test subjects. Her stern eyes never left my face. The comment she had just made about my mother had defused any kind of anger I had left. Ashtons back was cut open in all different directions. The blood came gushing out like rain comes from the dark sky. My head was held in place by Harry, his hands were rougher than he used to be with me. His body wouldn't budge and he stood directly behind me.I remember I would always used to lean into his body and each time would remind me that everything would be okay as long as I believed. But now I want nothing more than to elbow Harry in the stomach for keeping me stuck in this hell hole while watching the boy I had befriend be tortured in a room filled with people. Miss Butts used her index finger to point at the test subjects. Her fingers were still bony and crooked.
Ashton had clenched his eyes closed. The man with the large whip arms were undoubtedly started to hurt as his movements had slowed down considerably. At least now Ashton was granted time to brace himself for the pain and the numbness that follows. I would occasionally glance at the floor around him. Blood was everywhere. From the whipping, little bits of blood splatter had flicked onto my grey clothes and my face. I would feel lit dripping down my cheek and onto the floor. I felt Harry's need to wipe it of but I knew he couldn't. If he had, he probably would be in Ashtons position right now. Miss Butts raised her palm, indicating to the guard to stop. The grey haired man nodded. His chest was raising and falling at a alarming rate. I could hear his heart thumping like a drum as if it was my own. It was if my senses have magnified. I could also see the little things like the tiny bit of sweat running down his abnormally large forehead, i could see the little floating dust in the air. Maybe I really was a horrible monster.
Miss Butts Heels clicked until they stopped right in front of me. Her large and skinny fingers wrapped around my jaw and tugged me about until I was looking directly into her eyes. I gave her a stern look. Harry unsure let go of my head. " I do hope you know what you are in for. The loneliness, the heartbreak, the sacrifice you will face as a woman with a dream on her own." Miss Butts said.
"You don't have any idea of what I'm capable of."
"Well, then, look at you, Subject One. Just remember if you look in the face of evil, evil's gonna look right back at you." Miss Butts said wickedly. My blue eyes never left hers as her hand let go of my jaw and began to walk away. "Bring her to my room" She called to any guard in the room."And take him to the Stew pit" she once again pointed at a unconscious Ashton. My stomach instantly dropped. Ashton would already be in excruciating pain, he didn't need the Stew pit. Two strong Guards took either side of Aston and lifted his body up. They weren't being careful at all "Be careful" I said harshly. Both of them looked to my direction and scoffed. They found in funny that i was telling them what too do while in the position i was in.. Perhaps I did to. I looked into the crowd and saw Daniel walking towards me. "you have a death wish" He lightly laughed. His eyes held no humor. He was just as shaken up as the rest of us. "I was protecting my friend" I defended myself. My breathing was trembling as i looked at the heaps of blood. "Friend or lover?" I raised my eyebrow at him. i couldn't find my voice. "im just saying Lily, Miss Butts isn't going to think you're just friends after that"
"let me worry about that" Daniel looked around to see if anyone was watching. "here... take this" a small blade was pressed into my palm. I gasped. "whats this for?" He actually laughed at my question. " I dont know Lily. Killing yourself, getting revenge" he shrugged "whatever comes first"
Harry had leaded me to Miss Butts room. I knew something was playing on his mind. The anger I had for him slowly disappeared. "you made me watch" I broke the silence. "you made me watch something that even the twisted of minds couldn't even contemplate" I spoke with venom in my voice. Tears filled my eyes. I guess I was more hurt that I had just thought. "Miss Butts told me to" His voice held sadness. His shoulders were lower than usual. Under his green eyes was just bags of blackness, obviously a lack of sleep was the cause. I remembered Harry telling me that he had been promoted to choosing the people that had to be experimented on. He must have a lot to handle right now. "Eight years ago my best friend made me a birthday cake. That night when she and I sat over my candle my birthday wish was plain and simple. I just wanted to be loved. Little did I know that every step that I would take since then would be one step further away from making that wish come true." Harry said looking directly at the floor. His hand gripped my wrist. " I have loved you since the first moment I set eyes on you. You were warm. You were kind, and you looked at me. You didn't flinch. Not even a bit. And in that moment, I felt like I could face anything with you by my side." my heart started to pound. "you told me love was evil" i gulped. His face was incredibly close to my own. "you're the only exception, Lily. The only one" Harry let out a breath. I pressed a sturdy hand to his chest. I began to shake my head. "Harry, I'm sorry" I touched his cheek softly. "I don't think of you in that way. I don't think I ever will"
Miss Butts had locked me securely into a chair opposite her desk. She continued to sign papers as I sat there watching her. She was taking her time to intimidate me. "If you're going to kill me, do it" Miss Butts scoffed while still signing papers. "Oh my dear,If I wanted you dead, you would be."
