I laid in the bed, the soft red satin sheets felt cool on my skin. I didn't want to go downstairs yet to meet Ramious and the physician. Something was off by the way he said it, but it wasn't even that. Whenever Bolton called us to our physician appointments it meant we were going to get injected with the serum or we were going to serve for some kind of test. Whatever it was, it was always painful. Century after century, it never eased.
The serum was like fire, it burned our veins, only for a moment but sometimes on a bad day that moment lasted for hours. No more testing, no more needles, its what I told myself when I left the order. I didn't want to see any white walls again!
A small throb began at the base of my head and it crept up slowly to my temples. "Tegan, come down"
