My head felt dizzy as if I’d been spinning in circles, but when I opened my eyes I was in a room. A well-decorated room with cute but mature furniture, like the kind you’d find at an Ikea with names you couldn’t pronounce and complete with absurdly bright colored curtains and photos of a picture-perfect family on every wall.
I had no idea where I was.
Leaning in to look at one of the picture frames on the wall closest to me, I realized I was in Alicia’s room, and she was bolting the door shut. Propping a chair up beneath the latch.
“Oh my god, oh my god. I can’t believe what we just saw!” Alicia gasped, resting on the edge of her bed as she wrung her hands together nervously, her hair twisting like snakes around her shoulders. Looking around I realized that Alicia’s room, unlike mine, only had one bed. Lucky, she got an entire room to herself.
“Really? How about what we just heard... I mean, they are using us as test subjects. Why would they do that, Alicia?” I asked, my chest thumped again. That couldn’t be right. I shouldn’t be able to feel that. I pressed a hand to my chest and coughed, maybe it was indigestion?
Alicia floated over to me, hovering inches in front of my face, “We can’t breathe a word of this to anyone!” she wheezed, “We were lucky Ms. Walker didn’t see us, but you know the Professor won’t let this go. I can’t get into trouble again. What am I going to do? Fuck, I knew I should have just stayed in my room. This is your fault!”
I threw my hands up, “Wait, how is this my fault?”
Alicia glared at me, her face had grown ugly, and her smile was so wide I could see all her teeth. They were pointed triangles that gnashed together noisily as she growled. With hair that writhed through the air and eyes glowing hideously, she snarled. Her fingers had twisted in cruel-looking claws. She was going full hag on me, and that wasn’t something I wanted to deal with.
Hand up in the air, I tried to calm her down, “Alicia, just calm the hell down, okay? I’m in just as much trouble as you, remember?” I said.
“I won’t let anything happen to you, okay?” I continued, “We’re in this together. Look, I know we aren’t... friends. But I don’t hate you. And I won’t let them hurt you,” I said, pressing my lips together and dropped my hands so she could see I meant no harm. And somehow, I knew I meant that. As annoying as she was, she’d never actually hurt me. Words stung sure, but they didn’t mean anything once you moved past them.
That seemed to calm Alicia down just a little, and her grinning visage wasn’t nearly as menacing as her hair ceased its lashing. Sighing, I sunk on the bed beside her as tears began to slide down her face. She
