The painâ¦it was a stabbing in my brain that I couldnât get rid of. For days it lingered, and any sense of relief was few and far between. Even sleeping, I awoke to the unbearable sensation. Whether it was from the numerous tests Iâd undergone or scans, I wasnât sure. Maybe none. Maybe all. Or perhaps it was from the serum theyâd pumped me with before each one. All I knew was that if it didnât stop soon, I was going to be sick or go crazy.
âYouâre not going to eat dinner, again?â
It took everything I had to crack my lids open. I took in the guard, waving my hand so that heâd go away. Even that took more strength than I felt I had.
âYou know, it should stop soon. Hang in there.â
âWait.â My voice was raspy, even hoarse as I cleared my throat to continue. âThis is normal? I donât remember this part.â
âYeah. Itâs a stupid question since youâre already aware enough to ask, but youâre going through the reprogramming cycle, right?â
âThatâs right. I want to go home to my Mistress.â
âLoyal. Even with your mind reversed back to normal. Sheâs lucky to have you. Most blank slates would be having a meltdown right now.â
Reversed? Would they?
I closed my eyes, holding my palm over to keep out any light that might seep through.
âHow many more days of this do I have to go through? When do I get to leave?â
The need to heave was there, but I repetitively swallowed, trying to push the compulsion down.
âThe headache usually lasts about two to three days. Then they start the reprogramming.â
âIâm on day five.â
âYour headache lasted days more than the others. Interesting. Iâm surprised you havenât been taken in yet to start the reprogramming anyway. It shouldnât be much longer now. When the pain stops, it happens pretty fast. You sure you donât want to try to eat? Iâve noticed that helped the others. It might be just what you need. I can come back a little later to get your tray.â
âI should try to get something down.â
âGood choice. Iâll see you after a while.â
The sound of the heavy metal door closing made me wince. My fingers spread as I peeked through them, standing to make my way to the tray. What was on my plate had me pausing. It reminded me ofâ¦hospital or cafeteria food. The realization had my eyes lifting and my hand dropping. For days Iâd been in so much pain, I couldnât even form a rational thought. But now with the guardâs words, I had little choice but to face the truth.
Slowly, I glanced around the room. Just the sight had panic edging in.
Meltdownâ¦yes.
Focus.
No, I didnât want to. My brain was trying to fight what was coming. Nothing was right, and everything was blurring together. My Mistressâ¦I wanted her. Butâ¦Mistress? Owner. The guardâs words repeated, and with it, the knowledge that he was indeed a guard. For what? A prison? No. I hadnât gotten in trouble, and convicts werenât bought and sold, but this sure resembled a prison.
