Chapter 15

Rissa was, once again, tied to a chair behind a two-way mirror, the same as she had been for the last four days … or was it years? Every day, they would get her out of the small, hospital-style room, tie her to a chair behind a mirror, and parade people through the other room, so she could tell them which ones were Other and which ones were human. Not once had she alerted them to the existence of an Other. Sure, there were plenty of Others who walked through that room, but Rissa never ratted them out.

After every wave of people had left the room, she was electro-shocked within an inch of her life. Not recognizing the presence of an Other also meant that she would not get any food or water. She couldn’t care less. Going without water was getting harder every day, but there was no way in hell she would give those Others to these monsters.

So far, the only Others she noticed working here were a couple of Trolls and a Siren. The Trolls couldn’t sense what Others were, so they couldn’t help these people. The Siren was kept muzzled, because if the beauty opened her mouth, they would believe anything she said. Most people couldn’t even look at a Siren for more than a few seconds, before throwing themselves at her and forgetting that anyone else in the world existed. So, the Siren couldn’t help them discover Others either.

The chair she was bound to would soon electrocute her—from her upper back, all way down to her ankles. The chair itself was made of metal, and the whole damn thing would shock her wherever her skin came into contact with it. It hurt like hell … bastards.

Rissa’s body rippled with shocks and drool fell out of her mouth. She slurped the saliva back into her mouth and swallowed it, to retain all the moisture she could, and let her head hang down to her chest. She could feel herself weakening.

They told her that she would never leave here. She could either agree to help them and have some semblance of a life, or she could fight them and end up dying in agony. Rissa had spit at the guy who explained these options, and said, “Agony all the way, baby.” She was beginning to regret her choice, as the pain of the shocking was getting worse daily. She wondered if they let the humans go free once they were cleared as non-Others.

What her captors didn’t know, was that she had their patterns down to a science. The night shift was lazy, ignoring protocol that she was sure higher-ups had set in place. They liked to eat and gossip until they fell asleep.

They weren’t worried about her after they would strap her to the bed inside the hospital-looking room. During the day, they would give her a brief break from being electrocuted and hang her upside-down over a large, dark pool. In all her years working with Others, she had never seen anything like the creature that lived in those waters.
