Iep, standing in this room of gray in a rather hostile manner, had her eyes fixed upon the door to her front side, waiting for the moment it opened to start with a smack and follow up to kick the crap out of whomever might step in ...
Her memories of what apparently happened were hazy already, the only thing the lass managed to remember being the smeary ball of a man and his assault upon her.
So, was she now trapped in his basement on some farm far into the plains?
Judging by her current surroundings, this could have very well been the case but Iep did not have the time to be thinking in this very moment because ...
With a sudden flash, seemingly thousands of lights lit themselves without warning, revealing a room which pretty much screamed to be of a psychiatric ward or some sort of laboratory, the only thing breaking a pale grey being a sink and a sofa in the far back of the small cell.
Now, Iep turned away from the side the door was on, her eyes still strained by the light which reflected off the walls, though in vain, for her ears took in the heavy sound of a door slammed into a concrete wall and quick determined steps torwards her direction whose owners quickly laid hand upon her arms and legs to restrain the poor girl ...
Three pairs ....
A whole three pairs dragged her out roughly, tears beginning to form in the corner of each of Ieps' eyes when the thought of what was to come struck her as sudden as one might be hit by lightning, the redheads' revelation only adding desperation to the fire that would be her struggle .... In vain.
A fourth person must have come from behind as suddenly a rough cotton bag was pulled over her head, taking any way of possibly seeing where she went from her.
The definetly ravenous animal wich was Iep, desperate to set herself free, had any freedom stolen from her, the sudden stabbing pain that formed on her arm, the spot where lower and upper arm were joined, stopped as quickly as it arrived, leaving behind the feeling that something was now strapped to her arm, an object wich surely caused her high amounts of discomfort and brought back memories of hospitals and how she hated intravenous infusions ...
This must have also been one of these ....
Afterall, her eyes suddenly grew heavy and a sluggishness emanated her entire small being, the last thing accompanying it being numbness and in the end, ... Sleep.
"Jesus ... How i hate this girl, always fighting like this...," a man wearing the clothes of a physician said whilst his hands dropped off Ieps' limp, sleeping body to comb the thick fingers through his shiny, greased and black hair in a more than just reliefed manner whilst simply walking along his three quite similiarily clothed companions.
"Indeed...The guards can suck a dick, telling us to get her ourselves because of the CHANCE we can spot some stupid change... ," the second would say and toss a now used up syringe to the side like it was some sort of burnt up smoke.
Looking at things... In this hallway, the walls made up entirely of somewhat messy looking concrete and the ground neatly tiled, there was a whole bunch of syringes on the floor, most of them stacked on a pile like our beloved researcher here was doing his thing on every possible occurence to be found here ... Ieps' arm was not littered with little prickmarks for no reason ...
None of that mattered though, for the third of him pushed a door in, opening it quite noisily and letting the sound travel through what probably seemed to be the whole building, only to close it very quietly when his band of research buddies entered the room,
Describing it briefly would be indeed quite simple!
It was ... Clean, it's walls made out of the same dull concrete with a pint of white paint applied to them and the flooring this tame made of wooden planks, the only furnishing being three desks with quite mighty looking computers and screens on them, the latter probably being something like two meters wide, though could this assumption only be confirmed if one were to bring a long ruler the next visit, this question was a big mystery to the crew afterall!
After ... most likely half of the rooms space from the door to the middle, one would be greeted by a ... gigantic sheet of glass with thin metal pillars running through it ... Reinforced by that one could say and by the sheer width of this wall, afterall the space behind it was small, pretty much entirely taken up by some funky looking machinery hooked up to a bed with a seat next to it ... Vents littered the walls in this little sideroom aswell as countless little lightbulbs just like in the room Iep had to stay in, most likely their means of blinding her again, just like it happend earlier too!

Well, continuing further into the room and taking their seats at their respective desks and starting to hammer their keyboards to type quickly, the door to the more secured room suddenly opened , an alarm following it till the heavy duty blastdoor came to a stop to allow passage to a brawny looking man who carried Iep and placed her on the bed which was littered with all kinds of weird techs, her face fixated to stare at a screen.
"Alright guys... Time to load up the train accident in which noone will help but rather hinder her ...Hopefully we'll have some results today regarding the goop, eh?"
The door closed, screens flashing up brightly in the chamber to broadcast video footage of Iep sitting in a train with quite the happy expression on her face, three girls in her company who all seemed to be in quite the good mood, throwing jokes and silly names around alike!
Now ... The scene could not stay positive for too long ... The research they conducted afterall had to do with the black goop and if they could summon it by pushing a child into a sea of negativity and because of that reason, one of the laborants' pressed a button and the train quickly slid off the tracks and into the nearest car, one that transported gas in rather massive amounts ... Only to have it blow up when the frame of a train managed to pierce the aluminium tank and strike sparks!
"I feel sorry for her..."
"Aye..."
The sparks quickly grew into a more massive ball of flame which quickly traveled to incinerate any living being it crossed paths with, leaving nothing but a trail of ashes behind it to signal that .... someone once stood and laughed in this spot.
Ofcourse, this caused hysteria in the simulation, preprogrammed ofcourse and many people alike would not even hestitate to either push or pull Iep out of their way to save themselves, leaving a girl in terror and confusion as to why everyone had to be such an asshole ...
It also did not take long until her small frame found itself laying underneath a part of roofing wich lost support and held the little redhead in place... It should have been easy ... Easy to lift the amounts of rubble on her back for strong people, wich ofcourse also ran like rats when confronted with fire, one even going asfar as to step onto her hand and break bone and bruise tissue, a painful expression forming on the Iep in this simulation and the one on that uncomfortable bed alike...
It also only took a short while, brief moments for the researchers to observe, that outside the screens, in their shady reality, handprints began to form all across the glass that separated them from the girl, a possible weapon of mass destruction should they one day reach their goal ... Which maybe they did today, afterall all three of them seemed rather thrilled at the reaction, the fourth though ... Well ... He was the unlucky one to be in the chamber and what occured at the moment surely had a displeasing effect on him, the features of his face twisting into that of terror with a pint of pain alike.
"HEY. LET ME OUT!"
Silence.
" I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!"
Just silence from the researchers sides...
All they did was press another button to set Iep on fire on the screens, in the simulation ... But suddenly, in the same moment her body struck flames, the before briefly visible handstains would spread further, covering the entire glass in black prints, out of wich small black creatures of humanoid shapes erupted into the chamber and surrounded the fourth brawny man, quickly tearing him to pieces, producing nightmarish screams from his throat in his reaction to the apparently unbearable pain that man lived through at the moment, though ... He quickly went silent again and the only thing to be heard was the smacking sound of many mouths and what sounded like crunching metal....
The cameras revealed Iep standing up, black slime flowing off her hair and hands, her expression blank ....
( Greetings, Flann here to say that this chapter was a bit rushed due to me just wanting to get over the prologue so i can finally start to write in a more personal to characters way rather than to ... let's say give some insight to the setting... So .... Uhm... See you at the next chapter and Woah, i have a follower!)
