My eyes started to open, my
vision was very blurry. Where was I, what was I doing here?
The last thing I remembered
was...nothing. I sat up a little too fast only to get a head spin
and have to lie down again. Someone in a white coat came over next to
me.
"How do you feel?" they said
"Um..dizzy, cold" I replied
"trying to shield my eyes from the lights and his little torch"
"Stay still I need to examine
you" the stranger said
He shone the torch in my eyes,
checked my ears, checked my pulse, all the things any normal doctor
would do that I could think of.
"Are you hungry?" he said
"No" I thought for a second
"I am very thirsty though"
He taped the IV with his pen
"This will take care of that,
now who are you and where are you from?"
"I don't know and I have no
idea" I replied trying to remember
"That could be a problem" He
said looking at the monitors I could see around the bed "Your
neurological signs are all normal, in fact you are the healthiest
person we have had in yet, which is very strange as you were frozen
the longest"
"I was what?" I asked shocked
"You were frozen; it was a
prison for bad vampires who pissed off anyone higher up the food
chain than themselves, they could be frozen therefore evading some of
the newer stupid laws, like not being able to kill your childe, or
your sire. You could just freeze them and send them here"
"So who did I piss off?"
"We don't know, you were not
filed or labelled." He said writing stuff on his chart
"So is everyone in this prison
filed?"
"Yes" he said matter of
faculty
"Except me?"
"I wouldn't have told you
otherwise if I didn't mean it" he walked away I lifted my head to
see him go over to a desk and pick a phone set.
"Jane Doe is ready to go to her
cell" he put the phone down again and came over to me with two
black plastic looking things. I watched as he strapped one on to each
of my legs. He put his hand on my shin and looked at me.
"If you do anything stupid
these bracelets will take off one ankle, if you continue then the
other comes off, one you are deemed fit for the arena you will also
get one around your neck, and of you decide to disobey your head will
be removed and you will indeed be very dead." He turned away from
me.
"Can't you do dna test or
something to find out who I am?" I asked
"Why?"
"Well wouldn't it be better
for us to know?"
"Look I've done my job, I
unfroze you and made sure you were ok, I do not care if you are the
queen of America or some low life from a sub-Antarctic circle, I have
done my job." He said looking at his computer.
"Can you at least tell me why I
was unfrozen if you don't know who I am?"
"I unfroze you because that's
what my boss told me to do" he said not even looking up "You will
be feed and looked after so that you can fight in the arena, if you
lose you will be healed and returned, if you win you will get
bonus's. If you win enough you get to go in the death fights where
you win or you die, I doubt you'll get that far"
"And I am a vampire?" I asked
"All the frozen are vampires,
staked and frozen till their release date, well that's how it used
to be" he turned to me "Now we unfreeze whoever the boss wants
and send them healthy to a cell where they will one by one go up
against each other in fights till the strongest kill each other and
the winner is freed."
"That doesn't sound right"
"I know but I am just the guy
who defrosts your asses and accesses wither you can fight or not, you
are good to go." He stood up and motioned for someone behind me
"Wait, can I get a better
handle than Jane doe?"
"Not my department sorry, ask
your guard he might be nice and ask someone higher up." He waved us
away and the bed I was on moved backwards.
I tried sitting up and seeing who
was behind me only to have a huge hand push me back down and a gruff
voice said "Stay down till I tell you otherwise please"
We went through corridors that
looked like a hospital, then through some huge steel doors to a
corridor that looked like a prison past cells with all sorts of
interesting people and animals, none of them made any noise, they all
just watched as I was pushed past. The bed came to a sudden stop.
The Guard
took the I.V off the hook on the bed. "When this is done I will get
you another" he helped me off the bed and to another bed in my
cell, he hooked the IV on a hook above my bed.
"Stay and rest" and he walked
out.
