The Lab

Lysander sat on the pool side watching the water ripple as he put his feet in. Turning towards Olivia and Morgan he winced from the pain of remembering. "Hey guys, Did any of you have flashbacks of your past life?" Lysander continued, "Because I-i just had one happen a few seconds ago". With a hand full of water he gently ran his hand through his hair, shivering from the feeling of water hitting his scalp.

"Hey guys, did any of you have flashbacks of your past life? Because I...I just had one happen a few seconds ago."

Morgan turned towards Lysander, surprised that she wasn't alone. "I have," Morgan started awkwardly, "but I thought I was the only one. Do you think that these are real, or could the... those things... have planted them?" Morgan walked over to the pool and sat on the edge, dangling her feet in the water. The cold liquid ran down her legs as she stood back up, covered in goosebumps. The water felt almost... painful, like acid. Her illusion water had been warm and soothing, washing away pain and worry. What if the hallucinations were lab created too?

Morgan felt a tear run down her cheek as she realized that they were all just lab rats with no real value. The sterile white walls felt like bars, trapping the girl in a prison of danger, fear, and worry. She sat with her back against the wall, emotions flooding her for the first time since she'd left her room. "I don't like it here," Morgan said softly, mostly to herself. "Not at all."

"I don't like it here, Not at all'
hearing her say that made his heart ache he didn't know much about children younger than him but i didn't stop him from comforting her. Lysander awkwardly hugged her, and wiped the tear from her eye "It's ok at least we all have each other to depend on" he said loud enough for Olivia to hear as well. The pain from the memories hit him hard, tears started to form but before they could fall he blinked a few times. no i have to be strong for these girls but who was that girl in those memories?"

Olivia walked over to where Lysander and Morgan were when she heard Morgan crying.

"I don't like it here, not at all."

Olivia put a hand on Morgan's shoulder. "Me neither." she said, attempting to calm Morgan, "But at least none of us are alone." Olivia felt tears form and tried to blink them away, but one manged to fall. The shine on that single tear triggered a split second change in the room for her. She was standing in a field with a cabin behind her, her hand on a younger child's shoulder, but it wasn't Morgan. The vision child was crying and it appeared that Olivia was trying to comfort her. The flash faded as quickly as it came, before Olivia could see anything else. 'Who was that child?' she wondered to herself. She looked at Morgan. The child in her vision had been a little younger, probably about 11 or 12. She tucked Morgan's hair behind her ear. "It's alright." she said calmly.

"It's okay; at least we all have each other to depend on." Lysander gave her an awkward hug. Then, Olivia spoke as well. "Me neither. But at least none of us are alone. It's alright."

Morgan smiled up at her two comforters, still a little teary. "Thanks, guys. I'm glad that you're here for me." She turned to the pool and jumped in, noticing that the acid sensation was gone. To her surprise, she felt comfortable in the water and swam a few laps. "Come on in, guys!" She felt happy for the first time since arriving; genuine happiness. What did they put in this water? Shrugging in her mind, she continued swimming around, not caring that her clothes were soaked.

"Come on in, guys!"
"you don't have to tell me twice" he said grinning while running towards the pool. He dove into the water and swam to the bottom. wow the water feels amazing, no wonder people love being in it!". From his side vision he saw something move some sort of cage opened revealing a horde of big fish of all sorts of colors. "Since when were fish inside of a pool? he asked himself, curious, began to circle the fish leaving one to break away from the others. His Shark instincts started to kick in from his great white side, rolling his eyes to the back of his head, he charged to the fish chasing it around the pool. Once he finally caught it, his bull shark side started to rip and tear at his meal, leaving bits of guts and blood floating around. Smacking his lips from his finished meal, he kicked back and swam to the surface, wiping blood from his mouth.

"Come on in, guys!"

Olivia looked cautiously at the water. "I don't know, I mean, can owls get wet?" She slipped her shoes off and put them by the door, then plopped down in a chair to watch. She noticed Lysander go after fish, and wondered why fish were in a pool. He ripped and tore at one of the fish before kicking up to the surface, wiping away the blood left from his meal. Olivia wondered if they would be fed here or if they would have to catch food. She watched Morgan splash around in the pool and swim laps happily.
