An intense feeling of unease settled in her stomach as they ventured further down the hall. An oppressive feeling of resentment joined the mix, one that Doll could not recall having moments before. It was not resentment for Zero, no, it would never be, but for this place. Doll swallowed, her throat suddenly felt dry. "I think we should go," she voiced quietly but lately it seemed that Zero was tuning her out. They ventured further inside, Zero managing to open the first set of heavy metal doors. He already knew her opinion, there was no reason for Doll to voice again that she didn't think they should go down this path. Nevertheless, they ventured forth and Doll had a sinking feeling that they were being watched. She shivered, not from the cold but from the sensation of eyes on the back of her head.
They reached the next door, this palm reader deactivated so that they couldn't pass through. Doll held her breath, hoping this would impede their journey. Instead, Zero, ever so reliable, pried the door open with those-those, well Doll didn't know what to call them. Vectors, niggled a voice in the back of her head. Vectors? Where had that come from? Was that what those things were called? They entered the second chamber, Zero placed her down on the metal table. Doll shivered once more, looking around. There was a cage in the corner, the door to it left open, chains still inside. Doll hugged herself, an image flashing before her eyes once again. She squeezed them shut, rubbing them with both hands so as not to look suspicious. Zero could probably sense it, there was no point in hiding it. The unease, fear, and uncertainty all swirling around inside of her. Zero had an inquiry, one that Doll was uncertain about. "I'm not sure, to be honest," she replied as he approached her with a handful of documents.
"I can't read this," Doll admitted, feeling slightly disappointed that she couldn't help. "But I've seen this place before, I know that cage. There were people, a man and a woman and they often whispered, but that's all I can recall." Just as the words left her mouth, Doll felt it coming on, another one of those strange headaches that left her breathless and made her head swim.
It was cold, it was always so cold. The cage was lined with blankets in winter, the only source of warmth aside from the large white shirt she sometimes wore. "We can't go on with this any longer!" Someone yelled, the sound loud and grating. It made her wince, normally when there were loud noises there were punishments. "You promised!" The other screamed, "you promised you would see it through to the end!"
"This is the end! Don't you see! If we don't put this to rest, they'll kill us!" Someone rattled the cage, she whimpered and hid underneath the blanket, shaking. "Get out of my way."
"Don't you touch this cage!"
Doll came back to reality with a snap, the headache fading. Yes, she definitely knew this room. "There were two people here," she looked around the room, feeling another shiver coming on. "A man and a woman."
