Bunny
Sweat coats my naked, shaking flesh as I try to hold on to Nannys words. "Shhh. It's okay. I'm here." Her words are a muffled echo. "You're okay, don't go to sleep, don't_" just before everything goes black.
"Damn it Noah, You're going to kill her." I hear Nanny scold.
I no longer feel as if I'm spinning, everything seems more real than before so the worst part must be over. The pain is gone too. Did Nanny give me something to help this time?
"We can't kill her, June, No one can." I hear Father say as if in a daze. Exhausted maybe. "We need to get her to another lab."
"No! No more_"
"You will do as I say!" Father snaps.
It's a long moment before Nanny finally responds; "You want to kill her.... Don't you?"
"She is dangerous, June... She's a weapon. Lets get what we need for the cure and _"
My head starts to hurt, causing me to moan in pain. I try to move my hand but they are bound by shackles hooked to the metal bed that I am laying on.
"Sweetheart. Are you awake?" Nanny coos. She removes the tape from my eyes, allowing me to finally see the dark room where I'm, and Nanny, standing over me with a pressed smile. "I bet you are hungary."
She leaves me briefly and returns with a cookie. "I think you deserve this." She says as she breaks off a piece and places it into my mouth. It's sweet and crunchy but very dry. "See. good."
"You can't keep babying her, June. She needs to learn."
"She's a child, Noah."
Father grabs Nanny by the throat moving her deeper into the shadows but I can still hear them speak. "She is a test subject, not a child. We will proceed as scheduled. Stop babying her!"
I hear Nanny gasp for air before returning to my side as fathers footsteps descend with a clicking noise out of the room. Nanny gazes down at me with her pressed smile and water dripping from her eyes. "Tonight, Okay.... Remember what we talked about."
I nod my head in understanding.

A lamp turns on and Nanny rushes to my side. "Come on, We need to hurry." She says as she starts unlocking me from my shackles. Once I am released, I sit up and look around.This is the first time being in this room. It's much colder and empty.
Nanny helps me off the cold metal table and starts dressing me. I stop her from buttoning up the long white shirt and ask with my hands: "Where is father?"
"Sleeping. We don't have long." I nod as she takes my hands, pulling me out of the dark room and into a dimly lit hall.
Everything happens so fast, I can't even remember how we got out of the hall and into another dark room. "Once I open the door, we are free." She says with a smile I have waited so long to see. A real smile.
Nanny opens the door, and a burst of cold air hits my face, causing me to gasp in surprise. I have never felt so much air before. It's cold and smells sweet. Nanny takes my hand and pulls me through the door and we start to run as fast as we can.
We must have ran for hours to a tall wire wall. Nanny pulls out some clippers and starts cutting the wire into a hole big enough for us to fit through. She puts the clippers back into her bag before saying; Go thought."
I bend down low fitting perfectly through the hole,only ripping my borrowed clothes just a little.
Once I stand to my full height, a man wearing all black and long white hair growing from his face steps forward "You took long enough."
I look back as Nanny stands beside me. "He wouldn't drink the tea." She says with a shrug. "Now, let's go before they find him and sound the alarm.
We start running through big trees until we get to a big machine. The man opens it; "Get in."
I look back at Nanny who smiles and nods her head. "It's safe. You are safe."
