In a Living Nightmare

[Blackout]

*i feel trapped in my own mind, stuck in a forced sleep by the sedative that korse injected in me. a dream forms and takes on a familiar shape, as i soon become face to face with myself*
*walks up to the other me* now do you believe that im you?
unfortunately yes.
*smiles* well im glad you've finally come to grips with the fact that you'll be me
its not like i had a choice.
that is true, but its for the best. You'll be waking up in a bit, i'll see you once you're me again.
*the dream dissapears and i wake up strapped to a medical table* deja vu...

[Volume Virus]

((Just popping in here to say OF. FREAKING. COURSE. YOU. WOULD. *kicks table over*
Done. But if you make Vol punch you...ohhh, she will. > ))

[Blackout]

((sorry, i kinda had this planned out for a while))

[Volume Virus]

((I told you all my plot when you played my people. So, hate you too. :] NOW I'M LEAVING. (Probably not for good. *loser*)))

[Blackout]

*walks in* comfortable?
As comfortable as i can be while strapped to a metal table with all my gear missing and not knowing where my brother is.
connor is perfectly safe right now, in fact, he's right next to you
*looks next to me and connor is strapped to another table and arm's length away* connor?
*i wake at the sound of my sister's voice* Riley? whats going on?
nothing good, unfortunately.

[Blackout]

to you two, perhaps. But to BLI its very good. *holds up a syringe filled with a clear liquid that's tinged green* now im sure you'll recognize whats in this Riley
*pales* That isnt...
*smirks* it is, drug number 2129
what's 2129 sis?
a very, very bad drug

[Blackout]

the dose provided here is enough to eliminate several months of your memory. But despite what you may think, it's not for you Riley. *sees her confused face* do you think I'd want to risk losing what you mave have locked in your head from recent events? Of course not! But your brother on the other hand...
no. No you are not giving him that poison!
*continues as if she didn't say anything* the dose would be enough to bring him back to when he still worked in the labs. But of course since you're here now, we'll have to alter the situation to insure he doesn't return to his present state
*pales* you can't make me go back to work in that jail cell! I won't do it!
*smirks* we'll see how you feel about that in an hour. *injects the syringe into him*
*almost immediately the drug causes me to writhe in pain and I can't think straight. I can faintly hear Blackie calling my name and I turn to her*
Connor! Connor please stay with me! *I manage to move my arm enough to be able to grab his hand* Connor I'm so sorry.
*manages a small smile despite the agonizing pain* it's not... Your fault sis... I-I... Love... You no... Matter... *I pass out but I still hold onto riley's hand*

[Blackout]

*I hold onto his hand until doctors come and pry my fingers off. As he's wheeled awxy I notice that my face was wet and I had been crying* Korse you are a sick, twisted, heartless bastard! I'll kill you! Just you wait til I get out of-
*cuts her off* when you get out of here, you'll be working for BLI and will be taking orders from me. Now tell me Riley, who are you working with? Who else is trying to sabotage our plan?

[Blackout]

Like I would tell you!
*frowns* we can do this two ways: you can either tell me and come with us with no trouble, or you can not tell me and I'll have to force the answers out of you in a very painful way
*glares at him and deliberately looks away*
*picks up a syringe sticks it into her arm, but doesn't inject the contents yet* last chance Riley, tell me who else was working with you!
I'll tell you nothing!
we'll see about that. *injects the syringe*
*a burning pain coarses through my body and I have to bite my tounge to keep from crying out*

[Blackout]

*the pain builds and I can taste blood in my mouth from biting my tounge*
*grabs another syringe and injects it into her* you can't hold out forever Riley, you'll have to break eventually
*the pain doubles and I can't help but cry out* it... Was just... Me and... Connor...

[Blackout]

I seriously doubt that only the two of you are plotting against us. Just tell me their names, and the pain will end. Resist me again, and it will only get worse for you
*the pain starts to become overwhelming and I struggle to focus through it. In the midst of it, I see a remote strapped to Korse's belt and I manage to get one of my knives in hand, but just touching my knife shoots pain through my hand. I just need to get him a little closer* I... Won't... Say... Anything...
*glares at her* your stubbornness won't get you anywhere. *steps forward to inject another dose into her*
*I wait until the last second before running my knife through the remote*
*jumps back in surprise and angrily yanks the knife out of the remote and holds it against riley's neck* give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!
*manages a small smirk* you... Al-already know... Why you... Can't kill me...
*glares at her and reluctantly removes the knife* that is true, I can't kill you. *sticks another syringe in her arm* but I can make you suffer.

[Blackout]

*my skin feels like it's on fire, anything that touches it burns, even my own clothes. Spots start to swim before my eyes and know I'm about to pass out*
defy me all you want Riley, but it will do you no good. *presses two fingers to her forehead and smirks evilly*
*the pain is so intense that passing out feels almost like a relief, but as everything fades to black, I see Korse take the remote and notice that it is still working. All that pain was for nothing*

[Blackout]

back so soon?
hey, you're not the one who just got injected with three doses of whatever that stuff was!
*sighs* must I really go through this again? We. Are. The. Same. Freaking. Person. Whatever happens to you happens to me and vice-versa. I'll prove it to you. *takes out a knife and cuts the inside of my arm* now look at your arm
*I look and there is a clear cut on my arm and looks back at Riley* then you know what I went through just now.
yes I do. listen to me Blackout, the longer you try to defy Korse, the worse things will get for you. You either tell him what he wants to know or go through the pain again and again until you do.
*shakes head* no. I won't betray my friends. You should know that since you're me.
*smiles sadly* yes I know that. Then prepare for more torture Blackie, it's only going to get harder from here.
*smirks* good thing we have a relatively high tolerance to pain.

[Blackout]

*smiles* thank god for that. But we're only human, there's only so much pain we can handle
I can take it, I'm a killjoy.
*looks at her sadly* probably not for much longer though, I'm afraid. it's time for you to wake up now. Until next time Blackie
Until next time, Riley.

[Blackout]

*I wake up to Korse repairing the remote. Damn, I should have been able to at least deactivate it. I feel like I got run over by a train, but I try not to show it*
*picks up a syringe* are you finally going to tell me Riley, or do we have to go through all of this again?
*I grin mischievously at him* why don't you go to hell Korse? Oh wait, I forgot that we're already there.
don't test my patience Riley, only the information you have is what is keeping me from killing you right now
and it's pissing you off isn't it? Not being able to kill me when you so obviously want to.
*I grab my gun and hold it up to her head*
Yea it's a real shame that you can't kill me, isnt it? *I smile, having a little too much fun watching Korse's face turn a bright red*
i may not be able to kill you, but I am able to do this. *suddenly moves the gun and shoots her in both her arms*
