"There are also millions of people who are twenty-two this year, it isn't just me!" I called out to wherever he was. He snickered and came out of the dark. "Do you think I'm stupid, dear Arran?"
That blonde hair man appeared right in front of me. He's still wearing that suit. However, this time he has a pair of rectangle glasses on. It was placed slightly on the lower part of his nose bridge.
He walked closer towards me, trailing his fingers down my chest, to the hem of my shirt. I gulped and watched his every move. My breathing started to get heavier and my throat closing in. In a swift second, he pulled my shirt up, "The wounds that are healing using the orbs in your skin. Did you think I didn't notice it the moment I walked into that torture chamber?"
Beats of sweat formed on my forehead, I could feel it slide down the side of my face. "I have no idea what those are, I haven't seen it before!" I shouted and moved forward, closer to his face. I expected him to move back but he did not flinch an inch. Instead, he switched his attention from my wounds to my eyes. Sinister dark eyes staring right into my orbs.
A smirk was pulled on his face from the corner of my vision. "Do you think I'm scared of you?" His smirk grew wider and pushed me back. He laughed out loud and it gets louder by the second. I could feel my heartbeat get faster as fear dawned on me. It feels as if I just chased down a bullet train.
His laugh died down slowly. He clapped, I'm guessing to signal his underlings to come in. However, that wasn't the case. The lights from all corners of the room lit up. I watched as each light bulb lit up around the room, revealing a very technological lab.
I was so busy looking around that room, astonished that I didn't realize Henry had strapped me onto the chair. A cold freezing metal strap that was connected to the chair wrapped around my wrists and ankles. I was careless! But whether I was or not, I would still be strapped since he is in power.
I pushed away that thought of me being trapped and looked towards the big screen in that lab. I saw my birth information and other personal information about me from when I was born until now. That's creepy. Shivers went down my spine as I went through everything in horror, it was all accurately about me.
If this is a dream, I beg to wake up at this instance! I saw a sudden movement made by him from the corner of my eye and due to this, I snapped my head towards him. He had his hands raised with a needle in his hand. I wanted to move but I was not able to. I could only watch him as he jabs the needle into my thighs.
My vision began to blur. I'm so sure at that point that the substance might've put me to sleep. I saw Henry smile and trace his free hand up my arms and wraps around my shoulder, "Night, night, Arran," was the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me.

'Arran. You need to think of a way to get out of there!' I heard my guardian angel yell. I forced my eyes to open, I'm still in the lab. I looked around, looking for her but to no avail. She's not here, but why can I hear her?
'Arran, I'm losing touch! You need to get out quick, you need to!' Her voice called out. The voice of hers started to get further and further away as it sounds more distanced. Get out? Of course, I want to! Still, how do I get out?
"Ah! I see you're awake. Today, we will be meeting your lover," He said, emerging from the dark. He went straight to the computer and was typing away. "It's just going to be a short visit though," he stated after a few taps on the keyboard, "Don't bother asking, I've got connections."
He said that as if he knows I was gonna ask. I'm afraid of what will happen. I will be meeting Rhea after a while, it's gonna feel painful and I don't know how I will cope with it. I heard two claps from Henry and a couple of guys running into the room. I watched as the metal straps release my wrists and ankles.
I was yanked off of the chair and my arms were pulled back and cuffed. Damn, I never knew how much my butt hurt until I was forced to stand up. They kept pushing me forward to force me to walk but I was already walking on my own! Are they doing it just for the sake of it?
Henry finished whatever he was doing and walked towards us as we stopped abruptly. The two guys held me tight to prevent me from running away. Henry walked towards the corner of the room and pulled open a rusty door. He stepped in and I was pushed forward by one of the two guys while he was still holding onto my arm.
We journeyed to the end of that long hallway to find a bright portal. It was light blue, almost like we're in the sky. Henry stopped in his tracks and turn to look at me. "Are you ready? Actually, screw that, I don't care if you are or not, we'll be going with or without your consent," He snickered and turn towards the portal once more.
The guy restraining me pushed me into the portal. Am I going there alone?! I snapped my head towards Henry to see him waving, "See you there," he smiled.
I entered the portal with force, it felt as if I just emerged from the water. The force of the portal between this world and the overworld was so strong that I felt the sensation of being submerged and emerged.
I looked around as it was my first time in the spirit world. We were standing on a really soft material. I looked at the ground and I could see clouds. I looked at the floor all around and it was all clouds. We were surrounded by trees and the clouds under the trees just look like a different colored cloud.
This world is so fascinating. "Ahem," a voice which I recognized as Henry cleared his throat. I glared at him as he fixed his coat. He walked forward, in front of us, beckoning for us to follow close. The moment I started walking, I feel like I was tripping and falling. "Oh, it will take some time for you to get used to the floors here, just don't fall into the void, we are in a different dimension after all," he chuckled.
