The house of madness

Chapter eleven: Mind wiping time.

“You’ll always be…my little girl.” A voice echoed through Hailey’s head from a time she did not recollect. She opened her eyes. Hailey was strapped to a white bed in a white room. This must have been the “hospital” that her father had been talking about. What were they going to do to her? Why was she here? Who was she? Where was she? Who were they? Hailey tried to move but she was paralyzed from whatever they had stabbed her with. Some kind of shot. She could look around with her eyes but she couldn’t close her eyes. What were they doing to her? Suddenly her father or whoever he was and a scientist walked in, talking. They seemed unaware that she could hear them but if they were aware they didn’t seem to care. “What could have triggered her memory to relapse?” Tom asked. The scientist shrugged. “No idea. The only reason I can think of is if…she saw someone she knew once.” He said. Tom shook his head. “No that can’t be it. I erased all her former memories.” Tom said. “Who were you talking about whenever she panicked?”

“The targets…she said she knew one of them.”

“Well…it is possible. You simply erased her memories. I told you that simply erasing her memories would cause insecurities. Just because she look like you-” The scientist began. Tom suddenly reached his hand out in anger and grasped the scientist by the neck and held him in midair. “ENOUGH! YOU WORK FOR ME! YOU WILL DO AS I SAY OR I WILL GET RID OF YOU FOR YOUR INTOLERANCE!” Tom bellowed, his eyes turning black. “Y-yes sir p-please. I’m s-sorry. I was only w-worried f-for you-our h-health.” The scientist managed to choke out, his face turning purple from lack of oxygen. Tom threw the scientist down on the ground and eyed him with disgust. “Go. While I take care of her you go prepare the betrayers for mind wiping.” The scientist nodded, got to his feet and bowed his way out. Her father turned and faced her, his eyes suddenly gentle. His face was deathly pale though. Hailey felt afraid and she desperately wanted to get out but she couldn’t move. Tom reached out and closed her eyes gently with his fingers and Hailey was left in darkness. She felt another needle jab into her elbow. Then she felt him place his hand on her forehead, then slowly his hand began to feel hot. She started to black out but before she did she heard a wail sounding like a dying animal. She was vaguely aware that she was the one wailing.
