Chapter 7: A Cold Feeling.

~Nicks POV~

Last I remembered was feeling a sudden pain in my arm, then a scream. I had a dream and it was a reasonably nice one. Me, Uni, Ashlie and the gang were all back in our old neighbourhood. We all laughing and joking and about to pose for a picture when one of the houses went up in flames. It was Cory's... Then Cory suddenly started screaming and I didn't know why because Uni had already dragged me away. I... I think I'm the one who screamed, but in real life... The dream fades away completely and I'm back in that horrifying lab in which that cruel, cruel, man took me. He had just opened up the door and headed over to the surgery table I was on. I don't know why but I just had a cold feeling in my stomach... He unstrapped me straight away without taking any precautions, like I've been told he does by Cory and Ashlie. I was so confused until I lent up to see my right leg was nothing more then a robotic enhanced leg and my lower stomach area was replaced with metal plating. I didn't know how to react and he knew that, chuckling at my not so intelligent reaction.
"Heh, interesting reaction. Have the others told you their reaction to being enhanced? Cory reacted with hatred and anger, and Ashlie was calm and quiet. They seem to have swapped personalities almost. Rather funny actually. I wonder what you'll grow up to be like. But, for now, let me give you another quick warning..." The mad man's voice went significantly lower. "Try to disobey me and there will be consequences. Warn the others too. Their actions will result in your suffering if not the actions I want. Clear?" I nod fearfully. He steps back, wanting me to attempt walking. I get a hang of it surprisingly quickly, as even he gets shocked. He goes over to wright something down. As he does so, catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror from the corner of my eye. I become wide-eyed as I see that as well as my leg and stomach, I have a lower section of the left side of my face replaced with more metal plating. At the same time as my realisation of this fact, I hear a female, presumably Ashlie, scream out,
"WHAT DID THAT FUCKER DO TO HIM?!" I was not prepared for something like that and so I went into a state of panic. I didn't know what else to do other then just huddle up and brake down from the shear amount of shock. Despite the screech from Ashlie, the doctor came and calmed me. To no surprise this took a few hours, and for a moment, I almost thought he actually cared about me, but then remembered what Cory had told me the scientist had told him, 'Listen Nick. I know i'm not one of the main people you trust in your life but don't trust the scientist. He told me that he needed me to get her for him. That she might listen to someone else who has also been experimented on, like me. But then he said or she'll starve. I don't really care that much, but it'd be in my best interest to keep her alive so I don't waist resources recreating what I have made with her.' He only cares about the results, not the people. He finally leaves to go feed the others and I hear them having a slight argument next door. Soon after, the scientist comes and picks me up by my collar. I struggle a small bit but knew I wouldn't be able to escape his tight grasp. We go towards the group's bedroom and he puts me on my feet in the doorway, shoves me in and locks the door. I looked down, not knowing what they would all think of what he made me. Ashlie almost jumped off the bunk to give me a hug but before she does, she takes a second to look at me. I step back onto my right leg not expecting the sudden movement, so they heard the clang of the robotic leg I now have. I stare right into her eyes as she said nothing more then, "Nick?" In question
