Levana's POV

I yawned and opened my eyes. I was back on the hospital bed in the Laboratory.

I let out an involuntary groan as I noticed my pounding headache. You'd think I'd be used to it after 7 years, but each one was worst than the last.

"Not again!"someone exclaimed from across the room. I slowly moved into an upright position and tried to focus on the blurred figure who had spoken.

"Who said that?"I asked, giving up.

"Me, Caitlin. Your only friend."she said.

"Oh. Sorry 'bout that."I muttered and she obviously didn't hear because she started to rant about her headache.

"Can you just shut up?"Jason asked. Thankfully, nothing looked blurred anymore.

"Fine."she grumbled.

"Hey! Get a life, you Scientists! You're all stupid, useless, boring, meanies!"a younger girl cried out. She looked to be about twelve.

"Hey... If we just got experimented on... Who here has no idea who we are and is very confused?"Caitlin asked, her voice louder than usual.

"I think that would be me."our newest Rat announced.

"Well, have fun in hell."an all too familiar voice voice said.

"Oh... You. If you lay a hand on newbie, you'll wish you'd never been born."I growled.

"And what exactly does that feel like?"he asked.

"Wishing you had never been born? It's certainly aggravating, but also inspiring. You really are a jerk."I retorted.

"Oh. Feeling a bit rebellious, aren't you? Maybe a trip to the Chamber will fix that."he said.

"Oh yes. That sounds great. Just let me get my tiara and we can go."I said sarcastically, pretending to place a crown on top of my head.

"Well, you do act like a little princess."he sneered.

"Well I am a little princess. Maybe that's why."I said and started to walk towards the door.

"Where's she going?"the newbie asked.

"You'll see soon enough."Adam said.

The trip to the chamber wasn't long at all. In fact, it was right down the hall.

When we got there, Adam forced me into the metal chair and sat down. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and a wicked grin replaced the smirk on his face.

"Well, well, well. What should we do to you today?"he asked.

"I've always wanted a tattoo."I suggested. "And I heard they really hurt."

"How about a little crown, princess?"

"That sounds great. I suggest my forehead or my arm."I said.

"Definitely your forehead. That will be noticeable."he told me.

I nodded and he pressed the shiny tip of the blade against my forehead. Then, he dragged it down slowly.

Each tiny movement made me feel sicker, and sicker. I must've been losing a lot of blood.

He continued this treacherous process until there was a bloody crown on my forehead.

After that, he walked me to the door of the Laboratory and practically threw me into the room.

Although my eyes were closed due to the pain and blood, I could almost feel the stares the other Rats gave me before I passed out.
