TWO
Lyanna entered the room that was assigned to her slowly, dreading the result and the process that led to the result, mirrors cover the inner walls of the room, allowing Lyanna to be able to see her reflection from all angles, the dress truly fit her figure perfectly, it was made to fit so there were no doubts there. Her face was slightly red, perhaps it was the anxiety or perhaps it was that she completely and utterly observed.
The ceiling glows white with light, the mirrors doing nothing to diminish the brightness, instead only augmenting it. In the center of the room is a reclined chair, like a dentist's, with a machine next to it, something straight out of a horror book.
"Don't worry," a woman says, "it doesn't hurt. " bringing Lyanna's attention to her, her green eyes snapping to the woman, her red hair matching her own, only it was in a tight bun at the low back of her skull unlike Lyanna's, which cascaded down her back in soft waves, steel blue eyes staring back at her, clashing with her vivid forest green ones, a loose and nearly floor-length grey ensemble covering her entire body. Lyanna knew this woman, Tiana Grey was her name.
A broad smile etched on Lyanna's slightly plump lips, and her green eyes watched as an identical smile etched on the woman's own lips, then without hesitation Lyanna quickly closed the distance between the two and hugged the woman with all her might, "You're so big..." Tiana mumbled, screwing her eyes shut as she hugged the 16-year-old.
"I'm only 16." Lyanna chuckled before pulling away, "I know, but still, last I saw you, you were 8 and missing your front teeth." Tiana replied, gently moving her hand to rub the younger ginger's cheek, "They forgot we're related right?" Lyanna inquired as she climbed onto the reclined chair, watching as the woman nodded while she messed with the machine
"They knew that they had kids to test and that they needed people, didn't think twice about checking for possible relatives getting relatives, I mean it's bound to happen at one point or another." Tiana replied as she grabbed a handful of wires, making sure they were clean, giving them an extra wipe just in case, "Still drawing?" her question made Lyanna smile, it was a secret talent that Lyanna had and that no one knew about, well at least no one outside their family.
The young teen hummed a little, waiting for her relative to finish pressing the electrodes to her forehead, "Just to think that Dorea will be doing this in two years..." Tiana mumbled under her breath sadly, Lyanna reached out to grab the woman's hand, giving it a small squeeze before telling her "You still have 4 little ones at home." it was true, Tiana knew of this, her eldest child and son, Andrew had done the test and chosen his faction the previous year, and her second eldest child, eldest daughter, Dorea, would be doing the test in two years time, but she still had 4 little ones at home, ages 4 and 8, two set of twins.
Lyanna waited in silence as her relative finished what she had to do before she was handed a vial of clear liquid with the order "Drink this." Even though Tiana was family, the ever-curious Lyanna raised the vial to her nose and sniffed it gently, it was odorless making her question "What is it?" Tiana gives her a tight smile and places her hands on the computer.
Knowing she won't get an answer Lyanna presses the vial to her lips and tips the mysterious contents of the vial into her mouth, frowning before she swallowed. The effect was instant, her eyes close against her will and her hand falls to her stomach, her whole body slaking almost as if she had fallen asleep.
