Myst:
I woke up from a sound sleep to the touch of a hand dragging me out of my tank. In instinct my gills faded into lungs and my tail formed into to legs. The Morphing was uncomfortable but not as bad as other things, so I had learned to deal with it. What I was more worried about at the moment was the room they were bringing me in. My hazy mind reminded me to put up a struggle and proclaim I wasn't their's. So I shook my wrist from the man who was holding me and kicked him right between the legs with alarming force. His knees buckled and for the thousandth time I broke into a sheer sprint towards the door. This time I would make it. This time I would be free. The door... So close... And then I was on the ground. An electric shock had pulsed through my neck. At first I was hurt but once I recovered I gingerly placed my fingers to my neck and found a collar I hadn't previously noticed was there. I took a gasp and a small sob as I realized what this meant. Every time I reached the door it would electrocute me. Send my muscles into a sheer useless state. They must have snuck it on me in my sleep. Maybe if I could dive across... My muscles tensed and I prepared to but was snatched by the back of the shirt and dragged over into the new room. Or, the usually unused room. Last time I was here was so long ago..
Mommy! Mommy! I wanna see that!
Honey... That is just the jelly fish room. I need a break. Honestly... Just go... Don't get lost.
Yay!!! Thanks mom!!

There are other people in this room... I know it.

Are you lost?
Y-yeah.
Come with us!

Bright lights. Beeping noises. They-- they took my blood!

You cant keep the little girl.
But she is perfect for the genetic recumbent!
Fine. Take her. Operate.

I'm back in the bright room. This time they have bigger tools. I'm scared.....

No! I can't let those hazy memories surface! Not now...
I notice quickly the room has changed. Yup! A full evil scientist makeover! Wow!
Now in place of the flat metal table there is a chair that they shove me not-so-daintily into. Before I can put up more of a fight two chains are wrapped tightly around my wrists. This doesn't seem good.
No.. They can't operate again... Not again....
But this almost seems worse to me. Next they take a chain and wrap it around my head. This alarms me but all I can do is kick uselessly at nothing. This idiot is lucky he was tying it from behind.
I couldn't open my mouth anymore and the cold metal shoved into my flesh and made small cuts. As if to make matters worse they pried my mouth open in a painful way and shoved a thick towel inside. I heard one of them say 'this should do fine stifling her screams'. My heart pumped at a faster rate than ever and my mind was in a frenzy. Screams?!? What on earth were they planning?!?
And then the legs were tied and a table was pulled up with a knife and a pair of gloves. Was... was this the end?
Ash
They had explained to me what to do before, but the closer I got the more queasy and lightheaded I felt. I couldn't deny I was just as curious as the rest of them, but still, was this too far? It scared me to see the mermaid girl in this state. She was crying. She was human. I know that in order to keep my job I can't let my queasiness get the best of me.
"Just get it over with" I muttered to myself and pulled on the latex gloves. I grabbed the small camera they had and started documenting with a shaky voice.
"Th-this is a demonstration.. of h-how the mermaid-hybrid specimen can grow back limbs."
I picked up the knife in my hands and turned the handle around in my palm hesitantly. Dread filled me as I saw the helpless girl in front of me. She was in hysterics.
"What are you waiting for?" One of the others asked me.
"Nothing." I reply quietly. And I raise the knife up, ignoring her screaming and sobbing and struggling to break free, and bring it down on her finger. The sound was blood chilling. It made my stomach turn to see her like that. No one should have to go through it. But nothing- nothing was as horrific as her pained shrieks. They echoed in the small room and made the moments afterwards a nightmare. This is not what I asked for. The girl needed to get out of here.
