Chapter Three: Rehabilitation
All five of them lay in hospital beds with tubes and wires connecting them to monitors surrounding them. They weren’t alone, there were several other people lying on beds as well. One was a girl with wavy blonde hair framing her pretty face, she had a neck brace on and a bandage wrapped around her wrists. Another was a brunette girl who had a cast around her right leg, the last one was another girl with short hair and purple and red highlights, she had a bandage wrapped around her head and left arm.
Gerard had a bandage around his head as well. Ray had a cast on his arm; Mikey had minor cuts all over his arms and chest. Frankie had a bandage around his thigh where the glass had been and Rhonda had bandages around her waist and right arm.
They were all pretty beat up from the ‘sterilisation’. Rhonda slowly opened her eyes. The monitor’s beeping sped up a little, indication her regaining consciousness. Her dark brown eyes scanned the sterile white room. She tried to sit up but the pain in her ribs forced her to remain lying down.
All of a sudden, a woman dressed in a white nurse’s outfit walked in. Rhonda closed her eyes and pretended she was still asleep.
The nurse stopped at the bed with the pretty girl with purple and red highlights.
“Gisele, yep. The first one for the mind adjustment test.” Said the nurse, she took out a syringe and jabbed it into Gisele’s arm. Gisele inhaled deeply and opened her eyes as she exhaled.
“Wakey, wakey Gisele. Time for a little test.” She said as she tried to get a drowsy Gisele into a wheelchair. She wheeled her out of the room.
When Rhonda thought the coast was clear she slowly opened her eyes again. She looked down at her torso she saw the bandage that was wrapped around her. She also saw the needles that were in her skin. Having a fear of needles, this freaked her out, a lot. Her gut told her to pull them out. She grabbed hold of the needles, turned her head away and tried to pull them out. But she was stopped by a hard cold hand.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Said a cold voice, Korse. His black beady eyes staring coldly into Rhonda’s warm dark brown ones. “It would be the last thing you ever do. See they are supporting your life, for now at least. Just until you recover fully from that terrible, terrible bombing.” He said with a slight smirk on his face. Rhonda slowly removed her hand from her arm where the needles were.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“I am Korse. I help run a… company called Better Living Industries. We are here to help you live a better life.” Said Korse.
Rhonda was saddened by the fact that everything and everyone she loved could possibly be gone, forever. “My life was fine before it happened.” She said with a noticeable hint of anger in her voice.
“Well, it will be even better than before.” He said as he turned to walk out the door “You will be next to start the test.”
“What test?” asked Rhonda. But Korse was already out the door. She knew at first glance that he was bad news.
All of a sudden, she heard someone inhale deeply and then exhale slowly.
“Ow, my head. Wha-? Where am I?” it was Gerard.
Rhonda turned her head towards his voice “Hey Gee.”
“Oh. Hey Rhonda. What happened? Are you okay?” he asked.
“There was a bombing. I’m a bit disorientated. How’s your head?”
“It’s throbbing a bit. How long have I been out?” he asked.
Just at that moment another nurse came in. She stopped in front of Rhonda’s bed.
“Hmm. I see your already awake, Rhonda. Saves me from using this.” She said as she pulled out a large syringe, which made both Rhonda and Gerard gulp in fear. The nurse laughed and got Rhonda to sit up carefully, not provoking her wounds and sat her in a wheel chair.
“Come now Rhonda, time for your test.” Said the nurse.
“W-what test.” Asked Rhonda taking a worried side glance at Gee, who looked back at her with the same expression.
“Oh. Just a health check.” said the nurse. She wheeled Rhonda out of the room. Just as Rhonda disappeared into the white hallway of the hospital, Ray and Mikey woke up.
Still sitting in her wheel chair, Rhonda was pushed to a small, white walled room that had a chair like the one you would sit in if you went to the dentist, a small table and a TV screen.
The nurse helped her up onto the big chair. She fastened the straps around Rhonda’s arms and legs.
“Now. You have to watch this, uh, information video before we start your, um, health check.” Said the nurse. ‘Something isn’t right about this place. It gives me the creeps.’ Thought Rhonda as the nurse switched on the TV.
A low toned humming noise filled Rhonda’s ears. The screen was white with a strange shape in the middle.
“Please stare in the middle of the moving shape.” A female voice said. “I am so happy to be alive. I must work hard to survive. Better Living Industries has provided me with a better way of life. I must repay them by working hard for them. Did I take my medication today? Keep working hard to stay alive.” At that moment the moving shape disappeared and a weird smiley face replace it only to fade away after two seconds.
Rhonda felt numb after that. She didn’t feel any emotion, didn’t think of anything she just sat there staring. The nurse walked up to the small table beside her and picked up the two red and white pills and a glass of water.
“Open up.” She ordered. Rhonda obeyed and the nurse popped the two tablets into Rhonda’s mouth then gave her a drink of water. “Alrighty now, Rhonda, listen carefully and repeat after me. I will obey every order.”
“I will obey every order.” Slurred Rhonda in a robotic voice.
“I will take my vitamins every morning.”
“I will take my vitamins every morning.” She repeated.
“I will work hard to please my superiors.”
“I will work hard to please my superiors.”
“You can stop repeating what I say and get up and go to the man at the desk down the hall. He will know what to do with you.” The nurse said as she untied Rhonda from the chair.
Rhonda stood up stiffly and walked out the door and down the hall, passing a now awoken Frank in a wheel chair being pushed into the same room Rhonda had been in.
She approached the man at the desk, her movements like a robot’s, stiff and unhuman-like.
“Name.” the man who was dresses in a white suit (everything seemed to be white, ew!) and a Dracula mask demanded.
“Rhonda.” She said.
“Hmmm… Yep, Rhonda, if you could step to the side.” He said and Rhonda did as she was told. The man pulled oped a drawer and took out a syringe. He jabbed it into her good arm, she didn’t even wince.
“Ok. You’ve been immunised. Move along to the training facility.” He said and Rhonda walked through another door.
She was soon joined by Frank and Gerard, followed by Mikey and Ray. She also saw Gisele there. They were in a huge warehouse with hundreds of other people. Everyone had that same vacant expression and the same stiffness in their movements.
A stout woman in a light grey suit was standing on a landing, staring down at all the survivors.
“Welcome survivors. We will be training you to become soldiers what we call Draculoids for Better Living Industries or BL/ind. You will be separated into three divisions. The first Division, The second Division and so forth. I know most of you are still recovering from the Sterilization, but we will make sure you are full recovered before you begin your training. For those who are not severely injured will start training immediately.” She said in a rough voice.
Everyone was divided into three even groups. Ray, Gerard, Frank and Mikey were all in the second Division. Rhonda and Gisele were in the First.
The first Division was lead into another warehouse.
“Let you training begin.” Said the grey suited woman.
Behind her was a window. Behind that window, in the shadows, sat a man in a leather clad chair at a vintage work desk. His hands were together on the desk. He smiled darkly.
“A new life has begun.”
