Natalie had been staring straight ahead of her but seeing nothing, zoning in and out of reality, not really knowing if it was out of boredom or if it was the effect of the facility. Possibly both.

[color=8493ca]“So I’m not alone here. Are you staff?”[/color]

Natalie slowly turned her head upwards, prying her eyes off of the back of the wall so that they could follow the motion. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the male that stood across from her, not really believing what she was actually seeing. Before answering him, she looked around the cafeteria to see if there was anyone else, or if he would disappear. Nothing. The man, who had now stated that his name was Matthias, kept looking at her with curious eyes.

[color=f6989d]“Oh, um, my name is Natalie.”[/color] The small woman stood up to shake his hand, as most would do in a formal meeting, although it felt out of place taking their circumstances into consideration. [color=f6989d]“I’m sorry, it’s just that I’ve been alone for a few days now. Honestly I don’t know how many but it couldn’t have been much. I just spend my time sleeping.”[/color] She had realized that she was rambling, deflecting from the questions that he had asked.[color=f6989d] “I’m not a worker here. They are dressed in these darker scrubs, almost like a dark grey. I saw them when I got here when they were cleaning out rooms for… you. I guess you’re part of the new comers, like Mark said.” [/color]A wave of heart break and anxiety washed over her as Natalie realized that more people had been caught for whatever cruel human experiment the government had decided to create. [color=f6989d]“To answer some of your many unasked questions, no I do not know where we are. No, nothing has happened since I got here, except that the group of people before us was taken. I met a young man named Mark. He could read minds…. He was inside of my mind. That’s why we’re here apparently. There’s something inside of us that they want.” [/color]

Natalie knew that she was beginning to sound like a crazy woman by the subtle changes of emotions that were expressed on the man’s face. She sighed before sitting back down, a bit defeated. [color=f6989d]“I don’t know much more, I’m afraid. Mark was taken during the night. As was the other girl that… died. I was the first one here of the group, and there were only two of the group before me, so three total. It was myself, Mark, and the girl. She never left her room. When I got here she was in her room crying. I only know because Mark could hear her in his mind. The next day, I could feel her pain before it all stopped, then that night Mark was taken.”[/color] Her voice had lowered as she came to the realization that it was all of their fates. Whoever came in to the facility would leave either like the girl in the room or like Mark. Taking in a deep breath, then exhaling, she was able to calm her anxiety a bit before speaking again. 

[color=f6989d]“I, uh, I am sorry. I know it’s a lot and really grim, but it’s the reality of where we currently are. I wish there was a bit of good news that I could tell you, but honestly there’s not. When did you get here?”[/color]
