Autumn was sitting there happily eating her macaroni, legs kicking back and forth in content when she smelled it. Her nose twitched at the coppery-penny smell of it and she froze, spoon slipping from her numb fingers to clatter loudly against her plate. She could sense Aiden's surprise through the bond but she took no notice, her eyes had a faraway look to them. While she didn't need blood to survive like full-blooded vampires, she knew the smell all too well; both the smell of her own and other kinds from the beings trapped at the facility. Her tiny hands clenched into fists as she began trembling, not seeing the table or Inn members in front of her. Instead she was strapped to a cold table, staring up at a bright light. There were doctors surrounding her, prodding her with sharp objects, various cuts scarring her tiny body. She stared at them with terrified eyes as one of the picked up a scalpel, the metal glinting in the fluorescent lights as it was brought closer and closer to her left eye.
She gasped, jerking back and falling out of her chair as a result. She scrambled up and darted away, mind still trapped in the horrible memory. She raced through a doorway and stumbled up the stairs. She didn't know where she was going, she just needed to get away from the smell of blood. Terrible, terrible blood. Aiden's alarm was trickling through the bond and he was trying to calm her down but it wasn't able to pierce through her blind panic.
Autumn eventually stopped and curled up in a corner in a tiny ball. Tears were streaking down her face and she whimpered, rocking back and forth slightly as she covered her face.
