Chapter 1 - Waking up (1/2)
The tickling sound of the man's vicious laughs echoed through her ears making her flesh creep. Looking amused at what's in front of him, he leans towards the bloodied girl who's sitting in an iron chair.
Her back was pinned against the spike of the iron chair, her wrist is screwed, few of her fingers are missing and both her feet are crushed. Blood oozes every part of her body. The sight of her is extremely gruesome yet the diabolical man in front of her seemed very amuse. His lips that were curled upward resembling of a smile, he spoke.
”My Sera... dear, don't dare forget this.. hmm?” His bone-chilling voice without any trace of humanity drifted through her ear.
His voice, his laugh, his touch, his presence are all imprinted on her mind. Her heart is filled with hatred; nothing but hatred.
Feeling a cold metallic pressed on her forehead, Seraphina slightly raised her head, though she could not clearly see his face, she still smirked mockingly at the man.
'Yes, I will not forget you.. even in my next lifetime, I'll definitely make you pay a 1000 times!'
BANG!

Tuuut, tuuut, tuuuut
The digital sound of a heartbeat resounded across the four corners of the brightly lit white room.
A girl lying on the bed with a monitoring arterial blood pressure, ECG and also mechanically ventilated, slowly opened her eyes.
'Too bright!' She thought.
Aside from different high-tech monitoring machines beside her bed, even a speck of dust can't be seen inside the room. As the pitch of her heartbeat increases, the variables present at the monitors start to abnormally change. Her eyelids start to flicker as an alarm reverberated across her room.
Slowly, opening her eyes and shutting them once again.
A series of footsteps rushed to her. She could vaguely hear them uttering some words terms she couldn't understand. Thus, she attempted to open her eyes, again. She blinks constantly until her blurry sight adjusts to the light.
”She.. she's a- awake!” A stuttering voice made the busy crowd paused. They subconsciously shift their gazes on the girl's blinking eyes. Then, the abnormality of the variables in the monitor gradually reach normal limits and her heart rate stabilizes.
Stunned for a second, a man that appeared to be in his mid 20's wearing a white lab coat approaches her.
”Hello, Ms. Yue, I'm Dr. Jin. Can you hear me?” The man's monotone voice inquired as he leans closer to her. He added,
”Please blink twice if you can hear me.” Instinctively, she slowly blinks twice as instructed.
'What the heck? Did I survive hell? Hehe.. that sc_u_m he should have killed me! I'll make him regret letting me live!'
Losing herself in her own thoughts and murder schemes, a light pinch on her hand brought her back to reality. Startled, she involuntarily withdrew her hand. The man called doctor Jin nodded in satisfaction. A series of the test went on for who knows how long, then, she once again heard Dr. Jin's voice.
