Into Eternity
Part 1
 
The room slowly fuzzed into focus.  Four bone bleached walls pressed around me.
 
*Sit up. SIT UP*  I couldn't.  Without even looking down I could feel my wrists chained to the steel examination table I lay on, as were my ankles.
 
The door that I gathered was on my right, opened and a thin echo of muted voices started.  They'd drugged me with something to dull my senses, not painkillers, unfortunately, because my jaw still hurt like hell from where those two restraining officers had punched me.  Closing my eyes, I feigned unconsciousness while focusing on making out the words. 
 
"His name...Hayes..no, we haven't found him yet...This is his lover."
 
Hayes.  They were talking about Doze.  Whoever they were, they didn't seem too friendly, shackling me to the table and all. 
 
"Jones...this one'll be dispatched."
 
"Set free? Why?"
 
"...implant the Haema Virus into this one."
 
Haema Virus? Into me?  Hell no.
 
I roared to life.  With all my strength, I managed to brake the shackles off my left wrist.  I lashed out, grabbing at anything I could and growling menacingly, but my hand merely caught air.  My mind was too fogged to yell obscenities, much less articulate what I wanted to say.  Eventually they pulled me back down and re-shackled me to the cold metal table.  Something tiny poked into my forearm and I strained my neck to see what it was.  It was a needle.  I hate needles.
 
Helpless, I started screaming, my stomach and chest convulsing as the liquid in the syringe was shot into my system.  Bastards were trying to put me under.  A flood of acute pain sprang up my arm.  It felt like a spider's web spreading out and through all my limbs, my entire body, before the numbness descended and froze my taught nerves.  Imagine being electrified and tingling and then plunged into ice cold water, frozen solid with your muscles in such and agonising state.  It was excruciating.  Slowly, my brain shut down until all thoughts were slurred into one big, dark vacuum.  And then I dreamed.
 
::He likes cherry cola even though he hates the bubbly carbonation of soft drinks. He said he'd like to pose for a milk mustache ad one day but have it be in an issue of Playboy.  He likes grape flavoured Jolly Ranchers, blueberry popsicles, and anything else that turns his tongue a different colour.  He can tolerate demanding kids, but not over-demanding parents.  His lips taste good with Vanilla lip balm and his skin tastes exquisite with almond oil.::
 
I moaned and slowly awoke with the ghost of Darren's fingers trailing over my skin, the taste of his vanilla lips on the tip of my tongue.  But when I opened my eyes to those same four white walls, a thick metallic tang returned to my mouth.  I smacked my lips together and forced up saliva, spitting everywhere frantically.  The metallic flavour still coated my tongue and the roof of my mouth.  A tasteful reminder of where I was and what they were going to inject into me.  That's when I started panicking. What if they'd already injected me with the virus?  I'd only have 72 hours left to live, more or less.  How long had I been asleep?  Doze, where was my Darren, I needed him so badly now. 
 
The Haema Virus was a man made virus designed to pollute your bloodstream and slowly but surely poison your heart.  Each part of your body - an arm, a leg - would loose blood gradually except you wouldn't notice.  Not until it was too late, 72 hours later, and you drop dead on the floor due to the lack of blood and a dying heart.  Not exactly something I was looking forward to. 
 
"Fuck."  I cursed, and banged my head back against the table.  Thankfully it was hard enough to knock me out. 
 
::Dreaming again...of the time Doze managed to steal enough money from the bank to get us matching tattoos and tattoos were not cheap on these streets.  Professional bank robbery was a risky job, but in a world that had grown to become so cruel and hard, it was a well paying job that got us through the days.  Of course there was a high price on our heads, along with hundreds others, but living on the bad side of New York, no one seemed to notice one criminal face from another and they didn't care. 
 
We'd been good, barely spending a penny on ourselves since our last robbery, so for this one he decided we should be rewarded.  Like I said, I don't like needles and it didn't seem very rewarding to me, but I could never deny Darren of anything. 
 
I felt everything in that dream.  The interlocking thorny vines were effortlessly dulled into the flesh at the back of my right shoulder over the bone so that the pattern would rise whenever I raised my shoulder, and was reminiscent of the crown of thorns one religious icon once wore. The sensation of the needles pricking my skin was dulled by the dreamlike quality so that it felt like rain drops falling on my back.  Darren was up next, and he had me hold his hand throughout the procedure.  When finished, there were two bands of interlocking thorns identical to mine.  He said something, I couldn't really hear him, but it was something like, "Do you like it?", and I could feel my face lift into a smile.  He smiled back then, his blue eyes twinkling, as he took my hand and led us out of the shop.  Beautiful.::
 
The next time I came to, I was barely able to comprehend my surroundings because they'd drugged me so heavily.  Blurry shapes and figures guided me to another white room and I could see the form of a chair in front of me.  Shit, they were going to strap me in and inject me with the virus.  I prayed for it to be a dream, but I was still there.  A new black void was settling in and clouding my mind as I was being strapped in, and thankfully I'd passed out before I could feel the needle pierce skin.
