Chapter 4 - DANGLING

A few minutes passed and Ariana lay on the ground as still as a rock. 

There was white foam around her mouth as a result of the poisoning.

Her skin was pale and though it looked like she was dead, her chest was still rising and falling.

She was still breathing!

"Ahhh..." Ariana gasped as she opened her eyes. She jolted up and she felt like her heart would jump out of her chest. Holding onto her chest, she looked around.

Her eyes widened in horror when she saw that she was on the floor, in the pantry. 

"No..." She said, in a low tone and disbelief. 

She didn't think she would still be alive and she preferred to rot in hell.

"This is not happening!" She held her head, in trepidation. 

Immediately, she stood up to her feet, realizing she was perfectly fine.

"No!" She screamed and her screams echoed through the walls.

She was frustrated and she didn't know what to do next. At this point, she would do anything just to die.

"Why?" She suddenly asked. She didn't know why her father had to clone her. If he loved his daughter so much, why didn't he love her as well? 

These were Ariana's thoughts. However, in the next second, she burst into a peal of mocking laughter. 

She could see her reflection on the glass mugs and cups in the pantry.

Her eyes squinted out hot tears as she said, pointing to herself, "It's because you are a fake! You are not meant to be loved!"

"I'm a clone!" She said, through gritted teeth. She then held onto one of the cabinets, tightly, with her eyes closed. Her fingers turned red due to the force she was using.

However, a thought popped into her head and her eyes snapped open.

She realized she was made in the laboratory and she would have to die in the laboratory.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Ariana said, with a creepy and crazy smile. Immediately, she rushed out of the pantry and dashed past the common hall.

The laboratory was located in the basement. However, she had never been there. She didn't have any memories of her being in the laboratory.

However, she had seen her father go in there countless times while she hid from him.

Anticipation mixed with fear coursed through her body as she descended the stairs leading to the basement.

Her footsteps echoed in the air and her hand shakily held onto the wall. 

As she descended, it was getting darker, however, she could still through the darkness.

When she got to the last step of the stairs, she saw a door on the left.

What she thought was the basement was actually a whole underground floor on its own. It was rebuilt!

The smell of chemicals was in the air and as Ariana approached the door, she prayed to the heavens that the door should be opened. 

Her heart beat loudly in her chest due to the fear and the adrenaline rush in her body. 

Her father would always lock her up so she didn't think he would leave his laboratory open. 

She just needed to look through some things as she was sure information about her would be in there.

Or she could get something to kill her, in there.

Placing her hand on the doorknob, she twisted it and she let out a gasp in surprise.

"It's opened." She said, in a low tone. Her beating heart slowed down, realizing she had just gone past a hurdle.

Pushing the door open, slowly, she stepped in. However, it was dark in there but she could still see a few red lights on. Of course, the laboratory was powered.

Slowly, she closed the door behind her. As soon as the door clicked close, she ran forward, her eyes roaming around.

There were retort stands scattered all over. Different microscopes were by the sides and even an electron microscope.

However, Ariana didn't care about that. She was looking for death but she didn't know how to get in there. 

Immediately, she spotted a rack at the end of the wall and she dashed toward it. 

However, she halted due to what she saw.

"What is that?" She asked, to no one in particular, pointing at the silhouette on the wall. Her eyes widened as her gaze moved downward. 

"Ahhhh..." She gasped, realizing it was a naked man, chained to the wall.

His head was dangling and she thought that he was dead.

"Hello..." She called out, trying to reach out to him. Of all the things she thought she would see, she didn't expect to see such a scene.

Curiously, she ran toward him and her eyes roamed over him, in wonder and fascination. Looking downward, she realized it wasn't only his head that was dangling.

Swiftly, she closed her eyes and placed her hands on her face.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had not witnessed the sight of a naked man before and she felt strange.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and spread her fingers, peaking through the gaps. She couldn't get enough of the glorious sight before her.

The thoughts of suicide had miraculously disappeared in her head, to resurface later on. 

"Weird..." She said, as she looked downward, again, catching sight of his dangling member. 

Slowly, she moved forward and wanted to touch him.

Her arm moved as she stretched her hand toward him.

She felt brazen at this point and then she touched his chest.

His skin was soft and her eyes widened in surprise. She didn't know how it should feel but then she became more fascinated.

Slowly, her fingers moved downward, toward his abs. Her eyes shone with determination, looking at his member and in the next second, she placed her hand on it.

"Huh? Why is it so soft?" She asked herself, with a frown on her face.

"Hello! Little kitten." A deep voice resounded in Ariana's ears and close to her. She went still as she looked into the most fascinating eyes she had ever seen.
