Sancha

Caeta awoke, but found her eyelids to heavy to open easily. She tried to lift a hand upto them to rub away the deep sleep but found she couldn't. As her mind quickly started to awaken she realised she was lying naked and uncovered on what felt like stone, she tried her other arms and legs and felt the cool touch of metal bindings. Panic quickly rose in her chest, and finally she managed to prise her eyes open, letting out a yelp at the sight they brought her. She was in one of the labs she'd be shown in her tour of the city, but not one she'd worked in. Her eyes examined the devices around her, and in horror her eyes followed the paths of the various pipes and tubes connected to them until she was looking down at herself. She was connected to them! The sight brought the sensation of their intrusion to her mind and it told her that there were many that she couldn't see. Caeta started to wriggle and struggle against the bonds in a panic, sobbing and telling herself it was just a bad dream.
"Ah, Miss Sunstrand your awake, good" She froze and looked around for the source of the voice.
"The other subjects started expiring so quickly that we felt it neccessary. It is a pity, you could've proven to be of use for awhile yet, but your leaders insisted we go ahead and that delay was impossible." Her eyes could only make out a clawed, pallid hand resting upon a lever.
"Pl-plh-please...d-dh-don't, l...let me go..pl..." She was interrupted by a dry, slightly manic cackle.
"No, dear, that isn't going to happen. This is the reason you were brought here after all. You were the only person of noble blood that volunteered I was told. You should be a much more interesting subject then the rabble your leaders rounded up"
The hand pulled the lever down and the machines around her bubbled and clunked into life. Tubing twitched as chemicals were pumped into them, or as they began to fill with her life blood, as they drew it from her. Her eyes slammed shut and she screamed.

It was only the first of many experiments she would be put through. For years the apothecaries ran test after test, experiment after experiment on her. Eventually using her in other projects, such as researching into ways of creating a race of servants and slaves through a mix of alchemy and shadow fuelled mind spells. They were disappointed to find this only created a separate personality. They named it 'Stutterer' due to the fact it was so meek and nervous around people it would stutter uncontrollably. They had it serve them meals and run errands when Caeta was not needed in the labs and it was deemed a partial success. Another project had a similar effect, creating a further personality that fed off instincts and aggression. They had to teach and aid her in locking it away as it soon started to become the dominant personality and had managed to severely injure several apothecaries, again it was deemed a partial success.

Eventually the time came for the next stage of the project. To see if the subject could survive in the real world. so they released a confused Caeta into the world, with strict instructions to return once a week for on going treatments.

(( Finally done...and probably needs alot of proof reading but still, yay! ))
