It leads to a hallway, with more papers scattered everywhere, and tools scattered all over the counters. There's a almost silent cry coming from the corner behind the door.
(I'm assuming she hears it..?)
Melanie carefully opens the door, trying to be as quiet as possible.
"H-hello?" She whispers.
There's one of the "doctors' tied up and seems to be injured, his legs and arms are cut to hell. He looks up at Melanie and tries to scamper away from her, but he can't.
"No! No no no no no no no no no!" Melanie scampers into the shadows, curling herself into a ball. "They've come to take me back, to kill me…Don't-d-don't hurt me!"
He looks confused. He looks down at the ropes he's tied in, then looks back up at Melanie. There's bags under his eyes, and his eyes are filled with tears.
"If I let you go, you're going to beat me, and hurt me, and tie me up, and-and you're going to cut me and make sure that I'm tortured before I die a slow death, just like they did to my parents!" Melanie's eyes never left the 'doctor,' and they were both hostile and full of fear.
He hangs his head, and slowly shakes it. He opens his mouth for a moment to say something, but closes it, afraid to get hurt again.
"Was-was there someone here? Was it…" Melanie knew who it was, but she didn't want to believe it. "Was it Reign?"
He nods slowly.
"He-he called me a pest… H-he tied me up, and cut me when I g-gave answer he didn't like… I-i don't even know what's happening anymore… I was tasked to check down here. I'm just the new guy… please… don't hurt me." He starts to cry.
"I couldn't…" Her voice trails off, and she remains in the corner. "Why?" Melanie was asking the question more to herself than the 'doctor.'
"I don't know why…" He barely mutters. A few moments later Reign comes in and looks at the 'doctor.'
"Fucking pest." He turns over to Melanie. "Hello again, my dear guest."
"H-hi Reign. Uh, d-do you consider what you're doing is wrong? Maybe hypocritical?" Melanie kept her eyes on Reign, making sure she didn't end up the same way as the doctor.
"What do you mean?" Reign gives her a look of confusion, and looks at the doctor for a second, who in return tries to scoot away a bit. Reign turns back to Melanie. "Do you mean about them?"
"Uh…yeah…sure…"
"I don't see a problem, simply just getting answers."
"B-by hurting him? He-he said he was new here! And…you're going to kill him!" Melanie braved on. "And this guest doesn't like death. She's seen enough of it already."
"Fine. I'll let him go, if that's what you want." He walks over to the doctor who tries to move away. Reign takes out a knife and spins it, then cuts the ropes. He sticks the knife back in his pocket.
"Thanks." Melanie cautiously walks to the doctor. "I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner…I didn't know…"
He stretches a bit. "T-thank you. I-i don't know how you g-got him to let me go, b-but still… thanks." He leans against the wall, and instantly falls asleep. He was dead tired.
(I have no ideas whatsoever…)
"Oh. O-okay then…"
(That's fine.)
"I guess he wants to rest for a bit. Whatever." Reign leans out the door, looking for Fox, who is just now coming. Fox steps in the room.
"So, what did you find?"
"Uh…You don't want to know…" Melanie is sitting next to the doctor, and she keeps wary eyes on both Fox and Reign.
Fox is kind of surprised when he sees Melanie sitting next to the doctor, but doesn't mention it.
"Ok then? Don't know why I wouldn't want to know but, ok, I trust you."
