Chapter 16

 Chapter 16

I woke up first, I got up and stretch before the others came around. "That felt weird."I said as I notice the others are awake. "I agree, they might be like that for awhile as well."Said Deon. I notice the door is opening and the guards bringing our food and blood. We went over and grab the food and blood. After we ate we put the plates and cups back where we found them. "Are you gaining weight Baxter?" Asks Alex to me. "No, I am eating the same thing as you."I replied as I look at myself. I look like I am gain weight. The guards enter the hut. "It is time for your check up, line up and follows us."Said the guard as we did what we were told. The guard leads us to the Doctor's area, we enter the area. "All you sit down on the chairs."Said the Doctor to us, we did what he asked and sat down on the chairs and kept quiet.

 

"This is a check up on the circuits and other stuff as well."Said the Doctor as he tells us what he is going to do to us. "I am going to do one at a time, the circuits might need to be change again. Alex come over here and lay down on the bed."Said the Doctor as Alex got up and went to the bed and he lay down. The Doctor checked him over and asked him to stand up and go on the scale. Alex did what he asked and the Doctor checks his weight before he tells Alex to go back to the bed. Alex did what he was told once Alex was back on the bed the Doctor turns on the circuit, Alex jumps when he felt the volts, the Doctor watches and he turns it up to the next setting. Alex yelps in pain when he felt the stronger volts.

 

The Doctor turns up the machine again and Alex jumps again before he pass out from the pain, the Doctor turns up the machine and sees Alex jumped again while unconscious. Then he turns off the machine and checks on Alex. "His circuit is still good. If it is not working I will have to sedate you and replace it."Said the Doctor as he motions the guards to take Alex away. The guards did what he asked and they wheel Alex to another room.

 

"Cyan your turn."Said the Doctor to Cyan. Cyan went to the bed and the Doctor did the same thing to Cyan. Once Cyan is back in the bed the Doctor turns on the machine Cyan didn't jump as much as Alex did so the Doctor turn up the volts, Cyan jumped a little before the Doctor turn it on the highest setting. Cyan jumps but didn't pass out. "Yours needs to be replaced, so I am going to sedate you."Said the Doctor as he turns off the machine and gets the needle ready once it is ready he gives Cyan the needle. I notice Cyan pass out really quickly before the guards to take him away in a different room.

 

"Xuan your turn."Said the Doctor as Xuan went to the bed. He does the same thing to Xuan, once he is back on the bed he turns on the machine. Xuan jumps from the volts. The Doctor turns it up and Xuan yelps in pain before the Doctor turns it up another notch and Xuan pass out from the pain. The Doctor turns the machine off and motions the guards to take him away. "Deon your turn."Said the Doctor, as Deon went to the bed, the Doctor did the same check up on him before he turns on the machine. Deon had the same reaction as Cyan he didn't jump at all in any of the settings. So the Doctor gives him the needle and he passes out real fast, the guards bring to the same room as Cyan.

 

"Yakov your turn."Said the Doctor as Yakov went to the bed. He did the same check up. He does the same thing as before as Yakov passes out from the volts. The guard takes him away. "You turn Baxter."Said the Doctor as I went to lie down on the bed. He checks me over before he tells me to stand on the scale. Once I am on there I notice the look on the Doctor face. He writes down my weight before he tells me to lie down on the bed again. "Before I test the circuit on you, have you been eating more food?"Asks the Doctor. "No, I was eating the same amount as the others."I replied. "This is strange, I am going to keep an eye on you just in case."Said the Doctor as he turns on the machine. I felt the volt but not as strong as before. The Doctor did notice that I didn't jump as the others so he turns up the machine to the highest setting and I didn't feel the volts at all. "I am going to sedate you while you are asleep I will do another check up on you as well."Said the Doctor as he gives me the needle which I black out real fast.

 

The Master enters the room. "How are they?"Asks the Master. The Doctor tells him. "Cyan, Deon and Baxter need new circuits. Plus this puzzling Baxter is gaining weight and he is been eating the same amount of food as the others. I am going to do a longer exam on him before I replace the circuit on him." said the Doctor. "OK, so Alex, Xuan and Yakov don't need new ones."Said Master. "They are still out cold in the other room."Replies the Doctor. "OK, you better get started on Baxter."Said the Master. "Will do." said the Doctor as he went to work on me.

 

After awhile the Doctor has done his check up. "Did you find out any more?"Asks the Master. "No, it is puzzling, we better keep an eye on him."Said the Doctor to the Master. "OK, I will leave it to you." said the Master as he leaves. The Doctor wheels me into the operation room and starts to work. After awhile he is down with us. He motions the guards to bring us to a room. "They need to be in the room to wake up and recover before I can test out the circuits on them. The others are awake and they can be brought back to their hut."Said the Doctor.

 

It took about two days before I came around, I looked around and I notice I am in a different room. The Doctor notice I am awake same with the others. "I am going to test out the circuits once that is done you will be brought back to your hut. You will probably will pass out from the volts." said the Doctor as he turns on the machine. I jumped when I felt the volt went thru my body, the Doctor turn up the machine and I scream in pain before he turn up the machine which I passed out from the volt. "The circuit is working on Baxter. I am going to do Cyan and Deon. You can take Baxter back." said the Doctor as he works on them.

 

It took two days before I came around. "Drink this."Said Alex as he helps me with the blood. "Try not to talk yet, go back to sleep. "Said Alex as I fallen back to sleep. "Deon and Cyan are awake as well, they just finished their blood and went back to sleep. I am guessing their circuits need to be replaced."Said Xuan as he looks at us. "I agree, I am sure ours will need to replace as well."Said Yakov. It took another day before we are all fully recovered from the volts.

 

"I never felt that much pain."I said as I stand up. "I agree. I hate when makes me jump like that."Said Cyan as he stands up as well. The door opens and the guards bring us food and blood. We ate in silence and drank the blood, we put the stuff back as the guards take away the plates. "Time to work."Said the guard as we line up and follow the guard to the work area. I notice Valin and Zeger are there still in the trance. The guard leads us to our work area and we start to work. We have found more jewels and another side tunnel as well. After we are done work the lead us back to our hut once inside the guards closes the door and locks it. "I am guessing they are keeping Valin and Zeger there."I said to the others. "I agree, I know I don't want to be there at all."Said Alex. I nodded my head in agreement.

 

I won't tell you what happen during the year, it been the same thing happening every day. Expect that I am bit fatter that the others. I am confused same with the Doctor. "I just don't understand why you are so big."Said Cyan to me. "I know, I am able to work and walk just fine."I replied. I notice the door is opening and the Doctor enters the room. "I am going to check you over Baxter."Said the Doctor. I nodded my head as the Doctor checks me over. He still looks puzzled at this. While he was there I went into a trance. "What is wrong with Baxter?"Said Alex as he notices that I am not really paying attention. The Doctor looks at me just time to see that I went into a trance and collapsed to the floor. After awhile a baby just came thru my stomach, everyone was shocked to see the baby. The Doctor checks over the baby before he hands the baby to the guard. He checks me over again and sees that I am still in the trance. "He will probably will come around on his own. The baby looks like he is human."Said the Doctor to the others.

 

"Do you think it happen when he was abducted last year?"Asks Xuan to the Doctor. "You could be right, the baby will go to the woman to raise."Said the Doctor. "Baxter is waking up."Said Cyan as he notices that I am moving slightly. After awhile I am fully awake and standing. "What happened?"I asked them. Deon told me what I went thru. "Guard shows him."Said the Doctor as the guard came forward with the baby. I was shocked to see a baby.

 

"Xuan is guessing when you were abducted last year they made you pregnant. It took a year to grow inside of you." said the Doctor. "Wow, I never felt the baby at all."I said. The Doctor told me they are taking the baby to the females to raise, which I understand. As the Doctor and the guard leaves. "I am hoping that won't happen again."I said as I sit down. "I agree, I am sure the Doctor will tell the Master and Mistress."Said Deon. "I am sure they will be surprised at this as well." I Said as I sit down again. The others nod their heads in agreement.

 

The door opens and the Master and Mistress enter the room. "The Doctor told me what happen to you Baxter."Said the Mistress to me. I just nodded my head to them. "The woman will raise the baby."Said The Master to me. I just nodded my head to him. "There is no work for you there is exercise for all the huts."Said the Master as he and the Mistress leaves. "I wonder what they will do us this time."I ask the others. "Hard to say, we need to wait and see."Said Alex as he notices the door opening.

 

"Line up and follow us."Said the Guard to us, we did what he asked and he brought us to the sitting area. He motions us to sit down, we find the seats and sit down. I look on the field and I see Valin and Zeger there. They are out of the trance for the exercise. Plus I notice there is a screen in front of us as well. "This is a different kind of exercise for you."Said the Master to us. I look around and I see the other males from the other huts as well. "Valin and Zeger you can move around."Said the Master as he sounds the alarm. They start to move around the room. After awhile I notice they are having trouble walking straight.

 

After awhile I notice they are swaying a bit, while they are walking. Once the swaying is getting too much they stop moving, they are swaying while standing still. "Valin come over here."Said the Master to Valin. Valin walked slowly to where the Master is. Once there he stops walking. The Master gives Valin a needle, which knocks out Valin with his eyes open. The Master tells Valin to go to the wall. Valin did what he asked as he walks like a zombie to the wall. The guards strap Valin to the wall, before the Master does Zeger. After awhile Zeger is in the same state as Valin, before the Master turns on another elixir which makes Zeger and Valin out cold while standing up. Once the gas clears I notice their eyes are still open but they are having trouble standing.

 

The guard enters the room and un-straps, Valin and puts him on a bed, same with Zeger and they wheel them away. "Your eyes will close on their own, you will able to see for a bit before the last elixir takes effect. That happens in a close area. You will be like for awhile."Said The Master as he brings another hut into the area. I was shock to hear this but I kept quiet and watched the other huts went thru what Valin and Zeger went thru.

 

After awhile it was our turn, the guards brought us down to the area. "I want you to move around."Said the Master to us. We did what he asked and started to walk around the room. After awhile I notice the others are swaying while walking, I am starting to sway a bit before the Master calls the others. I stopped moving and swaying a bit more before the Master calls to me. I walked where the Master is and he gives me the needle. "Go to the wall."Said the Master as I walked where I am suppose to be. I felt the straps going on. Once they are on the Master turns on the gas. After awhile everything is a bit fuzzy, and I couldn't stand up any more, the straps are holding me up. Once the Master sees this he turns off the gas and the guards enter and un-straps us and put us on the beds.

 

They wheel us to a room, where it is dark. The Doctor and a guard lift us into a different bed with covers that binds head to foot in binds in a bed. Once that is done the Doctor gives us a mask. "They are ready."Said the Doctor to the Master. "OK. You are going into a chamber for a bit, it will be like death but you won't leave your bodies at all. Once you are awake you will be very confused and weak." said the Master as he turns on the last elixir before I pass out from the elixir.

 

The Doctor checks us over before he closes the door. "They will be in there for a month. Once Valin and Zeger comes around they will be chain up to the wall again, they need to recover from this. Before they go back into that trance state again."Said the Doctor. "OK, after Baxter's hut they are going to help the guards to get the males that are ready to come here." said the Master. "OK. It will be pretty fast month."Said the Doctor. "I better let you get back to work."Said the Master as he leaves.

 

A month went by, I woke up slowly I notice the Doctor looking at me. "Drink this."Said the Doctor as he helps me to drink the blood. After I had my full I went back to sleep. He did the others when he notices they are awake. "They are awake they are sleeping to rid of the elixirs. They will sleep for a couple of days before they are up and about."Said the Doctor. "OK, I will get the guards to get the stuff ready for the new males." said the Master.

 

Couple of days went by, I was awake and standing with the others. The Doctor is checking us over. I see the Master and Mistress entering the room. "How was that elixir?"Asks the Master to us. "It felt weird going into that trance."I said as the others nod their heads in agreement. "I have a job for you and the others."Said the Master as he tells us what we are going to do. I was in shock to hear this but I didn't say anything at all. "Listen to the guards if you try to escape there will be punishment for you." said the Mistress to us.

 

"Once you are back with the males you will return to work." said the Master to us. "You can put these clothes on and it will take awhile for you to come back. The elixirs won't harm you this time around." said the Master. We nod our heads that we understand what they want us to do. "You can go now."Said the Master as I notice the guards standing at the door. We follow them to the carts. "One on each cart." said the Guard as we climb up to sit on the carts. Once we are on they take off.

 

The guard explains what we need to do once the males are in the trance. I nodded my head that I understand what I need to do. It doesn't take that long to get to the first village. "You can come down and wait, sometimes it takes awhile before they are in the trance."Said the Guard as we climb down. I watched the village and I see some males are starting to go into the trance. Once they are in the trance the guard motions me to follow him.

 

I follow him to the first male. "Check his eyes." said the guard to me. I did what he asked and I notice they are cloudy a bit. "They are cloudy."I said to him. "OK, here give him this needle."Said the Guard as he gives me the needle. I take the needle and give him the shot. I hand the needle back to the guard and I went to watch the male. After awhile the male is in the trance. "Take him to the tent."Said the guard as he points to the tent. I nodded my head as I start to help him walk there I hear a woman screaming not to take her son. I just ignore it as I knew the guard will use an elixir on her to keep her quiet. After awhile I hear silence. After I help the male into the tent, the Doctor takes over. "You can go back and help again." said the Doctor. I nodded my head as I leave.

 

I won't go into that many details on each village we stopped at. On the way back I hear one of the males making a sound. I look at the guard to see if he heard it as well. I notice the guard stops the cart and jumps down and checks the males over. He sees the one is making the noise and use a needle on him and he went quiet, then he used it on the other males in case they come around. "Once we get back you are going to help them to the area where they getting the check up."Said the Guard as they climb back up and drive back to where we are living.

 

Once there the males are coming around but still in the trance. We climb down and the guards open the door and we help the males to the area where the Doctor is. Once they are there the Doctor takes over and the guards bring us back to our hut. Once inside they hand back our clothes and we change back and hand the clothes back to the guards. After they take the clothes they close and lock the door. "That is was different, I think they are using different kind of elixir to put the males into the trance."I said to the others. "I agree, we might get one of them, I am hoping he won't be like Valin."Said Cyan as he sits down. "We might get a new male here as well." said Alex. "You could be right, here comes supper."Said Deon as he notices the door opening. The guards bring in the food and blood and the leave. "It will be hard with the new male seeing us drinking blood."I said as I start eating. "I agree, we need to wait and see what happens."Said Alex as he starts to eat. After we are done eating and drink the blood we stand in our spots, after awhile everyone fallen asleep from the sleeping elixir.
