Winter Part 5

Even now, Doctor Stanley had informed her that today will be the last time that she will be injected with another poison. Her father's newest creation. And she was the only human tester to test it.

It was crystal blue. Beautiful in a way that it was so terrifying. The feeling of the poison inside her was like glacial. Cold, too cold in her veins that left a slightly electrifying sensation to her body. She was confused as to feel the absence of the anticipated pain, but Doctor Stanley just smiled at her.

Instead he said,"There, you can go now."

Again, she was confused.

Where will she go?

But before she could ask, two scary men entered the room. She slowly backed away from them. The last time she saw people like them, they forcefully laid her in a bed.

Will they going to drag her into another room?

Aurora didn't know that she was hyperventilating until Doctor Stanley came to her side and tried to calm her down. But he could not, so he ordered the men to wait outside and faced the now teary-eyed Aurora.

"Shhhh Dont cry." The Doctor said trying to calm her down.

Aurora looked at him as he continued to talk.

"They will not going to put you into another room. They are here to escort you back to your new place. Away from here and away from these. Okay?"

Aurora nodded to the Doctor, but she couldn't understand what was happening. He then gave her a new kind of clothes. Aurora stared at it for a moment, not believing for what she was seeing. It was a thick jacket. With furs around the hood and the cuffs on the wrist. It was paired with the same thickness of a pants. Aurora can say just by looking at it that it will consume her small body.

"Dont you like it?" Doctor Stanley asked her. Aurora looked at the Doctor then back at the clothes.

She took the clothes and went to the small bathroom inside the room. She removed her only clothing and then put the white sweater that was too big for her. Her fingers couldnt even see in the jacket for the sleeves are too long for her arms. When she put the pants, it was also too big for her small waist and hips. She had to fold the holder multiple times before it could fit her small form. Then when she put the big thick jacket, it completely consumed her.

When she walks out of the small room to see Doctor Stanley, the older man laughed at her. Aurora have no idea on why the Doctor was laughing. She just stared at him and wait for him to sober up.

"Come here." Doctor Stanley beckoned her. Aurora walked towards the Doctor. She yelps in surprised when he suddenly lifted her up and put her carefully in the single white bed.

"Good god! You looked strange wearing that clothes. Wow, I couldn't even recognize you."

Aurora kept silent.

"Do you still remember this?" The Doctor asked, showing her the necklace that her mother had given to her when she was still a baby. Aurora nodded, staring intently at the pendant. It was a tiny bottle of rose perfume. Her mother's most precious possession – Auroras only memory of her.

Aurora have no knowledge until now that it was taken from her. All her stay in this prison hell was solely focused on her pain and sufferings. Now that she knew about its absence, she wants it back but too scared to voice it out.

"Its yours again. Your father had refrained me from returning it to you but now, since you are leaving this place, I thought to give it back. Just dont let your father see it on you, can you do that?"

Again, Aurora nodded.

Good. The Doctor clasped the necklace back on her neck. There, he even put the necklace inside her clothes just to make sure it was already safe from exposure.

Aurora stared at the man looking at her.

Aurora could see the guilt, pity, and shame in his eyes. They were there, lurking behind his glassy blue eyes.

"Thank you." A soft, hesitant and too small voice came from Aurora's mouth. The Doctor was too stunned to even notice that he was crying just by hearing the voice of the broken angel in front of him. It was the very first time that he hears her angelic voice again. The very first time she talked to him.

God. How could he destroy the life of this angel? How could she thank him after his inhuman treatment on her? Ever since he dragged her here, hes been carrying the guilt that he felt for her.

Stanley didnt stop himself anymore. He embraced the young lady in front of him and cried all the things that he had done to her.

Aurora on the other hand, stiffened. Feeling strange and uneasy for the sudden physical contact from another person. It has been years since someone had embraced her and it was the last goodbye of her mother.

Before he freed her, Doctor Stanley tightens his embrace and put his mouth before her ears. Aurora then grew more uneasy at the sudden action of the Doctor on her. She tried to struggle from his tightened hold but stopped when she heard his whispered words.

"Take care of the necklace. It might save you one day."

She stared stunned at the Doctors words. He then loosened his embrace from her and patted her head.

"Now go on. In a month's time, you will be free from this hell. But I can't tell, if the place you will going to will be heaven or worse than hell.
