"Hello, 001. I have heard that you have a little girl at home," Notorium said with a grin, then he turned to his men. Melina's blood ran cold. No no no no.

"W-what are you talking about? I am still a Maiden. I do not have a child!" Melina exclaimed. This made Notorium's grin grew bigger.

"You dare to lie when I am holding her in captive?"

He turned to face a blank wall and pressed a device. Soon, an image appeared by a projector. It was her daughter in an unfamiliar room playing with a man that is foreign to her and seems to be enjoying her time there. Unbeknownst to her, the man inside with her precious baby is a trained killer hired by the scientist.

She turned to the mad Scientist and with pure hatred, glared at him. The man just smiled, amused. He will eventually win, he just knows. He has this way of words that somehow can convince others, with or without their consent. He is a master of manipulations.

"Now, now. We are not going to harm her unless.. You cooperate with us. We promise to take care of her on behalf of you. We will provide her with everything, we can even fund for her when she can go to school. But if you struggle and dare do anything against us, we won't show mercy even if she's a child," Dr. Notorium said with malice. Melina contemplated but for her child's safety, she reluctantly agreed.

And thus the endless experimentation and research begun. She has lost count of how many times she's been pricked by a syringe, fluids being injected in and blood being drawn out of her. Skin being cut open, her teeth being removed and replaced by sharper and stronger metal. Her skin becoming paler by the second, her hair becoming white, her eyes turned into the lightest shade of neon yellow. Somehow along the journey, she became accustomed to pain and embracing it to keep her alive, to keep on living and breathing for her child.

"How did it turned out like this?," she muttered as she falls yet into another unconsciousness, letting the darkness take over wishing that everything was just a dream.
