Nai Hina- China Heart
Floating…..
I was floating in some kind of liquid. I opened my eye and looked around. Darkness. It was the same every day. I would suffer through much pain and that would be it. I didn’t think my china heart could hold out much longer .
My father entered the room glaring at me. He opened the lid of the tube I was floating in and sent down some kind of leech. I clutched onto my arm and I screamed. Suddenly more were put in and my body was sinking in the weight of them. Water ran down my throat as I tried to scream. My oxygen was running out and soon I collapsed into the darkness. I was twitching as the leeches tried to break through my china skin. Blood escaped from my lips and I cried. Tears built up in my glass eye and flowed becoming one with the liquid I spent my time floating in. I watched as my father left the room smiling to himself .
I woke up the next day to find the leeches gone. Inside my tube was a single Oreo. Wet but they were every time. I reached up and grabbed it. The taste felt odd against my tongue but it was all I every got to eat. I wondered what experiment my father would try today. As he walked into the room, the cold look on his face made me wonder if I really was his daughter. His assistant opened the lid and helped me out. At first I was feeble but then I straightened up. The assistant led me to a metal box in another room. Before I could do anything he pushed me into it. The walls started to close in on me and I screamed. Luckily my china skin protected me from any damage but then it started to crack revealing my muscle underneath. Half of the china on my face cracked and I screamed a blood seeped out. I blacked out.
The next day I was back in my tube, Oreo and Everything. I touched the cold glass, wishing hard that it would smash. I glared at it and pain surged up my arm. I screamed and looked down. The item in my hands was heavy and it was sharp. It looked like a chainsaw. I tugged at the leaver and sliced through the glass. Liquid flowed everywhere. Carefully I placed my china foot onto the glass and walked across, tightly holding my chainsaw, when guards stopped me I sliced them. Finally I would get my freedom. The hospital gown I was wearing felt tight against my skin. I kicked open the door and walked outside into the sunlight. There was a man waiting there, he was standing under an umbrella.
“Nai Hina?” He said to me in a smooth voice. I nodded my light brown hair covering my eyes.
“Will you come with me to the MCC?” I nodded again. And followed him into a black car. He sat in the front seat and I sat in back. Next to me was a dark purple box.
“Its for you, It’s a new set of clothes.” I opened it slowly to find a beautiful dark purple Lolita dress. I smiled and put in on. It felt so nice on my skin. Afterwards I clipped my hair out of my eyes with dark purple bows. It felt like I was a new person. I was incredibly happy. This man gave me a new life, or that’s what it felt like. I wondered what the MCC was, I hope it will give me a new opportunity. Finally it felt like my china heart was real.
