The Matriarch

Chapter 1 Segregation

When Chris stepped inside the huge tube-like mechanism the machine's arrowhead started going haywire. Scientists were baffled looking at one another, murmuring to themselves all the while giving glances towards him.

All he could do was force a smile as he felt so awkward right now, being stared upon by several people wearing white lab coats while wearing only a very thin piece of white underwear.

It was obvious that everyone was awe-struck seeing as how the system was acting up because of him. But that didn’t stop them from writing down their notes on the find.

“Mister Cruz, please step out of the chamber so that we may now proceed with the other tests,”

Chris was only able to nod, feeling really awkward at the moment. The people around him didn’t even care to give him a robe, only interested in proceeding with their work as fast as possible.

All he could do was cover his arms around himself, wanting to at least hide a bit of his scrawny little body. He was guided next to a large white chair with straps on both hand and feet rests.

“Excuse me, what’s this for?” Chris could not help but ask, feeling uncomfortable and wary because he thought the device looks more like a torture machine rather something for a medical facility.

“Just sit down,” One of the soldiers assisting him said with a firm face.

Chris swallowed hard, though Chris wasn’t able to see his eyes behind those dark sunglasses, he could feel the man’s stare piercing through him. Intimidated all he could do was to follow those orders, not wanting to get into trouble.

The chair felt cold to the skin as the leather has not been used for some time, it seemed he was the only person being checked right now, he wasn’t really surprised since all the others in his group were already cleared from their first test, as he was considered one of those special cases.

A whimper escaped him as the straps were tightly locked in place, fully immobilizing him. Spreadeagled on the said chair, he was now staring at the darkness of the high ceiling that was there, heart pounding as he did not remember a test being done like that to the others.

“Begin internal body probe.” An electric-sounding voice echoed within the tile-covered room.

“Wait, what’s going on?” Chris screamed in panic as the men around him started ripping his underwear off, fully baring his naked body for all to see. “Why are you doing this to me?” he whimpered as the men started walking away. “What’s going to happen? Hey!” He tried calling out to the personnel as everyone started exiting the room.

Instead of answers, several strong spotlights were opened from each side of the ceiling, blinding him. Chris screamed in fear and surprise from being suddenly exposed. Though he was unable to see everything, he still manages to make out the room's interiors.

The whole place was covered in large polygon-shaped metallic tiles, three large mirrors surrounded the upper part of it on each side facing him.

Chris felt so exposed, humiliated, and violated when he finally noticed numerous people that were looking at him, though he wasn’t able to make them out, seeing only figures, he was quite sure that the silhouettes belong to scientist, politician, and high ranking officers, wanting to take a look at him.

He could not help the sweat trickle down his face, as his heart throbbed in panic and terror from not knowing what was about to come.

His body shook, eyes widening in horror as he suddenly felt his whole body go cold from fear. Seeing the large mechanism descending towards him from the ceiling.

It was the large disc that they used on the captured monsters, complete with its attachments of syringes, circular saw, shock sticks, and other dismantling devices used for dissecting creatures.

“Wait, what’s going on! Please, someone help, someone, please!” Chris started screaming, twisting and turning to try to budge out of the contraption that he was held on when the whirring sound of the mechanism started filling the whole room.

But the thick metallic clamps on each of his arms and legs, along with together with the leather straps kept him in place.

“No! Please no!” he cried, tears flowing along with his cold sweat as the device kept getting closer and closer to him.

His screams and cries fell on deaf ears as several syringes began piercing his skin simultaneously, when that was over, a part of his skin was suddenly removed by the saw almost making him faint. He could feel the pain boring through his bones as it seemed to travel all over his body.

Whimpering, Chris tried to savor the few seconds of peace and quiet when the machine finally stopped. He didn’t care if his whole body ached, as he was already panting from the lack of breath from all the screaming that he had done.

“Fuck!” The loud word came out like a piercing cry, echoing all over the place, when something cold, hard and long was inserted in his behind, together with a tube that quickly attached itself at the head of his genitals like some kind of vacuum, and a suction looking cup that covered his mouth with smaller tubes attached to it that kept twirling inside his mouth.

Eyes rolling to the back of his head as his toes curled and his body convulsed when the mechanism began vibrating and sucking, sending an awkward, cold, and humiliating feeling inside of him.

Everything stopped when the machine had finally collected every specimen and fluid within his body. Chris felt so degraded as he was left there full of tears, gasping for air after the procedure.

He was able to let out a breath of relief, relaxing a bit as the machine started ascending back to where it came from.

“No more, please no more!” he sobbed when red lights started swirling around the whole place. A sign that everything was not yet over for him.

Another piercing wail echoed within the whole room that came from Chris as he receives an electric shock that came from two metallic rods that suddenly propped up on his sides.

Chris was no longer able to bear the pain and exhaustion finally surrendering his body as he slowly lost consciousness. His sights began turning blurry as the sound of the electronic voice started surrounding the room once more.
