I freeze in a moment of stunned silence, before I start scrambling to get my restraints off. It doesn’t take long to do so, they are just simple Nylon-like straps that are firmly held in place by wire ties. As I am doing this I am also keeping my ears open to sounds and movement on the floor above me, I don’t think anyone heard the commotion, but I also don’t want to be caught flat footed if they did.

After about a minute or so of fiddling with the restraints I am finally free of them, but I am far from out of the woods just yet. I stand up and look around, it is indeed a basement or some equivalent and is just chock full of scientific equipment with the chair I was restrained to in the direct middle of the room.

The room itself is rather large, maybe twenty feet by thirty feet with a good ten or fifteen foot ceiling. There are no adjoining rooms, well none that I can see anyway and other than the plain wood door leading to what I assume is stairs leading up and the massive amount of previously mentioned equipment I see nothing more of interest.

Though I can identify a few of the machines sounding me; heart monitor, Electrocardiogram and even an Intravenous pump system. It’s odd though, you don’t really see these outside of a hospital, mostly due to the expense of the systems and the knowledge needed to program and run them. Whoever it is that was using me as a test subject must…. Be…..well…..

Fuck.

If my captor has all this Expensive equipment, then they are from a very well off family or connected to some type of government department or or chain of command with a good amount of influence and money. Which is very bad for me as I just whacked said person over the head with a very heavy and very dense object. Much as I don’t care about the person who tied me to a chair and has likely been experimenting on me for the entire time I have been out like a light, I also don’t want to be hunted like a wild animal should they be dead or bleeding out.

I look back towards the chair and then behind it, laying there on the ground is, well I don’t know how to explain it. The shape is Humanoid, but that’s where it ends. It, no she definitely a she, has a Violet, almost Purple, fur on her body and a protruding snout with large-ish eyes. She has two arms ending in humanoid fingers and two Unguligrade legs ending in what I can only suspect is hooves.

What’s odd, well more odd, is that she is wearing a very...Form fitting school girl-ish uniform that accentuates her curves in a very beautiful way. On top of her head, just above her eyebrows is what I can only guess is a Horn or some other bone-like protrusion.

As I look at her head I can see where I hit her, it looks just as bad as I expected. There is a large Gash, though it’s not bleeding very much so she won’t bleed to death at least. But I suspect that she is going to have a major headache when she comes too. Serves her right in the end, I am not a test subject that one can study just because I look different.

I spin back around and start making my way towards the door she came though, with closer inspection it is as I though a wooden door but with iron barding running from left to right and from top to bottom. It almost reminds me of those old castle doors you see in pictures, the ones that are designed to be used as holding points when the castle is under attack. There seems to be a pull handle in place of a doorknob but I kind of expected that by the way the door looks.

I reach out and grab the handle and very slowly start pulling the door open, it gives low creaking noise as the hinges move but otherwise its smooth. Once the door is fully open I can see a short hallway that leads to a short staircase that ascends a good five or six feet to another door of the same type I am holding open. So chances are this next door either opens out onto the outside of the building above me or, and this is more likely, it opens to the inside of the building I am under.

I am hoping more for option two as I begin climbing the stairs, it would mean I would be less exposed to hostile elements and would give me an opening to…..liberate some food if possible before I attempt to retreat to the forest I was in before being knocked out. It may have been giving me a bad feeling, but at this point I feel more welcome in it, then I am here.

I can now see a bit of light coming from under the door now that I am less than a foot from it, so it is a toss up as to where it leads, though I am guessing to an interior by the amount of light. I reach the top of the stairs and subsequently the small landing in front of the door and as i do I lean into it and listen for movement for a time. It is only a minute or two later of listening and getting no noise that I step back and out of the way of the door so I can open it.

I pull the handle and it slowly opens with a creak even WORSE then the one before. I flinch at the sound but keep slowly opening it, the worst that can happen is that the other sets of foo-hoof falls that I think was other persons that came into the building with the girl down below. The door fully opens and I am treated by the very last thing I expect to see, it's a bloody LIBRARY!

What in the bloody Fuck is this shit, I was under a Library this entire time! How, no WHY does a Library have such expensive medical equipment in it’s basement…...was I held captive and tested on by a Librarian? That makes no sense, the equipment alone likely costs as much, if not more than every single book on each and every shelf in here! This makes no sense, none whatsoever.

Oh fuck it, I just need to get out of here before something else happens and then and only then can I try and parse out what in the actual fuck is going on. Okay, look around and what do I see, hmm a lot of books, a stairway leading up to my left and…..Ah ha a Door that more than likely leads out of this confusing hellhole!

I need to be careful though, even a slight look at the floors tells me they are wooden and wood means creaking. Okay one foot at a time, slow and steady closer, closer…...Okay now quickly but quietly open the door and….

Creeeeeaaak

Gah! Does no one oil these door hinges or do they get some sick pleasure out of the sound! Right light is now streaming in from the open door and I am out! I am Free! Now just to sneak away without bei-

“Hey, where do YOU think you are going monster!”

…..Fuck.

Author's Note

Okay a bit late, but I got the Rewrite done and I am happy with it. Though the downside is the next two chapters have to go though the same type of editing

Anyway Enjoy the chapter and if anyone spots issues let me know
