The leather around her squeaked as she rolled over, she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and found she was laying on a couch. Staring at the brown scoffed back rest Yara didn't recognize where she was. None of her friends owned anything like it, so maybe she'd crashed on the couch with strangers, but how... or why...? She hadn't been to a party in ages, and the last party she went didn't even really count, it was basically just some pizza's and music and she was home by eleven because all her friends were married with children now and had to relief their baby sitter before midnight.
She sat up and looked around, she wasn't in any body's house, she was in an empty white room with nothing else but the scoffed brown leather couch, there wasn't even a potted plant in the corner. Her clothes were nowhere in sight.
Confused she stood up to inspect the room, but the walls were up close just as white as they were from a distance. She tried to remember how she ended up here, yet she couldn't. She was just living her normal life and now suddenly she woke up in this place.
She sat down on the couch again, eventually someone would come and explain to her what was going right? Yara sat there in silence for a while, far away she could hear something humming, and engine or some heavy machinery.
Eventually the door opened and three women walked in. They wore robes down to their ankles and tool belts filled with medical instruments.
'She's awake.' The one walking in the front said.
'Yeah, that was bound to happen.' Another one said. 'I tell them every time that the assembly line goes at a fixed speed, but they'll keep pushing us and bringing us more input than our factory can handle, so yeah, eventually one of them is going to wake up before it's her turn.'
'What do we do?' The first one asked.
'There's nothing we can do.' The third one said. 'Bitch about how those office workers don't understand what it's like on the factory floor isn't going to help us, they need their quarterly figures, and we just need to get on with it, strap her in. If the assembly line stops the whole batch is ruined and we're going to get fired.' While she was speaking the women stepped forward and approached Yara. She lifted Yara's eyelid and with a little light she flashed her in her face.
'Hi, I'm Yara.' Yara said sticking out her hand. 'Can you tell me what's going on? Why am I here? Where am I even?' Yara laughed uncomfortably.
The woman put the flashlight back in her tool belt. She completely ignored Yara instead she looked over to her two cohorts. 'Let's hurry.' She said. 'Let's do this before she starts to panic, right now she's still somewhat docile at least.'
The two others approached Yara but once they were close they hesitated.
'Do we still need to carry her, or...' The one asked, she titled her head and examined Yara. 'Can you walk?'
'Sure.' Yara said trying to lighten the mood. 'Learned it as a kid and never forgot.'
'Just carry her.' The one who appeared to be their leader said.
The two women now grabbed Yara's arms, they effortlessly hoisted her from the couch and carried her out of the room.
'Who are you?' Yara asked.
None of them answered.
'Well if you're not going to say anything I'm going to guess you're names.' Yara said. 'You look like a Francis to me,' she nodded towards the one holding her left arm. 'And your leader looks like a Daisy.'
The women carrying her giggled.
'She's not our leader.' The one christened Francis said. 'And you better be quite, or else we're going to get fired.'
'Why would I care about your jobs?' Yara said. 'What's going to happen to me?'
They were now at the end of the hallway a door opened and there was a large and very loud factory hall with lots of metal machinery humming and hissing and thumping and screeching. They brought Yara over to a metal platform.
'Sit down.' One them said. They pushed her onto the platform and tugged on her body until she was laying down.
'Hey.' Yara said indignant. 'Don't hurt me.'
They were grabbing her arm and trying to lock her wrist into a metal cuff.
'And don't tie me down.' Yara said. She pull her hand back. tried to sit up and get off the platform, but the three woman together were pinning her down and securing her arms and legs in place.
'Don't do that.' Yara said whining. 'Why are you doing that? What's going on? What's going to happen to me? Why am I here?' She kept on pulling on the metal contraption but nothing would budge.
