"Who are you?"
Ulrick's eyes widened in shock. The red haired woman who had haunted him for almost a year now was awake. She had always been asleep, kept in suspended animation in a liquid filled tube with wires attached to her. Her red hair, which was probably long enough to reach the middle of her back, floated whimsically around her. Now she was awake, still in the tube with the wires and water, but with her green eyes staring at Ulrick.
"Who are you?" she repeated.
"I'm Ulrick," Ulrick whispered, stepping closer to the glass, "Who are you?"
The girl cocked her head to the side as she thought.
"I.... I think my name is Fable," she said.
It was strange; even though she was immersed in liquid, she could still talk. Little bubbles escaped her mouth when she did. Her eyes and her face were beautiful and mesmerizing. Ulrick pressed his hand against the glass. Fable did the same in the same place. An electric shock passed through Fable's hand, through the glass, and shocked Ulrick. Fable and Ulrick both flinched back. The shock brought Ulrick back from his trance.
"Where are we?" he asked as he looked around him.
They were in a lab. Beepings and bleeps resonated against the cold steel walls. Scientists in long white lab coats were all around, working on computers, taking notes, and looking at charts. Ulrick turned back to Fable and gasped. Her eyes were blood red, and she had a blank look on her face as though she was in a trance.
"Fable?" Ulrick asked nervously
"Someone's there," she said, ignoring Ulrick.
"Where?" Ulrick asked, looking around. Aside from the scientists that somehow failed to notice them, no one else was there.
"Get away from it!" she said loudly.
Ulrick looked around again, making sure no one had noticed. The scientists remained oblivious.
"Fable, wha...," Ulrick began.
"STOP! GET AWAY!!" Fable shrieked.
Chaos broke out. Machines and alarms started going out throughout the lab. Scientists scurried about, shouting orders and information at each other.
"Brain waves are off the charts!"
"Vitals are extremely high!"
"Pump some sedatives into that tank!"
"Call the tech lab. Tell them to get away from that robot NOW!"
Ulrick watched in confusion as these orders were carried out. One scientist injected an IV that was fed into the tube with fluid. Almost immediately after, Fable passed out. Ulricks own eyes began to get dark around the edges, and he felt himself falling.
