The Monsters We Are

Cold water was poured on the sleeping face of a woman, instantly waking her. Her whole body was drenched, from her brown hair down to her red shirt. She could only shiver while the person in front of her grabbed her chin, looking straight into her eyes. "What's your name?" The man asked, not caring if she was shivering. His grip tightened on her chin as it took her longer to answer. "I'm waiting." He continued, staring at her. "I...I don't remember." She answered, quivering softly, searching her memory for a name or maybe even a letter that she could claim as hers. "V! The first letter of my name is V!" V exclaimed, a small smile almost forming on her lips. "Good enough", the man said to her, shoving a white dress, followed by white shoes onto her hands. "Wear this and don't make any noise." "Yo Zed, we're good over here. She doesn't remember a thing", the stranger hollered to another man, inspecting another woman. V looked around and realized she was not the only woman in the room. It might have been because she just woke up that she failed to notice the other people in the room. It was strange, she was usually very perceptive of her surroundings even if she just woke up from her sleep. And she was strangely calm. Was it a drug? Was she drugged? And if she was, why is she not doing something or anything to the people inspecting her? Head to toe, they don't look anything like a doctor or someone even remotely going to help. They are probably the people who drugged her and the other women around her. "GATHER ROUND PEOPLE", the man called Zed, shouted. "AND LISTEN UP BITCHES, I'M ONLY GONNA SAY THIS ONCE." V wanted to drown out the shouting. "YOU GIRLS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AND ARE PRIVILEGED TO JOIN THE HUNT. SO WEAR THOSE WHITE DRESSES AND SHOES SO YOU CAN IMPRESS THE COLLECTORS. Y'ALL BETTER GET SELECTED, EACH ONE OF YOU, IF NOT, YOU DIE. UNDERSTOOD?" Zed's speech was answered with silence. "DID YOU BITCHES UNDERSTAND? GIVE ME A f*****g REPLY!", He continued to shout and a few soft voices responded. "GOOD, MUCH MORE CALM THAN THE LAST BATCH. ANYWAYS, WEAR THE DAMN CLOTHES WE GAVE EACH ONE OF YOU. IN 30 MINUTES, YOU WILL ALL BE HUNTED. SO DO YOUR BEST TO GET PICKED." "
