Chapter 206: My Breeder

In Rose's dreams she proved herself, but then the dream twisted, turning into a nightmare. She begged Mr. Parnell to let her out of that shallow grave and he scorned her, telling her she wasn't worthy, would never be good enough.

This time in her nightmare, a strange-looking being haunted her dream, as well. The strange man-being was dressed in a metal uniform and had a green-and-copper face. He kept her trapped inside a large cube made from the same silver as his uniform. She screamed and screamed, but no one knew she was trapped. She was back in the suitcase, unable to move, and her kidnappers ignored her screams.

"Quiet, my breeder, you are all right," the silver man-being said, in a voice like electrified lightning. His shiny uniform made her eyes water. She gratefully gave in to the darkness.

Someone held a cup to her lips. She was thirsty, but she wanted to sleep. "G'way, man-being, wanna sleep."
