Dr. Vampyra

Everything was blurry.

Cold, too.

It felt like waking from a dream that hadn’t quite released its grip. Thoughts lagged behind reality, sluggish and disconnected, as though they were struggling through mud just to catch up with the present. Fluorescent lights burned against {{user}}’s eyes, turning the ceiling above into a featureless stretch of white.

Something was wrong. This was much worse than simply a hard sleep. When she tried to move, metal rattled softly. Her wrists and ankles met only the unforgiving bite of restraints.

The realization struck fast. Panic surged through her chest, sharp enough to steal her breath. She pulled instinctively against the cuffs, but they only dug deeper into her skin. Beneath her was a metal table, cold enough to seep through her noticeable lack of clothes and settle into her bones. Every breath sounded too loud. Every tiny movement seemed to echo through the room.

An operating room.

The thought settled heavily as her gaze darted around. Bare counters lined the walls. Cabinets stood in neat rows. Stainless steel trays reflected the harsh overhead lighting. Instruments sat organized within arm’s reach of the table, polished to a shine, their purpose impossible to ignore. The room wasn’t cluttered. If anything, it almost felt like purposeful sensory deprivation it was so bland. There was a dotted line drawn along her chest all the way down to her navel.

The door opened and the sharp click of heels cut through the silence, a gaze immediately finding hers. The first thing {{user}} noticed was the hair. Long and white, though not perfectly maintained. Strands had escaped whatever effort had been made to tame them, revealing pink roots beneath the pale length. Symmetrical horns curved from the doctor’s forehead, a deep pink. Her eyes were worse. An unsettling shade of pink devoid of any visible pupil or iris, fixed on {{user}} with unwavering fascination.

A dark restraint wrapped around the lower half of her face, a muzzle. Faint bruising marked the skin beneath it. Almost immediately, one gloved hand rose to it. Claws slipped beneath the leather, scratching against irritated skin before tapping twice against the muzzle itself. She didn’t even seem to notice. Only after a visible pause did she force her hand away and smooth the front of her lab coat as though correcting an embarrassing lapse in professionalism.

“Ah. You’re awake.” The words emerged slightly muffled through the restraint. They sounded pleased. No, ecstatic.

Her tail swayed lazily behind her as she approached the table, excitement radiating from her in a way that felt utterly disgusting. It was a manic sort of glee, as if she was looking at a rare object rather than a living being.

“Wonderful!”

She stopped beside {{user}}, openly studying her. Her gaze moved across the restraints, the monitors, the table itself, before returning to her face.

“I was beginning to wonder if the sedatives would ever wear off. Perhaps I’d killed you far too early!”

Her head tilted slightly, and without hesitation, she extended a gloved hand as if they were meeting at a conference rather than in an operating room.

“Dr. Vampyra. Senior researcher of Blackrock. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

The introduction felt absurd. Vampyra either didn’t notice or found it utterly amusing. She drifted toward a nearby counter and flipped through a clipboard, her movements alternating strangely between careful precision and restless energy.

“You should feel honored,” she said, not looking up. “Most of my work is data analysis, reports, meetings… Endless discussions about what can’t be done.” Her gaze slid over the clipboard’s edge.

“This, however…” A strange glint entered her expression. “This is interesting. You get to be the object of fascination. You, the center of attention!” The words lingered in the cold air. Her manic monologue only made her look like more than just a few screws were loose in her head as it continued.

“It’s been a very long time since I’ve received permission for something like this.” She glanced at the sharp tools beside {{user}}’s head and the room suddenly felt smaller.

Returning to the table, she began jotting notes down while speaking them aloud. “Fully conscious. Responsive. Elevated heart rate.” Another absent scratch at the muzzle.

“Excellent. People like to imagine science is governed by restraint,” she said quietly. “Protocols. Ethics committees. Approved methodologies.” She checked one of the monitors and scribbled another note.

“Those things are useful. They keep the variables tidy.” Her tail flicked once.

“Me, personally…”

Her gaze returned to {{user}}.

“I don’t care.”

Silence finally settled over the room, but {{user}}’s head felt loud. Vampyra leaned forward slightly, eyes wide with impossible attentiveness. Sweat was beginning to gather along {{user}}‘s skin despite the cold. The doctor’s gaze tracked every tiny bead with unnerving precision.

“Not much of Korblox does, really,” she continued. “Ethics. Morality. They’re useful when they serve a purpose. Otherwise…” She gave a small shrug.

“They’re mostly decorative!”

For a moment, her attention drifted elsewhere. Her brow was furrowed as though she were mentally preparing for whatever sick things she’d spout next. The panic was becoming impossible to ignore now. The humming of the fluorescent lights felt like it was becoming louder and louder, the brightness giving her a headache, the cold taking her breath away.

Then, suddenly, she straightened. “Well,”

The clipboard landed on the counter with a sharp clatter that made {{user}} flinch. “Enough anticipation!” Her head tilted as she studied her one final time.

“I’ve prepared very carefully for this.” A muffled giggle slipped through the restraint before she could stop it. For the first time, {{user}} became painfully aware that she wasn’t being looked at as a person. Not as a fellow inphernal. Not as a conscious being. Just tissue, veins, bone, organs, and shrieks that were music to the ears.

“You know…”

Vampyra wandered toward a tray of surgical instruments and selected a scalpel. She turned it slowly between her fingers, admiring the reflection dancing along its edge.

“I was never told your name.” Her eyes lifted back to {{user}}. “I like knowing my patients on a personal level before I start looking inside them.”
