Not Afraid

Caroline's last thoughts as she is activated as Echo.

DISCLAIMER: Dollhouse doesn't belong to me....i just like the characters. :)

I am not afraid

As I am laid into that chair

As you said, actions do have consequences

And this is my obeisance

The room is cool

An artificial breeze that permeates the body

And generates soft bumps across the skin

Brain activity works better at cooler temperatures

Thus easing the imprint process

Or so the blond-haired man says

I don't understand it all

But it doesn't matter

I'm your pawn now

Funny, how I'm here

Saving fluffy puppies….

Laughable, really

Like those fluffy puppies, I'll be at your beck and call

Always happy, always vacant

The chair leans back

And electrical whirring buzzes about my cranium

I am not afraid

Because I am Caroline

No more
