Worlds Apart

You stare blankly at the book open in front of you, reading the words without actually taking any of them in. There's a pit of dread deep in your stomach, though you're not quite sure what's causing it. You seem to have the feeling that this is when everything will change.

When the door opens, you look up, fully expecting to see the head scientist. You're surprised when the librarian comes back into the room, followed by a woman who looks identical to you, save for a scar running down one side of her face.

The woman pauses and looks at you, then at the librarian. "This is the one?" She doesn't sound too pleased by it, for some reason.
