"Today's first lot going through" said a man's voice "Transmitting data to the archetypes in…5…4…3…2…1…and transmit." Shock waves then flooded through my body. I'm use to the shock waves, it happens 4 times every day for as long as I can remember. "Is it working?" the same man's voice asked.
"Oh yes. They are almost fully matured…I would even say perfect" this woman's voice was familiar, I had heard it before. "Mother will be pleased" she continued.

She said they, and from what I know they means two. So there must be another person. I wonder if it's their hand I am holding? I am not sure of my surroundings, everything is black but I know there is someone next to me because I'm always holding their hand. When I hold their hand I feel safe, so I never let go because I am scared at what will happen when I let go.

Everything was so peaceful and quiet, and then everything was disturbed by loud screaming alarms. I knew I had to run but I was frozen with fear, I couldn't find the hand that kept me safe. I knew I had to run away.

Then I was relieved to find my safe hand again, it was pulling leads out of my arms and legs, with them removed I found myself more awake. I looked at who my safe hand belonged to, it belonged to a child, a boy in fact. He was my height and had the same colour hair and eyes as me. I think he is by brother.

We ran together hand in hand to find a safe place to hide. The alarms stopped so suddenly like someone turned them off so they could hear properly. I wondered if they were trying to listen for us? Then the alarms went back on. We had to find a way out of here.

We were running down a corridor when we ran into a girl. "Hello?" she said unsurely.
"Um, hello" my brother and I said in sync.
"Who are you?" she asked the both of us.
"Who are you?" we repeated back.
"I'm lost" the girl looked over her solder to see if there were any guards following her.
"I'm lost" we repeated. When the guards were coming our way my brother dragged me to the left down a hall of machines and the girl followed us.

The three of us hid behind a wall as a group of half a dozen guards jogged past us ordering other men instructions.
"Find the archetypes. B squad, C squads maintain the perimeter around the building. Do not let them escape!"
The young girl looked at us "I'm not with them. I can help you…we've got to find a place to hide" She grabbed us and tan towards a room where we would be safe.

"We'll be safe in here for a bit. One place where men never go, sorry for dragging you into the ladies" she said. "Why do men never go into the ladies?" my brother asked.

We heard someone enter the ladies room so we all hid in one of the smaller rooms, hoping that whoever came in wouldn't find us. The door to the little room then flung open and an older women was standing there shocked.

The woman looked at the girl "What are you doing here?" she asked "I could ask you the same thing" my brother and I felt left out so we said 'Hello".
"Who are you? What have they done to you?"
"We knew we had to get away" That is all we knew, that we had to run. We had to act quickly before they found us. The lady helped us climb out of a window that lead to the outside.

'Come on! Quickly!" the woman was taking us to her car, so that we could get out of there. When we got to the car the girl started arguing with the woman about she can't leave her friend.

My brother and I jumped into the back seat of the car, then the woman and the girl hopped into the front. The car started and we went very fast, spinning around, turning and then we exited the compound through the gates.

"But who are they? What were they doing in that factory? What were those people doing to them?" Maria asked. We found out that the young girl was called Maria and the woman was called Sarah Jane.
"It's alright Maria, I've got it. You can go home now"
"But I saw what happened…I saw you last night!"

"What did you say? Sarah Jane turned on the ball of her foot to face Maria. I spoke up without my brother,
"She said she saw you last night" Sarah Jane looked shocked to see just one of us speak,
"With that thing, that alien"

"Now listen to me Maria. My life is dangerous, and rule one I don't put anyone else in danger especially not a kid. Maria you just go back home. Watch telly, you do whatever it takes for you to forget what happened. And you stay away from me, you got that? For your own sake" Sarah Jane grabbed both of us and took her into her house.
