PROLOGUE

"Why is this happening? Why can't you just leave me alone?!"

The scream of frustration echoed around the high walls and high ceiling in the otherwise empty room. Nothing but a bed to sit on, a mirror to look into, books to read, and thoughts to consume the mind. A sigh was released after the effort of the scream; a resonating sigh. There was no sense in trying to reason with all of them. That's what happened when free will was given over to help further technological advancement. Talked about but never achieved. Medicines, technology, different things would make life easier for everyone around the world. That was fine, right? What they were doing was helping everyone else so why should they not be able to sacrifice something to get there?

And that's why he was there. He as the guinea pig who was tested on to see if they had managed to do the unthinkable. A new type of medication? He was stuck with it and was put on 24-hour surveillance to document the side effects. New sort of technology? He was the one who had to sit there and use it until any bugs were uncovered or there were any flaws in the security system. At first he said he would do anything to help the resistance, do anything to get rid of their existence. To get rid of them all together. He enjoyed theline of work at the beginning, knowing they were finally going to get what was theirs back.

Then again, the more he worked on it, the more he started to wonder about them. What were their lives like? How was it different from the way he lived his life? Where they harmful to the lives around them? Or were they helpful. You weren't supposed to start thinking. If you started thinking, you started to question everything.

He questioned everything and now he wasn't so sure if what they were doing was worth it. These were innocent people who had their own lives and had gotten used to those lives and now they were potentially taking it all away from them? Forcing them to try and relearn how to be 'normal'.

Now he wanted out.

They said it was a good thing they were doing.

He hoped they were right.

A/N: Yep, after a month off I'm back to writing! And now I can do the last story in my trilogy. Though looking back on the first two (this one being done almost a year later and the first one being done probably two or three years before) I can see my improvement as I went along with them. It's kind of weird, but you can easily see where my ideas shifted. Anyway, this is the prologue, I'll have the first chapter up soon, and I'll have a cover photo/fic cover up here and on twitter soon.

Also, I need to thank tiger002, Crystal, and Rhu for giving me ideas for this story.

Cheers,
