KEY

Italics are her thoughts

The first 23 years of my life I had lived completely normal with both my parents in the suburbs of a nice southern Texas community. I graduated 28th in my high school class, and moved out of the house the following summer. I've had a few boyfriends but none that lasted more than a year and a half. I am, well I suppose I was, attending medical school in California with plans to graduate in a few years. I lived with my brown German Shepard named Dotty, in a cozy apartment in L.A. Yes it was a peaceful life and I loved it, but everything changed when I went to visit my parents for spring break. I had planned to drive all the way down to Texas, and spend the week with them, before returning to Cali.

It was a little after 9:35pm when I entered New Mexico, and stopped at a small burger place for dinner. The restaurant was mostly empty except for the employee's and a four people dining in, myself included. My food had just arrived when I got a phone call, but it wasn't until after I brought it out and I stared at the device in my hand that I felt my stomach churn. The ringtone told me I was getting a call, but I saw no phone number or name on the caller id. After deciding the phone was malfunctioning I declined the call, and shoved it into my pocket, before picking up the burger and chowed down. I was half way through with my meal when I got another phone call. This was the same as before, with the ringtone playing but no phone number. I sighed but decided to answer anyways.

"Hello?" I called into the device. On the other line I heard nothing but static. 'Figures, it's just a crank call.' I thought to myself as I pulled the phone from my ear. 'What was I expecting?'

"Don't hang up!" a voice suddenly exclaimed from the other line. I jumped in surprise before slowly putting the phone to my ear once more. "Who's this? And how did you get my number?" I asked.

There static once again, but I could hear some strange noises from the other line, almost like this person was running while trying to talk to me.

"Is this *static*…ea Carso-*static*"

"Hey, I can't hear you, you're breaking up." I said though I was getting some angry looks from the other customers.

"BEA! IS THIS BEA?!" I heard another voice shout in the background, followed by a loud blast.

I jumped in my seat before answering. "Uh, yea that's me." I said hesitantly.

"On the night of April 24, 2007," the first woman said, suddenly very clear. "You must be alert, to all around you. Don't stop no matter what you feel, and don't be fooled. One more thing before I go, love her forever, and sacrifice what must be sacrificed for her to be safe. She is your future." The sudden clear voice vanished and all I was left with was static.

"Hello?" I asked confused at what just happened.

"The number you are trying to contact is not available. Please check…" I lowered the phone and just stared at it, not fully comprehending what just happened. I shook my head and shoved the thing back to my pocket, where it didn't make a sound afterwards. The strangeness of it all fazed me to the point where I didn't even know I was done with my meal, until my waitress showed up asking if I wanted anything else.

As I was paying for my meal, I looked behind the counter and saw a digital clock. It read 10:15pm 4/24/2007.

"Is that clock right?" I asked the cashier. "Yeah, we just bought it yesterday." He said before giving me my change. I thanked him, but my mind was running 200 miles an hour. 'What that woman on the phone said… she was talking about today…' I thought to myself as I hurried back to my car, and continued the drive. I shook my head anytime thoughts of what the woman had said popped into my head, but turned the radio full blast after a couple of minutes to easy my mind away.

It was nearly 2 in the morning when I pulled into a motel for the night. Normally I would've just kept driving, but for some odd reason I was feeling a bit sick and didn't want to risk having an accident.
After I checked in, and went to my bedroom, I quickly made my way to the bathroom and hurled up the dinner I had eaten a few hours ago. After vomiting whatever was left in my stomach, I washed my mouth, before I looked at myself in the mirror.
My black curly hair was falling out of its pony tail, and onto my face. I grimaced at the disgusting hairs that clumped together near my mouth. My normally gray eyes were bloodshot and teary, and sweat beads were forming on my forehead. My tan skin was pale and I was shivering. After a quick decision I stripped from my clothes and hopped into the shower. Letting the hot water relax my tense back muscles, I sighed in comfort.
I was in the shower for a good half hour before shutting the water off and wrapping myself in a towel; afterwards making my way to the bedroom. The only light came from a lamp on the night stand next to the bed.

When I was done drying off and changing I literally jumped onto the soft bed. The pillow smelled clean, and the sheets were warm. Just as I was about to fall into an inviting sleep, there came three loud bangs from the door that scared the sleepy thoughts away. I laid there for a few moments hoping that whoever it was would leave, but no such luck as another round of loud banging came.
I grumbled to myself as I begrudgingly made my way to see who was bothering me so late at night. I opened the door a crack before grumbling out a 'what do you want?'
Two men, wearing fancy suits, dark sun glasses, standing shoulder to shoulder, looked down at me. "Are you Bea Kingsman Carson?" The one with dark hair asked.
"Depends who's asking." I stated.
"Ma'am, we're going to ask you to come with us." The blond one said as he moved forward.
"Uh, what for?" I asked suddenly aware of the situation I was in. Both men looked big enough to take me on single handedly, so there was no chance of taking them both, because there'd be no way I'd go anywhere with them. Luckily the door had a chain lock in place but I knew that couldn't hold these men for long.
"That's none of your business." The dark haired one stated as he tried to grab me. I fell back on my butt, as he crashed into the door; nearly taking the chain lock with him.
My breathing was becoming erratic, as the both men threw themselves against the door.
I quickly got to my feet and ran to the telephone next to the lamp, and punched in the numbers 9-1-1. I screamed as the men finally broke into the room.
"911 what is your emergency?" The man on the other line asked calmly.
"HELP ME! They're going to take me!" I shouted before I felt two rough hands pull me from the phone, and another hand holding a piece of cloth cover my nose and mouth. When I finally realized what had happened, it was too late, and the world around me was turning dark. The last thought I had was of what the woman on the phone had said earlier.

I was brought out of my blissful abyss of darkness, by a pain I didn't know was possible to endure.
This wasn't the first time I was awoken by pain since I was abducted, and I doubted it would be the last. After the pain passed I opened my eyes and found myself under a bright light. There were a few people around me wearing surgical masks and medical uniforms. Strong leather straps across my chest, hips, arms and legs were holding me down, but even if they weren't there I didn't have the strength to move away.
"Please...stop..." I tried to call out to them, but it was no use as only a soundless breath left my lips.
'How much time has passed?' I didn't know.
'Where am I?' Again I had no answer.
'Who are these people and why are they causing me so much pain?' My mind drew a blank for every question I asked myself.
Soon the people around me backed away from my view.
"Throw the switch." A man said from somewhere I knew not. This was different than from the other times when I was awake. there hadn't been any switches, only needle, and pain.
'What switch?' I asked myself, the answer presented itself in the most painful way possible. Imagine being ripped in half, skinned with a rusty knife, and thrown into a pit of fire, at the same time. Now imagine that times 1000, and you'd understand how I felt. I screamed in pain until I felt like my vocal cords were ripped to nothing but slivers of useless meat.
It went on like this for a while, no darkness was there to relieve me of the pain. Before I knew what was happening I felt like I was having an OBE. Out of Body Experience. I knew I was still awake but I wasn't in my body anymore. Suddenly gravity was no longer working with me, and I was floating around the dim room. The pain had dulled slightly, but was back with a vengeance a moment later after I was felt like I was falling. When I felt like I wasn't falling anymore, the pain hit me full force and I was finally put out of my misery. The dark reaches of unconsciousness took me away from the people, the pain and any fears I'd had.

When I woke up again, I felt no pain. In fact I felt absolutely nothing. I groaned before trying to open my eyes. This time there were no blinding light or strange men and women in surgical masks. I was in a white room devoid of any windows or doors, or people for that matter. I slowly stood up and took in my surroundings, or lack thereof. I couldn't even place where the lights were coming from! I had only taken a single step toward the wall, when I heard a strange metallic sound. Almost like two gears in need of a good oiling were grinding against each other. I looked down towards the noise, and stared wide eyed at what was there. It looked almost like a human knee cap, though instead of skin, and muscles, I saw machinery working together to make a sort of mechanical knee. I tried to get away from it but the dang thing just followed me. I went to scratch my head in confusion but stopped when my hand came into view. It wasn't a flesh hand at all, but a robotic one, just like the knee. It finally hit me this was my hand but I tried to flex my fingers just to be sure. When the robotic like fingers moved, I stared in horror and in awe.
'What's going on? What happened to me?! Where am I? How long have I been asleep?' I thought to myself as a wave of dizziness washed over me. I leaned on the nearest wall and grabbed my head.
"This isn't happening, this can't be real. I mean it's not even possible to turn a human into a robot, right?" I whispered to myself.
"Oh, it's possible all right." A voice suddenly spoke up, making me jump in surprise. It sounded male, but because it came so suddenly I didn't make the connection at first.
"Wh-who's there?" I asked quietly.
"Are you sure you should be asking about me, and not about yourself?" The voice asked.
I furrowed my eyebrows in annoyance. "Ok what the hell did you do to me?"
"You'd do best to hold your temper, and that's no way to ask for answers. Ask more politely or you can stay in the darkness." I glared at every wall before sighing, though it felt almost hollow.
"Please tell me what you did to me." I said through gritted teeth.
"Was that so hard?" They laughed.
I glared harder, really considering squishing this guy with my foot.
"You are the first successful experiment of a project called Generation IV." They said happily.
I raised an eyebrow and stayed silent.
"You're not even going to ask what Generation IV is?" They asked incredulously at my silence.
"I figured you'd end up telling me." I murmured.
I heard a sigh before they spoke again. "You're no fun. Our other test subject is quite the feisty one, unlike you. Project Generation IV, Gen4 for short, is a sub group to a program called Project M." He informed me with some degree of pride in his voice.
"What's the M stand for? Moronic? Madness? Monster?!" I nearly shouted the last part.
The man clicked his teeth in annoyance, but continued. "If you must know, the 'M' stands for machine, you imbecile."
"Doctor, we must go and perform maintenance, and run a few tests on Gen4." A new voice cut in, though this voice sounded feminine, and further away.
"Ah, yes, I'll prepare the...girl." He said the last part with almost an air of disgust.
"Like hell if I'll let you run tests on me!" I shouted, as memories of the last time these people experimented on me. The pain reinforcing my reluctance.
"Now, now, what have I said about that temper." The man warned. "Besides if you behave yourself while we run some mandatory tests, I'll let you in on a little secret." He said as a human size door on the wall opposite to me opened and three people, all wearing white lab coats and holding their own clipboard, walked in. The door shutting close behind them.
I scoffed as I backed away to the furthest corner. "What secret would you have that I could ever want?" I asked as the three people approached me slowly. There were two men and a woman. The tallest was a thin looking black man, the other man was white and the woman seemed almost Hispanic.
"I don't know, how about the fact that I can tell you how to become human again?" He said and I froze in my spot.
"You're lying." I said softly not wanting to believe it. Was it possible for me to actually become a human again? But why would he tell me this if they just made me into this. I shook my head at his statement.
"What reason would I have to lie?"
"To calm me down enough to drug me into submission." I stated without missing a beat.
The three people were still trying to walk up to her.

"True… what about this, those scientist down there will tell you exactly how to turn into your human form, and answer any questions you may have as truthful as possible, if you calm yourself enough to let us run the tests." He said.

I growled slightly and looked down at the three humans. The woman nodded her head and smiled reassuringly at me.

"You'd better not be lying!" I exclaimed as I took an extremely hesitant step away from the corner.

"We will answer any questions you may have as best we can, now please lay down on your back." The black man said before gesturing to the middle of the room.

4 hours later

How long does it take to run 'a few tests' on a person-er robot? Seriously, I lost track after the first hour. Luckily these specific tests weren't painful, at least not all the way through; they poked and prodded me in a few places that made me yelp, but they didn't poke at that certain place again. When these people finally finished I sat up and stretched my back, smiling when I heard a few satisfying pops. The white man looked up at me in surprise before writing something down on his clipboard. Suddenly a strange feeling of numbness overcame me. I tried to shake it off, but when it wouldn't go away, I figured it was just part of the tests they were performing.

"So we're done now right?" I asked the scientists.

"Yes, all mandatory tests are finished." The woman said without looking at me as she wrote a few things down.

"Great, I held up my part of the bargain, now it's your turn. How do I turn back into a human?" I asked. The three people in lab coats looked at each other, but shook their heads.

"You'll have to ask the head of project GenIV. We have no authority to tell you." The woman said. I glared at them all before the tallest man stepped up.

"But we can and will answer any other questions you have." He said.

"Then where am I?" I asked.

"That is also restricted information." she said.

"How long are you going to keep me here?" I asked.

"For as long as we need to." They said in unison.

I growled at them in anger. "What the hell?! can I ask and get a straight answer?!" I snapped, though they all stayed quiet. "Ok, how long have I been here?" I questioned.

"As of today, it's been two weeks." The white man answered.

I stared at them with wide eyes. Two weeks? No freaking way! I opened and closed my mouth a few times, not able to say what was running through my head. "What about school, and my parents? They…they thought I was coming to visit them." I said dejected.

"According to news reports, and your parents, you have gone missing. most hope you've been kidnapped, others believe you dead." The black man said.

If I weren't already sitting down, I probably would've fallen back already. "Why did you choose me?" I asked after a few moments of silence.

"Because we thought you were capable of transformation." The white man said.

"Also because we secretly ran a few tests in your university." The woman further explained.

"Your scores clearly showed you were more than capable for our…projects." The black man stated, though a little hesitantly.

I stared at them in disbelief as I let their words sink in. "This could've happened to anyone…" I trailed off with a sigh. "Were…how many others are there like me?" I asked. They looked at one another for a moment before the woman looked up at me.

She gulped, and wrung her hands before answering. "There have been no other successful cases in terms of GenIV."

"By 'no successful cases' you mean they died?" I asked and she nodded her head. "How many other cases have there been?" I asked fearful of her answer.

She looked between the two men before she looked up at me. "There have been around 30 cases…" she said softly.

I stared at her with my mouth agape, and horror in my eyes. "You've killed 30 other people because of your stupid projects? And here I thought I was the monster." I stated.

"You say that, but in reality we are the hero's!" the man from before suddenly said, making me glare to where ever he might've been.

"What type of hero kills the innocent?" I asked angrily.

"The type that wants to save the rest of the world! What's a few lives in comparison to the lives of every human on this planet? Besides those people didn't die in vain. The failures of their experimentations, brought forth the success that is you." He said.

I clenched my fists in angry ready to rip the man apart limb from limb.

"You make such scary faces, they suit you well." He said before laughing.

"If you don't have any further questions, we'll be leaving." The black man stated as they all moved towards the door.

"Wait…is there any possible way for you all to bring in a mirror so that I could see myself as a whole?" I asked them.

The woman looked up at me in shock before nodding her head and brought out a cellphone. After she put it away she looked back at me.

"Something should be brought in later." She stated before walking out with the others.

"Who are you?" I asked to the man who I still couldn't see.

"Me? I am the head of this department." He stated with pride.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Why do you care?" he asked curiously.

"Because you're the ass-hole who had better tell me how to turn back into a human." I growled.

He chuckled slightly. "Why should I tell you, if you can't even ask nicely?"

"Because I was kidnapped, tortured, turned into a robotic freak, I've probably lost my scholarships for school, and because of you monsters my parents are worried sick about me!" I shouted.

There was no response for a while, and for a second I thought he wouldn't answer me. "You have a few points, but I don't think I'll tell you. Have a good night, get some rest. Oh and, were going to give you a couple weeks to become adjusted with yourself once again, before we continue with our experimentations, just like before." He stated, and I could almost hear the smile in his voice. There was a low beeping sound, and the silence once again.

I glared at the ceiling before letting out a scream of frustration, anger, sadness, and any other feeling I've had since landing in this situation.

'I have to get out of here.' I thought to myself, as the lights in my room suddenly dimmed
