Prologue
Gilette, Wyoming
2020
A deafening explosion broke the silence. Above them, the blackness that was the night sky was illuminated momentarily in shades of gold and scarlet, almost appearing as if it was ignited. The scattered sounds of gunfire and frightened voices filled the air, and the reverberation of thundering footsteps echoed through their environs.
A solitary car sped through the empty road, and the passengers were more than a bit nervous. Two pairs of eyes peered out of their windows, looking anxiously for what might have been the sounds of fear and chaos…hoping that what they had heard was a mere figment of their imagination.
As they drew nearer, the sounds increased their volume, and they then knew that what they had heard was reality. The smell of smoke, blood, and burnt flesh reached their senses, and their skin prickled with unease. Another earsplitting detonation shook the grounds and the two women exchanged a troubled glance.
Something was very wrong here.
…
"Max!" Alec's voice called out from her from behind. She spun around and saw him waving wildly at her from the perimeter fences. Behind them hundreds of transgenics, X-series and freaks, were running towards the borders. The dozens of barracks and facilities had burst into angry flames. The prison that used to be their home was disintegrating right before their eyes.
She snapped back to reality and blurred towards her one and only friend in Manticore – X5-494. He was the one that kept her through all the pain and suffering that had tortured her – tortured her back there. He was the one that had helped her torch the hellhole called Manticore. She reached him in record time, and the two X5s simultaneously cleared the 12-foot high fence easily. They landed onto the other side soundlessly.
And that was it.
They had escaped hell.
She glanced at Alec and their eyes met. Liberation was theirs.
"Let's get out of here," she said. He nodded and they darted into the forest. Running footsteps and shouts of trepidation and fear echoed around them. Chaos surrounded them. The smell of fear and blood was fresh in the air. The two transgenics kept themselves close to each other, and it wasn't long until they emerged from the pandemonium.
They stepped onto the middle of the highway, which was bare of any vehicles except one. A lone car was speeding through the road – going straight towards them. "Don't move," she hissed at Alec who started to blur to the left. He stared at her as if she were insane. "It's going to stop."
And it did stop. A mere inch from their genetically enhanced bodies.
The driver – some blonde chick was goggling at them. The brunette beside her was doing the same thing. Max didn't wait for an invitation. She threw open the door and entered the car with Alec close behind her.
"What – who…?" The blonde spluttered.
The sound of gunshots pierced the night. That was all the blonde needed. She slammed onto the accelerator and the car surged to life. And they sped off, leaving their past behind in the dust.
But both transgenics knew that it wouldn't be long until their past came back to haunt them.
…
To be continued……
A/N: Aren't I evil??? Don't worry, I already wrote the next chapter. But if I don't get any reviews… threatening voice I won't be updating!!! Hah!
Sneak Peak:
Max didn't reply. Instead, she pulled out a bottle of holy water, a cross, and three more stakes.
