Chapter 1: White Hell
White. That's all there is around. White walls, white floor, white ceiling, and white lights. But that's all there is. No furniture decorates the room. All there is is white tile floor, white cushioned walls, a white clock inside the wall with black lines around the edge, and a high, white wall with the one large, white light hanging.
People say that the color white is a great color, standing for things like innocence, the good, and cleanliness. White is the light in the black to find hope. The color white is friendly in the world. But to the girl, who is the only person in the room not blending with the white, it only means false sensation. For behind these six barriers of exclusion are dark, menacing rooms full of equally bad people that do terrible things to innocent lives, mainly to her. They hold large needles that poke and prod the innocent girl, changing her, molding her to their image. Beyond the walls, there is no happiness, no mercy, absolutely no reason to live. The people walk around resolutely through dark hallways of metal littered with doors that lead to even darker rooms with deadly yellow light where the so-called scientists examine her, with tables full of sharp tools that could slice a steel pipe in a second. It's those rooms that nightmares come alive and where Death waits nearby, waiting for his prize to come. The girl each day always comes close to meeting the welcoming person but unfortunately stays far away. So long, she wants the great relief of never waking up so she can escape all the darkness surrounding her, the torture, and the false hope.
But she's not the only one the horrible people experiment on. There are others before and after her that go through a treatment much like hers but the other innocent people are given mercy, for they never last more than a few days. The girl is the only lasting test subject and the evil men's most prized possession.
The girl stuck in the bright, ominous room is thirteen years old. Her head is topped with, what once was ginger; altered red hair that looks like it was dyed with blood, crudely cut to shoulder length. Her eyes used to be brown, but the mean scientists turned them to a bright yellow hawk eye, and her skin is slightly pale from the lack of sunlight and experimenting. Her body is well-developed despite her age, thanks the awful people that tampered with her genetics. They have also changed her to match the selected animals for their abilities. They gave her the reflexes of the great cheetah, the strength of the elephant, the agility of the leopard, and hidden inside her bare hands and feet are sharp claws that can retract like a cat's. They have also tainted her DNA to add some influences that are unnatural. The reason behind that is the leader of the organization wants the perfect weapon to use for his needs. But the man, being a smart man, has a doctor come and check up on the subject so to see if everything is functioning, the door guarded by two to three well-trained guards. But they never check to see if she is all well. They only check to see if their weapon is in top-notch shape and will not turn on them soon. So far, the girl has been going along with all of this and lying to the doctors that she's fine, for soon she will turn on them and escape.
The girl named Penny every day thinks of her past life before being kidnapped, where she lived peacefully with her parents and pet Labrador. No care for the world and feeling free as a bird. Nothing could have foreseen that just one event can change everything about the world. One night, while the father watched the news for anything interesting happening in the outside world, the mother tucked her only daughter to bed. Suddenly, they hear the door slam open with a big crash and the sound of suspicious bangs, spooking everyone in the bedroom. After calming the scared Penny, the mother walks out to check when more bangs are heard and scuffling. Soon, a couple of men with guns rush in and quickly dispatch the barking dog. One of the men snatches the screaming girl and everyone rushes out of the house, some opening up jugs of a foul smelling liquid in the process. Penny tries to claw her way out of the man's grasp and got a glimpse of her mother and father lying on the floor with wide eyes, a small pool of red water nearby. The men pour the liquid all over the house and throw some lit matches they had, quickly lighting Penny's house like a bonfire. That's the last she has seen her parents.
The memory is still fresh in Penny's corrupted mind but it feels like a faint dream compared to the world she lives in now. It's been so long since she's touched the outside world. In fact, the young girl can't remember what the world looked and felt like. It's all a big blur of colors. She longs to see the bright sun and the calming moon the other trapped children talks about. She wants to feel the warmth of life envelop her whole being. To feel free once again instead of a sad creature stuck behind bars of white everywhere. Every day, Penny always ponders on why she, of all people, has to try and endure the excruciating pain that comes. And she is always returned to the white room where her only roommate is the god of death on the other side of the room.
For seven years, Penny went through three stages while living in the human Hell. At first, she brutally resisted everyone from probing deep within her, punching and kicking everyone and screaming her lungs off. After about two years of exile and sedating medicines, she gave up on all hope she had carried for there is no escape of the large prison. The last and most recent stage happens after five years of losing optimism; she has begun something no other person has even dared to do. Penny, using her great memory of the passageways and entrances she has seen and the quick glimpse of a blueprint of the whole prison, she has come up with a plan to run out of the Hell-hole and into the forgotten world of Earth. Now she just needs to wait for the right time.
Looking up at the clock, the girl sees that the time will be soon. She doesn't remember how to read a clock but she was able to remember when food and checkups are, and in about three small ticks, a doctor with three guards will come and leave the door wide open. With the help of her unnatural influence, though she hates to even think about them, and her great agility and smarts, Penny will be free of the pain and will never look back.
