Chapter 1: A Change
It was silent. There was no noise to be heard in the entire building. Anne assumed that it was night again. It was hard for her to tell. There were no windows in her room. Anne didn't see much outside of her room. The only time she left was when the doctors came or when she was taken to a bathroom to shower. There was no bathroom connected to her room, all she had was a small toilet in the corner of her room. All that was in her room besides the toilet was a bed and a small bookshelf. The bookshelf was filled with books and a small stack had started to pile up next to it. Anne was bored out of her mind, as usual. So she perused through the collection of books looking for one to start rereading. Eventually she decided to start The Hobbit again. Settling in on the floor she started to read. Just as she reached the arrival of the first dwarf she heard a loud bang. Soon after the shouting started. It was coming from a few floors below but it was clear enough for her to know that the base was under attack. Anne rushed to the door and pressed her ear to it hoping to hear something other than the screams and occasional explosions. Sure enough voices and footsteps were soon heard.
"Guard the experiment" was the only sentence that could be made out. There was the sound of feet running away from her room, but Anne knew that there was still at least one agent stationed on the other side of her door.
After about five more minutes all of the noise died down. The only outcome that Anne could think of was that the intruders had been caught. Just as Anne turned to climb into her bed she heard gunshots. Very few sounded and they were followed by a thud then approaching footsteps. Anne's heart started to race. In that moment she knew that the agent set to guard her door was dead and now someone was going to try and get into her room. Thinking quickly she grabbed a few books as weapons, turned off the lights and ran to find a position to attack. Before she knew it the knob was jiggling. Someone was trying to pick the lock. Anne's heart beat quickened in fear and anticipation. Just when she thought she couldn't take the suspense any longer the door opened. There was no one there for a second then someone entered scanning the room. Before they had a chance to spot her Anne threw her copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince right at the intruders head. As soon as she saw to book hit it's mark she ran out the door and down the corridor.
There was yelling behind her from the intruder but she did not care to listen. Anne knew that she was being pursued. She had to get away. As she neared the elevators another intruder stepped out from them. This one was a woman. She was short but athletic with dark red hair. Anne skidded then turned around to try to find a different route out of the building only to find her way blocked by the man that had entered her room earlier. He was a little taller than average with dark sandy colored hair, armed with a bow and arrow. As he approached he tried speaking to Anne.
"Stop running, there is no way out. If you just come with us all will be fine."
In that moment Anne realized that she had one choice. The only escape would be out of the window. She had been held in this base for god knows how long and she wanted freedom. Anne slowly backed up against the wall with window trying to act as if she were trapped with no escape as the two unknown people closed in on her. Quickly she turned and opened the window. As this was happening the man shouted "I got this Nat" and fired and arrow. All Anne felt was a sharp pain in her side then a growing dizziness. Looking down she saw an arrow in her side that was injecting her with some sort of liquid. Anne fell in what felt like slow motion, blacking out completely.
