Wow! My fourth Alpha Force fan fic. I'm not entirely sure if this one will work, or how long it will be or even if I will have enough inspiration to finish it but I thought that I might as well start and see what you guys thought.
I can't claim much for this story. The inspiration came from another series of books (Maximum Ride by James Patterson) and from an essay I wrote last term. This chapter won't give much away as to what this actual story is about and it will be quite short but oh well. Here goes nothing.
The cell was cold and dark. The smell of unwashed bodies and urine lingered everywhere, from the concrete floor to the stone walls. Ally couldn't remember life outside the cell. She had been just three years old when they had brought her here. That had been two years ago and since that day she had known nothing but the walls of her cell.
All that was about to change.
Ally was woken by the sound of her door being unlocked and pushed open. She sat up in fright as a tall, thin figure dressed in a white lab coat limped through into the cell. He smiled sadistically at Ally and stretched a hand towards her.
'Your time has come,' he whispered.
Ally's eyes grew wider. Time for what? Was she being set free? After so many days in this awful hellhole, she felt a small glimmer of hope. Shyly, she put her tiny hand in the scientist's thin, bony grasp. She slid off her thin mattress and the man led her towards the door. Ally was so focused on imagining what it would be like to see the sky and feel the grass under her feet that she didn't notice the two huge guards standing outside her cell. They grasped her stick-like arms and pulled her roughly down the dimly lit corridor. Ally started to panic. What was going on? On either side of her, lining the corridors were doors, just the door that had kept her imprisoned for two long years. There was mostly no sound leaking from behind the doors, but occasionally a small whimper or sniffle could be heard. Ally started to feel really scared.
At the end of the hall, there was a white double door. The guards nudged the doors open with their feet and strode through, Ally dangling in their grasp. The doors led to a huge laboratory. Benches and shelves lined the walls and several people in white lab coats were busy working at various points around the room. The guards took Ally to the very back of the room and pushed her into a small cage. She sat hunched in the corner, eyes darting frantically. This wasn't right. What was happening?
For the next hour, Ally huddled in her cage watching the scientists at work. Eventually a young woman came and pulled her out of the cage and carried her to a table. Ally struggled as two men strapped her down but it made no difference. The woman left and returned a few minutes later with a syringe. Ally started to cry as a patch of skin on her arm was scrubbed. The woman filled the syringe with a bright blue liquid. She positioned the needle over Ally's arm.
'This won't hurt a bit,' she said.
It was the worst pain Ally had ever experienced. She arched her back but the straps tying down her arms and legs prevented her from moving too much. She gave a high, draw-out scream but it was as if everyone in the lab was deaf. No one paid the slightest attention to her.
The woman left after making notes on her clipboard but the two men stayed. After a few minutes, by which time she was entirely numb, the men unstrapped her and took her back to the small cage. Ally curled up inside it and cried. The pain was still flaring through her body, but she didn't registered it. Her vision swam and her breathing slowed. Ally's small body began to shut down, reacting with the drug that she had been given. The last thing she saw was the woman's frowning face pressed against the metal bars of her cage.
'Not good. Not good at all. That batch needs to go back upstairs.'
Ally shook her head gently. Batch? What was she talking about? Then Ally slipped away, finally finding freedom from her suffering.
Sorry that was short, had not a word about Alpha Force and was probably incredibly confusing but you will have to wait and see. Please review guys and let me know what you think.
