Prologue:

As the dark of night filled the camp, a new sense of terror loomed over its many inhabitants. For most of the prisoners, the dark meant hours tossing and turning, trying to fight off the nightmares that resided in their dreams. For others it served as a reminder of a new day approaching, meaning another day where you had to endure countless hours of experimentation.

For me, the dark meant hope, a place to escape the nightmare I live in. Tonight was different; I felt fear gripping at my chest . I was going to try to escape from this hell- hole. I had tried in the past only to be caught and taken back for punishment. Each time they caught me, it only got worse. I shuddered at the memories of those dark days.

The watchman passed in front of the door. Here was my chance. I quietly unlocked the metal door and stepped out into the cool night breeze. I began to walk to the hole in the fence when I heard footsteps behind me. I froze with fear, then quickly snapped out of it. Fear was the enemy; I couldn't let it control me. I was able to run behind a bush just before the person appeared. My breathing was short and panicked. I tried to calm myself down by slowly twisting the golden locket around my neck. Feeling the smooth, worn down surface calmed me, and I let out a deep breath.

I cautiously raised my head to find the coast all clear. I emerged from my spot and traveled on ward. By the time I was able to see the gate I felt a feeling of happiness shoot through my body. I had never made it this far before. As I stepped out of the shadows, I felt a cold, hard hand land on my shoulder.

"Second time this month 6263. I truly thought you would have learned your lesson by now. There is no escape from here. "

"let go of me!" I snarled while hitting his hand off my shoulder.

" Ohhh well that's no way to treat your creator. Tsk, tsk. Guards take her back to the main building, we have some more testing to do."

My eyes grew wide with fear, and my voice came out as a strangled sob, "no, not that place again! PLEASE anywhere but there" I screamed.

"it is too late, take her away"

I felt two hand grasp my arms roughly, and they began to pull me forward. My bare feet scraped against the ground, causing pain to shoot up my legs. I clawed and struggled against their iron grip only to have them hold on tighter. As they dragged me off into the dark clutches of the building, I let out a scream, only to have the wind carry it away.
