Still Alive
Prologue
I pulled the sleeves of my orange jumpsuit up onto my slightly tan arms before zipping the front up snug so it didn't show my white thick-strap tank top. I pulled the black ponytail holder over my hand that had been sitting above my white wristband on my right arm and pulled my waist length dirty blond hair up in a tight ponytail so that it no longer rest against my back.
I looked in the small mirror at my golden eyes, trying to imagine what was ahead of me. They all told me it would end well, but I wasn't so sure. Of course, I couldn't voice my opinion. Hell, I couldn't voice anything.
I stepped away from the mirror, turning to open the door. Outside, kind eyes met mind.
"Hello, Lupo," Jeb spoke softly, putting a hand on my shoulder so he could lead me into the small room with glass walls. "I'll plug Max into GLaDOS as soon as we get you set up. After the first few tests, Andrew and I are going to have to leave for the surface for more supplies. We'll leave Aidan in charge so he and Nudge can get the hang of controls in the office. That sound okay?"
I nodded. Aidan was almost as smart as his father and Nudge was surprisingly responsible for a sixteen year old. And if there was anyone I could trust to get me through the testing chambers, it'd be Max.
She, Aidan, and I were all the same age of nineteen. We had grown up in this facility since Jeb took me in.
Jeb led me over to a small bed, telling me to lie down on my back. I did as he said, relaxing and closing my eyes.
I heard the hard glass shield close above me and the sound of gas being released from the top made me jump slightly. I kept my eyes closed, taking in a deep breath before sleep overtook me.
A/N: Short, I know. I don't care :D
