Portal: White Lie

"Welcome to the Enrichment Centre, please take a seat", the man stared at me in a funny way.
There were about 19 more people here, what could they be here for? I felt so strange, and I was compelled to ask them what was going on, but I was suddenly grabbed, and pressed to the chair!
"Stay still! This won't hurt a bit!" the man shouted.

"Get off me!! Help I-", my eyes grew tired, I couldn't help myself and I must've fell asleep.



Test 1: Rage

"My head...Where am I?" I thought to myself, lifting myself off of the chair, I was alone...
"Don't struggle, you've all been chosen as test subjects for the Aperture Science Enrichment Centre's Portal test."

"Here are Team 1's test subject numbers:
Ian is 1.
Gin is 2.
Fred is 3.
Bear is 4.
Wez is 5.
Lucy is 6.
Pulka is 7.
Tira is 8.
Trey is 9.
Inga is 10."

"Here are Team 2's test subject numbers:
Fate is 11.
Cindy is 12.
Devon is 13.
Rose is 14.
Steve is 15.
Olga is 16.
Sean is 17.
Rachel is 18.
Lisa is 19.
and Debon is 20."

The mans voice cleared out, he was talking to us? Who else was everyone else, what is this "Portal test"?
So many unanswered questions, I was going mad out of paranoia, what do they want with me? Why am I 12...?

"Team 1's captain is Inga and Team 2's is Fate, if the captain is eliminated by our tests or the opposite team, the captain changes by one number."
The man carried on with lists and lists of rules and what not to do, but I wasn't listening, I WANTED TO GET OUT!

"Let the tests begin!"

I was suddenly transported to a room, I found a gun in my hand?
"The Aperture Science Enrichment Centre's Prototype Portal Gun 12"
A Pink and a Green portal, my favourite colours, how odd they would know that...
But if I want to escape, I mind as well finish these tests, they'll let us go, right?
"Right, lets do this."

"Learn to use the Portal Gun...yeah yeah whatever, I don't like reading, so all I gotta do is shoot a pink portal here and a green over there?"
I shot the first portal on the right wall while shooting the other to the other side of the room, with this I could pass the acid pit without falling down.
I ran over into the portal and got to the other side.
"Fabulous, just fabulous."

"Hmmm, next te-whats that?" I glimpsed around the corner when I saw a Purple portal, what the hell? Who's was this? Was it a default one set by the employee's?
I went closer and the portal seemed to lead to a field, but I thought I was in an Enrichment Centre...I entered the portal and I was right! It was a field!
The grass was flowing and the wind blew in my hair, it was a cold chill, but not too cold, just fitting.
"Hello?!" I shouted, but there was no responce.

I turned around and as I shifted my head I felt a huge amount of power pressed on my face as I flung back in a flash.
I hit my head on the portal gun and as I looked up, it was another woman!
"What did you do that for?!" I screamed in rage!
"The point of this test is to eliminate the other team or get the cake! Didn't you listen to the employee's?!"
"I'm sorry, I was too busy kicking your ass!" I rushed forward and pushed her to the ground, but she shot a portal under me and I fell to the ground and hit my head!
"Purple...that was yo-!" she shot another as I dodged and jumped out the way.

"Pathetic, you don't even know how to use that gun, then I'll just fini-" she was interupted as she jumped to the side when a Black portal was shot at her!
"What the hell? Who did that! Get out here you coward!" she screamed, is she okay...she seems to have mental problems.
A tall dark figure portaled by me, he asked me if I was okay...I said I hurt my head.
"Why hello there, meet Test Subject 15. Or should I say Steve" he winked at her.
"Argh, you ignorant bunch of arseholes, die!"

She came running to Steve! Will he be okay, what happened to my everyday life...why is this happening?
