Chapter One: Elucidation
OoOoOoOoOoOo
"Doctor Liam Smith here. Project H.Y.B.R.I.D. has started on Sunday, October 5th 2016. The project is going along perfectly," the doctor made his way towards a cage, holding a tape recorder, "how is it?"
"The Project is waking up, sir," a woman said as one soldier shocked the experiment with a prod. The experiment was a sixteen year old girl with raven black hair, a few tiny streaks of indistinguishable colors mixed in.
The girl screeched and swiped at the cage bars. The soldier quickly stepped back.
"Project H.Y.B.R.I.D. has made amazing progress sir," a man said, looking to Liam.
"Good, good. I am surprised it's survived the experiments... unlike... the others," Liam said with a sharp edge in his voice.
The other scientists looked at each other while some shivered and others kept silent.
The sixteen year old shifted into a bright white, orchid purple, royal blue and silver mechanical dragon with blazing blue eyes.
"Outstanding," Liam breathed as the soldiers poked the Hybrid with the eletric prods and making her roar and hiss with pain.
She fell to the floor, panting heavily and raggedly as the chains around her neck, arms and legs bristled.
She glared up at Liam.
He chuckled as he stood before her, "you're going to do great things, aren't you, my little hybrid?"
She only hissed, baring her fangs before she turned into her human form. Liam smirked before he grabbed her.
She hissed but yelped when his fist connected with her cheek, making her topple over.
"Hold her down," he said sternly and two guards quickly moved forward.
She was about to snap at them but found a muzzle wrapped around her mouth. She shook her head furiously, trying to push the guards off.
She let out a muffled scream as she felt a searing pain in her back. Liam smirked as he carved the knife into her skin, drawing blood, engraving his name into her back. It only became worse as she started thrashing.
Her throat became hoarse from screaming and hot tears ran down her cheeks as she trembled from the pain in her body.
Once the guards let her go, she fell to the ground and she barely made a noise as Liam grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him.
"You belong to me... Paige," he hissed. Her vision clouded and slowly turned black just as he let go of her.
Liam walked away from the cage, wiping the blood off of his knife with a towel as the other scientists got up and followed him.
Paige, as Project H.Y.B.R.I.D. was named, slept on the cold floor of her cage, the chains bruising and hurting her wrists.
She was allowed to be fed twice a week and she would usually do nothing but stare at the wall. If she misbehaved, she would be punished.
She wished that her life was different. She wished that she could escape from her nightmare.
What she didn't know was that her wishes would be granted sooner.
