Prologue
(Neon)
The groups asleep. Everyone in their own space. Ashley and Ruby asleep on one side of the bed with Xavier and Matt on the other side. I'm sitting streched out on the sofa, a sleeping Eidan laying on top of me with her arms wrapped protectivly around my waist. It's not really a surprise, cosidering all we've been put through together. Our story starts before we where in our happy group of six, when it was just me and Eidan. Before we were free from the hell hole we lived in for 12 years.

It hurts. It hurts so much, but I can't stop. If I stop it will only hurt more. How long have I been running like this? How many mazes have I gone through. I lost count at around forty-three. My feet feel like their going to fall off. My lungs are on fire. My legs are shaking and I'm light headed. The only thing I can look forward to is the end of this maze, when I get my ten minutes to rest and my half paper cup of water.
I slow down for a second and an electrict shock goes through me via irritating anklets. I let out a small cry, stumble, and run faster. There it is that beautiful opening. I run faster to it and once I'm past the maze walls I stop and fall to the ground. The tiled floor is amazing on my skin, so cool and flat. I hear a scientist say that my time was about 30 seconds through the two mile maze. Not a surprise to me, but the freaks thought it was 'Amazing!' and 'A break through in science!' What a load of crap. I know that their getting bored with me. They've been experimenting on me for 10 years, ever since I was able to stand at a year old.
My breathing hadn't stablized yet. I could feel the white freaks staring at me, writing down my every move. I try to get up, but my arms and legs were too weak and I fell back to the ground.
"All right. This one's had it. Bring in the next one." The head freak said. I felt two pairs of arms pick me up by my arms. With the last of my strength, I left my head to see a small boy with orange hair being dragged in. Then I black out from fatigue.

Darkness all around but with my geniticly inhanced eyes I can see fairly well. All I can do is sit in my small dog cage and wait for my time for experiments. A bright light breaks the darkness and I see a blonde kid being dragged by two of the white men. He was tossed into the cage next to mine. Then they left closing the door, back to darkness.
Looking over at the boy I whisper, "Neon" He doesn't move, but I know he's alive. They wouldn't have brought him back in here if he wasn't.
"Neon," I whisper again, crawling over to the bars of the cage. He stirs and looks up at me.
"Hey, what's the damage today?"
"Dizzy," he says hoarsly. "Mouth's dry. Can't feel my legs. Wanna sleep for the next fifty years"
I giggle at the last statement. "What they have you do?"
"Run...Run...and run some more" He said irritated. "I hate mazes."
"Alright. Get some sleep before you die from exastion." I reach my hand through the bars and he comes closer and grabs my hand, layes down and is instantly out. But then the door at the end of the room opens again and the white men come up to my cage, unlock it and reach in and pull me away from the sleeping boy.
They struggled to bring me into a white surgical room and strap me to the table. I try to get free of the straps but they won't budge. I hear the silent creak of the door opening. I look to see who came in, but I couldn't see who it is because of the white surgical mask he was wearing. He was carrying a tray full of needles I'm guessing their planning on injecting into me. My eyes widen at the sight of them. My heart starts to race to were I can hear it beat, I can feel the blood sing through my ears.
"Lets begin." the man said.
He picked up a syringe with a bright red liquid inside it. It seemed like an eternaty before it was even close to my skin. He slowly pushed the needle into my arm and injected the liquid into my vains. It felt like being injected with syrup. I cried out as it spread painfully through my system. Then everything was just pain and darkness.
