I don't own any characters other than Sam. They belong to their respected authors/creators.

Chapter 1

I woke as if from a deep sleep, wondering who and where I was. I feel as if I am floating in a viscous liquid. All I am able to do is hear a jumbled barrage of sound. Slowly, so painfully slow that if felt as if minutes went by before I began to understand what was being said.

"It is finally done. Should we start it up?" said a masculine voice somewhere to my right with excitement

"Yes, I want to see how our latest experiment has turned out," a female voice this time from my left. "If it is a major success this will put Itex Corporation one step closer to achieving our master race for the future. Though we shouldn't forget what part the Umbrella Corporation had in this. Though, I think they only wanted their name to be recognized for contributing to science even though they only provided the virus and the system to keep her under out observation even if she escapes."

Then I heard the whirr of machines starting up. I also heard what sounded like bubbles that quickly escalated to a whoosh of escaping water out of a pipe.

"This will be the test to see if it can survive," says the woman on my left. "Then we can…"

After that I drift off into the unending blackness of unconsciousness.

I woke up later with a splitting headache and cramps all over my body from laying on the bottom of a metal cage that is only big enough for me to sit up straight and lay fully spread out either way. In the haze of my headache I feel a probe if curiosity penetrate my brain.

'Who are you?' says a voice in my head.

"What do you mean who am I?" I ask groggily. "I should be the one asking who you are and what you are doing in my head."

'I am in your head, think to your self and I will hear. As to my name you may call me Angel.'

'Okay, so do you know who I am?' I ask feeling stupid for having asked such a stupid question which Angel had already answered with the first question.

'No I do not. Why, don't you know your own name?'

'Well… I don't remember much before this point in time,' I say in my thoughts.

'Ah, you might have amnesia. I could give you a name if you want.'

'Sure, why not? Then at least I will know who I am.'

'On your cage there is a placard with what looks like a lizard and fire. How about Salamander, with Sam for short?'

'Sure, sounds mysterious and fun.'

Thanks for following through with reading this. Yes it may seem different and weird. Please review. Anything is accepted. This is my first story here. I hope it turned out well.
